He said in a statement that the "philanthropic pledge will help build bridges to foster cultural understanding, develop communities, empower women, enable youth, provide vital disaster relief and create a more tolerant and accepting world."

He said the donation "will be allocated according to a well-devised plan throughout the coming years" but stressed there was no time limit on when the donation would be spent.

I would guess it is a Muslim charity to build mosques and pervert more of the Earth.

"build bridges to foster cultural understanding"

Translation: Build more mosques in the USA and other Christian nations.

If history is correct, even the Huffington Post of all places reported that Saudi Wahhabism has spent billions to spread its message. I would think this is where most of this "charity" goes alright.

You are correct. About 10 years ago, I read “Hatred’s Kingdom” by Dore Gold. He exposed the Saudis as one of the prime movers and shakers of Islamic terror in the world. They use their money to spread their particularly virulent brancd of Wahhabi Islam around too.

Chances are, you can find this book at your local library. I’d encourage you to read it. It really changed my mind about how I view the Saudis.

Definitely not that. Saudis are extremely worried about them.

This man has a long history of being very charitable to non-Muslims. He is involved in horse racing and he has given very substantial amounts of money to victims of natural disasters here is horse racing country. He’s done that as long as I’ve lived here.

If none of his money goes to islime-centric organizations — including all the fronts and laundries — then I’ll respect him. If one dime goes to the Islamic Council on Being Great Friends to Everyone and Never Beheading Folks Anymore, then I’ll know he was just another phony Bedouin barbarian, albeit a very RICH one.

Still, it is an improvement over trying to suicide bomb your way in.
