You seem to be defending Saudi Arabia a lot. Al Qaeda has nothing to do with Iran, Zawahiri even went as far as to declare war on Shiites saying they are the enemy just as much as we and Israel are. In Syria, they have been destroying and targeting Shiite holy sites as well as churches, in Iraq they have been bombing Shiite mosques, in Pakistan they have been attacking Shiite pilgrims.

So to simplify, their leader is vehemently against iran and Shiite islam, their actions are to openly target Shiites for being Shiite. Iran has militias in Syria fighting al Qaeda. Given these facts, your conclusion is that Iran is backing al Qaeda?
I can’t possibly believe that you are being genuine. Either you are a Sunni muslim, or a troll, or rather ignorant.

I recognize what you have said and acknowledge it was true sometime back. My belief now is that there might be some convergence in order to achieve the power over the current rulers. The fact is, I do not know that to be true or totally untrue.

I do know that the wrap of secrecy on the coalition attempting to end the Assad regime has come off. The coalition is attacking Syria to end the mischief perpetrated for Iran.

There is a belief here that Saudi Arabia is AQ. I do not believe that based on dealing with Saudis that have no interest in the radical path. If I were to accuse several here of being abortionists or gun haters or taxers it would seen ridiculous. But that is precisely the mind set of many. They attribute the thoughts and actions of a portion of the Saudi population to the whole and then extrapolate that to all of Islam. It is shallow.
