The Saudi Hate Machine

A new 89-page report by Freedom House's Center for Religious Freedom on the
involvement of the Saudi Arabian government in promoting hate in the United
States - yes, right here at home - is causing quite a stir among Washington
policy makers.  The report examined over two hundred mosques in the U.S. 
All of the documents were "disseminated, published or otherwise generated"
by the government of Saudi Arabia.  What researchers found in document
after document was a virulent Wahhabi ideology that promotes hatred and
bigotry. 

The documents teach Muslims that it is their duty to hate Christians and
Jews; they denounce democracy as un-Islamic; and argue that it is a
Muslim's duty to eliminate the nation of Israel.  And this putrid brew of
hate is readily available in mosques and Islamic centers around the country
- courtesy of our Saudi "ally."

By the way, here is an encouraging note.  The study was undertaken after
many U.S. Muslims requested the Center for Religious Freedom's help in
exposing the extremist agenda being subsidized by the Saudi government.
