-RetweetSaudi Hate Ideology Fills US Mosques

Fri, Jan 28, 2005 at 12:28:19 pm PST

Freedom House’s Center for Religious Freedom has completed a year-long study of documents collected from more than a dozen Saudi-funded mosques in the United States—and the study confirms what many of us had long suspected: Saudi Publications on Hate Ideology Fill American Mosques. (Hat tip: TexasSecurityMom.)

Among the key findings of the report:

* Various Saudi government publications gathered for this study, most of which are in Arabic, assert that it is a religious obligation for Muslims to hate Christians and Jews and warn against imitating, befriending, or helping them in any way, or taking part in their festivities and celebrations;

* The documents promote contempt for the United States because it is ruled by legislated civil law rather than by totalitarian Wahhabi-style Islamic law. They condemn democracy as un-Islamic;

* The documents stress that when Muslims are in the lands of the unbelievers, 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. For example, a document in the collection for the “Immigrant Muslim” bears the words “Greetings from the Cultural Attache in Washington, D.C.” of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia, and is published by the government of Saudi Arabia. In an authoritative religious voice, it gives detailed instructions on how to “hate” the Christian and Jew: Never greet them first. Never congratulate the infidel on his holiday. Never imitate the infidel. Do not become a naturalized citizen of the United States. Do not wear a graduation gown because this imitates the infidel;

* One insidious aspect of the Saudi propaganda examined is its aim to replace traditional and moderate interpretations of Islam with extremist Wahhabism, the officially-established religion of Saudi Arabia. In these documents, other Muslims, especially those who advocate tolerance, are condemned as infidels. The opening fatwa in one Saudi embassy-distributed book, published by the Saudi Air Force, responds to a question about a Muslim preacher in a European mosque who taught that it is not right to condemn Jews and Christians as infidels. The Saudi state cleric’s reply rebukes the Muslim cleric: “He who casts doubts about their infidelity leaves no doubt about his.” Since, under Saudi law, “apostates” from Islam can be sentenced to death, this is an implied death threat against the tolerant Muslim imam, as well as an incitement to vigilante violence;

* Sufi and Shiite Muslims are viciously condemned;

* For a Muslim who fails to uphold the Saudi Wahhabi sect’s sexual mores (i.e. through homosexual activity or heterosexual activity outside of marriage), the edicts published by the Saudi government’s Ministry of Islamic Affairs, and found in American mosques advise, “it would be lawful for Muslims to spill his blood and to take his money;”

* Regarding those who convert out of Islam, the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs explicitly asserts, they “should be killed;”

* Saudi textbooks and other publications in the collection, propagate 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 publications instruct that they should be veiled, segregated from men and barred from certain employment and roles;

The report states: “While the government of Saudi Arabia claims to be ‘updating’ or reforming its textbooks and study materials within the Kingdom, its publications propagating an ideology of hatred remain plentiful in some prominent American mosques and Islamic centers, and continue to be a principal resource available to students of Islam within the United States.”

The complete document, in PDF form, is available here.

This reminds me of a mohammedan who once told me that feloow mohammedans in the US often thought it was wrong to pay taxes here. Many of these mohammedans were in businesses that took in a lot of cash and/or were self-employed, and I had no doubt that they fulfilled this part of what they saw as their islamic duty.

At this point I really see no way out aside from a total war between democracy/freedom/Western-values and "Islam," however you want to define it. In documents like these, and plenty more we never see, and in their actions and words, they have declared war on us and everything we believe in. They will not stop until we stop them.

Will it be a new cold war, or a "hot war," or something else altogether? It may be too early to tell.

The books need to be identified by name, the places where they are used identified by name in their local press, and public pressure put on the administrators of the schools to renounce and return or destroy them. Failure to do so must be described as implicit support of the doctrines described. Time for a bunch of letters to the editors of local papers.

