On 2 October this man walks into the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul to collect papers that would allow him to marry his Turkish Fiancee and hasn't been seen or heard of since. Yours views please.

President Trump was on Fox and Friends this morning and they were really pushing the President on what he will do about the missing Saudi Journalist Jamal Khashoggi. He couldn't give them an exact response . . . but it appears the state department is working on it.

God be with Mr.Khashogi.
Islam, the religion of peace. Yes, nothing reiterates that like exploding believers.

Jamal Khashoggi was a prominent Saudi journalist who was close to the inner circle of the Saudi royal family at one time, but decided to break away from them. There is good reason to believe that he knew all about the Saudi involvement in 9/11 and would have exposed all the culprits (including the Americans). He became critical of the current regime and was told to shut up, but since he disregarded that, he had to be executed.

Thats an interesting response. I can buy the Saudi side of the explanation but who are the Americans that were desperate enough to cause such a tragic event and why after all this time are they not in Prison or executed?

No doubt the Saudi goverment considered Jamal an enemy of the people and a spreader of fake news.

Well the smart cracks can cease now. Seriouly , one wonders how old some are.
Mr.Khashogi is dead. He was tortured to death. Reportedly dismembered while alive and his suffering was supposedly recorded.
God's mercy upon him. And God's comfort to his grieving family and fiance'.
May justice be done.

Americans in power were not "desperate enough", but they were arrogant enough to ignore (or minimize or dismiss) all the threats from Islam and the Muslims (Sunni and Shia) from 1970 (when Khomeini fired his warning shot) to 2000. They were also arrogant enough to avoid studying the Quran carefully, and seeing that Radical Islam had its roots in the Quran and Saudi Wahhabism, and even *moderate* Muslims would not oppose the Quran. The government and the intelligence agencies were all culpable of gross negligence (and many of treason also).

No politician stood up and said "Radical Islam is at war (Jihad) with the Great Satan (the USA) and the entire Western world, and we must take all steps to protect our borders, our nations, and our citizens". They simply rubber-stamped the entry of Muslims (radical or not) throughout the West, in spite of all the warnings. And scoffed at *racist profiling* (which was not racist) instead of making it a strict policy of national security. They allowed thousands of radical mosques to be built and to flourish also, making them hotbeds of jihadists.

Then the Bushes and their successors sent soldiers into harm's way into the Middle East, instead of recognizing that Jihad was being fought within their borders and on their streets, not thousands of miles away. That migrant invasion was another aspect of Jihad taught in the Quran. Billions of dollars and thousands of lives were lost for nothing.

'The 9/11 Commission Report stated that "the 9/11 attacks were a shock, but they should not have come as a surprise. Islamic extremists had given plenty of warnings that they meant to kill Americans indiscriminately and in large numbers." During the spring and summer of 2001, US intelligence agencies received a stream of warnings about an imminent al-Qaeda attack; according to George Tenet, Director of Central Intelligence, "the system was blinking red." The warnings varied in their level of detail and specificity, and included warnings from both domestic intelligence operations and warnings from foreign governments and intelligence agencies.'
