11 Year Old Child Bride Speaks Out Before Being Killed
 

The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia and the President of Indonesia are uncomfortable with their heritage as presented on videos of beheadings and child-rapes live on the world's computer monitors. 

In the unlikely event that they were serious about their discomfort, what would it take to defund the Islamic State? 

It controls oil production facilities capable of supplying it with the equivalent of $3 million daily.  

That is a hard asset, easiest to deprive them of. 

The softer asset of the bank notes they stole might be more difficult to deprive them of. 

What currencies did they steal? 

If they were specie of major international currencies, it could be difficult. 

If they were currencies of a smaller country, might it be simply a matter of devaluing or invalidating the stolen currencies?

Step #1 could be the United States not sending them any more money.

The Emir in Washington is not interested in defunding his people.

Middle Eastern countries need to be entirely deprived of outside income. That income is what funds Jihad, no matter how it is derived.The Moslems who sell the oil and to whom we give great amounts of free money are MOSLEMS. ALL money above what is necessary to maintain a tiny, maybe .5%, in opulence goes to Jihad. It is and was always thus. That is the core of Mohammedan belief. Jihad is not extremism within Islam. Jihad IS basic to Islam. It’s in the Book. In previous eras Jihad was financed by piracy and conquest. Since WWII it has been finance willingly by Western Welfare and oil money. Islamic societies cannot produce any surplus for Jihad or anything else because of the nature of the system. All the resources for the endless war against everyone else comes from outside, from us.