It's really pretty simple. When a 'religion' is a large-scale criminal conspiracy we pierce the veil of religion and attack it like any other criminal conspiracy. There is more than enough evidence the Wahhabis are nothing but a criminal syndicate.

When priests molest children we don't howl about freedom of religion. When Wahhabis plot to murder those who become apostates, we should have no qualms about deporting them - as the friendly option. I think there is more than enough evidence to declare Wahhabi Islam a terrorist organization, organized crime syndicate, and treat it accordingly.

Time to take out the Saudi bastards and their followers here in the U.S. We need a very, very hot war against these dangerously intolerant mo'fos.

Arab students were witnessed cheering the 9/11 attacks in a student lounge here at the local state university. You have never seen a quicker more polished cover-up of this event by the administrators of this college. Hush, Hush--we don't want the locals to know we have terrorist=loving scum on campus.

Once Zarqawri came out in his last audiotape and detailed the mindset of the islamofascists in respect to Democracy - and called for total war - we have to respond in kind and accept that we are in a total / global war.

We can't make the same mistake in 1996 when UBL declared war on the US, and we didn't take it seriously until 9/11/01.

This publication can be considered an act of war by the Saudi government against the US - and we should stuff it right back at them - to the point of barring Saudi immigration to this country until the Saudi government stops promoting the overthrow of this government.

yes they get the very money they use to pay for the hate from our own citizens. Our nation is the single largest purchaser of their oil products.

Being the spoiled greedy mutts that they are they are, they are going to ensure that their own desires are paid for first. So if we reduce the money that these oil barons get then they in turn will be spending less on the hate material that they use against us. they will also be giving less money to the terrorists that want to buy radioactive material from the old soviet union to make their dirty bombs.

Check out the movie "Dirty War" that was just aired on HBO that was originally made by BBC.

yes a single gas guzzling pig does not make a difference but collectively we do. do you not remember your American History lessons about the revolutionary war and the colonists realizing that acting as a group they could defeat the british but alone they would not make a difference?

Money is a great thing and has driven our economy to become the greatest nation on earth. Reducing the money that goes to the arabs and their terrorism machine will reduce their opportunities to challenge us and kill our citizens both in uniform and out.

I agree, except when that freedom crosses the line and becomes seditious. We need to revisit the Sedition Act.

The Blind Sheik Rahmann was convicted under the Sedition Act, and if needed, all imans / mullahs promoting Sedition in their mosques will need to stand trial and be either imprisoned or deported depending on their citizenship.

This is no different than freedom of speech not covering screaming FIRE in a crowded theater when no such danger / situation exists.

42 kelly  Fri, Jan 28, 2005 10:57:03am

We are at war and our citizens should be expected to make sacrefices. In WWII the civilians were expected to not just drive less but consume many other products.

In this war its not much to expect that we all consume less oil and give less to our enemy.

Or do you people think that the only ones that should sacrifice are those in the military and their families?

Or possibly do you people believe that you are above and superior to those that do make sacrifices?

Unfortunately the world cannot operate without oil so we're a little stuck on this point. But it's pretty sick that we're (and I mean the West here) are essentially funding the terrorism against us. It's a cruel twist of fate that the Saudis landed up with the oil. That's the head of the snake and it needs to be killed but we have to be careful not to commit suicide in the process.

50 OddsOn  Fri, Jan 28, 2005 11:04:08am

Now that's a real "religion" of peace, love and tolerance, don't you think? Incidentially, so-called "Islamic law" is a joke in the Muslim world. For example, when a group of Arab bankers was asked about the Islamic prohibition against charging interest for, say, a residential mortgage loan, they laughed and responded, "It's a simple fix. We mark up the price of the house before we make the 'interest-free' loan. Or, we simply lease the house to the borrower, who, of course, never owns it."

51 Catttt  Fri, Jan 28, 2005 11:04:20am

So - Saudi Arabia is exporting its hate and idiocy to the US.

Is the MSM picking up on it? No.

