Intel report: Saudis bankrolling extremism
'We must acknowledge the West's understanding of what constitutes an 'ally' fundamentally different'
Published: 10 hours ago


While the establishment media and some elected officials are sounding the alarm about supposed Russian interference in the U.S. election, experts say a more dangerous foreign meddler is being ignored – American “ally” Saudi Arabia.

A recent report from German intelligence indicates Saudi Arabia is funding the growth of the fundamentalist Salafist form of Islam.

Along with fellow Muslim states Kuwait and Qatar, Saudi Arabia is accused of being behind a “long-running strategy to exert influence” through supposed Islamic charitable networks.

Philip Haney, author of “See Something, Say Nothing” and a former Department of Homeland Security analyst who tracked Islamic radicalism, says the report is no surprise.

United Arab Emirates not on the list, they seem decent.

Qatar is real shady, I'd like to know more about how much Kuwait is involved.

Stating the obvious; we should have nothing to do with any country funding such terrorism.

What the heck, that in the past week, ISIS took a toll against the Turkish army and maintains Palmyra against the Syrian army supported by Russian bombing. ISIS seems a bit more than ragtag.

Some stories out of Syria aren't to be believed at all; I think per battle reports.
