POPSIslam's Biggest Enemy Is The Muslims Themselves
U.N. Human Rights Council, the Saudi Shura Council raised objections, since reviling other religions is one of Islam's central precepts. "The ones who harm the Prophet are those who believe that woman is lewd, and that she detracts from the purity of prayer just like a dog or a donkey...and those who believe that a woman lacks intelligence.

His words sent tremors throughout the jihadist world. Al-Qaeda does not have a central organisation and has been a movement based more on ideas, rather than concrete plans for political change. Here was one of its former theorists attacking those very ideas. "

POPSRevenge for Danish Cartoons Blamed for Pak Blast But Richer, former deputy chief of operations for the CIA, says that a recent interview given by CIA director Michael Hayden may also have been a factor in the attack. Central Intelligence Agency Director General "Michael Hayden made some very strong comments about al-Qaida not necessarily being on the run, but much more tactical in nature, diminished in stature worldwide, particularly in nature of Saudi Arabia and Iraq," he said. "They've got to do something. You know, this may not have been an al-Qaida attack, but it is an attack that draws attention back to the fact that these groups can take action."
