Merkel Deputy Lashes Out At Saudi Funding Of Militant Mosques

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel (pictured) urged Saudi Arabia on Sunday to stop supporting religious radicals amid growing concern among some lawmakers in Berlin about the funding of militant mosques by the world's biggest oil exporter.

The unusual criticism of the Gulf state follows a report by Germany's foreign intelligence agency which suggested that Saudi foreign policy was becoming more "impulsive".

The German government rebuked the BND agency for making such suggestions about Saudi Arabia, an important business partner which is involved in international talks to find a political solution to the Syria crisis.

"We need Saudia Arabia to solve the regional conflicts," Sigmar Gabriel, head of the Social Democrats (SPD) who share power with conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel, told the mass-circulation Bild am Sonntag.

"But we must at the same time make clear that the time to look away is past. Wahhabi mosques are financed all over the world by Saudi Arabia. In Germany, many dangerous Islamists come from these communities," he said.

Saudi Arabia follows the ultra-conservative Wahhabi form of Islam and is seen by some outsiders as a cause of the international jihadist threat.

Now they lash out. This has been going on for years — decades. And Germany — or at least some people in Germany — are finally waking up.

It's time to take out Saudi Arabia and divide it up among the members of the UN Security Council.

Saudi Arabia would collapse faster than Iraq's army in 1990 (First Gulf War).

In a twist of an old proverb;

It’s a little late to shut the doors of the hen house when the foxes are already inside.

Not just Germany. Wahhabism, the predominant Islamic sect in Saudi Arabia, is probably the most missionary of all Islamic sects and heavily invested in spreading Wahhabism. The Saudi government/kingdom has the money to support the export of Wahhabism worldwide and, given the lack of popularity of the Saudi monarchy/royal family, the kingdom would much rather see Wahhabism flourish elsewhere; it’s the kingdom’s own form of Dhimmitude, which allows it to exist - at least for now.

Hey Germans...it’s just another part of the Muslim colonization of your homeland. They want it to become THEIR homeland. And they’ll succeed unless you make some serious changes.

The colonization wouldn’t be possible without the Saudis buying off the European leadership, with the west’s own petrodollars.

I still haven’t figured out why God gave these people so much of our oil.

It’s time for us to kick Saudi Arabia to the curb, too.
