Saudi Hate Ideology Fills US Mosques

Freedom House’s Center for Religious Freedom has completed a year-long study of documents collected from more than a dozen Saudi-funded mosques in the United States—and the study confirms what many of us had long suspected: Saudi Publications on Hate Ideology Fill American Mosques. (Hat tip: TexasSecurityMom.)

Among the key findings of the report:

* Various Saudi government publications gathered for this study, most of which are in Arabic, assert that it is a religious obligation for Muslims to hate Christians and Jews and warn against imitating, befriending, or helping them in any way, or taking part in their festivities and celebrations;

* The documents promote contempt for the United States because it is ruled by legislated civil law rather than by totalitarian Wahhabi-style Islamic law. They condemn democracy as un-Islamic;

* The documents stress that when Muslims are in the lands of the unbelievers, they must behave as if on a mission behind enemy lines. Either they are there to acquire new knowledge and make money to be later employed in the jihad against the infidels, or they are there to proselytize the infidels until at least some convert to Islam. Any other reason for lingering among the unbelievers in their lands is illegitimate, and unless a Muslim leaves as quickly as possible, he or she is not a true Muslim and so too must be condemned. For example, a document in the collection for the “Immigrant Muslim” bears the words “Greetings from the Cultural Attache in Washington, D.C.” of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia, and is published by the government of Saudi Arabia. In an authoritative religious voice, it gives detailed instructions on how to “hate” the Christian and Jew: Never greet them first. Never congratulate the infidel on his holiday. Never imitate the infidel. Do not become a naturalized citizen of the United States. Do not wear a graduation gown because this imitates the infidel;

* One insidious aspect of the Saudi propaganda examined is its aim to replace traditional and moderate interpretations of Islam with extremist Wahhabism, the officially-established religion of Saudi Arabia. In these documents, other Muslims, especially those who advocate tolerance, are condemned as infidels. The opening fatwa in one Saudi embassy-distributed book, published by the Saudi Air Force, responds to a question about a Muslim preacher in a European mosque who taught that it is not right to condemn Jews and Christians as infidels. The Saudi state cleric’s reply rebukes the Muslim cleric: “He who casts doubts about their infidelity leaves no doubt about his.” Since, under Saudi law, “apostates” from Islam can be sentenced to death, this is an implied death threat against the tolerant Muslim imam, as well as an incitement to vigilante violence;

* Sufi and Shiite Muslims are viciously condemned;

* For a Muslim who fails to uphold the Saudi Wahhabi sect’s sexual mores (i.e. through homosexual activity or heterosexual activity outside of marriage), the edicts published by the Saudi government’s Ministry of Islamic Affairs, and found in American mosques advise, “it would be lawful for Muslims to spill his blood and to take his money;”

* Regarding those who convert out of Islam, the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs explicitly asserts, they “should be killed;”

* Saudi textbooks and other publications in the collection, propagate a Nazi-like hatred for Jews, treat the forged Protocols of the Elders of Zion as historical fact, and avow that the Muslim’s duty is to eliminate the state of Israel;

* Regarding women, the Saudi publications instruct that they should be veiled, segregated from men and barred from certain employment and roles;

The report states: “While the government of Saudi Arabia claims to be ‘updating’ or reforming its textbooks and study materials within the Kingdom, its publications propagating an ideology of hatred remain plentiful in some prominent American mosques and Islamic centers, and continue to be a principal resource available to students of Islam within the United States.”

>>>>I have made it my mission in life; to expose islam for the cult it is and to pray for its followers to see the truth and the light of the one true God.<<<<<

I'm right there with you Ariamne.

There is a quote posted a few weeks ago that I think says it beautifully'.


>>>>>>This was said in a speech by French sociologist Ernest Renan back in '83.

1883, that is.

Muslims are the first victims of Islam. Many times I have observed in my travels in the orient that fanaticism comes from a small number of dangerous men who maintain the others in the practice of religion by terror. To liberate the Muslim from his religion is the best service that one can<<<<<

Last time I posted this, the speaker was criticized for his anti-Christian beliefs. Mr. Renan's beliefs or lack of, don't lessen the truth to his statement.

...how can it be considered a religion?

I would suggest that it is a religion and it has spiritual power (demonic power). Of course, this is just speculation, but Islam behaves like a talisman. The more observant and sincere is adherents are, the more they are open to invasion by forces that fan the flames of hatred and murder and destruction.

While there are many moderate Muslims (as USF says, "in name only"), it is the devout who rule Islam and they do it with a fervency that seems otherworldly. What else could make a person strap on a bomb and kill innocent people and what else could make a mother proud of a child who had done so.

It is that faith in something calling to true Muslims beyond the grave that makes Islam dangerous.

I'm with Ernest Renan. That's why I asked the question;

Does Freedom of Religion include Freedom from Islam?

Not if you're a muslim, it doesn't.

Makes me wonder, what use are our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms if we can't provide them unconditionally to our immigrants, because fanatical Saudi wahhabi clerics threaten them with sharia?

That we CONTINUE to tolerate this hideocy is about as extremely horrid as

the treason we tolerate in our Senate and Supreme Court.

God, please, help us rid ourselves of these evils.

Stephen Schwartz is a brilliant writer in San Francisco who has tremendous respect for President Bush.

He wrote on 1.26.05: "Like Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush has taken an enormous chance, and there are numerous indications it will make him remembered as one of our greatest presidents."

He also shows that Wahhabism from Saudi Arabia is the #1 enemy of both US and Iraqi's.

Shias = good: "The Arab Shias have always rejected the Iranian concept of clerical dictatorship invented by Ayatollah Khomeini."

Sunni = bad: "The record of Arab Sunni rule is one of grotesque abuse."

Whabbis = worst: "Homicidal Wahhabi, i.e. fanatical Sunni, [show] hatred of Shia Muslims."
