Against funneling money to groups that fund Islamic jihadists and
teaching radical ideology
A top Senate Republican said Sunday that if U.S. allies in the Middle East don’t do more to help in the fight against terrorism, they should face consequences.
Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), chairman of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, said countries such as Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have contributed to
the rise of al Qaeda and that the United States should apply more pressure to
convince them to end their involvement with terrorism.
“I dare say that if they’re not willing to help us in that partnership,
then there ought to be some kind of ramifications from it,” he said.
Burr suggested nations must stop teaching radical ideology to their
youth and ensure that they and the U.S. are pursuing similar policies for the
future.
