Re: Paris Shootings.
Accyexplorer, if you read your history you will see where all this started.
Very briefly, Osama Bin Laden, who was involved in the Afghan struggle against the USSR offered to protect Saudi Arabia, and the House of Saud, against the expected invasion from Iraq, who in 1990 had invaded Kuwait and had eyes on Saudi. King Fahd refused Bin Ladens offer, instead accepting the Coalition forces and American Troops. Bin Laden took this as an insult to Islam that infidels protect Mecca and Medina, prompting him to and Al Qaeda to start plotting against the 'great satan' resulting in the World Trade Centre bombing in 1993. The rest as they say is history
