Archbishop Hindo explained that the West has provided support for the government of Saudi Arabia and its allies, allowing "the possibility of financing in the whole of Europe, and also in Belgium, the birth of a network of mosques where Wahhabi'ism was preached: the ideology that poisons Islam and serves as the ideological basis for all jihadist groups."

This bishop is courageous in speaking out like this, it is very true that the West has supported despotic regimes which indirectly cause the terror we are all suffering.

As a Navy veteran, I support the views of Archbishop Hindo.
