    They know that. It has been pointed out to them many times by people who know what they're talking about.

    But the man inside their AM radios still peddle the lie.

    Sorry, you don't get off that quick. You aren't answering the question. The question concerns itself after the Iran deal, not before. The subject of the conversation had turned to the Iran deal. You were referencing Obama giving out Nuke material. When did he do that? Nuke inspections is not the same thing as Obama giving out nukes. So what argument have you won?

    You are a true "low information voter" - perfect Trump fodder.
    LOOK IT UP:
    For more than two centuries, Wahhabism has been Saudi Arabia's dominant faith. It is an austere form of Islam that insists on a literal interpretation of the Koran. Strict Wahhabis believe that all those who don't practice their form of Islam are heathens and enemies.

    Yeah, great idea giving them arms - what could go wrong?

    Prove that it is nonsense. If you can't, all you are doing on here is trolling with lies.

    It is still a backward, intolerant, and rigid form of Islam.

    Saudi Arabia is not a theocracy as is Iran.

    It was Iranian money held due to sanctions.
    Maybe you're confusing it with Iran-Contra?

    And yet women in Iran have more freedoms than in Saudi Arabia.

    You don't penalize by stealing some other countries money. The two countries struck a deal, and that money belonged to Iran. A penalty has nothing to do with the original deal between the two countries. If the U.S. had kept that money it would have constituted stealing. It's just that simple.

    Well, I regard all religions as backward, but I read "For more than two centuries, Wahhabism has been Saudi Arabia's dominant faith. It is an austere form of Islam that insists on a literal interpretation of the Koran. Strict Wahhabis believe that all those who don't practice their form of Islam are heathens and enemies."

    You may have other sources.
    I certainly feel the direction Kemal Ataturk took with Turkey was the correct way to go - I get that as the home to Mecca and Medina, being secular would be tough, but they could ease up and reform and Leap into the 18th century.

    Of course the US can freeze assets of a country as part of punishment for their actions.

    I have always like the Wahhabis. They have always been friendly and hospitable towards Americans... and towards me ..

    And since they struck a deal from the nuclear side, there was no reason to have those assets frozen. You yourself are calling them "assets of a country". Meaning, those assets don't belong to the one's holding them, regardless of the reason. Thanks, you just destroyed your own argument by admitting that money did not belong to us.

    Iran used those funds to finance global terrorism. Transferring the money back to Iran is financing the killing of innocent people world wide. It's that simple.
