Saudi Arabia has 'clear link' to UK extremism, report says
BBC News ^ | 7/5/2017 | BBC

Saudi Arabia is the chief promoter of Islamist extremism in the UK, a new report has claimed.

The Henry Jackson Society said there was a "clear and growing link" between Islamist organizations in receipt of overseas funds, hate preachers and Jihadist groups promoting violence.

The foreign affairs think tank called for a public inquiry into the role of Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations..........

I wanted to get this posted before it gets scrubbed.

This is the truth that no one dare speak but should have been spoken a long time ago, especially on 9/11.

But economics and money comes first and always puts fighting terrorism at its source on the back burner.

In Syria today the Saudi supported Wahabbi forces of Al-Qaeda fight the Syrian government with the USA demonizing the Syrians for defending themselves from the cousins of those who terrorized the USA on 9/11.

Its bad enough that our nation is forced by its financial weakness to do business with the Saudis as we learned from President Trump's visit there in May.

The UK sells weapons to the Saudis as well and needs their business.

But regardless, I see this report as a sliver of light in a sea of darkness.

I guess President Trump is going to get the money back selling them weapons and having them invest in our country?

Its no secret in the USA’s banking and business world that Saudi and Gulf Arab $$$$$$ is used to prop both up.

The Saudis have been ‘passing the buck’ to Qatar in recent weeks when it comes to blaming them for ‘sponsoring terrorism’ but there’s plenty of blood on House of Saud’s hands as well.

US Judge Rules Assad Helped Al-Qaeda Kill Americans

Syrian regime has also been ISIS’s biggest oil and gas customer.

Yes, the Saudis have clear link to extremism and part of that is there charity is building Mosques, this should be outlawed everywhere.

Iran 911 judgement: http://www.iran911case.com/

Everyone knows, Assad allowed Jihadists to kill American forces from camps and planning in Syria.

What a load to hear the usual iran/russian/assad point of view. Syria has been designated a terrorist sponsor since 1979; and most refugees are fleeing Assad, so it is our business.

It’s not extremism. They are being true to their religion, following the example of its violent founder Mohamed.

Summer vacation for the regulars or someone planning to retire tomorrow.

But the story mentions that the British government commissioned its own report on the matter a few years ago and nothing has been released to the public yet.

The results are probably bad for business with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE etc. etc.

The Saudis have stepped in to do what the Soviets used to, and the support that they give to extremists is in large measure coerced. Even so, they are hated by Wahhabists for their relations with the West, as well as drinking and whoring binges when they are abroad. How to end Saudi support of terrorism? Perhaps thru meddling in their internal affairs? Seduce them into dropping the Wahhabists with promises of covert support against terror when said Wahhabists turn on them?
