Why is the U.S. Backing the Most Barbaric, Violent, Extreme Muslims … And Overthrowing Moderates?

Salafis are the most violent, crazed fundamentalist Muslims. For example, both ISIS and Al Qaeda are Salafis.

ISIS and other salafi terrorists represent a very small percentage of Muslims. PBS estimates Salafi jihadists constitute less than 0.5 percent of the world’s 1.9 billion Muslims (i.e., less than 10 million).

As we’ve been warning for more than a year – long before the old crazies re-branded as “ISIS”  – Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other American allies have been supporting the crazed extremists who are persecuting Christians.

Indeed, the majority of the world’s Salafis are from Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia. Salafis make up:

  • 46.87% of Qatar
  • 44.8% of the United Arab Emirates
  • 22.9% of Saudis
  • 5.7% of Bahrainis
  • 2.17% of Kuwaitis

These are the closest allies of the U.S. in the Middle East. In other words, we are backing the most violent, extremist Muslims in the world … and overthrowing the more moderate Arabs.
