Are the Saudis funding schools devoted to fomenting radical Islamic ideology?

Dec. 3 — An intense behind-the-scenes diplomatic struggle over a controversial Saudi-funded academy in Germany has shed new light on the close relationship between Saudi government officials and an international network of mosques and schools—some of which, Western intelligence officials say, have become breeding grounds for terrorism.

THE GERMAN SCHOOL, the King Fahd Academy in Bonn, provoked an uproar two months ago when German television reporters infiltrated its classrooms and videotaped a teacher inciting a holy war “in the name of Allah” and advocating martial-arts training—including the use of crossbows—for young students. Local German officials announced their intention to shut the school down after receiving intelligence reports that Muslim militants from throughout Germany—some of them with suspected terrorist connections—were flocking to the area to send their children to the academy.

The Germans outlawed the Nazis. They should outlaw the practice of this extremist sedition masking itself in a religious cloak.
