Maybe if you didn't use these terms, you might get more respect:

"intolerant, virulent form of Islam... boiling cauldron culture..."

Some naive folks might think you are intentionally exaggerating your point.

well, I've asked you 3 times now whether or not you believe Saudi Arabia's spread of an intolerant, virulent form of Islam contributes to a boiling cauldron culture that is a threat to the West. You don't seem to want to answer the question, despite your very unambiguous inferences in previous posts.

Well, my weekend starts at about noon Thursday, US time, so I haven't been on the PC since then. As for your question, as I've told you repeatedly I prefer to express myself using my own language, so would rather not express my views in your bizarre terminology. I don't know what a "boiling cauldron culture" is, and I don't know exactly what you mean by "the West".

I do agree that Saudi Arabia's Wahhabist Islam is intolerant and unpleasant, and its spread anywhere is definitely a bad thing for the rest of the world, including the west, east, north, normal Islamic person, Jew, atheist or whatever. It sucks for everyone, and I'd even imagine lots of Saudis think it sucks.

I think I said it clearly in previous posts - Saudi Arabia sucks!

You manage to evade the question by not saying things directly,

Actually, I evaded the question by going to a bar...
