Saudi Textbooks Still Teaching Hate: Report (Jews, Christians Referred To As Apes And Swine)
National Post ^ | July 17, 2008 | Charles Lewis

Despite a promise to remove attacks on other faiths from the public school curriculum, Saudi Arabia's state-produced textbooks still refer to Jews and Christians as apes and swine, insist that Jews conspire to take over the world and on Judgment Day "the rocks or the trees" will call out to Muslims to kill the Jews, says the Washington-based Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank.

The textbooks, used by five million students in the kingdom every year, as well as in many Saudi-funded institutions outside the country, also attack homosexuals and Muslims who do not practice a fundamentalist form of Islam.

For example:

• "The punishment for homosexuality is death. The companions of the Prophet were unanimous on killing although they differed ... in the manner of killing. Some companions ... stated that a homosexual is to be burned with fire ... he should be stoned or thrown from a high place."

• "You can hardly find an example of sedition in which the Jews have not played a role."

• Zionism has achieved its aims through a variety of "destructive movements" including the Rotary Clubs and International Lions Clubs, which are "Masonic clubs based in America and they have secret agents all over the world."

One of the suggested activities for Grade 8 students is to "write a composition on the danger of imitating infidels, giving some examples of imitation among the students and then present it to his classmates."

This is coming from people that sleep with their goats.

To hell with the Saudi terrorists and those who are connected with them via business deals like the Carlisle Group. Need I mention any names?

That really is standard Islamic teaching & not a “Wahhabi perversion” of Islam.

From the view of an wealth hording monarchy, angst is best focused outwards.
