While the U.S.' response to 9/11 seems to be pretty measured in light of the possible angry retaliation that a vengeful government could have wrought, many believe the real culprits have not been punished nor even correctly identified.

Evidence Mounts Linking Saudi Arabia to World Terrorism

This will not be a politically correct briefing and it will be short.  The evidence is pretty clear and can be cited quickly.

Despite U.S., U.K., and Israeli Intelligence Community's secret analysts conclusions ¹, as well as various leaked media stories ^2,3 , no government has yet to condemn the Saudi's for their complicity in terrorism.  Hints of these analyst's conclusions have made their way to journalists -- the first hints being supplied to and then reported on by the larger media outlets with full time journalists in the Pentagon and State Department or covering intelligence agencies like the CIA and the NSA. Several stories appeared in October of 2001.  But little has been said since then.

Now the sources are leaking into the investigative domains of the independents and finally can be confirmed.  The story that both SIGINT  intercepts and on the ground agents are telling is that Saudi Arabia has not only bred the terrorists, this leading Arab nation continues to find ways to fund the terrorists.  All the while Saudi Arabia continues to speak in the public forum as if they are an anti-terrorist nation.

The events and leaks over the period since 9/11 have built a picture of the duplicity of the Saudi government and the culture brimming with anti-western and especially Anti-U.S. sentiment.

"Wahhabi --
also spelled Wahabi,  any member of the Muslim puritan movement founded by
Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab in the 18th century in Najd, central Arabia, and
adopted in 1744 by the Sa‘udi family. "

Where is the snake in the grass that poison's the Middle East?  MILNET believes it hides in plain sight in Saudi Arabia:

• The Saudi funded Wahhabi sect, part of a worldwide network of Muslim extremists
• The Wahhabi are followers of the teachings of Mohammed Ibn Abdul Wahhab Najdi, a violent dissident in the Muslim religion.
• The Wahhabis killed hundreds of thousands of Muslims leading up to their taking power, more recently  led by the founder of the current Saud Dynasty in Saudi Arabia, Ibn Saud in 1925.  He also led the desecration and destruction of sacred tombs, graveyards, and mosques in Mecca and Medina. According to a Fox News ³ report:
"Saud’s armed supporters, in a frenzy of iconoclasm, first leveled Jannat al-Baqi, the "heavenly orchard" in Medina, where one of the original associates of Muhammad was buried under the prophet’s supervision. Other relatives and thousands of early companions of the prophet were also interred at the site, as were the imams Hassan and Hussein, venerated by Sunni and Shia Muslims. All these graves were wrecked by Saud’s minions, who then looted the treasure at the prophet’s shrine."
• The Wahhabis founded the state of Saudi Arabia in 1932.
• The largest concentration of the Wahhabi sect still remains  in Saudi Arabia
• Mosques where the preaching of this sect have sprung up all over the world preaching the Jihad against all infidels, with an emphasis on the Jews and their friends the U.S. and Europe (especially the  U.K.).
• These preaching include training which makes young men and woman ripe for terrorist recruitment.  90% of Islamic terrorists have links to training by Wahhabi sect trainers (both religious figures and non religious figures) as well as training in Wahhabi run mosques.
• The Wahhabi sect preaches that non-Muslims must be enslaved, converted (conquered) or destroyed.  There are no other choices.
• Several Wahhabi sect Mosques have been found to store and distribute funds, anti-western propaganda and even weapons to terrorists.
• Several Wahhabi sect Mosques have been the dispatch point where suicide bombers have been armed and sent   minutes before they blow themselves up.
• Members of the Saudi government (the majority of the Princes) are attended for religious purposes by members of this sect
• Members of the Wahhabi sect travel freely across all Arabian nation borders.
• The Wahhabi sect continues to receive enormous funds from the Saudi government, especially Wahhabi sect organizations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Israel.
• Wahhabi sect continues to sanction suicide bombings and is the religious force behind Hezbollah, Hamas, and Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade suicide bombing campaign in Israel.  No member of the Wahhabi sect clerics has condemned suicide bombings or acts of terrorism initiated or executed by a member of the Wahhabi sect.
• Wahhabi sect is the religious sect of those arrested smuggling arms from Iran to Hamas in Israel.
• The Saudi government to speak out against the Wahhabi sect and its position visa-vis terrorism and suicide bombings.
• Funding of "Palestinian martyrs" through various "relief" programs -- funding of suicide bombers incites their behavior.  This week a telethon, funded in part by the Saudi government, gathered funds for suicide bomber's families.  This counters non-Wahhabi sect Muslim tenets that do not recognize the bombers as "martyrs".
• Saudi representatives claim support for U.S. and condemn terrorism including suicide bombings on U.S. TV then minutes later claim exactly the opposite on Arab speaking radio and TV worldwide.
• Saudi government embraces and stands by Saddam Hussein and Iraq, yet has not withdrawn their support for U.N. resolutions in effect since the Gulf War.  Clearly they have different positions in the Western world then they espouse to the Arab Nations.
• Saudi Arabia routinely allows Hamas and Hezbollah free movement in their country, both recognized the world over as Terrorist organizations.
• Links from Taliban to Saudi Arabian, Iraqi, Iranian and Pakistani Intelligence organizations
• Growing evidence that shows Saudi funding of Taliban escapees through Iran
• Possible sanctuary for Taliban officials in Saudi Arabia
• OPEC votes by Saudi Arabia rarely benefit the West.
• The U.S. has begun pulling out of Saudi Arabia as other ports and bases are ready to act as replacements

