You should read up a little on Wahhabism Lew.
Our good friends the Saudi's are spreading this ideology around the globe.
So in other words when we do business with Saudi Arabia we are doing business with the people who fund The Taliban, ISIS etc etc.
Then we send our soldiers off to fight and die fighting those we have created or funded.
Chopping off a few heads in Jordan. Oh yeah that'll sort of em all out - eh?
That's a bit like saying America funded the IRA. Its probably true that some funding came from within America.
At the end of that article you will find this.
In a number of articles in June we made reference to funding for the terrorist organisation Isis having been channelled to the group from Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Embassy has asked us to make clear that the position of the Saudi Arabian government is unequivocal condemnation of the actions of Isis and its members and that the Kingdom has taken positive action to discourage any private funding or support for Isis or other extremists by Saudi citizens for ISIS. Since March 2014 the Saudi government has blacklisted religious extremist groups in the Kingdom, criminalising affiliation to, or participation in the activities of, organisations such as Isis. (Statement added 23/9/14)
Now whether you believe that is another matter. Have they prosecuted anyone?
ps No sanctions against Saudi Arabia. If they were totally behind IS do you think everyone would still trade with them?
