Who do you think you are replying to ffs.he has not and never will be in America, i know heâs just annoying but its actually gone very sad now. Egging him on isnât good for him and to be honest is the equivalent of a man like yourself arguing with a drifter or disabled person on the subway. Stick on ignore and move on,big year of US politics ahead.
Have you always been such a sad, miserable, lonely, self-hating cunt with a terminally negative attitude to life, or was it just when you started posting here that it happened?
I feel terribly sorry for you
I live 15 minutes from San Fran and it is an utter shithole, unless walking in human feces turns you on (maybe it does?). I wouldnât live there even if you paid my rent/mortgage.
Boston and New York are not great as far as US cities go, the climate is shit for one thing. Austin, Denver, Raleigh Durham, etc. there are countless mid to large size cities that are far better to live in.
Places youâve never been sadly.
Saudi ArabiaEdit

While Saudi Arabia is often a secondary source of funds and support for terror movements who can find more motivated and ideologically invested benefactors, Saudi Arabia arguably remains the most prolific sponsor of international Islamist terrorism, allegedly supporting groups as disparate as the Afghanistan Taliban, Al Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Taiba(LeT) and the Al-Nusra Front.[98][99]
Saudi Arabia is said to be the worldâs largest source of funds and promoter of Salafist jihadism,[100] which forms the ideological basis of terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda, Taliban, Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and others. In a December 2009 diplomatic cable to U.S. State Department staff (made public in the diplomatic cable leaks the following year), U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged U.S. diplomats to increase efforts to block money from Gulf Arab states from going to terrorists in Pakistan and Afghanistan, writing that âDonors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwideâ and that âMore needs to be done since Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaeda, the Taliban, LeT and other terrorist groups.â[37] An August 2009 State Department cable also said that the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, which carried out the 2008 Mumbai attacks, used a Saudi-based front company to fund its activities in 2005.[37][37][101]
The violence in Afghanistan and Pakistan is partly bankrolled by wealthy, conservative donors across the Arabian Sea whose governments do little to stop them.[37] Three other Arab countries which are listed as sources of militant money are Qatar, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates, all neighbors of Saudi Arabia.[37][38]
According to two studies published in 2007 (one by Mohammed Hafez of the University of Missouri in Kansas City and the other by Robert Pape of the University of Chicago), most of suicide bombers in Iraq are Saudis.[102][103][104]
Fifteen of the 19 hijackers of the four airliners who were responsible for 9/11 originated from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates, one from Egypt, and one from Lebanon.[105] Osama bin Laden was born and educated in Saudi Arabia.
Starting in the mid-1970s the Islamic resurgence was funded by an abundance of money from Saudi Arabian oil exports.[106] The tens of billions of dollars in âpetro-Islamâ largess obtained from the recently heightened price of oil funded an estimated â90% of the expenses of the entire faith.â[107]
Throughout the Sunni Muslim world, religious institutions for people both young and old, from childrenâs maddrassas to high-level scholarships received Saudi funding,[108]âbooks, scholarships, fellowships, and mosquesâ (for example, âmore than 1500 mosques were built and paid for with money obtained from public Saudi funds over the last 50 yearsâ),[109] along with training in the Kingdom for the preachers and teachers who went on to teach and work at these universities, schools, mosques, etc.[110] The funding was also used to reward journalists and academics who followed the Saudisâ strict interpretation of Islam; and satellite campuses were built around Egypt for Al Azhar, the worldâs oldest and most influential Islamic university.[111]
The interpretation of Islam promoted by this funding was the strict, conservative Saudi-based Wahhabism or Salafism. In its harshest form it preached that Muslims should not only âalways opposeâ infidels âin every wayâ, but âhate them for their religion ⌠for Allahâs sakeâ, that democracy âis responsible for all the horrible wars of the 20th centuryâ, that Shiaand other non-Wahhabi Muslims were âinfidelsâ, etc.[112] According to former Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew, while this effort has by no means converted all, or even most, Muslims to the Wahhabist interpretation of Islam, it has done much to overwhelm more moderate local interpretations of Islam in Southeast Asia, and to pitch the Saudi-interpretation of Islam as the âgold standardâ of religion in minds of Muslims across the globe.[113]
Patrick Cockburn accused Saudi Arabia of supporting extremist Islamist groups in the Syrian Civil War, writing: âIn Syria, in early 2015, it supported the creation of the Army of Conquest, primarily made up of the al-Qaedaaffiliate the al-Nusra Front and the ideologically similar Ahrar al-Sham, which won a series of victories against the Syrian Army in Idlibprovince.â[114]
While the Saudi government denies claims that it exports religious or cultural extremism, it is argued that by its nature, Wahhabism encourages intolerance and promotes terrorism.[115] Former CIA director James Woolsey described it as âthe soil in which Al-Qaeda and its sister terrorist organizations are flourishing.â[116] In 2015, Sigmar Gabriel, Vice-Chancellor of Germany, accused Saudi Arabia of supporting intolerance and extremism, saying: âWahhabi mosques are financed all over the world by Saudi Arabia. In Germany, many dangerous Islamists come from these communities.â[117][118] In May 2016, The New York Times editorialised that the kingdom allied to the U.S. had âspent untold millions promoting Wahhabism, the radical form of Sunni Islam that inspired the 9/11 hijackers and that now inflames the Islamic Stateâ.[119] Iranian Hamidreza Taraghi, a hard-line analyst with ties to Iranâs supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said, âISIS ideologically, financially and logistically is fully supported and sponsored by Saudi ArabiaâŚThey are one and the sameâ.[120]
