spidermike007 Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago I suggest that a much higher threshold be put on potential Muslim immigrants worldwide then on any other group of people especially if these people are either Saudi or from a Muslim country that practices and extreme form of Islam. One can’t understand the global system underpinning extremism without surveying the pivotal role played by the Saudi government as well as private organizations and individuals within the kingdom. In recent decades, the Saudis have spent up to an estimated $100 billion spreading Wahhabism and perpetuating the notion that they are Islam’s caretaker. Their methods to persuade and influence run the gamut and include the funding of mosques, schools, textbooks, imams, imam learning centers and exchanges, cultural institutions around the world. The Saudis don’t simply want their extreme form of religious practice and belief to prevail. Religious forces in the kingdom, backed by the ruling family, want to destroy other, local traditions within Islam. To that end, they are rewriting history, erasing evidence of the past to favor their own narrative—a move that ideologically aligned extremists in many parts of the world have since copied. The relationship between the Saudis and extremism is not merely one of affinity. The Saudi government and Saudi individuals have directly supported terrorist groups in the Middle East and beyond. If you talking about the security of a Nation you need to be able to keep track of troublemakers and while they're at it they should definitely ban the the niqab and burqa. Both are offensive, and both show a deliberate unwillingness to assimilate. It might work back in your home nation, and it might have worked 700 years ago, but it doesn't work today not in the West. Something must be done to keep out the extremist super freaks. Their religion may work for them in Saudi, Kuwait, Yemen, Sudan or Somalia. That same ultra conservative fanatislcism, is not wanted, needed, nor desirable in Western nations. Only moderates need apply should be the policy. And there should be a standard of willingness to assimilate, and the burden should be on the family to prove the burden is met. I believe immigration policy should be reformed to the point where it should be staged, and all Muslim families should show a willingness to assimilate. I also believe that families with Muslim daughters who are teenagers can start by proving that they have participated in a bikini contest, and for teenage boys they must show a burden of proof that they're not affiliated with any of the local madrasas. Are we serious about keeping our nation's safe from extremists, or not?

Do you think these terrorist groups were formed in a vacuum or was there some kind of resistance to foreign invasion/occupation/Colonialism?

You are joking I hope? What you write is intolerant and discriminatory nonsense that goes against the fundamental principles of equality, freedom, and non-discrimination which we have in both the UK and US Constitutions. What else do you suggest, forcing Hindus to eat Beef or other religions bacon? As an immigrant yourself, I truly hope you are making a poor attempt at humour only.

So yes, absolutely I am 'stating' that there is an overwhelming probability that he was Muslim and mostly likely Sunni Muslim.... What about the percentages of those who have fled Afghanistan? You'll find that very different; the one who are other religions or non practising Muslims. It's weird the number I talk to who say they are not affiliated with a religion, despite coming from a Christian country, yet brand all those from a Muslim country fanatics or fundamentalists, bizarre.

I am a big believer in blowback and I think we're looking at a couple of centuries of blowback due to colonialism and extremist behavior on the part of the Israeli government. But there are a lot of other factors and Wahhibish was created long before blowback. Ha! The secondary aspect of this is just the utter and complete refusal of some parts of the population to assimilate on any level that is dangerous for society especially when you're talking about a population that propagates like rabbits, regardless of their financial status. 1

Dangerous to society, I disagree, diversity is good for society. Assimilation or integration and at what levels, this is of course important. Where I live in Thailand, there is very little integration with the local culture, even from those marrying locals. Should they, I, abandon their cultural identity? I say no, I maintain my Scots identity, I celebrate Hallow's Eve, BUT integrate into the local society. Look at the Irish in Boston, or the Mexicans in LA, or the Brits in Pattaya 13 minutes ago, spidermike007 said: especially when you're talking about a population that propagates like rabbits, regardless of their financial status. Saying certain populations "propagatelike rabbits" is a baseless and offensive stereotype. Integration is a two-way street that requires mutual respect and understanding.

Integration is a two-way street that requires mutual respect and understanding. You can make an argument that even though a percentage of foreigners never bother to learn good Thai, or to become part of the local culture, at least we are not a major detriment to society, we are not trying to tear society apart, we're not committing crimes, and we're not committing acts of terror. And certainly we are not propagating a philosophy that goes against the very fabric of Buddhism and contemporary Thai Society, unlike many extremist Muslims in the West. I am not anti-Muslim on any level. I am just anti-extreme Muslim and I'm anti-Muslims who refuse to assimilate or even make the slightest effort to assimilate, or embrace an extremist and hateful doctrine such as Wahhabism.
spidermike007 Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago Why am I anti Wahhabi? Why do I think all Saudis should be barred worldwide from immigrating to any nation? Why do I consider the Saudis so dangerous to mankind? But it is an ideology that divides the world into the realm of Islam and the realm of the infidel, or the realm of war. So it trains the readers that they live behind enemy lines – they must be passing through, they cannot take abode here. You only have two reasons for being in the land of the infidel. One is to convert people to Islam. The second is to acquire either money or skill which you can bring back with you to help you and others engage in jihad, and in this context, it is quite clear that they mean that in a military sense, because they go on to talk about tanks and bullets, and things of this kind. One of the things you certainly cannot do is become an American citizen, because no Muslim can be ruled an infidel. That is the particular ideology which is being taught. You must not have any good contacts, warm relations with anybody – not only with unbelievers, but with any Muslim who is not of the Wahhabi type; they are also often denounced as apostates. That is the major theme of concern in that report. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2005/05/03/the-global-spread-of-wahhabi-islam-how-great-a-threat/
