Is the United States' safety and security being compromised by Barack Obama and democrats so willing to grab power that they accept foreign funding on their watch?
I have long wondered why the United States continues to cover for Saudi Arabia after 9/11, knowing that their state religion, Whabbism, is one of the strictest and most radical sects of Islam …
Wahhabism is an ultra-conservative branch of Sunni Islam. It is a religious movement among fundamentalist Islamic believers, with an aspiration to return to the earliest fundamental Islamic sources of the Quran and Hadith, with inspiration from the teachings of Medieval theologian Ibn Taymiyyah and early jurist Ahmad ibn Hanbal. Al-Wahhab's teachings have become the dominant form of Islam in Saudi Arabia. <Source>
And, especially when the Saudis appear to be financing the worldwide spread of Whabbist Mosques, some saying in return for a Faustian deal where some of their wealthiest citizens fund international terrorists in exchange for not attacking the Kingdom and deposing its leadership.
The Saudis have spent at least $87 billion propagating Wahhabism abroad during the past two decades, and the scale of financing is believed to have increased in the past two years. The bulk of this funding goes towards the construction and operating expenses of mosques, madrasas, and other religious institutions that preach Wahhabism. It also supports imam training; mass media and publishing outlets; distribution of textbooks and other literature; and endowments to universities (in exchange for influence over the appointment of Islamic scholars). Some of the hundreds of thousands of non-Saudis who live in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf have been influenced by Wahhabism and preach Wahhabism in their home country upon their return. Agencies controlled by the Kingdom's Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Da'wah and Guidance are responsible for outreach to non-Muslim residents and are converting hundreds of non-Muslims into Islam every year. <Source>
The Saudis have spent millions attempting to convince Westerners that Islam is the religion of peace, and if not that, Saudi Arabia is not complicit in international terrorism …
And, what better way to spread the word than establish institutional endowments and well-paid teaching sponsorships as a platform to spew favorable propaganda.
What connection, if any, there is between Wahhabism and Jihadi Salafis is disputed. Natana De Long-Bas, senior research assistant at the Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University, argues:
The militant Islam of Osama bin Laden did not have its origins in the teachings of Ibn Abd-al-Wahhab and was not representative of Wahhabi Islam as it is practiced in contemporary Saudi Arabia, yet for the media it came to define Wahhabi Islam during the later years of bin Laden's lifetime. However "unrepresentative" bin Laden's global jihad was of Islam in general and Wahhabi Islam in particular, its prominence in headline news took Wahhabi Islam across the spectrum from revival and reform to global jihad.
Noah Feldman distinguishes between what he calls the "deeply conservative" Wahhabis and what he calls the "followers of political Islam in the 1980s and 1990s," such as Egyptian Islamic Jihad and later Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. While Saudi Wahhabis were "the largest funders of local Muslim Brotherhood chapters and other hard-line Islamists" during this time, they opposed jihadi resistance to Muslim governments and assassination of Muslim leaders because of their belief that "the decision to wage jihad lay with the ruler, not the individual believer". <Source>
Is this spin? A difference without a distinction? At least to the hijackers in the September 11 attacks, where of the 19 men affiliated with al-Qaeda, 15 were citizens of Saudi Arabia?
Although bin Laden possessed views similar to Wahhabi Islam, his ideology was different in crucial ways.
First, Wahhabi doctrine is very clear that only political leaders can call for jihad, making bin Laden's calls illegitimate.
Secondly, Wahhabi Islam has positioned itself very clearly behind the Saudi royal family, in contradiction to bin Laden's repeated calls for the overthrow of the Saudi government, and it does not allow for disobedience to a ruler unless the rule commands that his/her subjects violate religious commandments.
Furthermore, the basic goals of bin Laden are different. bin Laden was most interested in "resisting western domination and combating regimes that fail to rule according to Islamic law." However, Wahhabism focuses on correct methods of worshipping God, removing idols, and ensuring adherence to Islamic law. <Source>
It really doesn’t matter who is calling for jihad as long as they have followers and funding. Both appearing to come from Saudi Arabia.
Now, we are hearing rumblings that Saudi interests may have bought overwhelming influence in the current administration …
Sheik Obama Tells Islamists His United States Is Willing To Surrender
The king of double speak, President Obama, has just admitted that he has no intention of keeping Americans safe from Islamist aggression here or abroad. This should come as a tremendous comfort to terrorism’s big money backers. Saudi Arabia and Qatar will no longer have to worry about the Obama Administration getting in the way of their terror financing and global Islamic aspirations. I am referring to Sheik Obama’s recent National Security speech.