In 2014, former Prime Minister of Iraq Nouri al-Maliki stated that Saudi Arabia and Qatar started the civil wars in Iraq and Syria, and incited and encouraged terrorist movements, like ISIL and al-Qaeda, supporting them politically and in the media, with money and by buying weapons for them. Saudi Arabia denied the accusations which were criticised by the country, the Carnegie Middle East Center and the Royal United Services Institute.[121][122]
One of the leaked Podesta emails from August 2014, addressed to John Podesta, identifies Saudi Arabia and Qatar as providing âclandestine,â âfinancial and logisticâ aid to ISILand other âradical Sunni groups.â The email outlines a plan of action against ISIL, and urges putting pressure on Saudi Arabia and Qatar to end their alleged support for the group.[123][124] Whether the email was originally written by Hillary Clinton, her advisor Sidney Blumenthal, or another person is unclear.[125]
Following the 2017 Tehran attacks, Iranian authorities such as members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Javad Zarif, have accused Saudi Arabia of being behind the attacks.[126][127] In a Twitter post, Zarif wrote, âTerror-sponsoring despots threaten to bring the fight to our homeland. Proxies attack what their masters despise most: the seat of democracyâ. His statements referred to the Saudi deputy crown prince Mohammad bin Salmanâs threats against the country about a month earlier, in which bin Salman revealed their policy to drag the regional conflict into Iranian borders.[126][127][128] Adel al-Jubeir, Saudi Arabiaâs foreign minister, denied his countryâs involvement in the attacks and said Riyadh had no knowledge of who was responsible for them.[129] He condemned terrorist attacks and killing of the innocent âanywhere it occursâ.[129]
Bob Corker, chairman of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, stated that the Saudi support for terrorism âdwarfs what Qatar is doingâ; the statement was made after Saudi Arabia cut ties with Qatar, citing alleged support of terrorism by the latter.[130]
According to Newsweek , the United Kingdomgovernment may decide to keep secret the results of an official inquiry into the supporters of the Islamist militant groups in the country. The findings are believed to have references to Saudi Arabia.[131]
Following various accusations relating to sponsoring terrorism, Saudi Arabia became eager to join the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF). However, a review conducted by the FATF on Saudiâs anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing system, pointed that the kingdom has not been able to tackle the risk of terrorism financing by third-party and facilitators, as well as individuals financing international terrorist organizations.[132][133]
In 2019, Saudi Arabia has been granted a full membership of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) becoming the first Arab country awarded this full membership. This was following the groupâs Annual General Meeting in Orlando. The group is responsible for designing and issuing standards and policies that face money laundering and terrorist financing.[134]
On 25 June 2019, the Arab Coalition has revealed that Saudi and Yemeni special forces had captured Abu Osama al-Muhajir, the leader (emir) of ISISâs network in Yemen. The ISISâs leader, as well as other members of ISIS, were arrested on 3 June 2019 in a house that was under surveillance.[135][136]
Hereâs a bit of a wiki article to get you started, but if you google it youâll find literally hundreds if not thousands of articles explaining it to you
You live under the sea?
Figures, you do come across like somebody who has water on the brain
Listen you genuinely need help, i know you might like getting replies but it canât be good for you. I donât want anything got to do with you as id be picking on a vulnerable person basically. I hope you give the internet a good break this year and get some fresh air, its just not appropriate to interact with you im afraid. I have you on ignore years but some replies are viewable, hopefully thatâll get sorted.
It consumes an hour or two on a Saturday morning before the football starts.
Leftist nutcases are endangering our western way of life, they need to be crushed as Corbyn was crushed recently.
Bullet points ffs man.
But they arenât reality. Bill Maher is great on this. If you were to believe twitter there was queues from polling station and corbyn was about to revolutionize britain, similarly youd think the states is on the brink of civil war. But none of that is true in the real world.
Hi m8
Thereâs no need to project the utter sadness, futility and neediness of your life onto others
Living out your life desperately and vicariously through an Ulster club football team in the hope of refelcting some imagined glory onto âroooral Irelandâ was the latest and one of the saddest demonstrations of the emptimess of your existence
Iâll probably never go to the US, because I donât have much interest in going there, same as I donât have much interest in going to Iran
Coincidentally, the amount of times Iâve been to the US is the same number of times youâve ever had sex and ever will have*
*Outside of with your sister
Try and develop some sort of a concentration span
I know the opioids probably mitigate against that, but at least try
But they are reality at a local level. Millions of people in America live in shithole cities ran by âprogressiveâ Democrats whose policies ensure their lives remain shit. Itâs very sad actually.
As for Sid, sure if I didnât talk to him who would? There isnât one other poster on here who engages with him, the same with his dozen user accounts on boards. This is his only refuge and I am his only hope for salvation.
You see you just come across as somebody fit for an asylum when you write this sort of stuff
Itâs hard to believe that somebody could genuinely embody a parody to such an extent, but I guess thatâs why people like you are lampooned in the first place, because people like you really do exist in reality
Saudis are the number one state sponsor of Islamist terrorism
Iâm an elite poster m8.
There are generally two types of people who vote Republican - rich cunts with no heart, and poor idiots with no brain
Iâm not sure where you fall in that, actually - probably all of it without the rich bit
Iâve seen Elite biscuits make more sense than you
You are (understandably) concerned by that as you live across a bridge from the most extreme example. Tax bases eroded, state level funding etc come into play in many of these cities
âŚand you base that on a Wiki article? thatâs very poor internetting mate. If I wrote a Wiki article would you believe it as fact?
I have no time for any fundamentalist Islamist cunts, but the Saudiâs are showing some signs of moving beyond hatred for Jews as their primary philosophy.
