So the big question is; which side is the worse source of terrorism: MB or Wahabism?

This raises an interesting question whether the US/allies may be playing off different fundemental groups?
muslim brotherhood
Wahabism
Al Qaeda
ISIS
Sunni extremists
Boko Haram
Shiite fundementalists
Taliban
islamic separatists in Phillipines, China, Chechyna, Kashmir?

Since when?


They make lousy, overpriced cars. Since the beginning of the millennium, at least.

I guess that he meant "Muslim Brotherhood" .

Not the worst possible acronym for a faith based militant group.

The official website of the "Moro Islamic Liberation Front" of the southern Phillipines comes up on internet search pages surrounded by sites for "M.I.L.F. Porn".

I would think that those devout freedom fighters would find that demeaning! Lol!

Who turned "safe search" off again???! !!???

Merc made staff cars for Nazis, but I guess since they were a state they don't qualify as terrorists.

So Qatar (Iran's ally) and Turkey (NATO and US ally) are officially allies now (not surprising, since Turkey's regime is MB after all).

And Iran is welcoming this alliance; and taking appealing key stances for Turkey.

So now, apparently, [Qatar(Iran ally)-Turkey(US ally)-Iran(Russia ally)] are an allied front vs [KSA-Egypt-GulfStates](All US allies).

o.O

But wasn't they always said that Turkey is supporting ISIS and would be better to side with Iran for fighting Isis? O.o

o.O
And wasn't Erdogan the greatest foe for Assad (Iran's ally too) and not so friends with Russia? And weren't these latter to be the greatest foe against Isis.
(You should read on the MB-ISIS connections).

And what would be Israel's stance in all this?

Crazy times indeed; things are getting interesting.

If any car maker supports terrorism it's Toyota, watch them cheer and whoop in the back of the small-bed pickup the next time that image is on TV, 9/10 times it's a Toyota they're driving, lol.

Car companies support whatever gives them profit

The success of German and Japanese car manufacturers can be at least partly attributed to wartime government support which provided them the necessary infrastructure to switch from military vehicles back to domestic

You can't blame Toyota for making nearly indestructible small trucks. :-)

It was a joke, I wasn't seriously claiming Toyota supports terrorists, just that terrorist prefer Toyota. Not exactly a ringing endorsement you'll see on their ads...

LOL! reminds me of an image of Osama Bin Laden back when he was heading the Afghan Mujahadeen riding on a toyota ute, of course those days he was a freedom fighter and could have been played a Hollywood actor with Sly Stallone

CNN has obtained secret agreements among the Gulf States to suppress political opposition, and incidentally combat the spread of terrorism.
