This isn’t a sign of desperation. It’s business as usual for the jihadists. I am reading Mark Steyn’s fascinating book “America Alone,” and this is perfectly consistent with Steyn’s observation–that Saudi Arabia has spent the last few decades raking in trillions of dollars in oil money and instead of investing it in diversifying its economy, the money has been used to fund madrassas and mosques promoting jihad all over the world. So Saudi Arabia, in spite of its wealth, has remained the same desert wasteland it was 300 years ago, but it has successfully laid the imperialist groundwork for the colonization of the West. Meanwhile, countries like the UK are bending over backwards to appease the growing Muslim communities and adopting multi-culti policies that compel the Brits to assimilate to Muslim culture instead of requiring Muslims to assimilate to a western culture. With a birthrate more than triple that of European countries, in only a generation or two, the EU will be living under Sharia law because radical Islam will have both the will and the manpower (an army of young, indoctrinated Muslim males) to establish their caliphate. The training of children to hate the West and to devote their lives to jihad is happening all over the world, not just in Iraq. Steyn is right. The most successful export of Saudi Arabia hasn’t been oil–it has been radical Islam.
