“the creed of Islam is the same: the belief in one God, the belief in the oneness of his message, the oneness of the human family. And devotion to God should be expressed in human rights, good manners, and mercy, peace, justice, and freedom. No two Muslims will argue about this creed.
It is documented in the Koran as the highest authority, modeled by the authentic teaching of the prophet”

“…it was the CIA that began backing fundamentalist Islamists in Iraq, Syria, Chechnya, Uzbekistan, Bosnia, and other “secular” states, including more recently, Libya and Egypt. In 1984, the CIA ironically suggested that Islamist radicals could make gains from financial assistance provided by Muammar Qaddafi’s Libya and the anti-Sunni Wahhabi government of Iran. In fact, it was neither Qaddafi nor Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini who supplied the radical Sunni groups with the bulk of their aid, but the CIA and its Saudi, Gulf Arab, and Pakistani allies.
… Another formerly TOP SECRET CIA report, dated March 26, 1985, states that the CIA’s mujaheddin resistance in Afghanistan was tightly linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, including its operations in “Europe and the United States,” all of which were supported by “the governments of the Gulf states, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE.”
“The US government trained, armed, funded and supported Osama bin Laden and his followers in Afghanistan during the cold war. With a huge investment of $3,000,000,000 (three billion US dollars), the CIA effectively created and nurtured bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist network using American tax-payers money

“Osama bin Laden was indoctrinated by Wahhabist preachers in Saudi madrassas. Killing of infidels had become a justifiable act in the teachings of the Wahhabi doctrine. When U. S. troops were invited by the Saudi monarchy in 1991, as a result of Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait, there was opposition by many of the Wahhabists. When bin Laden returned from Afghanistan he proffered the overthrow of the Royal family, for allowing American boots on Saudi soil. He declared a jihad against the United States, stating it was not permissible for infidels to step on the sacred soil of the “Land of the Two Holy Mosques, Mecca and Medina”.
In the March 1997 CNN interview Osama bin Laden reiterated, “In our religion, it is not permissible for any non-Muslim to stay in our country.” A similar message had come several years earlier from radical Muslims in Beirut who did not want American troops on their soil and attacked our soldiers regularly.
In the Arabian Peninsula Wahhabists have a significant presence in Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq and Iran. In North Africa they are in Egypt, Libya and Algeria; in sub-Saharan Africa they are in Somalia, Sudan, Comoros, and Mauritania. It is the goal of Wahhabists and Salafists to take us back to the Twelfth Century when Sultan Saladin controlled most of North Africa and the Middle East, under Sharia law.
...The “Arab Spring” which started with uprisings by dissidents in the North African countries, has spread to the Arabian Peninsula. Syria and Yemen are under siege by dissidents, with al-Qaeda taking advantage of the destabilization with their own style of terrorist activity. In the May 23, 2012 Reuters article, “Yemen troops advance; donors pledge $ 4bln aid”, Mohammed Mukhashaf and Angus McDowall note, the Gulf Arab countries are alarmed by the political crisis in the impoverished Arabian Peninsula state [of Yemen] which has “given al-Qaeda the opportunity to develop a base from which to launch attacks around the world”, and Yemeni Foreign Minister Abubakr al-Qirbi stating, “Saudi Arabia is cognizant that the stability of Saudi Arabia depends on that of Yemen”.
Wahhabist imams, funded by Saudi Arabia, have indoctrinated many terrorists around the world. Yemen has become the epicenter for al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Al-Qaeda has been involved in many terrorist attacks in North Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa. Now they are focusing on their backyard with recent attacks in Syria.
Wahhabists helped to build the Saudi kingdom, and exported its fundamentalist teachings. Saudi Arabia’s oil brought them wealth, and control of many of the world’s economies. Saudi Arabia also brought the world Osama bin Laden. Syria is the next country to go through a regime change, as has taken place in Yemen, Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia. Saudi Arabia may follow, with Osama bin Laden’s legacy coming back to its roots.”

The religious curriculum in Saudi Arabia teaches that people are basically two sides: Salafis [Wahhabis], who are the winners, the chosen ones, who will go to heaven, and the rest. The rest are Muslims and Christians and Jews and others.
Obama is not on our side:
https://thewordsmithcollection.wordpress.com/2014/08/11/obama-is-not-on-your-side/
Obama did not support of peace, instead he supported the murder of prisoners at home and misusing the CIA and the Pentagon to destabilize, attack, invade, and/or occupy and exploit sovereign nations and people who pose no threat to America. The man is a war criminal and should have been impeached, indicted, sentenced and jailed for his crimes.
Instead, the crimes of our last five presidents (Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama) have been ignored and nobody has been held responsible. And now Trump has embraced this tragedy. Donald allows the CIA and the Pentagon to continue expanding dozens of wars of aggression, while he uses his bully pulpit to sell racism, ignorance, misogyny and hate.
I refuse to buy what he is selling.
Peace is a cure for war. Intelligence is a cure for ignorance. And love cures hate. We can make a change. Time to look in the mirror of history.
