There are two basic types of states in the Sunni Muslim world.
1. Nations
2. Kingdoms
Nations are pseudo-modern efforts to create modern nation states. Many were at one point more secular, often adopting some form of socialism, and used European knowledge to build up functional armies. They tend to have some form of elections and emphasize nationalism even though they’ve usually reverted to Islamism. Examples include Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan.
Kingdoms never pretended to be modern. They’re dominated by a monarchy built around a clan or a handful of clans. They’re unable to form much in the way of civilized infrastructures and their armies are expensive white elephants run by the decadent members of the clan. They tend to be strongly Islamic, at least in public (in private they’re as decadent as can be) and derive their power from some sort of bargain with Jihadis and their vast oil wealth. Examples include Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar.
Islamic nations are bad news, Islamic kingdoms are much worse ones. The kingdoms have vast amounts of wealth and no strong means of self-defense. They can’t built up an independent functional military out of fear that, like Egypt’s last king, they’ll be overthrown, so the United States becomes their military.
They derive influence from ‘soft power’. That means they use their money to buy as much influence in D.C. as possible. And they balance that out by also financing Islamic terrorism against us. This system of checks and balances is what led to 9/11 and a lot of the global terrorism and Islamist takeovers.
They use money and terrorism to gain leverage over us. No matter how many diplomatic visits happen and no matter what gifts they hand out, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and their allies are our enemies.
They’re our enemies because despite the front they put up, they fear us and hate us. They’re our enemies because they derive their legitimacy within the Muslim world by pretending to be “protectors” of Islam, its Sharia law and its ‘holy’ shrines and cities. Those beliefs command them to be at war with us. Since they also need us to protect them against countries with actual armies (see, Iraq War), they have to counterbalance this dependency on the infidels by also financing terrorism against us. And rather than turning our governments against them, Islamic terrorism has made us more dependent on them.
The kingdoms claim that they can help us stop terrorism as long as we do what they say. Like turning on India and Israel. Like banning Koran burning and any sort of blasphemy. But it’s all a lie.
Nothing we do can change the hostility that burns in them because of their history, their beliefs and their religion… and worst of all, their need for us.
No American administration or non-Muslim state should ever be fooled into thinking that they have good relations with the Saudis, Qataris or their ilk. These are slave societies that traffic in non-Muslim women, that made their vast wealth from nationalizing our oil companies, and that sit about idly sending cryptocurrency to Islamic terrorists. They buy up our universities, our politicians and as much of our resources, real estate and human capital as they can. They built mosques to Islamize us.
They are at war with us. Any politician who hasn’t learned the lessons of the last quarter century and still doesn’t understand that needs to wake up.
Fast.
“Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Muslim Terrorist States Are Not Our Friends.”
And yet all of them publicly kissed President Trump’s ass last week.
Jeff, I think you got the “ass” and “kiss” correct but it occurred in the opposite direction. Sad to say. And may be why Daniel wrote this article…..(IDK, ask him).
I don’t see it that way. He was just dealing with them. It’s his nature. And they definitely feted him with the full red carpet treatment. And that Qatari Emir or whatever he is obviously likes Trump very much. I saw it in his face. I’ve noticed that about Trumpy. People like him when they meet him. Even Bill Maher!
They are masters of deception. One of my favorite examples which is almost comical, are the TV commercials for Emirate Airlines. Stewardesses dressed exactly like their non-Muslim counterparts, and serving drinks too.
KLM, Dutch Royal Airlines, is far and away the best I’ve ever flown on. Even the food was great! And it gave the choice of Western food and Indonesian food on the flight to Indo-Land. The food was even better than the local stuff in Indo-Land and it had the added benefit of no big green shit flies all over it.
Cathay Pacific is a good airline too.
I’m ashamed to admit that EVERY American airline sucks. Fuck, even the Mexican ones are much better, and Mexico sucks!
I’ve never seen a grown adult swear like this clown. Every post is laced with swear words. Like a child.
