23, May 2017 Trump’s Saudi Trip
Candidate
Trump would be incensed with President Trump’s warm embrace of the Saudi
monarchy. Forgotten, are his tweets calling them
“cowards” and his Facebook post likening them to “slaveholders”. The “born
again” Trump curtsied before King Salman, and seemed overwhelmed with
the sheer opulence and grandeur of his surroundings.
He
seemed totally unaware that Saudi Arabia is the epicenter of global terrorism
aggressively funding Madrassas all over the world promoting an austere Wahhabi interpretation of Islam. This is the
country that forbids their women to drive and compels them to cloak themselves
in suffocating head to toe body coverings. This is the country where women are
denigrated and lashings, decapitation of limbs, and stoning are fully condoned
by the authorities. This is the birthplace of Wahhabi
ideology which inspired the 9/11 hijackers and ALL other Islamic terrorist
groups in the world including the Islamic State.
It
is ironic that Trump was critical of Iran where they just concluded their
elections. When was the last time Saudi Arabia held elections?
Trump
announced the sale of $100 bn “beautiful” weapons
to Saudi Arabia, the opening of the Global Center for Combating Extremist
Ideology in Riyadh and the creation of a Terrorist Financing Targeting Center.
Oh what irony! The epicenter of terrorism is Riyadh! These “beautiful” weapons
will be used to kill innocent men, women and children in neighboring Yemen and
we will be complicit in Saudi’s war crimes. The ‘made in America’ unexploded
ordinances are sure to engender fierce anti-American rage.
