I have no problem blaming only the Sunni fundamentalists that are responsible for Islamist violence and I simply don't understand why that is so hard for my fellow Americans to see and actualize in policy — this mass ignorance of World Religions is what allowed the United States to get duped into invading Iraq in retaliation to the actions of the Saudi-connected Sunni terrorists that committed the World Trade Center attacks in 2001.
Soon, Americans will be led into a war against Iranian and Lebanese Shi'a people and against Lebanese Catholics, and they will justify it by pointing to the actions of Sunni people and by blaming all of Islam. Middle Eastern Christians themselves can testify that Shi'a and Christians living under Sunni fundamentalist governments will often experience similar levels of persecution.
I can not and will not pass judgment on Shi'a, Alawites, etc. for the actions of the Islamic equivalent of the KKK.
There's a book called House of Saud House of Bush that goes into the Bush family ties with Saudi Arabia. No wonder he gets along better with Islam than most conservatives because of the oil money ties.
All the evidence re 911 points directly to Saudi Arabia but most of that evidence has been purposely hidden. I don't know how closely elements of our government are tied to 911 but it is reasonable to wonder.
Read about the Bush family's thirty-year private business relationship with the Saudis and the Bin Laden family. http://www.amazon.com/House-Bush-Saud-Relationship-Dynasties/dp/0743253396
W's kind words about muslims were sincere. You understand some of his bestest friends in the whole wide world are the Saudi Royal family. And he loves those muslims sincerely because of the lucrative business dealings between the Bush family and the Saudis that have pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into the Bush family.

Do you guys have problems with America and UK giving money and weapons to Saudi Arabia? Like, how do you feel about all the money America gives to Egypt or Dubai?
I read this book in a class. It was really interesting. http://www.amazon.com/House-Bush-Saud-Relationship-Dynasties/dp/0743253396/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1439444312&sr=1-2&keywords=house+of+saud+usa
Then I read that the first gulf war was to save Saudi Arabia. I don't know if this true.
House of Bush, House of Saud by Craig Unger - almost done reading it and it explains ALOT.
This has been sitting on my shelf for a while now. Maybe I should finally get around to reading it.
The biggest reason is that the two families have business links.
Great book to get started with that doesn't fall into the conspiracy tropes.

Why do people like you continue to say this nonsense time and time again?
Here are some facts for you:
Prince Salman referred to below, is the current King of Saudi Arabia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_High_Commission_for_Aid_to_Bosnia
>was a charity organization founded in 1993 by Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz
>Among the items found at Sarajevo premises the Saudi High Commission when it was raided by NATO forces in September 2001[1] were before-and-after photographs of the World Trade Center, US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and the USS Cole; maps of government buildings in Washington; materials for forging US State Department badges; files on the use of crop duster aircraft; and anti-Semitic and anti-American material geared toward children. Among six Algerians who would later be incarcerated at the Camp X-Ray detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba for plotting an attack on the US embassy in Sarajevo were two employees of the Commission, including a cell member who was in telephone contact with Osama bin Laden aid and al Qaeda operational commander Abu Zubayda.

>By 1996, NSA wiretaps reveal that Prince Salman is funding Islamic militants using charity fronts
>A 1996 CIA report mentions, “We continue to have evidence that even high ranking members of the collecting or monitoring agencies in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Pakistan - such as the Saudi High Commission - are involved in illicit activities, including support for terrorists”
One file released by Wikileaks from Guantanamo Bay includes the text:
>Prince Salman Bin Abdulaziz paid for seventy percent of detainee’s travel expenses to Afghanistan.
Who is this detainee? Glad you asked.
>Executive Summary: Detainee is an admitted member of al-Qaida, a close associate to Usama Bin Laden (UBL) and has expressed his intentions to harm US citizens. Detainee admitted he swore bayat (oath of allegiance) to UBL, was a bodyguard for UBL and served as UBL’s personal secretary. Detainee has repeatedly stated he is a terrorist, a member of al-Qaida with leadership responsibilities, and an enemy of the US, and has acknowledged multiple ties to the 11 September 2001 attacks.

