Saudi Arabia is probably the biggest source of terrorism today- not only are they the main backers of Hamas, and not only did most of the 9/11 hijackers come from Saudi Arabia, and not only is Bin Laden and his ilk Saudi rich kids, but Saudi Arabia spends great sums supporting and spreading Wahabbist Islam- a sort of angry, get on the pulpit and rail against the West, pro-jihad nutcase form of Islam. It has become fairly dominant in many parts of the Muslim world, including in the US. There are a number of other strains of Islam, that really are peaceful, like Sufi Islam-
real religion after all is supposed to be introverted. People tend to have enough work to do on themselves, as opposed to converting the whole world (as various religions have dreamed of in the past).

That article I posted a little ways back in this thread. from the National Review, is an article by a Muslim talking about the current state of the Muslim world, terrorism, and what is behind it, and what is behind the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is very informative, the guy after all knows what he is talking about. He used to live in Pakistan, but as we know Pakistan is getting full of extremists- people wanted to kill him and he had to flee. Please read and comment.
