Saudi Arabia, Wahhabism and the spread of Sunni theofascism - Part 1 : Comments

By Curtin Winsor, Jr., published 16/7/2007

The Saudi Government has lavishly financed the propagation of Wahhabism - an alien, perverted version of Islam - throughout the world.

3 item today from OLP essentially about Islam, Muslims, Middle East. Why?

The latest Census tells us there are 1.8% of Australians who follow Islam. 2% follow Buddhism. But 90% of the media is about Islam.

Why?

Simple. The media exploits you and terrorism by implying Muslims are terrorists and you react. Dumb.

An excellent article demonstrating that "Sunni theocratic totalitarianism" in Saudi Arabia has been an unwelcome and unintended consequence of US and European foreign policy support for the Royal Family.

Removal of all foreign military support for the unelected Royals makes sence if cooling the trerrorist threat against the US, Europe and Australia is a higher priority than securing national oil interests.

It's likely that most citizens living in the Middle East would prefer moderate elected governments and moderate tolerant religious leaders if they were ever to be given a choice.

US interferance has been a disaster long before 9/11. It just seems to be spiralling out of control as the world approaches peak oil.

It's interesting that Christian extremeism is on the rise too. The Pope asserting supremacy over all other faiths and over all other denominations. He is reaching back to history to a Latin Mass that has intolerant messages for those few who can understand it.

It is a bit rich for Muslims to accuse us infidels of being 'reactionary'. Remember how 'precious' was the Muslim reaction to a few cartoons!, and this comes from a religious group that continually vilifies us 'infidels' from every mosque. We take our right to not participate in religious delusion very seriously, but it is not us that screams fatwahs from pulpits, nor is it us that seeks to kill people for their unbelief. Religious loonies of any kind are a threat to peace at any level of society.

Pegasus,
How many hindu/christian/buddhists etc suicide bombers do you know? Know of any who flew jet planes into high rises? What about any who plant bombs on children’s buses?

No one pretends all Muslims are terrorists. I'm sure the vast majority aren't. But a significant minority are, at the very least, tolerant of these Islamo Fascists in their communities.

“Removal of all foreign military support for the unelected Royals makes sense if cooling the terrorist threat against the US, Europe and Australia is a higher priority than securing national oil interests.It's likely that most citizens living in the Middle East would prefer moderate elected governments and moderate tolerant religious leaders if they were ever to be given a choice.”

What total rubbish. The Iranians have their theocratic state, Afghanistan had one until the West got involved and the only thing preventing Saudi from become a theocracy is their Royal Family. Fundamentalist Islam is on the rise, was on the rise before 9/11 and looks like becoming the dominant force in Islam.

I am no friend to extremist Christians either by the way. I find them repulsive too, but until they start massacring people I’ll devote more of my opinion time to the Islamo Fascists.

The double standard is so ingrained in the left they don’t even see it. By all means criticize the pope for suggesting Christianity was better than Islam. But to say nothing when the Islamits vilify Jews and Christians, which they do regularly, is hypocritical.

islam is the only transnational ideology resisting western imperialism. the commies have been bankrupted or bought out. talk about one damn thing after another. perhaps we should be thankful someone is resisting, but i draw the line with this mob.

fortunately, the wahabis are the only real nutters, the rest hate the west for cause. this lot may dry up with saudi oil. unfortunately, our joy will be muted due to economic collapse.

LOL DEMOS,

I don't think "peak oil" will bring about economic collapse though it may cause a few hiccups. Our technology is sufficiently flexible for us to find alternatives to Middle-Eastern oil as a source of transport fuels.

One partial answer to oil production peaking is simply more economical vehicles. Better automotive batteries, coal-to-liquids technology and a host of other technologies are also all likely to play a role.

Our civilisation may or may not collapse but if it does it won't be because of lack of transport fuel.

Meanwhile meet rageboy, the new T-shirt icon.
