Maybe when one of these ROP "mosques" show up on the streets of Crawford, we'll all get serious about dealing with the enemy. Of course, by then, it will be too late.

Here is the next part of the article. Interesting:

The point of the report, she said, was to demonstrate that the Saudi government – supposedly an ally in the war on terrorism – sends material into America that could encourage terror.

Many Muslim leaders acknowledge that oil-rich Saudi Arabia pays for an enormous amount of literature supporting the extremely restrictive salafi or Wahhabi version of Islam that holds sway in Saudi Arabia. That branch of Islam, which is highly critical of non-Muslims and even what it considers less-observant Muslims, is followed by a fraction of the world's billion-plus Muslims, experts say.

High-quality pamphlets and books are distributed in large quantities by the Saudi government and Saudi-funded organizations – while more moderate Muslim groups lack the finances to compete.

Some Saudi-produced materials end up at the Richardson mosque, Imam Kavakci said, but he added that neither he nor other mosque officials have time to read it all.

"I am not a police chief. I am not a district attorney," he said. "I am a religious guy."

The presence of the materials hardly makes the Richardson mosque an outpost of Wahhabi theology, Imam Kavakci said. He has had to explain to his members that some of the Saudi material does not represent his understanding of Islam.

"The Saudi approach is a problem," he said. "It's a problem for me, here."