That's just the current King of Saudi Arabia!
We haven't even touched on Royal Family member Prince Bandar, the former Saudi Ambassador to the United States yet! Prince Bandar's nickname is Bandar Bush, there was even a book written about it https://www.amazon.com/House-Bush-Saud-Relationship-Dynasties/dp/0743253396
And of course, he also refused to testify about what he knew about regarding 9/11 >Former Saudi ambassador Prince Bandar refuses to testify about what he knows of 9/11
Just a little info on him - His wife sent money to the 9/11 hijackers living in San Diego , California. https://www.floridabulldog.org/2021/08/former-saudi-ambassador-prince-bandar-bin-sultan-refuses-to-testify-about-9-11/
>"On at least one occasion," the documents show, "Bassnan received a check directly from Prince Bandar's account. According to the FBI, on May 14, 1998, Bassnan cashed a check from Bandar in the amount of $15,000. Bassnan's wife also received at least one check directly from Bandar."
>Bassnan and Omar al-Bayoumi, another Saudi living in San Diego, "provided substantial assistance" to two of the hijackers — Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi — the documents said.
There are still an estimated 80,000 pages on Saudi Arabia and 9/11 that the FBI is refusing to release....
Speaking of which, this article was published last week March 14, 2022
You hit the nail on the head my friend.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_military_analyst_program
>was an information operation of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) that was launched in early 2002 by then-Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs Victoria Clarke.[1] The goal of the operation is "to spread the administrations's talking points on Iraq by briefing retired commanders for network and cable television appearances," where they have been presented as independent analysts;[2] Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman, said the Pentagon's intent is to keep the American people informed about the so-called War on Terrorism by providing prominent military analysts with factual information and frequent, direct access to key military officials.[3][4] The Times article suggests that the analysts had undisclosed financial conflicts of interest and were given special access as a reward for promoting the administration's point of view.
Here is Bush being interviewed about it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sITmVizv6X4&feature=youtu.be
Here is an article about it -
>The Pentagon military analyst program was revealed in David Barstow's Pulitzer Prize winning report appearing April 20, 2008 on the front page of the New York Times and titled Behind TV Analysts, Pentagon’s Hidden Hand
>The Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld covert propaganda program was launched in early 2002 by then-Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs Victoria Clarke. The idea was to recruit "key influentials" to help sell a wary public on "a possible Iraq invasion." Former NBC military analyst Kenneth Allard called the effort "psyops on steroids." [1] Eight thousand pages of the documents relative to the Pentagon military analyst program were made available by the Pentagon in PDF format online May 6, 2008 at this website: http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/milanalysts/
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Pentagon_military_analyst_program
Here is the Pulitzer Prize winning article about it -
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/20/us/20generals.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
>Records and interviews show how the Bush administration has used its control over access and information in an effort to transform the analysts into a kind of media Trojan horse — an instrument intended to shape terrorism coverage from inside the major TV and radio networks.

>The newly-established unit would use "new media" channels to push its message and "set the record straight", Pentagon press secretary Eric Ruff said.
>"We're looking at being quicker to respond to breaking news," he said.
>"Being quicker to respond, frankly, to inaccurate statements."
>A Pentagon memo seen by the Associated Press news agency said the new unit would "develop messages" for the 24-hour news cycle and aim to "correct the record".
>The unit would reportedly monitor media such as weblogs and would also employ "surrogates", or top politicians or lobbyists who could be interviewed on TV and radio shows.
And people were right about the Bush + Saudi business and relationship ties too:
Prince Salman referred to below, is the current King of Saudi Arabia:

I highly recommend "House of Bush, House of Saud" by Craig Unger.

Here's a link to a book that will deepen your education on the story...
A controversial book from 2004:

On the Amazon page, the top comment is a statement from the author himself:
http://www.amazon.com/House-Bush-Saud-Relationship-Dynasties/dp/0743253396
Just read the book already and quit kidding yourselves. "House of Bush, House of Saud." http://www.amazon.com/House-Bush-Saud-Relationship-Dynasties/dp/0743253396/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1441997404&sr=1-1&keywords=house+of+bush+house+of+saud
Well, to be fair in regards to that talking point, look up who Prince Bandar is, then check out this book https://www.amazon.com/House-Bush-Saud-Relationship-Dynasties/dp/0743253396
And then read this article:
