If anyone is interested in the links between the UK and Saudi Arabia, a fantastic book is Mark Curtis' "Secret Affairs: Britain's Collusion with Radical Islam"
It deals with the way the British government has consistently funded and trained radical Islamic movements in order to use them as a counterweight to secular, progressive movements in order to maintain control of oil.
Just finished "Secret Affairs:Britain's collusion with radical Islam" by Mark Curtis. The author did a lot of research and sited hundreds of sources from interviews, documents, news articles, etc. The link to amazon is here
Like I said, I'm an exmuslim. You're gonna lecture ME about criticising Islam? I don't need you to tell me there are legitimate criticisms of Islam, just as there are of Christianity and Judaism and Hinduism and Sikhism and Buddhism. But your starting point is that because this terrorist was Muslim we should assume all Muslims ascribe to such beliefs. Do you even logic?
>Islam is very right wing
No, wahhabi Islam spread by the Saudi government that (a) the British government created and installed and (b) continues to be propped up by the UK and US, is right wing and intolerant. You may not have heard of Sufi Islam, for instance, but that's your own ignorance. Your argument is analogous to saying than Christianity is terrible because of the Westboro Baptist Church
>with the overwhelming number of terror attacks linked to Islam
After El Paso, right-wing terrorists have killed more people on US soil than jihadis have.. You might also want to pick yourself a copy of Mark Curtis's Secret Affairs.
Facts don't fit your narrative, mate, what are you going to do?
I'm not shutting down discussion. I'm telling you that your position is wrong, or worse, malicious. Discuss away.
Book I have heard good things about on the subject. Hopefully, I will get a chance to read it soon.
