Brisard, a private intelligence analyst who once worked for the French conglomerate Vivendi, compiled a report in 1997 on the financing behind the al-Qaida network.
In this report he said:
"It's a political question for them. They have to support those religious fundamentalists because they are a large part of the regime of the kingdom and they need them to survive politically. Wahhabism, the Saudi form of Islam, is one of the harshest forms, and bin Laden is a product of his country."
There are many practices that the Wahhabis believe are contrary to Islam, such as:
* Listening to music or watching television
* Listening to radio
* Photographs or drawings of human beings or other living things which contain a soul.
It is true that these are extremist views, in the modern world but how does this equate to terrorism?
How believable is this and why?

The way I see it is that Osama was a Saudi citizen when he got very rich. He still has a lot of support and friends in Saudi Arabia. The USA is on friendly terms with the Saudi royal family to get cheaper oil. The CIA 'bunglers' are just all over the place.
The Saudis are promoting Wahhabism, which they believe came directly from God. This is believed to be the most extreme form of Islam.
The oil money from USA and all other countries is used to fund Wahhabism based Islamic activities in Pakistan, Afghanistan and all over the world. The money comes from supporters of al-Qaida/Osama as well as the Saudi supporters. This may indirectly be the royal family too via some of the princes.
The Wahhabism based Islamic activities in Pakistan & Afghanistan includes running of the madrassas and the terrorist training camps.
The terrorists trained there then operate all over the world including Britain.

I enjoyed your introduction in your profile! But why did you use the word "islamic" sir? I do not see Hindi films and really want to know if there had been ones, glorifying particular communal terror? There are terror glorification in Tamil and other films too, as people like such violence and mindless romance at first sights.. The film world has reasons to glorify all vices to which it is itself given to and which could be easily encashed among public who are eager for viewing such stuff.. Basically, it is easy to incite the animality in man than the salutary values.. They sell well. Don't you know how the bullies in urban areas make collections from business men in the market so easily? The film world has abundant black money that needs to be protected. They engage in cut throat competitions, more aggressively than the trade or political sectors. So they engage private security and keep criminals in good humour to protect from enemies. Criminals often have more direct links with politicians whom they 'serve' during elections etc. So they can also use the political link to subdue police, which is added advantage. ' So the film world - not just Bolly or Koli woods - thrive on all evils, albeit giving great stories on screens as if the extremism and criminalism are the only ways to gain justice in society. It serves them well, it sells well.

I dunno'. I surely don't trust anyone that labels me as "infidel" whoever he/she comes from and once I had a flat mate saudi move away from the place I walked on in the rain for some odd reason he said I was contaminating something. He also got me to throw away his rotten bread as I was an infidel and I could do it??
I hate anyone that wastes bread, regardless of his religion and this guy regularly asked me to dump his bread. He also left the tap running in the sink and never turned the lights off throughout the house. Also had heaters on full blast with open windows and went out to work. (bills were included in the rent) Hope they are not all like that, in fact I am SURE Saudis would ALL be green peace supporters and they donate muh cash to help fight whales getting extinct they are all very nice people who would all take you in were you wounded and in need.

Very unbelievable because it's just more reason for Americans to hate innocent Saudis.

It's unfair to generalise the Saudis. Only a minority who support or promote terrorism.
Peace-

Have they spoke out against terrorism? Ignoring the evil done is the same as condoning it
