I have been waiting for the proper time to post this and the opening by our “Ally,” Saudi Arabia, in which they decry any relationship between fascism, terrorism, Islam and Muslims, is simply, untrue.
Not only are their statements and denials false, but also Saudi Arabia is THE country singularly responsible for the spread of hate and brainwashing in the West in general, and here in the US, specifically.
The following is a VERY long read and is dated. However, I searched with the title and found nothing that was posted herein.
It may have been under a different title, nevertheless, be that as it may, it bears repeating as there has been much in the news of late (including polls which show only 40% of Americans view Islam a danger to our country) and it is imperative that more people be made aware of the dangers of this so called “Religion of Peace” and how it is/will affect us all.
It is in PDF format and I would suggest that all simply save it and read it as time permits.
I have taken the liberty of convert it to Word and the following will give all, an insight into the dangers we face by not exposing as well as openly, confronting those who preach hate and for the destruction of our way of life.

The phenomenon of Saudi hate ideology is worldwide, but its occurrence in the United States has received scant attention.
While substantial analysis has been previously published on Saudi Wahhabism in other countries, few specifics have been reported on the content of Wahhabi indoctrination within the United States
The publications under study each have at least two of the following links to Saudi Arabia. They are: official publications of a government ministry; distributed by the Saudi embassy; comprised of religious pronouncements and commentary by religious authorities appointed to state positions by the Saudi crown; representative of the established Wahhabi ideology of Saudi Arabia; and/or disseminated through a mosque or center supported by the Saudi crown.
While some observers distinguish between funding from the Saudi state and donations made by individual members of the Saudi royal family, it should be noted that King Fahd makes no such distinction. His website asserts, "King Fahd gave his support, either personally or through his Government...." The website also asserts that "the cost of King Fahd's efforts in this field has been astronomical, amounting to many billions of Saudi Riyals," resulting in "some 210 Centers wholly or partly financed by Saudi Arabia, more than 1,500 Mosques and 202 colleges and almost 2,000 schools for educating Muslim children."
The King and his son donated millions of dollars to the King Fahd mosque.
Furthermore, the Saudi government has directly staffed some of these institutions. The King Fahd mosque, the main mosque in Los Angeles, from which several of these publications were gathered, employed an imam, Fahad al Thumairy, who was an accredited diplomat of the Saudi Arabian consulate from 1996 until 2003, when he was barred from reentering the United States because of terrorist connections. The 9/11 Commission Report describes the imam as a "well-known figure at the King Fahd mosque and within the Los Angeles Muslim community," who was reputed to be an "Islamic fundamentalist and a strict adherent to orthodox Wahhabi doctrine" and observed that he "may have played a role in helping the [9/11] hijackers establish themselves on their arrival in Los Angeles."
A LITTLE HISTORY FOR THE SAKE OF PERSPECTIVE
Until less than thirty years ago, our relations with the Saudis were generally smooth. We were on the same side in the cold war, and the Saudis valued our support (and we theirs) against Soviet influence in the Mideast. Of course the oil embargo of 1973 created major stress, but the watershed year was 1979, when Khomeini came to power in Iran and extremists took over the holiest of Islam's shrines, the Mosque in Mecca, which was under the protection of the Saudi King; it was reclaimed by the Saudis only after substantial loss of both life and face.
A major part of the reason for important changes in the Kingdom was the Saudi royal family's reaction to the tumultuous year of 1979. We are still feeling the after-shocks today. The Saudis chose after the twin shocks of that year to strike a Faustian bargain with the Wahhabi sect and not only to accommodate their views about propriety, pious behavior, and Islamic law, but effectively to turn over education in the Kingdom to them and later to fund the expansion into Pakistan and elsewhere of their extreme, hostile, anti-modern, and anti-infidel form of Islam. The other side of the bargain was that if the Wahhabis would concentrate their attacks on, essentially, the U.S. and Israel, the Saudi elite would get a more-or-less free ride from the Wahhabis and the corruption within the Kingdom would be overlooked.
As a result, this Wahhabi sect, which would have been regarded as recently as fifty years ago as an austere, fringe group by a large majority of Muslims, is now extremely powerful and influential in the Muslim world due to Saudi government support and the oil wealth of the Arabian peninsula. Former Secretary of State George Shultz, not known for either a propensity for overstatement or for hostility to the Saudis, calls this deflection of Wahhabi anger toward us "a grotesque protection racket."
