Latest Saudi controversy:
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is against Wahhabism aka radical Islam. That’s the key point to understand.
Don’t forget that bin Laden tried to drive the Saudis into becoming a terror state. They fought him to the death on that.
Quick History lesson:
The Saudis’ ancestors were allies of the UK. They gained power through denouncing the earlier dynasty as too westernized. And the UK fell for their tricks despite the strident objections of Lawrence of Arabia [the most brilliant Middle East geopolitical strategist of his day].
Now the Saudis are seeking to be modern [it took us a long time to get them there] and Rubio is falling for the new anti-western movement which could place ISIS on the Saudi throne or something similar.
The bottom line is that the Saudis are trying to drag a bunch of terrorist-wannabes kicking and screaming into civilization against their will.
I say more power to them!
Members of the Muslim Brotherhood are evil. Too bad the creep got tortured, but that’s the kind of thing his side wants to do on a mass scale in the name of jihad.