What do we need for the MSM to wake up? Mutawa'een roaming the streets, arresting and brutalizing women for such horrible crimes as riding alone in a cab or going out to dinner? Women dying in fires because the mutawa'een won't let male non-family members rescue the women?

These hate filled comments are not remarkable except insofar as most Americans still are unaware, (though not as naive as they once were) of the way Islam can be used as an ideological attack on the US.
The only true solution is that we educate ourselves. It is not a waste of time to reiterate to each other that which we know to be true in these matters, but we must also take the time to read the very substantial literature by Islamists themselves and reinforce each other as a necessary step toward informing others.
My own interpretation of the foreign policy of GW Bush is one that I would have rejected at one time as too sophisticated to eb attributable to such a direct and simple (not simplistic) man. I now have come to see that there is remarkable sophistication in his approach, to wit:
Since the Bush administration refuses to label the entirety of Islam as a despicable and stupid conglomerate of near mindless haters (a description which actually has something to be said for it), he has offered an opening to those Muslims (and there are many) who want major change. He has at one time in the name of preserving the good in Islam, attacked the evil at its core without actually saying the problem is inherent in the religion.
Religious beliefs change in the minds and hearts of believers, not through external attacks, but through internal re-evaluations.
The changes many Muslims want are not so much religious as they are econo/political. Freedom is a strong attraction and it includes economic freedom. But people believe as they act. That is, actions in one own interest can fundamentally alter what may be assumed to be ones religio/ideological assumptions. Habits of freedom of thought and generosity, when they are institutionally supported are much easier to encapsulate in a society.
Tremedous changes are now nascently underway in a part of the world that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years.
Thos changes are all to our benefit. The old saw that commercial republics ruled through democratic institutions do not make war on each other is an old saw because it is true.
I do not believe that men are so basically good that good institutions will remove the need for personal morals. However, a lot less evil is done under good institutions than bad.
Expose, expose, expose, (with aopologies to Joe Hill) all that is wrong with Islam and at the same time support as strongly as possible that which is probably the most ambitious and certainly one of the most important foreign policy ventures in the history of our country.

Take this to your local newspapers and tv media. I'm sure many of the syndicated columnists will pick up on this story. Stories on Saudi/Wahhabi influence tend to come out. One reason for that is the leftwing media sees this as an opportunity to bash Bush's too cosy relationship with the Saudis. The question is whether national tv media will lead with this story and how they will report it, how far they will spin it away from Islam.

I have such admiration for Freedom House.

Kelly,

The Saudi's (or any other ME country) aren't the only ones with oil, and lots of it. Unfortunately, Herrs Clinton and Gore pretty much ruined the domestic oil production back in '99, and the enviro-wackos won't allow new exploration or drilling (ala ANWAR).

So is my big old gas guzzlin' Buick's fault that the Saudi's are getting the profits from oil?

I don't think so. Next tree-hugger with an AlGore bumper sticker I see, I'm gonna suck his crappy Honda down my carb and blow it out the open headers.

I haven't fact checked this figure, but some people have estimated total Saudi investment in US at $860 billion dollars. That kind of money can buy quite a lot of political influence. It is also revealing of the problems in Saudi Arabia: growing unemployment, & a shrinking economy. They just don't invest much at home, so they're own economy stays dependant on oil exports.

Kelly keeps harping on the over use of evil oil by the Americans.
What she doesn't look at is this. Even if we gain independence of foreign oil, the demand for it will not cease nor decrease. That part of the supply that we now buy will be picked up and purchased by countries such as China. So the monies going in the arab coffers will not decrease.

Also she likes to demonize americans oil usage, but makes no effort to clean up his/her/its act.
Yes, what we're purchasing is aiding and abetting the enemy. But the genie is out of the bottle, so even if we aren't part of the abetting the coffers will stay fat.

However we can consume less and and in turn give less money to the saudis that pay for the very hate that they direct against us.