This Faustian bargain has had a huge effect on opinion in the Kingdom. Bernard Lewis points out that throughout most of the history of Islam in most parts of the Muslim world, Muslims have generally been more tolerant than many other religions Jews and Christians, as "People of the Book", were dealt with especially tolerantly.
Today in the Kingdom, however, young people are systematically infused with hostility for "infidels." Moreover, most young Saudis are not equipped when they graduate from school to perform the jobs necessary to operate a modern economy. Instead many are employed, if that is the right word, as, e.g., religious police walking the streets to harass women whose veils may not fully cover their faces, for example. Young Saudis' anger based on their lack of useful work and their indoctrination is palpable. It is not an accident that 15 of the 19 terrorists who attacked us on September 11 were Saudis. The New York Times (January 27, 2002) cited a poll conducted by Saudi Intelligence, and shared with the U.S. government, that over 95% of Saudis between the ages of 25 and 41 have sympathy for Osama bin Laden. Whether this report from the Saudi government of their young adults' views is accurate or distorted, it makes an important point about hostility to us, either by the government, the people, or both.
The Saudi-funded, Wahhabi-operated export of hatred for us reaches around the globe. It is well known that the religious schools of Pakistan that educated a large share of the Taliban and al Qaeda are Wahhabi. But Pakistan is not the sole target. I had in my office recently a moderate Muslim leader from an Asian country. He was in the U.S., seeking to obtain funds from foundations, so that he could have printed elementary school textbooks to compete with the Wahhabi-funded textbooks that are flooding his country and that are being made available to schools at little or no cost. The Wahhabi textbooks in his country, like textbooks in Saudi Arabia, teach that it is the obligation of all Muslims to consider all infidels the enemy.
Americans are not normally comfortable distinguishing between what is acceptable and what is not acceptable within a religion, unless they are, say, debating views within their own church. Because of the First Amendment and American culture, most Americans tend not to make judgments about others' religions. But the Wahhabis and the Islamists whom they work with and support have a long political reach and their views have substantial political effect. Some of the consequences of this"grotesque protection racket" have been quite lethal: American deaths and the failure to apprehend the terrorists who killed them.
One analogue for Wahhabism's political influence today might be the extremely angry form taken by much of German nationalism in the period after WW I. Not all angry and extreme German nationalists (or their sympathizers in the U.S.) in that period were or became Nazis. But just as angry and extreme German nationalism of that period was the soil in which Nazism grew, Wahhabi and Islamist extremism today is the soil in which al Qaeda and its sister terrorist organizations are growing. We need to recognize the problem posed by the international spread of this hate ideology, including within the American homeland.
INTRODUCTION
On December 3, 2004, Ahmed, an Arab exchange student, walks down a palm-lined boulevard in a working class neighborhood of Los Angeles. Since it is Friday, he bypasses the Hispanic restaurants, the 7/11, and the sporting goods store, and enters the King Fahd mosque an elegant building of white marble etched with gold, adorned by a blue minaret, that is named after its benefactor, the King of Saudi Arabia. Later he will join 500 other California Muslims in prayer but, because it is early, he visits the mosque library where he picks up several books on religious guidance, written in Arabic, that are offered free to Muslims like him, newly arrived and uncertain on how to fit into this modern, diverse land.
The tracts he opens are in the voice of a senior religious authority. They tell him that America, his adoptive home, is the "Abode of the Infidel," the Christian and the Jew. He reads:
"Be dissociated from the infidels, hate them for their r eligion, leave them, never rely on them for support, do not admire them, and always oppose them in every way according to Islamic law."
The advice is emphatic: "There is consensus on this matter, that whoever helps unbelievers against Muslims, regardl ess of what type of support he lends to them, he is an unbeliever himself."
As he reads this warning, Ahmed thinks back to the U.S. government's request to the American Muslim community for their voluntary cooperation in the fight against terrorism and he is afraid. He knows that the tracts' author views such officials as "unbelievers," so that, if he helped them, he would be an unbeliever himself, a renegade, an apostate from Islam who should therefore be put to death. He begins to worry too about his cousin, an American citizen who recently enlisted in the U.S. military.
The books give him detailed instructions on how to build a "wall of resentment" between himself and the infidel: Never greet the Christian or Jew first. Never congratula te the infidel on his holiday. Never befriend an infidel unless it is to convert him. Never imitate the infidel. Never work for an infidel. Do not wear a gr aduation gown because this imitates the infidel.
