I'm not an expert but quoting Reza Aslan who's really quite a moderate scholarly type:
“There’s no question that there has been a virus that has spread throughout the Muslim world, a virus of ultra-orthodox puritanism.”
“But there’s also no question what the source of this virus is — whether we’re talking about Boko Haram, or ISIS, or al-Qaida, or the Taliban. All of them have as their source Wahhabism, or the state religion of Saudi Arabia.”
“And as we all know, Saudi Arabia has spent over $100 billion in the past 20 or 30 years spreading this ideology throughout the world.”
Not saying we should bomb the Saudis but we might encourage them to stop spending billions on promoting extremist Islam.
