"ISIS is not Islamic

[Mister Agenda]

They are a monster the United States and al-Saud created after they had sex because they want to control Syria.

I'm tired of hearing this tripe. Please tell me what the U.S. has to do with an ideology consummated decades before its founding in the marriage of al-Wahhab and al-Saud? ISIS is only its current untethered manifestation.

For starters, the USA indirectly (through petroleum purchases) funded the Saudi export of Wahhabism throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Despite their lavish funding of this pernicious form of theo-fascism, the US continues to support the House of Saud both militarily and financially. Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant form of funding for Sunni terrorist groups. Though the Saudis are anti-ISIS, ISIS is the product of Saudi financing of terrorism and of Saudi religious ideals. And the US as a matter of policy supported Wahhabism in Afghanistan in the eighties as part of our opposition to the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. The US was sending Wahhabism-oriented children's textbooks to Afghanistan into the nineties...and those textbooks proved popular in Pakistan as well.
