Peddlers of Evil
Very few Americans seem to understand that Fundamentalist Muslim terrorists now threaten to destroy not only the United States but all of Western Civilization, and even fewer seem to be aware that the source of this threat is Saudi Arabia. It is almost never mentioned in the Liberal dominated news media that the Saudis have not only bankrolled these Fundamentalist Islamic terrorists, but they have also provided the bulk of its foot soldiers, leadership cadres, Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida network, and Saudis have now bankrolled ISIS.
For over forty years, the Saudis have sent out their Fundamentalist Muslim missionaries to spread their Wahabi sect of Fundamentalist Islam throughout the Mid East and around the world. In every country with Muslim populations, Saudi Madrassas (boarding schools/orphanages) have been constructed and staffed with Islamic Fundamentalist hate mongers. These Madrassas have provided a free education to any male Muslim child (females receive no education in the Muslim world) who wished to attend. In addition to a basic education, Saudi Madrassas have indoctrinated their pupils in Fundamentalist Wahabi Islam that taught them to hate all infidels (non-believers), especially the United States and Israel. These Muslim students have been taught from childhood that it is their Gods will that they endeavor to either kill or convert to Islam anyone who does not worship their God, and if they should die while obeying this edict, they will go to Heaven.
Like Arab rug merchants, Saudi hate-mongers have peddled their evil brand of Islam from the Balkans to Chechnya, Algeria, Pakistan, and Indonesia. Every place they have set up their Madrassas and indoctrinated their followers with Fundamentalist Islam, Muslims have begun to murder their non-Muslim neighbors. It is from these Saudi Madrassas that most Muslim terrorists and suicide (homicide) bombers have been recruited, and it was from these same Madrassas that the September 11 attackers came. But not for Saudi funding, these mad men would still be in their desert hovels, abusing their women, loving their livestock, and worshiping a God who has more in common with the Satan as found in Judeo-Christianity than he does with Jesus Father.
There are only two possible options the civilized world has in dealing with these people and diplomacy is not one of them.
.
1. The United States and our allies could seize the Saudi oil fields and freeze Saudi international assets, thereby cutting off Saudi funding of Islamic terrorists.
2. The United States and our allies could do nothing, and just let the situation play its self out.
The first option will never happen. With half the U.S. population and half our government made up of I wont fight and you cant make me Liberal Democrats, no U.S. President could ever get congressional approval for such action and the Saudis know it. This leaves the United States, the most powerful nation in the world, impotent and unable to counter an aggressive, fanatical, well armed and well financed enemy that is determined to destroy us. Option two, to do nothing, is what we will inevitably do, and this option has the potential of being the most catastrophic option of all.
I agree with you that the Saudis are the root of the problem, but think that there is a wider range of things that we could do.
The oil business has been transformed by technology (fracking), and more technical disruption is likely to come.
Sustained $100/barrel oil looks like a thing of the past, and Saudi Arabia is running a budget deficit, despite big cuts. They are more suseptible to economic and security pressure now than they have been for a long time. Provide carrots and sticks to change their behavior - hold them accountable for the results of their actions.
We could root out a lot of their infrastructure in West with law enforcement, if we were simply committed to do so.
We could launch a concerted information war internationally to discredit the Wahabbi ideology. Support opponents who contradict their theology, expose their scandals, and publicly humiliate them for their logical and moral failings. Ostracize them. Run a program to exclude them from academic, economic, or social organizations. Boycott them and officially discriminate against their adherents.
