    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You said tolerance and Islam in the same sentence. Tell that to the kids swinging from nooses in their soccer fields for listening to rock and pop, or the Christians being beheaded left and right, or to the women stoned to death to protect the "honor" of their family, as if they knew the meaning of the word.

    You must be talking about Afghanistan and the Talib... Evidently you think the Muslim world is monolithic.

    If you are asking what Muslim countries I have been to, I've been to Iraq, Turkey, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. That was enough for me.

    You might find them interesting.. to read the country studies for the Arab countries you have visited... They use them to teach the military.

    No they weren't. That story has been debunked years ago. You just keep believing it because it fit you silly notion that the Saudi can do no wrong. In the real world the Saudi are the number one financier of terrorism and radicalism on this planet, followed closely by Iran.

    Its has NEVER been debunked.. In fact immediately after 9/11 they named a Saudi student pilot .. and the name was familiar to to me. I was working in Pompano and on my street which was also the address of the Jet Port, a student pilot by that name crashed in November of 2000.. I remember it vividly because it took me three hours to get home that day.. and because I thought it sad that he was a Saudi.. I called the newspapers and looked up the crash in the archives. I was right.. The so called hi-jacker had been killed in a qualifying solo flight the year before.

    Further, you can still find the names and photos and interviews of the six who had their identities stolen.

    And, anyone who knows the visas situation for Saudis since 1950 would know the reasons why.

    It was debunked and you're delusional for thinking it wasn't.
    The only place that story is still being pushed are truther sites.

    I do not support the Coalition intervention, and anyone who has read into the world's recent history shouldn't either. Houthis is popular among Yemeni citizens. Their popularity is what took them to victory even after years of being bombarded by Saudi proxy fighters. This is a conflict about Yemen, and Yemeni citizens are the only one's who need to be involved at this stage. Houthis fully cooperated with the UN and reinstated the parliament. They are not a radical terrorist movement. They are a revolutionary movement that is unsatisfied with their countries government. A country which is the poorest in the Middle East.

    There was a war between Malik and Hadi, and it ended in victory for Houthis. Saudi Arabia is bringing war to a country that just got out of one, and this time the war is international.

    They are Zaidi Shia. That is why Iran is supporting them.

    Ahh, sounds like the same motivation for their support for terrorists in Israel and surrounding areas...a religious one. Doesn't at all sound dangerous to me...Is the US supposed to follow suit and base its foreign policy on Christianity? How does this work?

    Except Houthis isn't a religious organization. Their support is sustained on promises to weed out corruption and end the big oil plutocracy in the country.
    It is the only primarily shia organization I know of that attracts a large amount of sunni members. That says something alone.

    Houthis needs to separate itself from Iran, but realistically, Iran's support is the only thing that kept them alive back in 2006. Consider an organization you support (anyone) in the same position. Under fire from Saudi Arabia and looking like they're going to fall apart. Would you criticize that organization for accepting a rivals assistance?

    Fact: Yemen's former government committed more crimes compared to Houthis. Child soldiers, genocide, political censorship, torture, bombing non-combatants, ect.
    If anything, Malik would be an improvement.

    You implied that the Iranians were supporting the Houthis for religious reasons. I also think they are undermining the Palestinian peace process for religious reasons. I think that governments that use religion to guide their foreign policy are dangerous.

    LOLOL.. Big oil in Yemen? Yemen's oil production has been limping along for decades because the country is so violent.