Ahmed looks carefully at the book's cover. It says "Greetings from the Cultural Department" of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, D.C. The book is published by the government of Saudi Arabia. The other books are textbooks from the Saudi Education Ministry, and collections of fatwas, religious edicts, issued by the government's religious office, published by other organizations based in Riyadh.
In another book he reads that, if relations between Muslims and non-Muslims were harmonious, there would be "no loyalty and enmity, no more jihad and fighting to raise Allah's work on earth."
Ahmed's experience is repeated, not only in Saudi Arabia and the notorious madrassas of Pakistan, but throughout America: the texts he read have been spread from coast to coast and now fill the libraries and study halls of some of America's main mosques. To be sure, not all the books in such mosques espouse extremism and not all extremist works are Saudi. Saudi Arabia, however, is overwhelmingly the state most responsible for the publications on the ideology of hate in America.
The Center for Religious Freedom has gathered samples of over 200 such texts over the last twelve months -- all from American mosques and all spread, sponsored or otherwise generated by Saudi Arabia. They demonstrate the ongoing indoctrination of Muslims in the United States in the hostility and belligerence of Saudi Arabia's hardline Wahhabi sect of Islam.
All Saudis must be Muslim, and the Saudi government, in collaboration with the country's religious establishment, enforces and imposes Wahhabism as the official state doctrine.
In 2004, the United States State Department designated Saudi Arabia as a "Country of Particular Concern" under the International Religious Freedom Act after finding for many years that "religious freedom did not exist" in the Kingdom.
The Saudi policy of denying religious freedom is explained in one of the tracts in this study: "Freedom of thinking requires permitting the denial of faith and attacking what is sacred, glorifying falsehood and defending the heretics, finding fault in religion and letting loose the ideas and pens to write of disbelief as one likes, and to put ornaments on sin as one likes."
The Wahhabism that the Saudi monarchy enforces, and on which it bases its legitimacy, is shown in these documents as a fanatically bigoted, xenophobic and sometimes violent ideology.
These publications articulate its wrathful dogma, rejecting the coexistence of different religions and explicitly condemning Christians, Jews, all other non-Muslims, as well as non-Wahhabi Muslims.
The various Saudi publications gathered for this study state that it is a religious obligation for Muslims to hate Christians and Jews and warn against imitating, befriending, or helping such "infidels" in any way, or taking part in their festivities and celebrations. They instill contempt for America because the United States is ruled by legislated civil law rather than by totalitarian Wahhabi-style Islamic law.
Some of the publications collected for this study direct Muslims not to take American citizenship as long as the country is ruled by infidels and tells them, while abroad, above all, to work for the creation of an Islamic state.
The Saudi textbooks and documents spread throughout American mosques preach 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 state publications in America instruct that they should be veiled, segregated from men and barred from certain employment and roles.
Much of the commentary in the West on Wahhabi hate ideology is restricted to shallow statements that it is "strict" or "puritanical." The Saudi publications in this study show that there is much more of concern to Americans in this ideology than rigid sexual codes.
They show that it stresses a dualistic worldview in which there exist two antagonistic realms or abodes that can never be reconciled -- Dar al-Is lam and Dar al- Har, or Abode of War (also called Dar al-Kufr, Abode of the Infidel) -- and that when Muslims are in the latter, 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.
One insidious aspect of this propaganda is its aim to replace traditional and moderate interpretations of Islam with Wahhabi extremism.
Wahhabism began only 250 years ago with the movement created by fanatical preacher Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab. Once a fringe sect in a remote part of the Arabian peninsula, Wahhabi extremism has been given global reach through Saudi government sponsorship and money, particularly over the past quarter century as it has competed with Iran in spreading its version of the faith.
With its vast oil wealth and its position as guardian of Islam's two holiest sites, Saudi Arabia now claims to be the leading power within Islam and the protector of the faith, a belief stated in the Saudi Basic Law. Saudi Foreign Policy Adviser Adel al-Jubeir publicly states that "the role of Saudi Arabia in the Muslim world is similar to the role of the Vatican."
Even as the Saudi state asserts that it strives to keep the faith "pure" and free of innovation, it invents a new role for itself as the only legitimate authority on Islam.
The Saudis' totalitarian doctrine of religious hatred now planted in many America mosques -- is inimical to our tolerant culture, and undermines the war on terrorism by providing the intellectual foundation for a new generation of Islamic extremists.
