It's been 95 years since Ibn Saud established the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, signed the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals ever with the United States, and ushered in an era of Wahhabist Jihad funded by petrodollars. A mere 115 years ago, Ibn Saud was an exiled brigand with a few dozen men. He retook his hometown of Riyadh and began his conquest of the Arabian peninsula, culminating in taking Mecca for himself, ending 700 years of uninterrupted Hashemite rule, supposed decedents of Mohammad himself.
"We will use your iron, but you will leave our faith alone," said Ibn Saud to the first United States minister to Saudi Arabia. As it is now, so it has always been. Watch the whole 10 minute segnment of the Mark Steyn show for a full run down of how a family of desert Bedouins took their version of Wahhabist Islam and turned it into a global powerhouse. If you can find a terrorist, a Saudi prince is not far away.
