ISIS Is A Culture - Exported And Promoted By The Saudis

The Saudis pay for the brainwashing of the Islamists.

From the article: "Since ISIS is first and foremost a culture, not a militia, how do you prevent future generations from turning to jihadism when the influence of Fatwa Valley and its clerics and its culture and its immense editorial industry remains intact?"

And: "One has to live in the Muslim world to understand the immense transformative influence of religious television channels on society by accessing its weak links: households, women, rural areas. Islamist culture is widespread in many countries — Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Mali, Mauritania. There are thousands of Islamist newspapers and clergies that impose a unitary vision of the world"

And you wonder why "they" want to kill us.

Since "the west" opposes Muslims running the world, we need to be killed.

That is what they believe.

This is what they promote.

Thousands are buying it.

No one is talking about it.

I don't disagree but that is also what we (US) promotes.

No organization has done more to create and promote ISIS and extremism amongst muslims than the US.

Were it not for the last administration there would be no national ISIS threat.

History has taught us nothing... Osama Bin Laden and Al Queda were funded, trained, and armed by the US... US intervention in the middle east has a track record ... our leadership and military seems to disregard history.
