There's a horde of angry Arabs outside my office, yelling about the destruction in Iraq.
Interestingly, they are not taking on US foreign policy, but Saudi Arabia, whose embassy (I just learned) is across the street from the Watergate. This appears to be the group running the protest, and this is their explanation:
Saudi Arabia's Government is aware of the groups who directly support terrorism by hosting and supporting those who issue calls and ideologies that encourage terrorism in Iraq and elsewhere. Muslims across America denounce the destruction of the Islamic holy shrines which represent our religious, architectural and cultural heritage. Similar calls for destruction are responsible for the bombings of the Al-Askariyya Shrine in Samarra, Iraq twice last year, in which hundreds of civilians were killed. Such radicalism is present in Saudi Arabia and is also responsible for the destruction of the Jannat-ul-Baqee cemetery in Madina, Saudi Arabia on April 21, 1925, where several companions and family members of the Prophet are buried. The destruction of Jannat-ul- Baqee is a major crime committed by the Wahhabis within Saudi Arabia against the people of Islam and is a great loss to the heritage of Islam. Saudi Arabia has unfortunately been turned into a school for nurturing terrorism. According to the latest report by US military, more than half of the foreign fighters entering Iraq are coming from Saudi Arabia (Los Angeles Times, July 18 2007). Not to mention 15 of the 19 hijackers on September 11, 2001 were Saudi nationals. Al-Baqee would like to promote the awareness of such Wahhabi efforts aimed at further division of the Muslim community which are fueling Intra-Islamic terrorism and destruction around the world. We appeal to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to end all governmental support and ties to the Wahhabi structure in the Saudi Kingdom and worldwide. As a close U.S.-ally, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has an obligation for providing freedom of worship and honoring human rights for all within its borders. Al-Baqee calls upon the Saudi Govt. for the restoration and preservation of Islamic Holy Sites (i.e. Jannat-ul- Baqee) and encourages Saudi government to use its influence to restrain Wahhabi rhetoric that is fueling much destruction around the world.
maybe teh islamofascists should be hit with two by fours