It's not just about the SUV's that you despise, there are many products that cannot be manufactured without oil. And it's not just us, we would need the entire world to make the effort. We have to find alternatives to oil ... dunno when that's going to happen.

Don't be too quick to jump into (ideological) bed with Michael Moore.

Think it through: Bush figured out the Saudi role in all of this by about Sept 12, 2001. He also understood that if he invaded SA straight away, we would have the entire Muslim world up against us, including Pakistan and their nukes. So the strategy was to pick them off one-by-one, and to divide them, and to get as many Muslim countries on side, or at least out of play as possible. He has been very good at this so far. Afghanistan is out, Iraq is out, Pakistan is playing nice, Syria and Iran are scared sh*tless, Egypt is sitting on her hands, & Libya has turned. The Saudis see the writing on the wall, and they are very worried. The next 4 years are going to be a real education for them.

People don't give Bush the credit for the smarts he has shown through all of this , but he has been very shrewd.

92 David Simon  Fri, Jan 28, 2005 11:26:18am

kelly - Roughly 20% of the world's proven oil reserves are in Saudi Arabia. Stop kidding yourself - we need their oil. They need us to find it, extract it and refine it for them. Conservation is not the answer to ending our symbiotic relationship with them. The only hope is an alternative fuel source.

Various Saudi government publications gathered for this study, most of which are in Arabic, assert that it is a religious obligation for Muslims to hate Christians and Jews …

Bunch of contradictory nitwits. Even when their inerrant Holy book gets one right they still manage to get it wrong.

The Saudis seem to have the advantage here. While there are probably hundreds of Wahabi mosques on American soil, each spewing anti-infidel hatred to a greater or lesser extent, Americans can do nothing inside the Magic Kingdom (precisely because, according to them, infidel feet would defile their holy soil). I'd say we've just identified the limits of multiculturalism here. In the name of tolerance--and by positioning it as religion--the enemy gets a free pass to work against us on our home turf. Sounds like a recipe for eventual world-wide sharia to me.

Offer a reasonable premium to countries that are neutral if not friendly. Declare SA to be a terror-sponsoring state on the grounds of reports like these, and decline to buy their oil. Let them sell it to the dhimmi Europeans or eat it if they can't sell it.

Re Kelly's remarks:

Saudi Arabia is not just a big oil drum. We are most certainly not their only client.

This subject is complex. For you to say "you people" drive too much and buy stuff - your bad - is so shallow. You are sooo shallow.

Saudi Arabia, for one thing, is under a lot of pressure - the religious police and the religious laws have sway there, and the Sauds long ago kowtowed to them, to stay in power. Their goverment is huge, wasteful, and full of fraud. Their birth rate is very high, with a resultant steep drop in per capita GDP and a very high unemployment rate. There are TONS of young men in Saudi Arabia, and a lot of them are not employed. They want to privatize, but it's tricky. They want more foreign investments, but lowering the taxes is hard for them to sell in-country. The exchange rate of the dollar has hurt their net. Yada yada. I could go on.

It's complex, Kelly. See if you can find your brain.

Taking down the environmental laws and regulations and restrictions on domestic oil drilling and production will help the problem alot.
All off shore oil production in California was stopped. We can't drill more in Alaska, and 1000's of wells in Texas and Oklahoma sit idle.
Building nuke plants and refinerys, along with domestic drilling again means high paying jobs for Americans, at the same time lowering our dependence on ME oil.
It's not the total solution...It's a start.. after all WE ARE AT WAR!

One more thing...

You bring up oil conservation and sacrafice and doing our part... I actually like it...

BUT- if we knew that

(1) paying X amount MORE/ gallon of gas... AND
(2) Cutting off ALL oil sales with Saudi Arabia (again- making hte price of gas go up even MORE)


would actually solve the problem- sending the Saudi's into turmoil and thus destroying their means of spreading the hate and terror---

AND that would solve terror-- I think ALL OF US would rather do it THAT way than to ever see a drop of blood spilled.


