It has been said that 80 percent of all the mosques and Islamic centers inside the United States are financially and spiritually tied to a radical form of Islam originating from Saudi Arabia. This ideology, identified as Wahhabism, does not promote the inclusion of persons into democratic society.
One of the American locations that Wahhabi influence has been overtly prevalent is the Tampa-St. Pete area of Southwest Florida. It is here that Sami Al-Arian, a college professor, created a wide-ranging operation that assisted in terrorist activity abroad, through Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Within Al-Arians universe lies a little known mosque, which has been fomenting hatred and violence. Recognized as the Islamic Society of Pinellas County (Islamic Society as in the predecessor of Hamas) or by its less publicized name Al-Farooq (the same title as Al-Qaedas former headquarters in Brooklyn), the mosque has been in existence since 1988.

Please explain the "It has been said" part. Who said it? Whom did they say it to? When did they say it? What was the source of the 80% figure?
You'll have to ask Kaufman for the details but I would imagine that a lot of Saudi money flows into places we don't even know about yet. It wouldn't surprise me if the figure is close to 80%.
I know that Muslim guy Michael Savage was promoting says that. He goes by the name (this is strictly a phonetic spelling) Shake Kabanny. I'm sure you could do a little google-fu to verify the source.
