The Saudi version of Islam Wahhabi/Salafi will never take hold in America…Thank God
Agreed. Imagine the Japanese and Germans, allied during the second world war, merging their religions.
There are no allies in the board game of Risk, just 'Frenemies'.

Right off the top, I qualify this as potential hype. I pose this thread under the assumption it is not hype and at the least a potential in the future or indicative of over-all Islamic intention.

Again, assuming it's accurate or potentially so, I pose these concepts to you.
Trump is spot on?
A religious war, read that cultural as much as religious, is occurring and completely valid to be treated as such by our political leaders on both sides of the aisle?
One could never really separate religion from culture no matter the attempts by the secular humanists?
Time to address Saudi Arabia? (With a new president... ) Be that addressing economic/military. Also despite the inevitable protestations of the oil addicted EU?
Thoughts?

Umm $32B is what they're reporting his net worth at. How'd it turn into your title of "Saudi Prince promises 32 BILLION for the Islamization of America!"?
Trump and the Prince are feuding is all.
Trump hits back at 'dopey' Saudi billionaire
And in the WWIII forum no less. Geez get a grip.
The source for this article is Pam Geller the Islamophobe queen. So as usual it's just a load of BS.

All men are created equal
Well, i will give you the ignorance award for thinking like them. They held "men" were created equal, kept slaves and repressed womens equal rights.
So slavery and women's rights, apparently like the Kingdom of Saud, are alright with you, then?
Careful, you may step in your own ink.
BTW, I suggest a parallel with other empires in history, (the empire state building aside) all empires believe in "treating other nations any way they like". The Third Reich is just a most recent example I use because it is documented in film and archives.
All empirical thinking follows the same logic.
We have/had a moral code for the treatment of others. Largely labelled the Judeo-Christian. It was not part of the Constitution, but was a fundamental that underscored the Constitution.
We treat other nations as we deem fair or reasonable, as WE see fit. Based on that code/upbringing or not.
No different than any other country. We are not bound, by Constitution, or moral code to treat any other nation in a specific fashion.
As far as your obviously ridiculous comment about that Saudi treatment of their citizens is acceptable is nothing but spin. Obviously, I don't support those people and was pointing out the virtual idiocy of applying the Constitution as an argument that we can't judge, opine and defend against a specific group in a religion who seeks to undermine our culture and traditions.
It seems more like it is YOU who would let these issues slide. Careful that you don't step on your own toes....

personally i feel we should invade Saudi arabia. dispose their govt and leaders and make it a banana republic for usa oil. take out the middle men altogether (the saudies) and send them all back to living as nomads in tents in the desert where they belong, or at least until they get out of the middle ages.
their riches, their "KINGDOM" is all bs propt up by an army of westerners, without whome they couldn't even get a toilet to flush properly. they wanna spread wasabi, whabbi'ism or whatever do it from their wandering tents.
time to cut them from their gravy train of monthly stipends given to them for the oil they don't even know how to harvest from the western world.
ie get in where you fit in, and if you can't this jdam can help. takeout the middle man and give the oil money directly to western interests. to hell with Saudi arabia.

Actually no, the EU is the main market of Russia, Asia is the main market for the middle east.
That does not mean however that the gulf states don't want to enter and get a share of the european market, they do, hence the Turkey/Qatar pipeline.
But this pipeline must go through Syria so i think this is the answer to Turkey and the gulf states who want Assad gone and why Putin backs Assad despite the atrocities against his own people.
He'll want to preserve his market in Europe.
With the oil price below $50 shale oil is too expensive to win, so my take on this is that many oil companies in the US are in the red and laying off many workers while oil is being imported.

Wait a minute. Perhaps I missed it among all the responses, but nobody seems to have commented on the fact that the subject of the article, Alaweed bin Talal, is the second largest share-holder in Fox News. Rupert Murdoch is the largest. In my opinion, that should make Fox News fans question their loyalty to the station. The Saudi royal family actively promote Alawitism, one of the most virulent and repressive forms of Islam, but ironically Fox viewers are in fact helping to fuel it by supporting the network and giving money to bin Talal.

I think we should send him the invoice.
We can all say we're muslim now.
If we split the cash evenly between all Americans, we each get a check for $106.62.
I say we do it and cash in!

I dislike Starbucks politics. I like their coffee, oh well.
^This is the crux of it all. Lack of moral backbone and willingness to support by proxy while getting indignent and being an internet warrior.
For shame.
