(29,904 posts)It is interesting attorneys for the 9/11 members in their long attempt to sue Saudi Arabia (they were eventually allowed to sue the state but individual businesses & anyone else was still blocked if I remember the status correctly) have mentioned charity fronts as a way they have provided funding to these groups which is interestingly one way ISIS is funded.
I recommend the entire article -- http://www.newsweek.com/2014/11/14/how-does-isis-fund-its-reign-terror-282607.html
Basically, they've done their homework. Those same routes as far as transporting supply & funds in Syria from Turkey also happen to be the same way the CIA was able to traffic firearms to Sunni rebels. A lot have said they supported the rebels & didn't intend for it to get into ISIS hands (Saudi Arabia mentioned how willingly the US allowed the events in Tunisia & Egypt to take place -- Qatar sent aid & supply to the rebels in all of those countries. Considering they're Wahabbi dictatorship, probably organized & financed a Wahabbi cult to lead the charge but we are so forgiving for them. We'll cover for them when it comes to their investments, fly the Bin Laden family out-of-the-country as a major priority when all flights are cancelled, blame the secular dictator for 9/11 or giving nukes to terrorists. They say the same about Iran but Hezbollah would be the type of group they would deal a nuke to and aside of their obsession with Israel, don't appear to have much activities in the West or especially the US.
