I'm not going to bash you, but I am going to ask you a question. Saudi Arabia has been an exception to Trump's proposed travel ban, yet 15 of the 9/11 terrorists were citizens of that country.
Please explain to me how this makes sense.
Ummmm...maybe because the travel ban wasn't based solely on 9/11?
Maybe because 9/11 was 16 years ago and things have changed a bit since then?
Maybe because the travel ban was based on information compiled by the Obama administration?
I was going to make a sarcastic post about how much the trumpissts like that the Saudi's are being 'respectful' to trump... but, then I thought... why even bother because the hypocrisy of their posts is really pretty obvious on their own.

It's funny to see some of the very same people who in other threads have told us Islam is the biggest threat to the world getting all gushy about Donny being loved by those ruling the country that is the very heart of Islam and has a rich history of funding/promoting hatred of the west.
To me it doesn't make sense except that Saudi does have good security and may have the screening capability to vette risks that the other countries on the list do not have. IMO, it was mostly because of the traditional relations between our governments and money passing between the US and Saudi.
On the whole, it makes sense, despite legitimate concerns, to maintain good relations with Saudi to prevent them going down the wrong path.
The Saudis have been on the "wrong path" for decades. It's the Saudis who propagate and support the extremist ideology (Salafism/Wahabbism) that is the basis for ALL Islamic terrorism in the West. All of it. Every bit of it, every act of Islamic terrorism in the West, is born from that specific Saudi-supported ideology.
All the pressure for Sharia in the West is from Saudi-supported Salafism/Wahabbism. The Saudis are funding the "Sharia outreach" in the West. It's not the Iranian Shiites--they're at war with the Saudis. There are no Iranian terrorists "coming to a theater near you." Those will be terrorists with Saudi money behind them.
