NPR : Saudi Textbooks Still Teach Hate, Group Says - the textbooks instruct students that Christians and Jews are apes and pigs, and warns students not to greet, befriend, or respect non-Muslims ...

[Finop]

Shhhhhhh, quiet please. We don't want the infidels to know this until we've completed the assimilation process.

[theDentist]

...warns students not to greet, befriend, or respect non-Muslims.

I believe the DNC does the same.

[Ben Mugged]

Might be time to organize a boycott of all Saudi owned businesses. They can't have it both ways.

I don't think a non Muslim can "choose"...

[PeteB570]

I'm not an ape or a pig.

I'm a Major League Infidel.

If Iraq turns out right, the world will see a whole generation of Arab-Muslims raised on freedom instead of hate. Idiot teachings like this will be debunked and these books will be relics in the Museum of Islamofascist Stupidity, located in scenic Khabul, Afghanistan.

From the Washington Times:

The Saudis' potential influence on U.S. and international media was recently illustrated by the prince's purchase of 5.6 percent of voting shares in News Corp., the world's largest publisher of English newspapers. Moreover, Reuters reported on Dec. 5 that the prince announced his plan to "spread the right message" via a new television channel, "The Message," to broadcast to the U.S. within two years.

Yet, information regarding the magnitude of the Saudi economic infiltration into the United States is secret. The U.S. Treasury's interpretation of the census law, supported by a 1982 court decision, shields this data from the public. On Oct. 27, 1982, the American Jewish Congress (AJC) was denied information requested under its own FOIA inquiry, by the U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. (Civ. A. No. 81-1745). The AJC litigated its FOIA case up to the Supreme Court, but the government won.

Indeed, filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Department of Commerce is useless. FOIA Director Burton H. Reist stated in December that this data "is protected by Title 13, United States Code, Section 9, which requires that census records be used solely for statistical purposes and also makes these records confidential." Furthermore, FOIA "exempts from disclosure records that are made confidential by statute." In other words, the government wants this information kept secret.

Under the "International Investment & Trade in Services Survey Act," the U.S. Treasury Department tracks foreign portfolio, and Commerce tracks direct investments. This information is unavailable for Saudi Arabia or the Gulf States, following their request that the details be suppressed "to avoid disclosure of data of individual companies." For example, under the heading "Foreign holdings of U.S. long-term securities, by country," Treasury aggregates all eight "Middle East oil exporters." A Treasury Department official said that this aggregation is a "Treasury policy," and justifies the non-disclosure on grounds that this information could "harm national security and foreign relations."

While the U.S. government seeks to spread American democratic values, including transparency and accountability, it denies its own citizens and policy makers the same. In view of the stated Arab and Muslim strategy to subvert the U.S economy, one wonders why the publication of Saudi financial interests in the United States would harm national security and foreign relations. It seems that the secrecy surrounding Saudi investments in the United States is what may well threaten our national security.

Pigs aren't so bad.

Telling lies to non-muslims to gain tactical advantage, isn't just OK, it is encouraged by the model of Mo-ham-head.

There is a race going on right now: the free world is being told these lies and lulled to sleep much faster than we are becoming aware of the life and death threat that Islam presents. They have serious financial backing, little to lose and enormous hatred. We have grown fat on our freedoms and because they can not defeat our military, resort to exactly these types of non-military tactics of WAR-fare. The free world either wakes up....or submits... and sooner rather than later.

[Ben Mugged]

Problem is in actually discovering Saudi owned businesses. See my post 11. The Saudi's are experts at hiding their investment portfolio.

Curious that our Government seems to protect them.......

	Media Campaign in US to Dispel Islamophobia Javid Hassan, Arab News
RIYADH — A survey conducted by Cornell University recently found that around half of Americans have a negative view of Islam and would like the US government to curtail the political activity of Muslims in the US. Addressing a press conference at the headquarters of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY), Paul Findley, a former US Congressman, said that the cancer of anti-Muslim and anti-Islamic sentiments was spreading in American society and requires corrective measures to stamp out this malaise. It was also announced that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) would be launching a massive $50 million media campaign involving television, radio and newspapers as part of its five-year program to create a better understanding of Islam and Muslims in the US. Referring to the anti-Islamic sentiments in the US, Findley said that the campaign was being spearheaded by a tiny but influential section of society, including some politicians, academics and opinion-makers. Findley commended CAIR’s initiative that he said could go a long way toward improving the image of Islam and Muslims, which has been badly dented in part due to the events of Sept. 11, 2001. Speaking on his interaction with the US media, Ibrahim Cooper, spokesman for CAIR, said that his own feeling was that American journalists are receptive to issues affecting Muslims. For this reason, nearly all American newspapers, print or online, refrained from reproducing the caricature of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that were at the center of a controversy earlier this year. He said CAIR took advantage of the issue by distributing DVDs free of charge, bringing out a book on the Prophet, and launching an awareness campaign. “All of this had a positive impact,” said Cooper. Parvez Ahmed, CAIR chairman, spoke on what he described as the most “vicious attacks on Islam” he has ever seen in recent years, adding that the campaign is being orchestrated by a minority fringe element in the US seeking to drive a xenophobic wedge between Muslims and non-Muslims. He said a minority of Muslim extremists helps perpetuate anti-Muslim sentiment in the US, but that it is wrong for Americans to rush to conclusions based on these groups that have distorted or misinterpreted Qur’anic text. He compared it to making judgments on Christians based on the Crusades. Elaborating on the CAIR campaign to dispel misunderstandings of Islam and Muslims, Nihad Awad, CAIR executive director, said that his group proposes to spend $10 million annually for five years in a media campaign. He said that CAIR would also recruit volunteers and produce educational material as part of its initiative. “We are planning to meet [Saudi] Prince Alwaleed ibn Talal for his financial support to our project. He has been generous in the past,” he added.

This NPR article must have been posted by a liberal troll. Anything done by NPR is part of the liberal media conspiracy and must have some evil liberal purpose. They couldn't have just been trying to educate us about Saudi Arabia. It's all lies I tell you, liberal lies.

"Still Teaching"???

Was somebody at NPR expecting them to change? To become more NPR-like in their world view?
