The Saudi Arabian hostage standoff has ended. If you're keeping score, the Saudi government and the terrorists disagree on the particulars. A website linked to the terrorists claims that most of the kidnappers escaped and, "The holy warriors didn't leave any of the hostages alive. All those infidels and Crusaders who were in their hands were liquidated." The Saudis say that they killed the terrorists and that only as many as sixteen hostages died in the standoff and rescue.

While the results of the assault are in dispute, the radical Islamists' intentions are clear. The terrorists allegedly told one man living in the compound, "We only want to hurt Westerners and Americans. Can you tell us where we can find them here?" Another explained: "They said, 'You are American,' and I told them I am an American Muslim. They said, 'We do not kill Muslims.'" In addition to being killers, the terrorists are liars too. Several Muslims, including a ten-year-old Egyptian boy, were killed in the raid.
