Iran is the biggest problem.
But they are on the Shi’ite side. Which does not explain al Queda, ISIS, and the whole majority of militant islamism. What is the driving force behind the rise in militant SUNNI Islamic fundamentalism?
They are competing against the non-arab Persians and the Shi'a. When did militant Islamic fundamentalism start in recent history? Check the year 1979. The mullahs humiliated the US holding our people hostage for 444 days. Our embassy was overrun twice after Khomeini came in. Who funded Hezbollah? Who blew up Khobar Towers? Who blew up the Marine and French Barracks in Beirut using suicide bombers?
What is the driving force behind the rise in militant SUNNI Islamic fundamentalism?
The same force that animates Shi'a fundamentalism. It is radical Islam that is the problem. It really doesn't matter whether it is Boko Haram, ISIS, AQ, Abu Sayyaf, Quds Force, the Haqqani Network, Kataib Hezbollah, or the many other Muslim terrorist groups around the globe. Trying to blame individual countries misses the point. It is like singling out individual families in the Mafia.
Well, you seem to have some sort of loyalty to Saudis or wahabbis, that makes you willing to bend over backwards (intellectually speaking) as an apologist, and deny their role in spreading and supporting militant Sunni extremism.
I don’t believe that you will be objective about that. Perhaps you were posted to the embassy there, drank the kool aid, and “went local”, or internalized the habitual self censorship required there. For whatever reason, you seem committed to ignoring the subtle indicators, as well as the glaring mountains of facts, that all these Sunni jihadis are wahabbi trained, and following wahabbi doctrines, except for agreeing on who is in charge. Wahabbism is militant sunni islamic fundamentalism.
You say that trying to blame individual countries misses the point - IRAN that is to blame.
You say that militant islamic fundamentalism only sprang up in the modern era after the Iranian revolution in 1979, and attempt to conflate all islamic militancy to shi’ite Iran. But I recall that the Wahabbi Ikhwan was murdering foreigners on sight back in the time of Abdul Aziz, that wahabbis slaughtered Shia by the thousands (man, woman and child) during the plunder of Karbala a century earlier, and that the Muslim Brotherhood led the muslim Handschar Divisions of the SS, while lobbying Hitler to adopt a genocidal final solution to the Jewish problem. The hundreds of wahabbis who attacked the grand mosque in Mecca in 1979 were not Iranian surrogates either.
Wahabbism must be refuted, discredited and bankrupted.