I guess when you cant articulate yourself you become frustrated and resort to swearing. Pathetic.
I guess when you have a tiny dick, you get resentful of real men. Bitch.
I see we have 8 Chomos here. I guess you took a break from sodomizing kiddies to troll the web. Sickos.
Exactly! The “‘relgion’ of peace” is only at peace once they achieve the Caliphate. Otherwise, they are at war with non believers, as commanded by their so-called holy book. Why the West refuses to understand this is beyond me. Our willful ignorance is sealing our fate.
I knew a lot of chemical engineers who worked in the Middle East back in the 1950s when we still owned the oil. Then the countries there “nationalized” our oil (stole it in other words). It has all been downhill since then. Gave them too much financial power.
On the other hand, our feckless governments didn’t do anything to stop them from stealing our oil.
Hell, our feckless governments bent over backwards to give them our oil. As if those sand monkeys could’ve ever developed an oil industry on their own. The only thing they’re good at is shagging goats. (Camels are too tall.)
Yeah, even as a teenager I thought it was stupid to give up our oil like that. Surrounded by powerful adults with strong opinions I kept my opinions to myself.
Yes, you have to be cool under circumspect circumstances.
I remember when I was a kid I couldn’t say “boo” because I’m so much smarter than than my parents. They didn’t like that. The big bullies in grade school didn’t like that I was smarter than them, either. It triggered them. You probably know how it is.
I’ve always hated being the smartest guy in the room. It’s thankless, to say the least.
One of the most sickening politicians is Sen. Marshall from Kansas. Has anyone defended Qatar better.
Have to think of everything in terms of the Treaty of Hudaibiya. When necessary they’ll sign a treaty knowing that they will only honour it as long as it helps them survive and grow stronger. As soon as the advantage swings they will turf it and claim that it is proper in islam. And no doubt it is. Arafat said the same thing about the Camp David Summit. Just a worthless piece of paper. Launched the 2nd Intifada right after.
So all non-muslims must consider any treaty completely temporary and like the 6 day war be ready for a pre-emptive strike, and not worry about it. Just quote the above treaty.

once the barbarians are inside the gates it is already too late . the west is beyond redemption . islam is a cancer .
The Sunni Arabs like the Shia even less than they like Israel and the West. The Arab states also know that modern Iran is not Arabian. If President Trump can align the Arabian states with Israel against Iran, he can help undo the imbalance created when the intelligence-military cabal in America destabilized Iraq. Geopolitics isn’t dating your girlfriend; it’s leveraging power to achieve your aims. President Trumps aims to have peace in the world and that requires building barriers to prevent your enemy from winning. Right now, the Communist Chinese Party is an even greater enemy than the globalist blob. Weakening Iran and China, strengthening India and the Arab states, and establishing a rapprochement with Russia are the order of the day.
Another thing is, the Arabs hated the Turks passionately, when they were under Turkish rule.
The mongols who emigrated to Asia (the Biblical land now called Türkiye) tolerated the religious practices of the lands they conquered, and were eventually overcome by Islam. But before that sad outcome, they were every bit as kind as the Assyrians, the Romans, the Egyptians, and the Babylonians to the conquered. That is to say they were cruel despots.
In islame, there are only 2 states: Dar al Harb, the Place or House of war and Dar al islame, the place of submission. Every country not run on uslamic principles is a place of war until the country submits. And thanks to the British, Americans and French who gave savage warlords of the Arabian desert, the recognition as “royalty” and bought their oil instead of taking it, we are now their slaves.
Not to worry. Once the Pope takes up “intrepid’s” call to put together an army to combat Islam we’ll no longer have to worry about this. Hopefully the Roman Catholic Church, like intrepid, bought gold 30 years ago for only $30 an ounce and can use the profits from sales to finance the army.
Maybe the Pope can put intrepid’s god in command and he’ll end the war in one day just as he did in Ukraine.