But, alas... That is not going to happen. Even if we made the sacrafices YOU WANT US TO MAKE (like we are not making ANY sacrafices at all- oy!)- it would never solve the problem. Making sacrafices is WAY okay with me-- as long as it brings results instead of some gushy feeling of feeling good about banging my head against a freakin

I don't think this is one we can fight single-handed with the rest of the known universe working against us. At what point will Europe say this is enough? And everyone else? But you are right. How can we possibly expect cooperation from other countries with the blindness that permeates our own.

Kelly, stop all this "drive less and win the war" nonsense.

Yes, the Wahhabbis use our money for lots of nefarious purposes. BUT... Aren't you forgetting that about 50-60 years ago, the ME dictatorships had less control over the oil? Do you forget these countries (i.e. Iran) nationalized industries owned by French, British, and American companies?

Expectedly, France gave up this property. Too bad UK and USA followed suit.

Instead of advocating using less, you should advocate taking back what once belonged. That would redirect the $$$ from Wahabbis towards the proper owners. And we could still drive!

We need to investigate these mosques, which we are, we need to bring the findings out into the light of day, which we are doing right now, and we need to ascertain if there is any criminal culpability. We also need to deport or deny entry to radical Imams and pass laws that prevent the Saudis from advancing their ideological campaign in US mosques.

That's all very well, but we've all been exposed to the Koran on this site; the REAL Koran... And it ain't pleasant reading. And it ain't Buddhism.

What the Wahabbi's are saying is a literal interpretation of the Koran. And there's no room for doubt.

None of us is making this up, and behind some of the cavalier statements is the knowledge that the Koran says we should all be killed or enslaved, just like the 70 million in India when the Muslims invaded that land.

Most of the time I am in agreement with the sentiments here on LGF. However I am surprised by the refusal to consider the effects of oil dependence, just because it's being argued by Kelly. Why do I sense such a fatalistic acceptance that none of our actions as consumers can affect the proliferation of Wahabbism? Don't you think that a reduction in aggregate demand for oil will reduce the equilibrium price in the world market? What do you think happens when the OPEC ministers meet to set production levels? Granted, a reduced dependence on Saudi oil will not prevent jihad from happening. But there is no denying that our reduction in demand for oil will reduce the global price and put fewer dollars in the Saudi accounts. Sure, oil goes to produce plastics and other products, but the bulk of it goes to create gasoline to runs our cars. Our electrical plants are largely coal-fired as far as I understand it. If we summoned the national will, we could definitely impact the price of oil in a big way. Unfortunately there is no broad support for taking such steps. What I get here is that no one wants to do it, but that is far different from saying that it can't or shouldn't be done. The fact is that our indulgence does have far-reaching effects, whether we choose to recognize them or not.

Please read my comment #91, if you haven't already. That's why the US hasn't whacked the Saudis (yet).

If the US did go in big and knock them off, the disruption to the worl oil supply would be huge, prices would go sky high and the Western economy would be severely strained. This would have a knock-on effect in limiting our ability to wage war. It's all well and good to get angry about the problem, but we should be cool headed and serious about how we solve the problem.

There is no dependence on Saudi oil. Here are some stats. Look at the Total amounts.

We could easily up our imports from Canada, Mexico, Venezuela (maybe, they're having some problems), and other countries to make up for the less than 12% that the Persian Gulf countries supply of our intake. Or, if you want to take on OPEC, we could just as easily make up for the less than 30% they supply.

Furthermore, if we were to do that, the upswing of imports from emerging countries will more than make up for whatever lost revenue SA has from us not buying. America boycotting the ME oil might cause OPEC to get a bit pissed and lower production - hence raising the price per barrel. This doesn't only impact us of course. The entire world would be hampered, from the poor starving folks in Darfur (gas prices are higher to bring in food and water), to the entire EU who already pay out the nose for petrol.

