Containing the scourge of Islamist terror will be impossible without containing the ideology that drives it: Wahhabism, a messianic, jihad-extolling form of Sunni fundamentalism whose international expansion has been bankrolled by oil-rich sheikhdoms, especially Saudi Arabia.

this is true, and the guy makes another great point:

This speaks to the main shortcoming of today’s militarized approach to fighting terrorism. Unless the expansion of dangerous ideologies like Wahhabism is stopped, the global war on terror, now almost a generation old, will never be won. No matter how many bombs the US and its allies drop, the Saudi-financed madrassas will continue to indoctrinate tomorrow’s jihadists.

it's ridiculous to think islamic terrorism will end while we continue to fund it by sending money to saudi arabia every time we fill up the car.

“perverted interpretation of Islam,”

He should have said a correct interpretation of Islam.

If they added good beer to the mix, ISIS could advertize the jihad as 'the way life should be'

Just as the Founding Fathers of Islam intended.

At long last you are beginning to get it. If you free the people from Islam, they will civilize themselves in no time.
