"This wave of violence that has swept across Saudi Arabia does not surprise me. The sermons and behavior that have been a constant feature in our society were bound to lead to this if not more. How can you expect to convince a 30-year-old fanatic that what he is doing is wrong, unethical and pure madness when for the past 20 years of his existence he has been the subject of a long, highly intensive extremism course?"

What I find encouraging about this article is that it does not once blame America or Israel for the violence. I think this is the first Arab-authored article I've read that places the blam squarely on the perpetrators and their supporters.
