TYT: Why America Funded Wahhabism In The Eighties

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Much of the middle-east was once more secular. What changed? Cenk Uygur, hosts of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Wahhabism, a messianic radicalism that arose in the 18th century, hopes to restore a fantasized caliphate centered on a desert, a sacred book, and two holy sites, Mecca and Medina. Born in massacre and blood, it manifests itself in a surreal relationship with women, a prohibition against non-Muslims treading on sacred territory, and ferocious religious laws. That translates into an obsessive hatred of imagery and representation and therefore art, but also of the body, nakedness and freedom. Saudi Arabia is a Daesh that has made it.

The West’s denial regarding Saudi Arabia is striking: It salutes the theocracy as its ally but pretends not to notice that it is the world’s chief ideological sponsor of Islamist culture. The younger generations of radicals in the so-called Arab world were not born jihadists. They were suckled in the bosom of Fatwa Valley, a kind of Islamist Vatican with a vast industry that produces theologians, religious laws, books, and aggressive editorial policies and media campaigns.”*

1. Western and Middle Eastern greedy Robber Barons in the Middle East and North Africa.

Sorry to have to use a Right Wing site, but the fascists really tell how proud they are of themselves for destroying the people of the Middle East over their greed. Teddy Roosevelt put a stop to a lot of the capitalists greed bastards here in the US.

Reagan just ignored Trust and Monopoly Laws and got away with it.

Obama called for drilling on all federal leases or lose the leases. We do not need to be in the Middle East now as we have our own oil, gas, wind and need to get started on solar. A NeoCon President would put us back in war.

2. The New World was the scene of missions, missionaries and mapping from those of the Old World.

First came religious outposts, then pillage, theft of land and minerals, and killing. So far, bombing has been designed to take out the pillagers, thieves and killers. Will taking out of the religious outposts begin to get rid of the theocracy of jihadism?

It would be against the Global Corporatist Industrial Complex for the CIA to take out the religious imposts. There is no religious nationalism in Russia to keep from bombing, let's say a religious outpost in Turkey. One that feeds ISIL.
