Iran has the deserved reputation of being the world's leading source of terror funding, but this is the first time to our knowledge that a respected Middle East news source has provided this level of detail.
We were recently party to a briefing by ex Director of Central Intelligence, in which Mr. Woolsey drew the same conclusion, however he expanded the indictment against the Ayatollocracy, mentioning that Iran is not only funding Islamic terror on a world-wide basis but that it already has effective control of 4 state capitols outside of its own borders. [see, James Woolsey's Frontal Assault on Iranian Regime ].
"They are clearly imperial, they control four international capitals counting Baghdad which they effectively control…they are reaching to be more and more imperial, to extend their influence against Saudi Arabia down the Arabian peninsula [and] Houthi Iranian instrumentalities essentially control Yemen now."
Pulling back a bit from Al-Hayat/Clarion's charges, it would be foolish not to observe that the largest, most active, well funded and fiendishly barbaric Islamic terror group in the world is ISIS, a Sunni organization.
It would be remiss to avoid noting a certain amount of cheekiness regarding Al-Hayat's allegation [with which we have no major disagreement] in that it has been the Saudi government and individual Saudi citizens who have for at least two decades very actively engaged in spreading the virulent Sunni jihadist doctrine of Wahhabism. For example, the Saudis, largely through an intermediary, the North American Islamic Trust are responsible for building the majority of radical American mosques, and many throughout the world which teach this fundamentalist, 10th century iteration of Islam.
Additionally we must remember that the horrific September 11 attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were entirely led by Saudi Wahhabists.
So endemic and massive is terror support coming from the Middle East that discerning the sectarian differences between these bloody actors – placing blame - is an exercise in "too much information" for the average American citizen…with one exception. That being the incongruity of Team Obama negotiating with Iran's Shia theocracy while castigating the Sunni entity, ISIS.
Most American's intuitively know that the above constitutes a distinction without a difference, because terrorism and Islam are in this historical stage inseparable as support of jihad to extend the reach of the religion is normative across all Muslim sects, including Sufism [witness Chechnya].
