The Idea that the Saudi leadership pays/distributes huge revenues to the Imams for their support (religious control of the people) and the Imams distribute it further, so very likely some in both the leaderships of each could easily arrange terrorist attacks as 9/11 without being directly associated with their perspective leaders. Like Rogue individuals with lots of money. ...or in fact perfectly aligned with as well.
At any rate the application of their “beliefs” run the same for both but they function outwardly differently in what they “do”....so they really hold each other up. One with Royal Empire Agendas to maintain and the other Religious Royalty before the people and control of the people so they don't turn on the House of Saud.......rather like a shared Empire acting as one.
Cronos I understand better but even so it just seems from your posts the Imams have more control....since they could turn the people against the Sauds using “religious reasons for doing so”.... But would they do so? What reason would they have?
Caww, I have appreciated Cronos comments and insights here also.
I’m still having a hard time believing that the highest levels of government know of the 09/11 attacks in advance, and either helped or approved.
Yes, the Saudi Leadership does spread the money around. That is what we would want most very wealthy nations to do.
This doesn’t mean they have inside knowledge on every 25 man operation, 19 here perhaps 6 there, in the kingdom.
Cronos observation that the Wahabbi sect “infects” other entities in the region is problematic.
Perhaps Cronos can address this, but I’ve watched Saudi Arabia from afar, and in the days when openly vivid and vicious hatred for the U. S. was much more visible than it is today from the governments in the region, the Saudi government did intercede for the U. S. with the oil cartels.
Why would they do that when they could have had far more profit, and could have weakened us at the same time?
I’m still not buying that the Saudi government is extremely anti-U.S.
