> export an extremist and hateful variant of their religion, but they don't advocate terror How can this sentence even be written? The content of that extremist and hateful religion includes jihad, a duty of believers, which is an armed struggle against unbelievers, until the whole world is Muslim and governed by Sharia "a body of moral and religious law derived from religious prophecy, as opposed to human legislation." Activity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madrassas_in_Pakistan 1947 there were only 189 madrassas in Pakistan but "over 40,000" by 2008. Mostly financed by Saudis: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/saudi/analyses... "Q: So they were basically recruiting schools? A: They were recruiting, organizing schools which also use Islamic ideology as a way of creating a very efficient guerilla army" "We're dealing with the sort of unintended consequences of that" |

I answered that -- it is not in the Saudi interest to rock the boat.
It is fully possible SA is cooperating with the Pakistan government regarding terror against India. But the Saudi government don't want to destabilize the economy of their big customers in the west, at least for now.
[Edit: SA is a brutal dictatorship which spreads religious hatred for internal political reasons, quite like Iran really. I argue that it isn't in their self interest to make the Western world angry. Both as customers and because they want support against Iran. I might of course be wrong, juntas often buy their own hype.]
