A Disturbing Letter from a Saudi

FrontPageMagazine.com ^ | March 15, 2K2 | Saudi Citizen to David Horowitz

[rdb3]

I RECEIVED the following email from someone describing himself as a "Saudi Citizen." I have no way of knowing whether it is authentic, but its particulars seem accurate to me and I invite readers of FrontPage to comment.

Message from a Saudi Citizen

Do not forget that radical Islam is more pervasive in the Arab world than Christianity is in the West. There is no "dissent" or "constructive engagement". The goal of Islam is to destroy anything or anyone that is not Islam. The US is responding, but your intelligence services are still sclerotic and slow. Are you paying attention America? There are two fronts on this war: one military (9/11) and one political.

--DH

Islam is colonizing the US, Europe and Asia. Bush is wrong to say that most American Muslims are anti-Terrorism. If they did not cheer in the streets on 9/11, they cheered in their homes. I was with Hussein Ibish and Hamid Faraoui that day, watching them cheering and singing, then denouncing the attacks on TV later that day. Khatami, Hussein and Assad reach out to US democrats, journalists, etc. Many Arabs loved the remarks of President Carter, joking "we may have to kill him last."

Ordinary Americans are rising to the occasion, showing patriotism, sacrificing husbands and fathers. Your coastal elites are assisting radical Islam. They want America to be tolerant of terrorism and to imagine themselves guilty of previous generations crimes. We watch your news. We know this is true. [Bill] Moyers goes as far as saying Judaism, Christianity and Islam are equally guilty of terrorism. These comments are played on Saudi TV amongst reports of Israelis eating Palestinian children. Susan Sontag and Bobby Fischer got front page billing in the Saudi press for comments supportive of the 9/11 attacks, flanked by a pair of stories detailing US racism against Muslims and the killing of Palestinian babies at Israeli hospitals. Lies, of course, but seem true next to actual comments by Americans.

It surprises us moderate Muslims to see half of American society help radical Islam kill America and the West.  Your political left is justifying terrorism in the minds of the "Arab street" as you call it. They forget that Usama bin Laden has higher approval numbers in Saudi Arabia than Bush has in the US. Every bit of self doubt or anti-Americanism helps bin Laden. Every Saudi student that comes home after a US college education repeats the anti-Americanism he hears at university. "You see, they even hate themselves," is a refrain heard from many Saudi graduates of US universities.

I can't tell America what to do, but anyone can see what you are doing to yourselves.

Makkah Al-Mukarramah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Whether or not this e-mail seriously came from a citizen of Saudi Arabia, it does make one give pause and think.

[EternalHope]

It has the ring of truth. But if it came from a real Saudi, he'd better hope they can't trace the sender.

Guess that means Raimondo doesn't even "rise to the level" of Susan Sontag or Bobby Fischer.

[america-rules]

This is 1000% correct. The left has no clue how deep they hate us and the even muslims in the USA hate America. Sure there are some who are moderate but they are like Ted Kennedy Catholics who think they are holy because they pray and go to church but sin the rest of the time !

[XBob]

seems to me you are describing muslims, newbee, who can't think.

[Jeff Chandler]

Horowitz is a Goebbels without a Hitler.

And you are a name-caller without a clue!

[TLBSHOW]

Black muslims are the sleepers, all muslims are the sleepers, but black muslims have a score to settle with the white system here in America and they are being used to do it for the war. As for your post, it is fantasy.

[PA Engineer]

Beat me to it.

[TLBSHOW]

In fact far left wing nut, you are a nothing but a commie lover and terrorist helper.

I was going to engage you until I found out this little tidbit:

Disruptor alert.

[droberts]

Sorry this sounds like a disinformation piece.

[rdb3]

And your reasoning behind your assertion is. . .?

[RoadKing]

Letter back to all islam terrorist SOB's. You cannot hide, we WILL 'smoke' you out and make you pay for what you've done to our innocent citizens. You will NOT be forgotten or forgiven for your acts. You DO have the world's only superpower PISSED OFF and hot on your trail. I, and many fellow citizens like me will spill our blood before giving in to you. We will NEVER forget!

[TLBSHOW]

the whole book? LOLROF

[RIGHT IN SEATTLE]

Friends don't let friends study islam!

[ThePythonicCow]

Thanks, BC93. Your odd remark about Horowitz prompted a defense of Horowitz, that in turn prompted me to take a look at his Front Page Magazine web site. A good site. Thanks for (unintentionally) leading me to it.

[RCW2001]

If this is this pre-dawn protocol, then I guess...sky's the limit for propaganda.

Thanks for setting a new 'sub-standard'...I'll re-caliber my webnews-crawler!!

Stay tuned...

WOW!

Whether a true Saudi or not, he basically put into words what many of us FReepers are coming around to believing. By now, we have all pretty much realized that Islam is not a peaceful religion. It is disturbing to read that the tolerance our government encourages and/or forces us to adhere to might bring about our own downfall, via our 'acceptance' of the supposedly more moderate Islamists living among us.

I think they see us as their new frontier, a nation to be conquered while we cower in guilt behind the wrongs of past generations.

Well, personally, I feel no guilt, so let them do their best and they can meet with my constitutional right to bear arms!!
