And just what country did radical Islam spring from

[guno]

And what country gave birth to this monstrous creed?

Any guesses?

If you said Saudi Arabia you are correct

So how come we support them? Remember the hijackers on 9-11 were educated and were from Saudi


The Saudi kingdom’s inseparability from the Wahhabi form of Sunni Islam, first espoused in 1744 and the fundamental creed of Saudi Arabia since its modern founding in 1932, has ensured that fundamentalism shapes domestic and foreign policies. Saudi Arabia is not the only source of resources for jihadism—public and private entities in Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and more recently Turkey have also been linked to collection and transfer of funds supporting terror groups. But the Saudis have been the most persistent source of support for global jihad by spreading Wahhabism abroad to radicalize foreign Muslims and then giving financial support to their violent struggles in countries as far-flung as Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya.

Oil.

I know, I know. Ignorant leftists are often wont to say, "it's all about oil," when it's not actually about oil. But in this case, we have supported the Saudi's because they have done everything we asked with their ocean of oil, when nobody else would.

Now, ironically, we have more proven reserves than they do. Whoooda thunkit?

Your analysis ignores a whole branch of radical islam, i.e. Shia radical islam, which has no relation to the Saudis or radical sunni islam.

i'm ignorant ? LOL

Your buddy bush was best friends with them , made sure the bin laden family got safe passage out of America within a day of the attacks on 9-11

Read some history goober, the tie ins with bushes family and standard oil and the Saudis.

When W. froze assets connected to Osama bin Laden, he didn't tell the American people that the terrorist mastermind's late brother was an investor in the president's former oil business in Texas. He also hasn't leveled with the American public about his financial connections to a host of shady Saudi characters involved in drug cartels, gun smuggling, and terrorist networks.

shia has become more radicalized in response to Wahhabism



What is Wahhabism? The reactionary branch of Islam said to be 'the main source of global terrorism'

Actually radical Shia was around far longer, as said radicalization was in response to Shia's position as the smaller of the two main sects of Islam.
