Saudi Arabia’s Involvement With ISIS Photo via Wikipedia One of the West’s strongest allies in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is also the country least open to Western values. Aside from their depressing position on women’s rights, the Saudi royal family advocates public beheadings for adultery, imprisonment for voicing opinions, and the funding of Islamic terrorists. In 1973, they even deliberately engineered an economic crash in the West as punishment for America supporting Israel. Yet, none of this even comes close to their role in the creation of ISIS. Since 2012, there has been strong evidence that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait have all allowed millions of dollars to flow to ISIS extremists. Starting last year, Saudi Arabia took the lead in financing extremist Syrian rebel groups. These very same groups are currently turning a large swath of Iraq and Syria into a moral wasteland. The Independent has also called Saudi Arabia responsible for ISIS’s interpretation of Islam and suggested the group’s rise was a deliberate attempt by Saudi security forces to destabilize Syria. In the months since ISIS made headlines, the Saudi royal family has distanced itself from the group and declared it “public enemy number one.” Yet they continue to finance preachers to spread the influence of Wahhabism, which is their personal version of Islam so intolerant it’s been called the “fountainhead of Islamist terrorism.” At the same time, the country denies any responsibility, and Western governments afraid of losing a valuable ally play along. |
