I said this - over a decade ago - that the Saudi-Arabian royal family (who yield most of the power in the country) was playing both ways when they was supporting this groups - ISIS and IS i just one of the latest groups to be founded - and given ample help from Saudi-Arabia - and from other states in the persian gulf - UAE and so one... This was before Iraq was attracted by US and Uk forces - and right after Al-Qauda had blown up WTC and the rest...
I was told by numerous persons who was in the know I was stupid - and had no clue what so ever what I'm talking about... They was so much smarter than me - that I should stick to what I know - and that wat nothing at all - and let the "grownups" understand how things really work around the world.... I even was told to get studying - as one of them believed Saudi-Arabia to be one "Our" best allied in the region - and that would never financier groups like Al-Qauda.... or worse groups like IS
I guess I was right then - and right now - when I state rather loud - the fact that Saudi-Arabia had a finger in the groups foundations - as a proxy for its goal in the middle east - and also in the greater world... Saudi-Arabia is a country founded on a rather extreme expression of Islam - the Wabbit-sect who even the two large "schools" in the Islams cleric education have problems understanding - or to accept as part of Islam - but thanks to the Saudi-Arabian oil wealth - and the money therein - and also as the kings duty as "defender" of the two most holly places in the Islamic faith - make them a powerfully player and shaker in how Islam is ruled - and also who is getting the support or not.... And even if the official Saudi-Arabian country do not support extremists - it is not exactly a secret that parts of the royal family - on their own have given a lot of money to organizations - who surly give aid to extremism... In the first couple of mounts after 9/11 2001 - a princess of the Saudi-Arabian royal family was cough in Germany - with more than 6 million dollar she could not explain what she should use it for - and it was also rumored - that the Princess was on a trip for founding extremism groups in Europe - found some of the more extremist groups in France and UK - by the millions -but thanks to the facts the German intelligence systems was able to track her down - she and the group she was traveling with was first put in house arrest at a opulent hotel - and then after a while - when she hide under diplomatic immunity - was showed the door - and asked never to travel back to Germany - or for that matter to any member state of EU.... Something that made some ruckus with the saudi-arabian ambassador - but I guess the germans show the ambassador some evidence - enough to tell them - that they should be lucky Germany was not making it more loudly than they did... And in the years after that incident - many diplomatic groups from Saudi-Arabia have been cough founding groups who is rather fundamentalist - and extreme all over the european continent... The Saudi-Arabian State even tried to bride Norwegian authorities to build a grand Mosque in Tromsø - as the norther st Mosque in the world - Public servants in Norway was not taking that bribe - and the lack of public support in Tromsø also made it impossible for anyone to build it and it was shelved for the time beeing....