Oil simply isn't the issue any longer. Hindsight being 20/20, we should have purchased the entire sand heap from the camel riding Saudi's back when oil was first discovered there. That would have made things a bit different.

The embargo in '73 was in retaliation of Western support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War. OPEC cut about 7% of the total FREE WORLD production. The spike you see for the Iranian Revolution and Iran/Iraq war caused oil prices to go from $14 in '78 to $35 by '81.

They can't even manage to control their own oil prices. Why? Because they lie even to one another. When OPEC tried to set rules on production and prices in the mid '80's, countries within OPEC would over-produce and destabalize the price again.

That spike in the 90's with the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait was pure fear. They went right back down again. Even with Kuwait's oil fields burning.

We DID feel the other spikes, but none were as stringent as the one in '73.

dame your reading skills are as bad as gymnast. I never made those claims but rather people on this forum have said in their writings that I have. Big difference. I have said that the oil that we buy finances their hatred. their people don't just do things for ideology. The arab bombers that killed Jews in Israel with suicide bombs often did it only because they knew that Hussain was going to take care of their families financially. That money came from the sale of oil. Yes the US and its citizens are not the only consumers of oil but we are the bigggest. no matter how much we may want to deny it the truth is that some of the money that has gone to murders of our fellow American citizens. As a patriotic American, I am going to do everything in MY power to reduce the money that gets into the hands of arab killers. As a consumer my power like yours can be used with what we purchase and don't purchase.

By your continued large scale consumption of oil your are showing that you want to financially support the enemies of our country. Using simple deductive reasoning those that give massive amounts of money to the oil producers are in fact supporting our nation's enemies and are traitors themselves.

the less money they have means the less they will be contributing to the terrorists. being in a democracy means that we can speak with more than our votes and collectively through our individual actions we can make a difference.

There are several ways to defeat the jihad. One way is to expose the jihad, and this can only be done with the help of MSM and major broadcasters such as the BBC. At this moment in time, that is unlikely.

Another way is to defeat the jihad is on the battlefield. The invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, was from that stand point, a valid goal. However the attempt to bring democracy to muslim nations when the pre-requisite for democracy is missing, is misguided, and I believe quite futile.

The Iraq invasion then has the potential for seriously lowering the morale of American soldiers and people. I see no profit in the vast amount of treasure ($300bn and counting), and the thousand lives that have been lost in Iraq. If we had to go to Iraq, we should have gone in, destroyed whatever WMD's that we could find, and then left, with "mission accomplished".

Now the only hope I have that we hurt the jihad, is that constituent factions in Iraq will resort to violence, and eventually for civil war to break out within Iraq. I would guess that neighbouring sunni Arab nations will then come to the aid of their brethren, and in so doing, will drag the Iranians in. It will then be a straight fight between the proponents of Khomeini and those of bin Laden. That would be a suitable outcome, and a first installment in response to the 9/11 attack. It will also serve as a clear demonstration of what happens to those who trifle with the US and the Christian West. I say Christian, as the enemy does not view us as secular post-Christian, but as Christian.

I hope we get out of Iraq as soon as is politically possible, and then recognise the Christians and Animists in Southern Sudan, guaranteeing them security in the process. Such an option will hurt the jihad as nothing else, as seizing what is perceived as dar ul islam to become infidel land, is the most serious defeat that can be dealt to the jihad. That this is so, is evident from the continued cries from islamic jihadists for Andalusia, East Timor, Israel, India etc. Islamists, bin Laden mentioned these specifically, regard Andalusia, Timor and Israel as real defeats for the jihad; an unmitigated al naqba. If we go down the military road, then we have to defeat the jihad in a manner that the jihadists and the silent 'moderate muslims' themselves recognise as a defeat. Then continue to do so, till the belief of allah granting victory to muslims, is totally discredited. And Islam without the jihad is nothing.

