EXCLUSIVE: Syrians In Ghouta Claim Saudi-Supplied Rebels Behind Chemical Attack
^Saudi Arabia is a long time known proxy of the U.S. via which radical Islamic terrorist cells are funded and trained.
This is not entirely correct.
While the US does use Saudis cells when they need them, the House of Saud has it's own use for them.

Umayyad Caliphate at its greatest extent

"Estimates of Saudi spending on religious causes abroad include "upward of $100 billion",
[73] between $2 and 3 billion per year since 1975." (compared to the annual Soviet propaganda budget of $1 billion/year),
[74] and "at least $87 billion" from 1987-2007
[75] Its largesse funded an estimated "90% of the expenses of the entire faith", throughout the Muslim World, according to journalist Dawood al-Shirian."

"The persecution of the Shia throughout history by Sunni co-religionists has often been characterized by brutal and genocidal acts. Comprising only about 10–15% of the entire Muslim population, the Shia remain a marginalized community to this day in many Sunni Arab dominant countries without the rights to practice their religion and organize."
"Most of the Shi'a holy places in Saudi Arabia have been destroyed by the warriors of the
Ikhwan, the most notable being the tombs of the Imams in the Al-Baqi' cemetery in 1925.
[101] In 2006 a bomb destroyed the shrine of Al-Askari Mosque."
"In March 2011, the Malaysian government declared the Shia a "deviant" sect and banned them from promoting their faith to other Muslims, but left them free to practise it themselves."

This war is raging since a millenium. 1000 fucking years.
Sunni vs Shias, and now after all that time the Wahhabi tribe of the Sunni branch is about to erect the Caliphate once again.
We, as western world, in our search for oil made a pact. And fucked up.
Big time.
To really understand into what we have turned the middle east, one just needs to compare the Iran of 1950 to Saudi Arabia today.
And if history teaches us anything, then that this people never stop.
And with "this people" i mean the extreme wing of the Sunni branch.
Since the birth of their religion, they are at war. Should tell us something.
Like the first link above points out, the House of Saud thinks it can control the beast it created.
History will prove them wrong.
