I should have read the entire article before posting the first response.
ISIS is NOT funded by SA. Their money comes from the cash they stole from Iraq (some $500MM). It also comes from selling oil from captured fields in northern Iraq.
Whomever wrote this story should do a little homework.
Would you agree qatar royals are funding isis?
Saudi is also a major source of support for ISIS. Since the latest offensive in Iraq, hashtags translating to #TheAgeOfTheISISConquest and #ABillionMuslimsForTheVictoryOfTheIsis have overwhelming been originating from Saudi Arabia. Almost 95 percent of all mentions of the latter hashtag emanated from Saudi Arabia over the last week, by far eclipsing those from Iraq and Syria, where the ISIS is actually operating at present. The geographic distribution of those mentions covers the entire Saudi Arabian territory.
Saudi support for the ISIS traces back to the conflict in Syria. Approximately 1,000 and 2,000 Saudi nationals have been involved in fighting inside Syria, with several hundreds believed to have already returned home. The Saudi government in February issued a royal decree banning Saudis from fighting in foreign conflicts. Both the Syrian and Iranian governments have drawn attention to purported financial links between ISIS and Saudi Arabia in recent weeks. Syrian state media directly accused Saudi Arabia of funding ISIS in an editorial on June 12, while the Iranian leader President Hassan Rouhani made a thinly veiled reference to “Muslim countries that support the terrorists with their petrodollars” in remarks on the website of the Iranian state broadcaster in recent days.
...ISIS already maintains a presence in the country and even has sympathizers in the Saudi military

...actually ISIS is receiving about $1 billion a month at the moment - from various sources, being stolen or donations from individuals up to Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, etc...there are a ton of Sunni’s that want these guys to go in and erase Maliki, the Al Quds Force in Baghdad and then turn on Iran and smash them to unite Afghanistan with a total Sunni Caliphate...so, yes - they are well funded group of action involved maniacs!
