not a scientific poll.

Don't forget that ISIS use sockpuppets and other techniques to magnify their reach. Look up the "Sybil" effect.

4. Bomb Saudi Arabia FIRST

If we are going to fight radical fundamentalist Islam, then fight it at its source: Bomb Saudi Arabia First.

ISIS is a Saudi creation; Saudi Arabia is ISIS's inspiration.

Bomb Riyadh. Take out the source of the problem, the Saudi royal family.

Bomb Riyadh, site of weekly beheadings.

Bomb Riyadh, the source of ISIS funding. The source of salafism (fundamentalist Islam) and the money spreading this cancer all over the world.

The Saudis fund the radical mosques worldwide that create jihadists, including in the UK. The Saudis fund the madrassas that create radical Sunnis. The Saudi culture is the same cruel, barbaric culture that ISIS imposes.

If the US must go back to war in the mideast, at least bomb the correct people this time. It's utterly pointless to bomb the creations of the Saudis, while leaving the Saudis in place with their oil billions and toxic ideology to create the next Sunni terrorist force.


From The Atlantic :
" Qatar’s military and economic largesse has made its way to Jabhat al-Nusra, to the point that a senior Qatari official told me he can identify al-Nusra commanders by the blocks they control in various Syrian cities. But ISIS is another matter. As one senior Qatari official stated, “ISIS has been a Saudi project.”

The World Trade Center and pentagon were Saudi. Can someone explain how these murderous sub humans are supposedly our friends.

which makes many one-percenters obscene amounts of MONEY. What's a few beheadings and stone-age religious lunacy when there is that much MONEY (take your hat off in the presence of that word) to be made.

But the fact they are celebrating their sons as ISIS martyrs is rather telling...

as they might just flip over and attack them instead. Same sect, same beliefs. Saudi beheads regularly, for the same reasons IS does. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see them start a civil war in Saudi, and win.
