The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

The KSA should have ceased to exist on 9/12/2001.

Ah Good

Now that they have a significant number of their fighters inside the gates, the intimidation begins

Why, one day after 9/11, wasn’t Saudi Arabia all glass?

Not too long ago, this would have been an "Onion" article or a nice attempt at satire...

Saudi Arabia is going down, probably soon.
It won’t be the US. Most likely it will be Iran (Persia0.

Had a very smart boss a few years ago that said, the Jews had their reformation, the Christians had theirs, when Islams has theirs it will be a very long bloody affair.

Islam is incapable of reform. Other religions reformed practices, not fundamental doctrines. Islam’s fundamental doctrines are wrong.

16 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis.

Most of the financing for jihad worldwide comes from there.

The royal family has sown the seeds of their own destruction.

Jihad will come back to bite them.

They’ve created something they can no longer control.

The real question is will the west stop the self delusion about Islam?

No, Iran still beats any other country for funding Islamic terrorism.

Take note that Obama isn’t trying to nuke up Saudi Arabia, but Iran. That would guarantee WW3.

Depends on what was meant by “reformation”. When it comes to Judaism, it led to an awful level of liberalism.

What happens if Russia surrounds Israel, in that case?

That’s a good one. That’s tag line material. I’d use it myself if I didn’t already have a better one.

There are rumors that the Saudis already have a deal worked out with Pakistan for nukes.

Only if we are extremely lucky or blessed does the Shiite/Sunni split get resolved with both of them wiping each other out.

Now that Obama has provided Iran with $150 billion, Iran will be funding jihad at record levels.

“Why, one day after 9/11, wasn’t Saudi Arabia all glass?”

Because the District of Columbia is a client state of Saudi Arabia.

It’s pretty hard to distort the true nature of evil.
