DAR AL HARB - U.S.A. - CALIFORNIA: ISLAM IS NOT TO BLAME, THE CAUSES OF THE JIHAD ARE: POVERTY, LACK OF POLITICAL FREEDOM & FAILED U.S. POLICIES...

First lady of Qatar argues Islam not the root of extremism

The first lady of Qatar, a close U.S. ally, argued that Islam has been incorrectly blamed for the rise of extremist violence when the real culprits include poverty, a lack of political freedom and what she called failed U.S. policies.

Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned told the Los Angeles World Affairs Council Tuesday that societies worldwide were failing to provide jobs, hope and a feeling of greater good for their citizens.

As a result, youth "are seduced by a global culture of violence that is fueled by cynicism," said Sheikha Mozah, dressed in pants, a business blazer and with her hair covered.

"In the Middle East, youth feel politically paralyzed, and are doubly excluded. Like the general population, they cannot choose their governments and are severely limited in venues of self-expression," she said. "Certainly, failed U.S. policies in the Middle East have provided a fertile ground for radical groups."

Her 15-day U.S. tour includes stops in New York, Los Angeles and Houston to push her country's vision for the future of the Middle East and expand sister campuses with U.S. universities.

The Sheikha must not have understood the Arabic in the qur'an, because I certainly understand the cause of the jihad and it has nothing to do with the reasons she names...

It all has to do with the satan worshipping mohammad and his 'religion of head choppers', murderes, rapists, child abusers, pedophiles, etc. , islam...

The Sheikha may find the following: Islam & Terrorism interesting reading...She will find the 'root causes' of the jihad and they are not 'failed U.S. policies'...
