Radical Islam will always go on doing its thing, as long as it has gas to burn. Curiously, the entire West is unwilling to go after the people pulling the strings of radical movements - those who give them money, holed up in so-called 'allies' of the West - Saudi Arabia, Qatar and more.
We will go on for decades killing grunts of Radical Islam, all while they take the lives of countless innocents, and not be one inch closer to ending with it. If we had put the sheiks and Imams funding Al Qaeda/ISIS/Hamas/Boko Haram/etc. in prison and frozen their assets, those movements would have died off years ago.
- trendroid 12y agoI am interested in finding out more on the funds provided to terrorists groups from Imams and Sheiks in Qatar and Saudi. Can you share some links(concrete evidence)that informed you about this hypothesis?
- _broody 12y agoI don't know the details myself, but it is a position shared by U.S. officials that Saudis are Al Qaeda's prime backers, though not stated officially (it was exposed by Bradley Manning's embassy cable leaks): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia%E2%80%93United_States_relations#Allegations_of_funding_terrorism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia%E2%80%93United_Sta... Similarly, it is known that Saudis are the prime backers behind Hamas. Most of their money comes from religious "charities": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas#Funding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas#Funding
