After reading the comments of the diverse analysts around the bombing from Saturday of a compound filled with many foreign Muslims I have decided not to comment upon these analysts.

I have to declare that this particular bombing and choice of targets is against the story, furthermore this will not bring the great Umma any closer this will only harm the creation of that. There are no long term goals served with this and no short term goals, the great and united Muslim nation can only be achieved by the power of the word and the power of logic.

After weighting all that happened and given the amount of dead children I have arrived at the next advice:

It is in the way of the story that all cells and people who participated in this will be wiped out. Furthermore it is my wish that this will be done via one bullet through the heart, no torture of stuff like that. Just a clean shot through the heart and each and everyone who participated needs to be wiped out.

So this goes for the people who stole the cars, this goes for the ones who delivered the explosives and so on and so on.

At last a few words to the Saudi governmental figures; let me ask you to consider a few political reforms like we have for example freedom of speech and all the reforms that are needed to build a great Muslim nation that does apply the rule of live and let live.

Also it would be wise to take into account that nowhere in the entire Koran it is told that the house of Saud should rule Saudi Arabia. So serve the great Muslim country in a humble way and know that you are nothing special, wipe out corruption and stuff like that. Thanks for your attention.

Reinko Venema.

Today I feel a bit softer upon the Riyadh bombing but it still is a fact that in case this was some al Qaida work it is for sure not the al Qaida I know. This was lousy performance, this was strange planning and on top of this is was done without a clear signal from my side.

Unacceptable in many ways, but this could be a loose bunch of bandits too. But when we compare the attacks from May with this one I still am puzzled as hell, this attack might be some wake up call for the Saudi royal family but at the same time this hinders the long term goals of al Qaida in a fundamental way. So again completely wrong and bad in the long run.

But ok, suppose this was some kind of al Qaida attack, what went wrong all in all? It has been observed that in the past employees from Boeing were into this compound, so was there acting on old information? Could be, but again this is stupid and not the al Qaida I know.
Is it may be the fact that the crackdown on cells was rather good and only bad cells are left over? Could be to, could be to. So again I have to say that only ripe cells must attack in (spectecular) attacks preferable on military (or related) targets, but it could be a reaction upon the crackdown, this could be.

Still I cannot bake French fries from this, on the other hand a relatively good quotes were found. These quotes are still only words so lets hope these words will come out and the arrogance of the royal family will be shaven a little bit. Because it still is a fact that a lot of things are simply wrong into Saudi Arabia, these are facts too. Now for a few quotes:

RIYADH (AFP) - Saudi Arabia must reform and confront growing extremism before more suicide attacks take place, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, an influential nephew of the king, said in an interview published Monday.

Many Saudis have still not come to terms with the fact that Saudis carried out the September 11 terrorist attacks and the May 12 attacks on residential compounds in Riyadh, he told the pro-reform Al Watan newspaper.

"Extremism and fundamentalism move a small percentage among us, and they try to impose their narrow point of view on all of society, and we need to stop them and draw a line in the sand," Alwaleed told the daily ahead of the midnight Saturday blast that killed at least 17 people in Riyadh.

The prince said he did not feel Saudi society had adequately asked, let alone answered, the question of why some of its citizens kill themselves and others.

Comment: Why don't you study the roots of this kind of behavior? This behavior is fascinating in many ways and often al Qaida has helped me when I needed this to confront local authority slime. But again I have to emphasize that there is a gap between the Media picture of al Qaida and what it is in reality. Quoting on:

The prince also said reform was the only way forward.

"I speak first as a Saudi citizen, then as a businessman and finally as a member of the Saudi ruling family, because reform is not a requirement of businessmen only, or members of the ruling family, but a requirement of every Saudi citizen," he said.

The prince said he was "optimistic" and noted the welcome he said Saudis had given to plans to hold municipal elections.

"We shouldn't belittle the electoral process, it is the green light. This is the first step for elections in the Consultative Council. I tell you women must vote," he added.

Comment: Again one of those misconceptions around the al Qaida network, often females did have their role even into attacks. Remember one of the first car bombs into the Iraqi landscape against US soldiers? Within a few days I was delivered my 'Six balls on a plate'.

Lets leave it with this, sincerely yours.
