A Reuters article reports: "The estranged relatives of Tashfeen Malik, a Pakistani woman accused of shooting dead 14 people in California, say she and her father seem to have abandoned the family's moderate Islam and became more radicalised during years they spent in Saudi Arabia."

Tashfeen Malik grew up in the same place as Osama bin Laden. Saudi Arabia has produced and exported dozens of terrorists to America and many other countries.

The American people may be addicted to the Saudi Arabian gasoline. Addictions are hard to break.. One of the traits of an addict is selfishness. The addict is more concerned about his addiction than his own family, or community. Some experts believe that the American government is not willing to confront Saudi Arabia, and this allows the terrorism to continue, even though Americans are suffering directly. It may be said that the American government is partly responsible for the Saudi grown terrorism, because of their choice to not complain about American deaths at the hands of terrorists, who had their basis in Saudi Arabia. The American people will never forget 9/11, but have turned a blind eye to the source of the terrorists and their funding: Saudi Arabia.

An article from TheWeek reports, "In effect, (Bob) Graham says, ISIS represents a form of Wahhabi ideology that the Saudis can't control -- a cancer that now threatens the kingdom. "Who serves as fuel for ISIS? Our own youth," said Saudi dissident writer Turki Al-Hamad this year. "In order to stop ISIS, you must first dry up this ideology at the source."

Terrorism experts around the world are calling for the American government to immediately confront the King of Saudi Arabia and demand that he and his family stop funding Radical Islam, and to stop promoting and advocating Radical Islam. If the King of Saudi Arabia is not able to reform his country, then in the national interest of the United States, the US should make moves to ensure that Radical Islam and the Wahhabi ideology are not the "State Approved" ideology taught, promoted and exported from Saudi Arabia. The security of the world and of USA in particular, depends upon a change in Riyadh.

Donald Trump, an American Presidential candidate, recently has come under attack for his proposal that no Muslims be allowed into the United States, because of a possible security threat. However, some experts in the field of Radical Islam and terrorism have said the proposal might be more specific by preventing all Saudi Arabians, and those coming into the US from Saudi Arabia. In this way, you are not targeting a religion, but in fact targeting the source of Radical Islam, which is a country: Saudi Arabia.
