Saudis frees 1,500 Muslim extremists who refute Islam.
Ok, so I made up the title but if you want me to believe these clowns are not dangerous then they will have to leave Islam. Mohammed’s minions can not be trusted to play nice with others and freeing them just puts them back in play.

Saudi Arabia, waging a crackdown on Islamist militants, has released 1,500 extremists after they repented, a newspaper said on Sunday.
- Yippie, they rejected Mohammed as a role model and an example for mankind (sarcasm). What changed was these killers have offered to attack only infidels and not other Muslims. Islam is running out of wannabe jihadi and needs to recycle a few.
The 1,500 were among 3,200 militants with whom a government-appointed “advice committee” met around 5,000 times since it was formed three years ago, Al-Watan said, quoting committee member Mohammad al-Nujaimi.
The paper did not clarify if the rest had refused to renounce the ideology of “takfeer” – branding other Muslims as infidels in order to legitimize violence against them.
- This is the tip of the iceberg folks, more will follow all over the ummah.
The ideology is espoused by militants who advocate the use of force to overthrow regimes deemed corrupt or unrepresentative and to establish a global Islamic state.
- It does bet the other ideology, which calls for world domination through foce. That one is still in effect.
Mr Nujaimi said the 1,500 militants who changed their views had renounced Saudi-born Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden’s call on his followers to “cleanse the Arabian Peninsula of polytheists”.
- But not infidels
The advice committee comprises more than 100 Islamic scholars, preachers and experts in sharia, or Islamic law, in addition to 30 psychologists and social workers, the paper said.
- The key here is all of them support sharia the most oppressive ideology on the planet bar none.
Saudi Arabia has waged a relentless crackdown on suspected Al Qaeda militants since they launched a spate of bombings and shootings in the oil-rich kingdom in May 2003.
- I would hardly call arresting a token few who misbehaved at home a “relentless crackdown” the only crack here was smoked by anyone who thinks we would fall for this sham.

They’re just sorry if they killed a few “innocents” (i.e. co-cultists). And that’s good enough reason to let them go by the Saudis.

This is an important piece of news, and I hope that people around the world pick up on its significance. In short, the re-indoctrination process condemns the teachings of both Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Sayyid Qutb.
Here is what Wikkipedia had to say about takfeer:
Hassan al-Banna, the Egyptian founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, is said to have been influenced by the Wahhabis. The Muslim Brotherhood also claimed to be purifying and restoring original Islam. When the Muslim Brotherhood was banned in various Middle Eastern countries, Saudi Arabia gave refuge to Brotherhood exiles. This seems to have set the stage for a mingling of Brotherhood and Wahhabi thought under the aegis of the term Salafism. Rebels against the Saudi state found justification in the thought of Sayyed Qutb, a member of the Brotherhood who spent years in Egyptian jails. Some Wahhabis, or Salafis, rejected what they call Qutbism, as a deviation from true Salafism. Thus there is now a considerable spectrum of religious opinion within Saudi Wahhabism/Salafism, to a great extent divided on the question of whether the Saudi state is to be supported, endured patiently, or violently opposed. The modern day Salafis, deny that Hassan al-Banna or Sayid Qutb where followers of the Salaf, since they upheld the view that it is allowed to overthrow the Muslim leader, and to make “Takfeer” (the act of placing a Muslim out of the fold of Islam, making him a disbeliever) on him based on Major Sins.
From the Saudi royal family’s point of view, this reindoctrination preserves the Salafi view that they have the world’s only true religion, but it makes the royal family “off limits” as far as purging the land of the two holy mosques of corruption. “Graduates” must pledge fealty to the king. This is the same issue that got Osama bin Laden kicked out of KSA in the first place. So, why are so many Saudis still supporting Al Qaeda in Iraq?

Right Truth Debbie ~ Prisoners in the United States have been trying this for years. Every prisoner who goes before the parole board has found religion and has been saved. Just ask them.
