“DAESH has a mother- Iraq war, and a father- Saudi Arabia” NYT brutal Op-ed on ISIS – YouTube
http://time.com/4119918/terror-family-tree/
Its father is George Bush’s America, and its mother is Saudi Arabia. The former provided it with the pretext of the disastrous invasion of Iraq. This invasion was seen as a rape of the Arab world, it was based on a lie — the false link between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein — and it destroyed the West’s moral superiority. As for ISIS’s mother, this strange theocracy is simultaneously allied with the West through the Saudi royal family and opposed to the West by an ideology that is the product of a vicious and very active clergy.
Saudi Arabia remains the ideological factory for jihadism with an “industry” of theologians it supports financially. They propagate their vision through books and television channels throughout the Arab world and far beyond. Saudi Arabia is both a victim and a source of terrorist ideas. The West oddly denies this aspect of the question, which is barely analyzed and almost rejected; the courteous media has made Saudi Arabia an ally against the devil – i.e. Iran – and allowed the terrible mechanism to remain masked: The Kingdom is the matrix of the religious doctrines that move suicide bombers to believe killing makes them eternal and God is on their side.
