Under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia has adopted a reform agenda that is moving away from a strict interpretation of Islam. So have most of the Gulf countries.

Dude -- The U.S. has spent hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of lives installing and protecting governments across the Middle East where Islam is literally established as the official state religion.

If the U.S. had any interest in fighting radical Islam, we would have been on the same side as Saddam Hussein, Bashar al-Assad, and Muammar Gaddafi for decades.

We are fighting radical Islam in Iran because Islam there has a demonstrated interest in destroying us.

If we don't start developing a clear strategy about how to deal with this problem around the world and at home, we will end up like the UK and the EU.