Several of the Saudi embassy titles in this study are expressly aimed at the immigrant and traveler. It should be remembered that the leaders of the 9/11 hijackers were themselves immigrants and became radicalized in the West.
Wahhabi extremism is more than hate speech; it is a totalitarian ideology of hatred that can incite to violence. The fact that this hate ideology is being mainstreamed within our borders through the efforts of a foreign government, namely Saudi Arabia, demands our urgent attention. The press has previously written of the extremist infiltration of the prison and military chaplain programs in the United States.
The Saudi publications described in this report could also pose a serious threat to American security and to the traditional American culture of religious toleration and freedom.
Not only does the government of Saudi Arabia not have a right under the First Amendment or any other legal document to spread hate ideology within U.S. borders, it is committing a human rights violation by doing so. A government that advocates religious intolerance and hatred violates the religious freedom and tolerance provisions of Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Planted as authoritative reading materials in some of America's most prominent mosques (many of which also receive Saudi state support) these state-backed publications, in effect, represent a continuing breach of international law.
We need more rigorously to defend American ideals of equality and freedom against the Saudi government's spread of Islamic extremism.
DOES ANYONE BELIEVE THAT ONE FOR ONE MINUTE, IF A GROUP OF WHITE SUPREMACISTS DECIDED TO FORM A CHURCH AND CALL IT WHATEVER AND IT OPENLY PREACHED HATE AGAINST BLACKS, LATINOS, GAYS, FEMINISTS, ETC., THAT IT WOULD NOT BE SHUT DOWN POST HASTE, IF NOT THROUGH LEGAL SANCTIONS, THEN BY PRESSURE BROUGHT TO BEAR BY THE HORDES WHO WOULD PROTEST THEIR VILE AND DANGEROUS ADMONITIONS AND BELIEFS?
WITH FRIENDS AND ALLYS LIKE SAUDI ARABIA, WHO NEEDS ENEMIES?
AGAIN, THIS IS ONLY AN EXCERPT AND I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL TO AT LEAST VISIT THE SITE AND SAVE FOR READING—AND HOPEFULLY— SPREAD THE WORD TO OTHERS.
Two words for the Saudis: F you.
Oh, pardon me, I was being intolerant there. So sorry.
Viva Bush!

that's really funny, sometimes you just need to say the truth.

Which was built on the blood and sweat of poor souls around the world who either had their land,goods and family members stolen, or subjugated people who were forced to pay the jizyat tax extortion money.
Yeah, pure. PURE EVIL!
It took roughly 1000 years for Christianity to become "militant", so to speak, in the form of the much maligned Crusades. These came about because of the theft of the Holy Land from the Byzantine Empire by muslims, since islam was militant straight out of the box. Anyone who thinks this is a "religion of peace" needs a history lesson.
When muslims purge "jihad" from their vocabulary, we might consider purging "facist" from ours.
Saw a Discovery Time documentary yesterday on the (mis)treatment of women in Saudi. No matter what they say, they're fascists, all right.
OK, you're all islamonazis.
Terrorism has no religion and no nationality," said the statement, carried by state media. It made no direct reference to Bush or to the United States.
___________________________________________________________
Do they read these press releases before they issue them? What planet do they live on?
Let me take this thing a bit further. Old Europe and New Europe both seem to have either a short memory span or a deliberate long term memory loss. While my graduate work at USC focused primarily on the late Roman Empire and specifically on the Roman Military through research of the ‘Notitia Dignitatum,’ one can’t seriously read European history without including the bloody clashes with Islamic Jihadists’ that have extended from the 7th century to this day.
Nothing new. Even the names are re-runs of Islamic historic rational and motivation: Hezbollah = Party of God; al-Qaeda = The Base (for Islamic International Domination); and Islamic Jihad = (well) Islamic Jihad.
When these people (i.e. Ayman al-Zawahiri) say that their goal is take everything and have Islam prevail ‘from Spain to all of Iraq’ they mean it and see it as a historical holy mandate from Allah.
