Manjeet Kripalani, co-founder of think-tank Gateway House, was quite blunt with her assessment of “the West’s hypocrisy”.
“The larger problem of radical Islamists is that Saudi Arabia continues to pour funds into spreading Wahhabism to different parts of the world struggling with problems of poverty and inequality. No one speaks out against this. The US funds Saudi Arabia. The US continues to fund and arm Pakistan, which is a training ground for terror. The West is responsible for the problem,” she said.
