Saudi Muftiii finally spoke. He finally criticized the rush by young Saudis to join Jeeehaaaad. He however did not admit that the efforts originated in Saudi Arabia but blamed them on "external forces." External forces? When the House of Saud was recruiting fanatical Muslims to join the anti-Communist struggle during the Cold War, you were part of that fanatical apparatus. I never expected to see Wahhabi religious fanatics distancing themselves from the religious fanaticism that they have nurtured and cultivated. This is like a Saudi royal posing as a voice of reason and enlightenment.
