Friday’s terror attack in Britain, which left at least 29 people injured in a London underground train, has once again triggered a public debate about fighting terrorism and the root cause of extremist ideology. To discuss the issue, Press TV has interviewed Catherine Shakdam, director of Shafaqna Institute for Middle Eastern Studies from Tehran, and Richard Millett, a journalist and political commentator, from London.

Catherine Shakdam said the Western powers especially Britain are aware of the fact that Saudi Arabia is promoting Wahhabism, which is spreading extremism and terrorism, but the Western authorities neglect the controversial issue and even continue to sell arms to the Arab country.

“There is a very direct link in between the way that foreign policies are being formulated in Western capitals – in London in particular – towards Saudi Arabia for example ... and terrorism itself,” the analyst said on Friday night.

Until the West addresses the “ideology” behind promoting terrorism, which is “Wahhabism,” the world will continue to suffer from terrorist attacks time and again, she noted.

Shakdam said that she did not think “counter-terrorism is actually countering anything at this point, because we (the West) continue to empower the very radicals to come back to our streets in London, in Paris and in other capitals across the world including the Middle East.”

Referring to the Saudis’ policy, she argued, “Saudi Arabia has empowered radicals to continue to terrorize populations just because they think that they are the most righteous and that they have the right to terrorize and bully people into submission.”

“The only country today that is promoting terrorism is actually Saudi Arabia,” the commentator stipulated.

In July, the Henry Jackson Society, a British think tank, reported that Saudi Arabia is the main sponsor of extremism in the UK, urging a probe into sources of money being injected mainly by the Riyadh regime into the institutions promoting radicalism in the European state.

Saudi Arabian Wahhabism schools are across the globe. Of course the Saudis use other nationalities to wage their terrorism.

Turnbull/Shorten's best defence against terrorist attacks occurring in Australia is to cut financing and supporting Saudi Wahhabism.

Saudi funding of Indonesian education fuels concerns

The specter of radicalism hangs over the spreading of the Wahhabist message into the world's biggest Muslim nation.

Whenever anyone criticises anything about the wahabist influenced mosques in Australia's you scream Islamophobe. You defend wahabists wearing the burka but only put the boot into Saudis relationship with USA

Seems like you want it both ways.

I see it is now Turnbull and Shorten. Maybe you should try staying on message. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I have not seen much of an attack on wahhabism on this board.

It's either just on muslim women ... or just all muslims.

The best defence against terrorism in Australia is to strike at the snake pit : Saudi Arabia, by cutting all ties.

And B. fostering a closer relationship with moderate Islam.

Would we prefer Indonesia to me the biggest Islamic nation of terrorists, or moderates.

Currently both old parties seem to want Indonesia to be packed with extremists, attacking Australia with their nukes.

The coalition and labor collude on foreign policy. Both are full backers of Wahhabism.
And currently, both Turnbull and Shorten front their pro terrorism parties.

And since Shorten will replace Turnbull in the very near future, Shorten should be under the spotlight too.

BTW, PFP, this is something we agree on.

I've posted here many times I want Australia to have an energy revolution and use everything at our disposal,  renewables, gas, local oil, nukes to be energy independent and buy both from KSA.

The whole world should do this and bring KSA to its knees. I'd even be ib favour of nuking Mecca.

You have overstepped the line.
Calling for the murder of the Greens in the other thread. Remove it.

And you call me a paedophile one more time, I'll start reporting you.

BTW I know for a fact Mossad closely monitors people like Rhiannon. She's a jew hater.

And who died and made you headline police.


If you don't want to discuss the topic, and yet again pick holes on some obscure point, you are dead to me.

It all sounds a bit strange to me and however much I do not like Turnbull I can not see what it has got to do with him.

The idea that it is only Saudi Arabia seems to be unsupportable and strange maybe even insane.

Roosevelt meet King Abdel Aziz in Afghanistan and signed an agreement. America gets Saudi oil and Saudis get religious freedom ~ i.e Wahhabism.

An extremism religion that believes in the defeat of the west.

Labor and the coalition support this, in there yes Sir behaviour towards the Americans.

This mean the major country behind those terror attacking in Europe, Turnbull looks the other way.

What happens when Saudis direct attacks at Australia, via Indonesia, and massive amounts of Australians are killed.

Will the old parties still smile, and still look the other way.


Next election must be over ending our ties with Saudi Arabians terrorism.

I don't believe either deserve blame but Turnbull is the guy with the title. At the moment the oppositions position is not relevant.

Australia selling military equipment to Saudi Arabia during brutal Yemen conflict

Australian firms have secured contracts to supply military equipment to Saudi Arabia, an autocracy accused of ongoing war crimes in a conflict that has killed more than 10,000 civilians.

Defence has approved four military exports to the kingdom in the past year and the Australian government has led the push for more.

But the government is refusing to release details of the approved military sales, citing commercial-in-confidence rules.

Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne visited Riyadh in December to promote Australian materiel to senior government figures including Prince Mutaib bin Abdullah al-Saud, the head of the National Guard.

Turnbull mob should sell weapons to Islamic State also. Since both are very similar.

Saudi Arabia: Prominent Clerics Arrested
Coordinated Crackdown on Dissent

Beirut) – Saudi authorities have arrested dozens of people, including prominent clerics, in what appears to be a coordinated crackdown on dissent, Human Rights Watch said today. The campaign comes three months after Mohammad bin Salman became crown prince in June 2017.
The reported arrests of Salman al-Awda, Awad al-Qarni, and more than a dozen others since September 10 are the latest in Saudi Arabia’s ongoing repression campaign against dissidents including peaceful activists, journalists, and writers. A prominent writer, Jamal Khashoggi, announced that his publication, al-Hayat, had banned him from writing regular opinion columns.

Will Turnbull, or the foreign minister, speak out against Saudi Arabia ... of course not.

The obscure point is that there is more than one country involved in terrorism. As for being "dead to you"  - I'm SAVED. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Of course there is more than one country involved in terrorism.

Australia. United States of America. United Kingdom.
Yes, there are more nations than just Saudi Arabia.

Now who's the PM of Australia and why would his name be in the title.

Jeez he even has them over for dinner.

And the taxpayer pays for this shite.......just look at the way Wally leave his knife and fork.........maybe he used his hands to eat his free food, and poor stupid Turnbull has his sleeve on the plate.......jeez, who brought this lot up?
