Yup. George W Bush gave ISIS a region by creating a power vacuum.

And little/no public outcry from them about the atrocities committed in the name of Islam. Time for all countries targeted by terrorists to band together and stop every form of aid/benefit to the Gulf states until they find their voice for decency.

Aren't the various car bombs etc, that occur with great frequency in the ME, a terror attack?

It's already conquered territory. Did Hitler continue to send the Luftwaffe to carpet bomb Rotterdam after the Dutch surrendered?

The only parts of the Islamic World that are subject to Islamic terrorism are those in which outside powers have interfered with and have a presence in, or places where "pure Islam" (as per the Whabbists) needs to be imposed.

No big deal - just spreading culture - it is too sensitive to talk about that country funding terrorists.

'Very Sensitive' Government Inquiry into Saudi Arabian Funding of Jihadi Groups May Never Be Published

A British Muslim said that Saudi sponsored $$$ mosques in the UK import terrorists/extremists....shhhh!

British Muslim woman gets real on national TV: ‘Terrorism is…being imported right under our noses’ – TheBlaze


Maybe you can explain us then why Saudi Arabia is not on Trump's list if this is what he's trying to do?

Bush's reaction to 911 was misplaced and created a big fat mess and Obama didn't make anything better....it's now left to Trump who is smarter than Bush and obama combined.

First of all as others have mentioned, Saudi is basically a police state.

Also if you look up- Active Self Protection Saudi Terrorist Attack. You will see that Saudi does get terrorist attacks.

I can't explain what I don't understand, all I can do is speculate. IMO, Saudi should have been included in the ban...I speculate that Saudi is now using extreme vetting to prevent terrorism and so was not included in the ban.
