Republican Virginia state Sen. Dick Black said in a 2015 interview with RT, the Russion English-language news channel, "I believe that Saudi Arabia and Turkey are the two greatest dangers to world peace." He added, "It is Saudi Arabia, through the Wahhabist doctrine, that is spreading terrorism across the globe. It's not Iran; it's not Syria or any other country. ... The U.S. has been so in bed with the Saudi Arabians for so long ... and because of this Saudi Arabia has been able to do the most outrageous things ... There is not a single Christian church in Saudi Arabia, but the U.S. is quick to condemn other countries lacking in religious freedoms."
