Saudi Arabia: The Root of Islamic Terrorism
This is from a post at Anonymous Is A Woman.
In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is one of our staunchest allies. And President Bush and the entire Bush family have enjoyed close personal relationships with the Saudi royal family.
The problem with this is that the Saudis are the major exporters of Sunni terrorism. Fifteen of the nineteen hijackers on September 11th were Saudis. And the Saudi clerics have aggressively proselytized the rest of the Middle East with their puritanical anti-Western brand of Wahabbiism. In fact, the madrassas, the Muslim religious schools from which most of the young Islamic radicals spring, is funded and staffed by Saudi clerics and their supporters. I’ve long said that if you really want to fight Islamic terrorism, you have to go to its heart and soul, which is Saudi Arabia, not Iraq.
Anybody who tells you differently doesn’t understand the Muslim world or Islamic religion.
Now comes a disturbing story that highlights how extreme and puritanical the religious faith of the Saudi Wabbiists is.
