by Christopher W. Holton We had to think long and hard about linking to this article. The author maintains that the Muslim Brotherhood should not be designated a terrorist organization, which is totally wrong in our view, especially given the fact that HAMAS is in fact the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel and Palestinian areas. That […]
by Christopher Holton First it was the suppression of the 28 pages of the 9/11 report. Now, 16 years after 9/11, the West still has not learned its lesson. The British government reportedly is suppressing a report which shows that Jihad in the U.K. is largely funded by Saudi Arabia. Once again, the treacherous Saudis […]

Holton US insurers are suing two Saudi banks, companies affiliated with Osama bin Laden’s family, and several charities for at least $4.2 billion over 9/11 attacks, as compensation for damages.

posted by Christopher W. Holton Multiple reports indicate that the Clinton Foundation has raked in a cool $100 million in donations from Sheikhs and despots from the Islamic world, particularly from the Persian Gulf region.

posted by Christopher W. Holton Saudi Arabia has long been a major incubator for global jihad, both violent and civilizational. It isn’t the only country that has promoted Islamic supremicism, but it is certainly the wealthiest. The Saudis’ enormous wealth has enabled them to greatly influence the political process here in America and even enlist […]
posted by Christopher W. Holton The ancient Sunni-Shia rift manifested itself overnight with tumultuous events in Saudi Arabia and Iran. First, Saudi Arabia executed, by beheading, an admired Shia cleric. Then, Iranians razed the Saudi embassy in Tehran. As a result, Saudi Arabia has cut commercial ties with Iran. So, what we have are the […]
By Christopher W. Holton A bipartisan group of lawmakers in the U.S. Senate has introduced legislation that would facilitate terror victims to sue foreign governments and private-sector financiers for support of terrorism.

Here we have another example that illustrates that Shariah-Compliant Finance is anything but free market capitalism. It is in fact a centralized, planned economic system in which despots, monarchs and dictators pick the winners and losers… http://www.pressreader.com/uae/gulf-news/20150622/282406987991679/TextView
Many Westerners have forgotten that Al Qaeda Jihadist Osama Bin Laden was from one of the wealthiest families in Saudi Arabia and that the Bin Laden family to this day benefits from the largesse delivered from one of the largest companies in the Kingdom.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. A color-coded map may be even more useful. In this case, we’d say so anyway.

New Saudi King Salman Funded Jihad
Saudi Arabia’s newly crowned King Salman has a history of helping to fund Jihadist terrorist organizations and has maintained ties with Jew-hating Muslim clerics known for advocating violence.
