LOL.

"Most wanted terrorists" is a laughably transparent attempt to use American terminology to conceal the Jihad agenda.

I would suggest they just drop the lame charade and just get on with their Jihad out in the open.

There are no terrorists in Islam only muslims engaged in Jihad.

And most non-muslims aren't buying all the old-fashioned deceptions. They no longer work. We all know the cause of jihad violence is the ideology devised and spread by their warlord leader, Mohammed.

Yeah! Of course, nobody has ever been slaughtered in the name of OUR god and his offspring.

Right now, there are multiple candidates vying for the presidential nomination who, on the one hand speak about what grand Christians they are (some of them even speak to and are answered by god), and on the other hand they are calling for war and bloodshed against people who have not harmed them or their country. What a good bunch of moral upstanding citizens and such good examples of the Christian faith.

The problem with all these terrorist lists is, they are drawn up by governments to include people whose only crime is to be vocally opposed to the regimes in power. But, label them a terrorist and you can be certain they will, if captured, never see a trial and will most likely end up dead. That's if the assassination squads and drones don't find them first. Sure, they can make up all sorts of allegations but without a public trial, they never have to present hard evidence of guilt.

And so, back to the Saudis. They are one of the most brutal dictatorships in the Middle East and even sent in tanks and troops to kill unarmed people in neighbouring Bahrain, when those people too decided to stand up to another western backed brutal regime. Money talks though, as with all things in life these days, and they have tons of it and our politicians will bend over backwards to get some of it.

I think it is foolish to claim that the proliferation of violent Islamic extremism (terrorism) that we see today in the world directly originates with the Muslim Brotherhood. That being said they most definitely have a played a, role the three men who arguably have had the biggest influence on Bin Laden all had their roots in the Muslim Brotherhood. Those men being Sayyid Qutb, Abdullah Yusuf Azzam and Ayman Al-Zawahiri all of whom have connections to the Muslim Brotherhood however the Muslim Brotherhood as an organisation does not appear to support the radical view’s of Al-Qa’ida and other groups.

It is unwise to argue that the Muslim Brotherhood alone is responsible for violent Islamic extremism. Not all Islamic groups can be directly traced back to the Muslim Brotherhood, such as Hezbollah a Shia group (The Muslim Brotherhood is predominately Sunni, much like Hamas). The Muslim Brotherhood also has no connections to the Taliban or many Kashmir groups such as Lashkar-e-taiba then their or nationalistic Islamic movements deemed to be “terrorists” such as the Kurdistan Worker Party. Then there are the terrorist groups that are backed by states such as Pakistan and Iran. Asside form that we also have terrorist groups that are not influenced by Islam or indeed any religion but perhaps a nationalistic or other ideological cause such as the IRA or FARC. The list really is quite extensive of groups who have little or no influence from the Muslim Brotherhood.

It would be very nice if we could point a figure at one individual or one organisation and say “terrorism, it’s your fault” but the truth is we can’t. There are so many factors that contribute to the manifestation of violent Islamic extremism, so many other scholars who justify Jihad by the sword, so much history, so much ill-conceived current foreign policy, perceptions, poverty and so on that inspire someone to strap a bomb to their chest and kill 150 innocents. To get into the specific motivations off various terrorist groups is for another time for now it is just important to understand that no one organisation can be blamed as the origin of the problem. This Saudi minister has oversimplified the complex nature of violent Islamic extremism and I disagree entirely with is assertion that “the Muslim Brotherhood is the origin of the problems (Extremism and terrorism)”.

More deceptions masquerading as analysis.

There is no such thing as "violent Islamic extremists", "extreme Islamists", "missundersatnders of Islam", etc. They are simply more labels clumsily slapped onto adherents to conceal the simple fact that all the death is the result of Islamic Jihad; the method by which Islam is spread.

Muslims spread Islam through Jihad.

“my Jihad is Jihad of the heart, striving to life a morally just life, terrorism is incompatible with my Jihad and the true Jihad of every Muslim”.

That lie is so 1990s. Are you seriously trying to spread the "jihad of the mind" crap? It's laughable.

Like I said; mired in the 7th Century.

Hopefully the Saudis can capture those big, bad terrorists so all of us non-muslims can feel safe again!
