In reply to the discussion: Saudi court sentences poet to death for renouncing Islam [View all]plus5mace
(140 posts)51. The Saudis are the worst Muslims on the planet.
And our allies. The ultra hateful branch of Islam known as Wahhabism or Salafism originates in this country and their government spends billions spreading it across the globe. Their elite openly back and fund ISIS and the government at best turns a blind eye to it.
Any talk of a war on terrorism is absolute horseshit if it doesn't start with addressing the Saudi situation. I will never support any middle east war so long as the financiers aren't brought to justice.
