#2This is fantastic news! This is the best news I've heard in a while.
I have friends who don't like Muslims because "Muslim = terrorism". I've always struggled to argue the lack of denouncing terrorism by Muslim leaders. While there is protest by the Muslim community, the message is never driven home.
I also want to add that some disgusting people posted some hateful messages toward all Muslims on Al Jazeera. It just re-enforces my beliefs that trash comes from all religions and genders.

Let's not pretend this is anything but the Saudis looking out for their own interests. They've been funding and supporting hardline terrorist groups for decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-sponsored_terrorism#Saud...
They just don't want ISIS targeting the House of Saud as their next victim.
There are much better Muslim role models than this.

Maybe we should judge you by the worst of people who look like you.

The Saudis were not the only ones who condemned ISIS.
Hundreds of Moslem clerics signed an open letter condemning ISIS in 2014: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/isis-is-...

This is fantastic news!
Notice the article is over a year old. It's hard to see if it has had any impact whatsoever on the situation.

This is a strange post.
First, the original posting is dated 2014 - almost 2 years ago.
Second, you offer really nothing to defend the ideologues of the violent aspect of Islam that seem to be so rampant these days.
Trash can come from all religions. Often does. Should you really be a true believer of Islam, your focus should not be converting us non believers of your virtues, but instead convincing your fellow believers that violence is more likely to sway non believers in the opposite direction than is intended.
Edit: to the downvoters; I'd love to discuss how and why I am wrong. I'm likely wrong, admittedly, but would appreciate the opportunity to learn why.

I wish we would stop equating Islam with race. It's a set of ideas that are adopted to various degrees by members of every race.
Generalization based upon the adoption of sets of ideas would seem to be a great deal more logical than generalization based upon race.