205 gymnast  Fri, Jan 28, 2005 2:24:40pm

#199, Kelly. Since Saudi Arabia supplies us with about 12% of our oil imports and the Gulf total is about 23% of imports and imports make up about half of our oil supply, I fear the it is you who has a reading comprehension problem. Since my personal motor vehicle fleet average milage is about 28 MPG I think that leaves me just enough conservation points to tell you to go piss up a rope if you take the bus to the rope.

If a religion whose precepts condemn homosexuality, are they engaging in hate speech?
are you asking about islam or christianity? practitioners of both religions seem to to spend a great deal of effort condemning it. ]

Christian doctrine condemns homosexuality, but leave it up to God to punish. SInce Allah is a false God, they have to do the punishing. There is a MAJOR difference. Last time I looked, Christians are supposed to love sinners, Muslims are supposed to hate them. Can you say the words, "diameterically opposed"?

What's that, Ed! Can't hear ya! I'm bombin' down the road in my giant SUV, with the radio on full blast, listenin' to Rush Limbaugh! Hang on a sec!

(Turns off the radio, using one hoof.)

Okay, that's better! Hmmm, you may be right about "Kelly". Whatever she is, she always shows up when Charles runs a thread that is critical of Islam. Honestly, I think her real intent is to deflect all our criticism of Islam onto something else.

The original topic of this thread was the fact that Islamic preachers are spreading hatred of America in Saudi-supported mosques. Even if we were to start drilling in Alaska tomorrow, and installed nuclear power plants next week (which LLL's like Kelly and Proudliberals will never allow us to do---Mother Earth, doncha know) this will still be a problem, and, since the rest of the world will continue to buy oil from the Saudis, they will continue to be subsidized, even if Americans start driving futuristic air-cars, like the ones in Star Wars.

Kelly has cleverly diverted the topic of this thread to America's-wickedness-in-buying-oil. She must be channeling Arian Huffington again. (Told that girl she's gotta be careful with her crystal ball!)

Oh, and the hatred of Rush comes from the fact that people like Rush make people like Kelly realize how silly their ideas are.

/The Islamofacists also, purportedly, make lots of money in the drug trade---but don't tell Kelly that, or she'll go ballistic!

. . . And, of course, every time somebody tries to build a shopping center, or a grocery store, within walking distance of a housing development or suburb, all the little Kellys come running out screaming, "LOWERING PROPERTY VALUES! BAD FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD! BRINGING IN A BAD ELEMENT!" (Yeah, gotta watch out for those nefarious grocery store bag boys.)

Or they scream that it's disturbing the habitat of the rare, spotted frobish-newtcather. So the shopping center/grocery store, if it gets built at all, gets built ten miles away, so you have to drive there every time you want pick up a bottle of milk, or a copy of the L.A. Time to sneer at.

Then all the Kelly's scold you for being "enslaved to your car."

The Kellys of this world also like shutting down businesses, so you have to commute at least 20 miles to your job every day---each way. Then they scold you for not using rapid transit. Never mind that the rapid transit available doesn't go anywhere near your job, that buses break down (and use gas too) and that, given the recent Glendale disaster, it isn't particularely safe.

The Kelly's of this world are very good at scolding. They're not much good at offering solutions---and, no, fusion is not a solution, it's a hypothesis, a gamble.

(And Fritzie drives off in her SUV, with her bottle of milk, her copy of The Times and "Baldwin and the Mutant Lepers" blasting from her radio.)

I'll say it again. Since we're always being accused of going to war for O-I-L, let's go there and take it. How much resistance could those pathetic Saudis put up anyway? Sure, some terrorism -- the weapon of the weak, but if Kerry's right it's just a nuisance anyway.

Looks like these documents produced by the Saudi Gov't are a declaration of war.

Declaring war on the U.S. is not too smart. Are they stupid or what?

