Apropå diskussionen om varför Saudi ibland är emot radikala muslimer;
[/quote]What keeps Islamic terrorists going in Syria is aid from Arab
Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia, which has long supported Islamic
conservative groups. Yet the Saudis came out against the Moslem
Brotherhood in Egypt this year and against al Qaeda two decades ago.
Despite that the Saudis have no problem supporting Islamic radicals in
Syria, including some who belong to al Qaeda. What is going on here?
It’s simple. The Saud family has always supported Islamic radicals, but
only those who agreed that the Saud family should be in charge (of Saudi
Arabia and as a leader of the Islamic world). Islamic radicals that
changed their minds about this arrangement were crushed. Thus the Saudis
supported al Qaeda until al Qaeda decided that the Sauds were not
Islamic enough to be in charge. That led to a dispute in the 1990s that
escalated in 2003 and, so far, the Sauds are winning. The Moslem
Brotherhood in Egypt has always been hostile to the Sauds, and that has
been reciprocated. This was made worse by the fact that the current head
of al Qaeda was once a leader in the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood. This
was made worse as the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood won a recent election
in Egypt and got cozy with Iran, the archenemy of Saudi Arabia and Sunni
Moslems in general. Iran is especially feared by the Sauds because the
Iranians are not Arabs (but rather Indo-European, like most Europeans[/quote]
