Ummm, Saudi Arabia has been funding extremism all over for decades. And whatever isn't funded by the Saudi government is funded by us when we buy oil from them and then crazies like the bin Laden family get rich and turn around and use the money to fund operations to fly planes into buildings in NYC.

The eyes cannot roll dramatically enough.

And you also cannot deny it, assuming you looked into it. Most of the money in the region comes from oil. Saudi Arabia and other countries in that region actively attempt to export their brand of Islamic fundamentalism across the world. Whatever money ISIS has, where do you think they get it? Do they have giant car and pharmaceutical factories generating profits for them? Are Warren Buffett and Bill Gates funding them? No, they get it from that part of the world from people, wealthy and otherwise, that actually support their cause. And as I said at the start of this paragraph, most of the money people have in that region comes from oil.

I don't understand how people will get all jazzed about immigrants and refugees from that part of the world, some of which could be apples and all of whom should be vetted for sure, and then turn around and ignore the big players.
