A Dark Age religion, isn’t it?
And they “want” to go back to the Dungeons and Dragons and Infidels and Camels and Tents and Swords of the 7th century?
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step, and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it (Islam) has vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
Things are NOT actually “out of control.” The Bible states a well-established doctrine (regarding the character and power of God) in that ALL THINGS are under his control - whether permitted or by his active will - so that NOTHING is outside the control of God.
The real question here is, as we look at this Muslims “going wild” with their god “Allah” ... is ... Whose God is really in comtrol, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob - or - the God of Ishmael and Mohammed?
The answer to that question, comes out in the end as to whether ... ALL MUSLIMS are killed - or - ALL JEWS are killed.
Christians believe its the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who is the true God, and thus its ALL MUSLIMS who will be killed, as a result.
Follow the bucks. Recruiting, training, equipping, paying and deploying a fighting force with all the support necessary costs a fortune. The Saudis are financing these “Islamists” Post bin Laden al Queda is a Saudi financed Sunni international fighting force. They are deployed in Syria and Iraq fighting to create an Arabic speaking Sunni confederation composed of large parts of Syria and Iraq to confront Iran.

SAUDI ARABIAN AMERICAN OIL COMPANY = a marriage made in heaven in the oil and natural gas fields.
"ARAMCO" comes from putting ARABIAN and AMERICAN and COMPANY together in one word.
From Google: Aramco, in full: Arabian American Oil Company, founded by the Standard Oil Co. of California (Chevron) in 1933, when the government of Saudi Arabia granted it a concession. Other U.S. companies [EXXON, FLYING A, SHELL (Royal DUTCH Shell)] joined after oil was found near Dhahran in 1938.
In 1950 Aramco opened a pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the Mediterranean Sea port of Sidon, Lebanon.
It was closed in 1983 except to supply a refinery in Jordan. A more successful pipeline, with a destination on the Persian Gulf, was finished in 1981.
In 1951 Aramco found the first offshore oil field in the Middle East. In the 1970s and 80s, control gradually passed to the Saudi Arabian government, which eventually took over Aramco and renamed it Saudi Aramco in 1988.
=========================
The KING of Saudi Arabia personally owns all the petroleum and natural gas (that invariable comes up with the petroleum) and it stays with him, else the richer, more powerful Saudi families would fight over it.
In 1982 the King BOUGHT back the U.S. rights to all the petroleum and natural gas. He owns it all NOW.
HAH, he probably paid for it out of his pocket change.
By 1985 (when we left there) the King was taking in US$1 billion EVERY two and a half days.
YIKES!!
Surprising honesty from the press.
