(Original title too long: Saudi Prince pledges to use part of his $32 billion fortune to spread propaganda about Islam throughout America)
Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a senior member of the Saudi monarchy, says hell pledge his $32 billion fortune to charity. In light of his past donations, this is a highly concerning development. Much of his philanthropic work will help foster cultural understanding of Islam in America and the West. That means promoting the kingdoms brand of Islam, while censoring criticism of Islam.
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal owns the second-largest block of stock (7%) in News Corp., Fox News parent company. Recently Alwaleed has been accused of saying, A strong U.S. government is not good for us. If he simply wants stories about the dictatorship of the Saudi Kingdom to be swept under the rug, his investment in FOX News helps ensure that.
Investors Business Daily: Published reports and books reveal Alwaleed already has pledged millions to radical Muslim Brotherhood front groups like CAIR and the Muslim Students Assoc. that have as their main goal to Islamize America and spread Shariah law throughout the West.
These pro-jihadist groups can now count on a massive and virtually endless infusion of cash to their war chests.
Alwaleed has extensive ties to Brotherhood leaders. For example, he tapped tele-Islamist Tariq Al-Suwaidan, widely reported to be a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Kuwait, as the channel director of his Islamic religious TV outlet Al Risala.
The networks Supreme Advisory Committee has included Abdullah Omar Naseef, whom ex-federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy says is a major Muslim Brotherhood figure who has helped raise funds for al-Qaida.
Alwaleed made headlines after 9/11 when he donated $10 million to the World Trade Center fund only to have then-New York mayor Rudy Giuliani return the check. After presenting the money, the Saudi billionaire issued a press statement blaming the terrorist attacks on U.S. support for Israel while our Palestinian brethren continue to be slaughtered at the hands of the Israelis.
The next year, Alwaleed donated a whopping $27 million to a Saudi telethon for the violent Palestinian intifada against Israel, according to the Clarion Project.
Also in 2002, he gave $500,000 to the Washington-based designated terrorist group CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), which federal authorities have linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
In 2005, moreover, he spent $40 million to expand Islamic studies at U.S. colleges donating $20 million to Harvard University to create a campuswide Shariah law studies program, while pumping another $20 million into Georgetown University for a Muslim-Christian understanding program run by notorious Islamic apologist John Esposito.
Harvard used the gift, which was initiated by the prince, to create the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Islamic Studies Program, a University-wide project run by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.. The money will fund four new professorships, one known as the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal chair in contemporary Islamic thought and life, and provide support for graduate students. It will also launch a $1-million initiative within the University Library, the Islamic Heritage Project, that will digitize historically significant Islamic materials and make the resulting images, including digitized texts of the classics of the Islamic tradition, available on the Internet.
The $20 million gift to Georgetown is the second-largest ever received by the Jesuit-run university, school officials said. It will be used to expand the activities of the universitys 12-year-old Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. Center director John L. Esposito said in an interview that a significant part of the money will be used to beef up the think tank part of what the center does. It will answer issues like, What is the actual relationship between the West and the Muslim world? Is Islam compatible with modernization?
Despite fawning press reports, Alwaleeds charitable pledge is no cause for celebration. Its cause for alarm. His billions will finance Islamist pressure groups who exist to force Western civilization to yield to Islamic no-go zones, Shariah courts and blasphemy laws.
If unmatched by patriotic philanthropists, the Saudi princes huge endowment could be a major setback for state and local efforts to push back against Islamization.
Of course the universities are all for it!
Note: recently I read that Alaweed sold the majority of his ownership in News Corp.
What a waste of money... all the Liberals HERE already LOVE Islam..(They’ll find out, though)
Save your money. Most of us understand the culture of Islam by studying ISIS and the prevailing silence of crickets from “moderate” Islam.
America is so screwed.
This is exactly what I thought when I read the article. Thank you for the graphic — it is perfect!
It isn’t MY money — it is an Arab prince’s money. Please!
I wasn’t talking to you. I was talking to the prince.
His money would be better spent in England where there’s a significant Muslim minority.
Finally some job creation.
TRANSLATION: “US-based jihadis, I will fund your terror.”
It's telling that both Republican & Democrat administrations have kept a lid on it.
Terror cells will quadruple overnight.
We. Are. Screwed.
Billions to spread the contorted fantasies of a thief, a murderer and a pedophile.
Naturally ø, himself an enemy islamist barbarian, welcomes this Treason with the essentially complete endorsement of Congress and the Supreme Court.
When posting an article people tend to respond to the article- not to YOU (as if you wrote it)
They already did that on 9/11
Is he the guy that paid for Brack Obama’s training to become the world’s most successful mole?
“His money would be better spent in England where theres a significant Muslim minority”.
Yes, England was his first win and he expects the same results here in America.
I say, completely remove him, his family and his assets.
The msm and the WH will do it for free.
Hello, Congress, is anyone there? Let me offer a framework to deal with Muislim petro-dollars: "What's good for the goose must also be good for the gander - otherwise your money and person will not enter here in any way, shape or form" .... Add a little lawyereeze and there you go!"
The love of money is the root of all evil and it may be the undoing of this republic.
Pray that we be delivered from spiritually blind, selfish and ignorant leaders!
