In a Sunday report, Arab News said that twenty-one "prominent Saudi religious scholars" issued a statement and a religious fatwa calling on Iraqis to attack Americans, refuse cooperation with American forces, and -- though the wording is unclear on this point -- apparently calling on Saudis and other Muslims to go to Iraq to join the insurgency. That the Saudi government supports this is proved by the publication of it. The clock is ticking down in Falluja, and it should be in Riyadh as well.
