Fascinating information. I’m beginning to think there’s not a thing the Saudis touch that doesn’t somehow contribute to AQ. But they’re very, very clever.
One thing we should remember is that the Arabs are the ones who regard themselves as Mad Mo’s true spiritual heirs, as well as his physical ones, since he was an Arab (and not a Persian, for example) and modern Saudi Arabia contains the Islamic founding sites. In many ways, the Pakis, Southeast Asians, Africans and even the Iranians are just doing the bidding of Saudi Arabia and at some point, once the Arabs have gotten as much mileage out of these people as they can in their project to extend Islam throughout the globe, they will simply take them over, too. Or try to. It may come down to a struggle between Iran and Saudi Arabia to assume dominance in the Islamic world.
In the meantime, they are carrying out their dirty work indirectly with their fantastic oil wealth. I read in the Spanish press yesterday that of the eleven huge mosques that have just been built or are under construction in various parts of Spain, nine are directly funded by the Saudi government.
