Yeah absolutely, but the doco argues they aren't doing it to create some parallel of Catholicism, but rather as a way to appease the extremists who could have toppled them from power 50 years ago. The trouble is, those schools have now created a load of brainwashed idiots who are now causing trouble.
- DominikR 10y agoIt is one thing if you spread internally crazy ideologies or if you spend considerable resources to go out there and try to subvert every society you possibly can. Saudi education literally teaches children that they must wage jihad against the infidels (to spread their faith) and that's after 9/11 when they supposedly reviewed their textbooks for children to remove all texts that might spread hate. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/19/AR2006051901769.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05... I say if that's the only way the Saud family can hold onto power then it's not worth supporting them. These guys have done more to make Islam look bad than anyone else in the last decades combined.
- woodpanel 10y agoWhy I oppose this view completely (please don't take this personally, I mean what the movie conveys) apart from leaving out the question of Arabian Nationality: You don't need to spread Wahabism globally to quite some local clerics in your country. But the latter is what the Saudis spent much effort in. For decades they've flown in Clerics or Soon-To-Be-Clerics from countries all over the world, putting them in their religous universities for some years and then sending them back as a measure to spread radicalism into other countries. Boko Haram is direct descendent of this policy.
