[Saudi Arabia’s theology inspired Al-Qaeda the movement which is something greater than Al-Qaeda the organization.

In Syria and other places the movement inspired by Saudi theology lives on and the USA should not be involved in supporting the jihadists of Saudi Arabia like in Syria.]


The Saudi royals have been around a couple of hundred years. Islam has been around 1400 years. Long before the Saudi royals were an itch in some bedraggled Bedouin’s man dress, Islam was expanding around the world. It wasn’t Saudis who defeated the Persians and the Byzantines. It wasn’t Saudis who conquered Spain and renamed it al Andalus. And it wasn’t certainly wasn’t Saudis who fought Charles Martel at Tours. Muslims don’t kiss the behinds of the Saudi royalty - they criticize it for not standing up to, and being a lackey of the West.

The great debate in the West should be about who is the lackey of who?

Saudi money seems to equal deference to Islam in the minds of many.

One of the most disturbing videos I saw was of my President sword dancing with the Saudi royals in 2017 and taking their money to invest in this country.

We have to deal with the Saudis in our lifetime.

Richard Wellen - 2016
As such, 1979 didn’t just mark the year when the export of the “Islamic Revolution” began … [it] was also when Saudi Arabia began planting the seeds of Sunni extremism, the bitter fruits of which are still being harvested today in the lawless valleys of Pakistan, in Raqqa, the capital of Islamic State, and also in the West, in the heads of confused young men. And in the kingdom itself: Now, Sunni extremism is even threatening the country where it was once spawned.
