Just know that when you help one group of Muslims to defeat the other, the group you help will soon become your enemy.
It makes sense to support moderate Muslims with a secular orientation against Islamists. Such Muslims do exist: King Adbullah II in Jordan, General Al-Sisi in Egypt, Mohammed in Morocco.
However, Saudi Arabia is neither moderate nor secular. Saudi society is the Sunni counterpart to Iranian Shia Islamism, and is in some ways more malignant. As I said in my earlier post, money from Saudi clerics (thanks to the largesse of the Saudi Royal family) is more responsible for radicalizing Muslims abroad than any other source.
“Just know that when you help one group of Muslims to defeat the other, the group you help will soon become your enemy.”
In general that is true, but one man with power can make a difference, as Trump demonstrates daily. MBS is such a man, in SA, and is making a huge difference. This is about crippling him, from enemies foreign and domestic.
