The role of Islam in the current conflicts

[ReptilianPeon]

Turkish in its essence, but what Arabs added to that mix is the garlic (to dip the Shawerma sandwich or fench fries in), I was told that people on the borders of Syria/Turkey are the ones responsible for making the garlic dip; or so did a Syrian friend who tried to "takeover the glory of making the garlic dip".

IDK, but I feel that Salafies would be more suitable for Saudi meals that take nothing but a pile of rice & chicken.

The German government did a good move. The Saudi mosques are used mainly to preach the Saud family indirectly. When I used to attend Friday prayers in Saudi mosques, the "Imam" would always finish up the speech by asking God to "guide the king & bless him", usually those speeches also ended with cursing other people who don't agree with the Saud's religion.

Saudi cuisine sounds terrible. If I wanted a pile of rice and chicken I'd make it myself. Wondering just how they grow chickens in the Saudi wasteland. I don't eat Shawerma with garlic.

Salafis aren't just Saudi I would say. There are lots of crazies in/from Pakistan for example. I often think that Professor Pervez Hoodbhoy is the only sane person left in Pakistan since Malala Yousafzai left for England and Abdus Salam and Mahbub ul Haq are dead (probably one or two others I missed of the list). I would say the Salafis who refer to themselves as Wahabbi are concentrated in Saudi and Qatar since the lies of Abdul Wahaab are the official religion of those countries (Saudi and Qatar) and that Salafis are simply Wahaabis who don't want to admit to an adoration of Abdul Wahaab.

Afghanistan is worse and I personally think Abdul Ahad Mohmand (he read the Quran in space, if you're wondering) was the last sane person ever to live in Afganistan, and first since Malalai of Maiwand. I suppose the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan may have had some reasonable people in it but Afghanistan is very barren intellectually, even compared to Pakistan.