The uniformed will try to blame the current Western worlds bad ‘relationship’ with the Muslim world on Bush or having to do with Israel or even blame the Crusades. Sorry, it goes back much, much further and Europe has been in a continuous state of war which spans most of post Roman (Western Empire) history:
637 AD – Jerusalem falls to Muslim forces
641 AD - Muslim conquest of parts of Georgia and Armenia, Eastern Europe
667 AD – Sicily attacked by Muslims
711 AD - Al-Andalus, Muslim conquest of Spain and the Iberian peninsula begins
725-30 AD - Muslim forces take French towns, Nimes, Narbonne, Avignon
732 AD - Battle of Tours/Poitiers, France, Charles Martell halts Muslim forces in their further expansion into Europe
827 AD - Islamic Conquest of Sicily. They were finally kicked out by the Normans around 1097
846 AD - Muslim forces sack Rome and the Vatican
911 AD – Muslim forces control all the passes in the Alps between France and Italy
920 AD – Muslim forces cross Pyrenees and enter Gascony and reach the gates of Toulouse, France
1033 AD – Castille, Spain is taken back from the Muslims
1045-1099 – El Cid, becomes a hero of Spain and attempts to drive Muslims from Spain
1095 AD - Pope Urban calls for 1st Crusades to regain Holy Land from Islam and trade routes to the east. This fight between Christians and Muslims last about two centuries.
1492 AD - Spain finally forces out Muslims who have ruled over 700 years
1683 AD – Battle between Muslim forces from Turkey and the Habsburgs at Vienna, Austria
1683 AD – till the present is more of the same….blah, blah, blah.
Of course this is a SHORT, select list of Islamist ‘tolerance and peaceful’ exchange with the western world. Now if we can learn this list at our little old USC South Carolina colleges, you’d think that the ‘enlightened’ Europeans and especially SPAIN could see that they are in ‘deep $#!@’ for the umpteenth time with the Muslims.
As I heard someone remark a long time ago, “Islam has bloody borders.”
The problem is that Islam keep trying to spill over their borders to our borders which is the way it has been for their entire history.

In my universe, the Solar system, it certainly does.
And I have no tolerance for it. I don't even wish to have any contact with it.
It is called islam, it is defined by the "organization of the islamic Conference"
and I will fight it in any form to the death. At home.
The difference between my hate and theirs is that they have been constantly traveling to kill me where I live; I have no desire to visit them for any reason, other than to exact retribution.
If they were content to stay in their private hell holes, all conflict disappears. They don't even have to build a fence. Who wants to go there?
Stay where you belong and you need not ever fear us, or even care what we think.
Yes, it's that simple.
What about NAZI
GRRRRR
I can't think of a worst, more paragon example of absolutely clueless, idiotic extremely off the scale hypocrisy in all of recorded history.
Could easily be blood boiling material if one pondered it for many seconds. GRRRR
Lord, God, please deal with such hideocies ASAP, as only You can, Oh Lord.
Osama Fatwa 1998 - Radical Islam
In compliance with God's order, we issue the following fatwa to all Muslims:
"The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies--civilians and military--is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it.
We -- with God's help -- call on every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded to comply with God's order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it.
Almighty God said "O ye who believe, give your response to God and His Apostle, when He calleth you to that which will give you life. And know that God cometh between a man and his heart, and that it is He to whom ye shall all be gathered."
I prefer Hell's demons, but fascist will work in a pinch.
"...the real Islam is not what its philosophers and mystics have inferred but what is in the Quran and that is the Islam of the fundamentalist and the terrorist. The real Islam is the Islam that abuses women, that allows men to beat their wives, that imposes penalty tax on the religious minorities, that wants to dominate the world by subduing all the non-Muslims, that calls for Jihad and killing the non-believers until Islam becomes the only dominant religion of the World."
"The enemy is Islam and that is the target of my attacks. I do that, despite knowing that I have become the magnet of the hatred of fanatical Muslims and my own life could be in danger.
Yet I know that by eradicating Islam we can save the world from the dangers of a catastrophe that otherwise is looming over our heads and could cause more disaster than the 1st and 2nd World Wars combined. Eradication of Islam means restoring peace among humanity and civility, democracy and prosperity in the Muslim world."
I understand why politicians--both elected and otherwise--are loathe to openly state that ISLAM is our enemy, they are and can only be what they are, but why are individual Americans also half-stepping on this BS!?
No, it is not "radical Islam," nor any other individuals or groups within Islam who are the poor, misunderstood, hard-to-find enemy--it IS Islam itself who must be identified, war declared upon, and destroyed wholly by America! All of the various groups of Islam have home countries--the Japanese found Pearl Harbor--surely our Air Force can find these countries too.
Is PC stronger than love of our own country, our intelligence, etc.?
Apparently so.
