So why does he enjoy such support in the Middle East?

Sean Aqui has a few ideas.

    To my understanding, Salafism and Wahhabism are darn near the same thing.

    Why are almost all of your articles linked to the same site?

    Justin blogs at Donklephant and co-blogs here.

    Salafism is a few hunder years older than Wahhabism, and has origins in syria, while wahhabism is from arabia. But they’re pretty much the same thing, and share almost the exact same views.

    Thanks Dennis!

    Why do the terrorist leaders all have the same ratty AKSU (eyebrow burner) assault rifle? The thing is useless outside of 30 feet with that short barrel, and the flash suppresor is like having a roman candle on the end of your rifle LOL.
