Art Therapy will stop terrorism
Fox has set the bar lower on ludicrousness. They are bombarding the airwaves with a ridiculous story that the Saudis are rehabilitating terrorists in halfway houses that re-aligns their thinking....using Art Therapy.

Nice try Saudis and Fox...but the American people are WAAAY past believing crap like this. At least those Americans who actually are able to think for themselves...who are the vast majority of the Americans.

We know that Fox is the propaganda mouthpiece of the asses of evil...question is...How do we stop them?

1. That's a bizarre story
First of all, the American Right Wing reading that terrorists are being rehabilitated using art therapy are going to be 100 times more suspicious and disdainful than even us. Frankly I'd expect Fox New's take to be "Liberals want Terrorists to fingerpaint, while Republicans want to eliminate those who seek to harm your children."

2. you got that right
I'm surprised the story is spinning that way. They must have something up their sleeves.

Actually, what does work in combating terrists is getting laid.

Weaving warfare
Sara Wykes, Special to the Mercury News
Article Launched: 08/22/2007 01:32:30 AM PDT

Despite their unusual content, Afghan war rugs still have elements that reflect age-old traditions. This rug's background is a crimson red with fluctuations in the dye and simple borders that identify it as made by a Turkmen woman. The Turkmen once shared a common language, but now live in several tribal groups across Iran, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan.
...
Some of the exhibit's war rugs were commissioned by Russian soldiers, others were made in protest. The skill is evident in all, as is the underlying message that the women who made them live in a world far different from the time when such rugs were filled with images of things that couldn't hurt anyone.

(The weapons are analyzed in the article)