Over the last 5 years, Obama has gone to great lengths to shield and encourage aggressive Islamist influence inside the United States and elsewhere. Nothing is an act of terror unless Obama says so. No one is our enemy unless the boy King proclaims it so and anyone who says different find himself or herself vilified, investigated and harassed by federal authorities. Unless of course they are Muslims. Granted access to the highest levels of government, Muslims now help shape Obama’s new anti-American national security policies.
Do not be fooled by the token drone strike or the alleged masterful use of special operations to eradicate terrorism’s leaders. If the missiles fired are not finding targets in Saudi Arabia and Qatar chances are the Sunni leaders of global Islamic terrorism are directing them
The people with the RPG’s and AK-47’s have never really been the big problem. It is the people who provide the money to recruit, train, arm and execute small and large offensives in the Islamist war on US Judeo-Christian freedoms and liberty. The same people who escaped criminal responsibility for the 911 attacks. Saudi Arabia and Qatar’s terrorism sponsors that direct Obama’s Islamic appeasement strategy and anti-American foreign policy. That is the problem.
Obama’s true loyalties were on display a few days ago. He does not surprise me. Neither will the predictable gullibility of the ignorant masses who believe his lies. After all, government paychecks and handouts buy a lot of misguided loyalty from those that conveniently proclaim executive branch criticism as racially motivated.
Obama’s regurgitated shift from combat operations to intelligence and law enforcement based terrorism opposition is another deception.
Obama ended operations in Iraq only to fuel the growth of Islamist insurgency that is tearing Iraq apart. He publicly ordered the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, but the Taliban continue the fight. Obama wants America to believe that Al Qaeda is no longer a threat, a ”shell of its former self” and Muslim Brotherhood appeasement is now beneficial to US national security interests. Yet America is excoriated as one country after another is being radicalized by a re-packaged Al-Qaeda and it‘s affiliates. Moreover, all over the world, Islam is destroying Christian houses of worship and enslaving or murdering its faithful as its violent Sharia influences spread. Not a peep about this in Obama’s National Security address. No outrage. No condemnation for these unprovoked attacks on non-believers. Just talk about closing Gitmo and setting Islamists free.
For five years, Obama has attacked American traditions and snapped to attention when Islamic influences cry foul. Somehow, Fort Hood, the Boston Marathon bombing and citywide lockdown, Americans murdered on US soil in Libya by Al Qaeda and the global Islamic attacks on Christian faithful seem to escape our myopic President. Treasonous Islamic activism is at an all time high in America. Yet our Justice Department has not only ignored it, but also embraced it.
Obama’s loyalties are no longer debatable.
Make no mistake the threat of Islamic jihad—both violent and stealth—has never been higher in America. The war waged on America by Islam started long before the first World Trade Center bombing. It will continue until our enemies have destroyed our economy and reshaped American law. The only people who could possibly believe different are Islamists themselves or people on their payroll.

But can it be true? Is it possible for foreign interests to have infiltrated the democrat party? How else can you explain the sudden emergence of socialists, communists, and those with connections to the Muslim Brotherhood given access, clearance, and even positions within the government? It’s not racist to condemn Barack Hussein Obama, not for his skin color, but for his policies and associations – things which are now manifestly evident as he has created a historical record.
While it is true that Obama appears to have adopted the Bush policies towards terrorism, re-named and amplified some of them, other of his acts are deeply puzzling. Continuing to call the Fort Hood shootings “workplace violence.” Arguing over whether or not Benghazi was called an act of terror in the early days following the attack. Misleading the American public about the cause and nature of the attack. And, then there is the strange case of the Boston Bomber’s Muslim friend who was shot dead by an FBI agent as he was about to give a confession. One that might have shed light on the deaths of three observant Jews on the anniversary of 9/11, their throats ritualistically slit. If it was a drug deal gone bad, why were pounds of Marijuana and at least $5,000 found at the scene?
Something stinks here.
Bottom line …
Letting someone believe something that is not true is every bit as much a falsehood as a deliberate lie. It appears that President Obama’s very actions are problematical when it comes to Islam and Saudi Arabia.
Perhaps the best answer is to maintain and open mind and throw the Congressional bums out of office in the 2014 congressional election cycle; and elect an honest American president in 2016. And, not the corrupt Hillary Clinton who may have been complicit in giving stinger missiles to terrorists in a State Department operation.
We are in deep trouble here … our President is untrustworthy and appears to be unpatriotic. Our Congress appears to have been bought and paid for. No wonder they want to disarm the American public before any public outrage develops when the truth is told – and, at some point, someone, somehow will tell the truth.