Why focus on the Wahhabi Sect?

In the case of the Wahhabi sect, MILNET believes that the growing evidence requires U.S. governmental (public) investigation into the Wahhabi sect as a clear and present danger to the U.S.  Similarly we would highly recommend European countries including but not limited to the U.K., as well as Israel take on similar investigations.  If the determination can be made that the Wahhabi sect is indeed participating in terrorism, than countries that support, fund, or allow Wahhabi sect operations should be listed as nations supporting terrorism unless they condemn the Wahhabi sect and take purposeful steps to eliminate its practitioners.  Nations that allow such influences on its peoples are not practicing freedom of religion, they are practing suicide.

Even in the U.S., where we have religious freedoms as one of codified freedoms, we cannot stand by and allow a religion to undermine our government.  The question arises as to how many Wahhabi sect muslim practioners are there in the U.S.?

At least one journalist has taken the time and risk to find out and the news is not good.  All across the U.S., there are Mosques spouting the Wahhabi mantra, distributing anti-U.S. literature.  Disenchanted, poor or angry Americans are being taken in by these practioners in growing numbers.  And yet we stand by and let the evil grow.
 

Why Are the Saudi's So Powerful and Not Villified?

Dominance wins in the Arab culture.  In the case of the Wahhabi sect, the Saud Dynasty was and is the most ruthless and feared of all the Saudi tribes.  Their dominance is not through leadership in peace or industry, but through fear and death.  Looking back at how the Saudi's have become so powerful, it is clear that other Arab Nations respect them through timeless cultural tenets, the most feared is the most respected.  The fact that Saudi Arabia is clearly anti-Semetic and continues to fund terrorism against Israel and its friends, cannot be disputed, yet nations who have no reason to fear Saudi's ruthless touch still offer that nation the respect it does not earn nor deserve.  This includes nations like the United States, the United Kingdom, and many others who are the very target of the teachings and beliefs of its leaders and clerics.

The support and respect for Saudi Arabia and its support of theWahhabi sect must end.  By targeting the Wahhabi sect, the worlds nations will provide the Saud family and the nation of Saudi Arabia the opportunity to change the landscape of Islamic terrorism.  Not to do so, will continue to allow the festering den of terrorist monsters to continue its practices and soon will bring suicide bombers to the U.S. and Europe.
