The following are excerpts from an interview with former Kuwaiti minister Ahmad Al-Rube'i:

Al-Rube'i: Like what unfortunately happened to us in the so-called Afghan Jihad, which ended in disaster with the return of the Afghani Arabs to their own countries, which they began to destroy in Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, and some of the other Arab countries. It now seems that some people are repeating this bitter experience and seducing these young people with false Islamic legal rulings. Those same people make these rulings public on the Arab TV stations and live in comfort and luxury. Their children study at the best universities in the US and the West and they send the sons of the poor and wretched to Falluja and other places.