Since you are posting, you are using a computer which uses electricity which uses oil to be generated.
I suggest you look around you at the glass walls that surround you.
And noticing how you do NOT put yourself into the oil using group you insist on vilifying, that makes you duplicious as well as hypocritcal.

And you have chosen to ignore, it would not matter how much we sacrificed on reducing our usage of foreign oil, the monies that go into the arab coffers will not be reduced as that oil will be bought up by others.

And again you talk about how you are going to do all you can as a patriotic citizen, yet you give no solutions. Just more hot air rhetoric.

This project was undertaken after many Muslims requested the Center’s help in exposing Saudi extremism in the hope of freeing their communities from ideological strangulation.

We are not fighting terrorists per se.

We are fighting an ideology. Where communism tried to destroy any remnant of religion, this ideology is preached by the 'clergy' itself, making it hard for followers to dispute, since it is coming from 'on high'.

Yes - there was an article in the National Post (Canada) today, that wasn't too complimentary to the blogs. What the MSM people seem to have omitted (deliberately or through stupidity) is that bloggers have facts at their fingertips because many of them are experts in their fields.

MSM journalists - highly intellectual as they are (or like to think they are) don't have it when it comes to high quality facts.

That's a fact.

Interesting point. Look at the RatherGate mess, the journalists DID have the experts and chose not to listen to them. What does that say?

MSM journalists - highly intellectual as they are (or like to think they are) don't have it when it comes to high quality facts.

My argument would be that they have the same access as the rest of us, they just choose not to use it.

They have access, but it takes time to reach any depth. And (dare I say it) it usually takes fairly high intellectual capability to understand, especially some of the more technical stuff.

Thought so, now it makes sense. But, I think your analogy needs some work. Reno was/is an ass, no doubt. She was extremely heavyhanded on more than that occasion. Koresh was a nutbag with a cult following and LOTS of guns in a compound. He was also a dumbass to think he could get away with that.

Had he started sawing off heads or blowing up buildings he would have died just the same.

240 Gadfly  Fri, Jan 28, 2005 6:53:15pm

A theory I'll throw out for review by the group:

The Saudis see the influence of Sunni Islam fading (Iraqi election will almost certainly have a Shiite majority). They stoke up, fund and otherwise enable the radical Wahabis to do three things 1) focus anger of their populace away from the House of Saud and ensure its continuance, 2) undermine Shiite power in Iran (traditional Arab enemy) and elsewhere, and 3) if the trouble spills over to involve the US and Europe (and of course keep Isreal on the defensive) thats gravy.

241 Eric Cartman's Conscience  Fri, Jan 28, 2005 7:36:43pm

Face it folks - Bush and the Saudis ARE tight! Moore's conspiracy nonsense and bullshit aside. The fact that few people on LGF care to acknowledge it is rather unsettling. I DO NOT trust the Saudi regime(s) anymore than I do those from Iran, Syria, Morocco, or otherwise. But none of them have ever been to the Crawford Ranch. Prominent Saudis on the other hand...

This is one area I agree with the nutty left - there is nothing anti-american about wishing for alternate fuel sources so we can get OUT of that bag-o'-shit that is the Middle East...

242 Eric Cartman's Conscience  Fri, Jan 28, 2005 7:39:49pm

Oh, by the way - trusting the Saudis? No different than the fu*king moonbats bending over for the World Worker's Party. American's embracing Anti-American people to their personal peril. Bush is friends with these people. If Clinton had the head of ANSWER to Chapaqua (sic) I'd be furious! Why do we give Bush a pass on this?

He's a public school teacher.

245 Baldy  Sat, Jan 29, 2005 12:04:43am

Eric Cartman - You are right. It is inexcusable that the Saudis are considered our allies. I just don't know what we can do about it now. The funny thing about the LLL - they think the Saudis & the Israelis control the Administration. Yet, they go on and on about how Saddam was not an Islamic fundie, and couldn't have been in cahoots with Al Qaeda. The other thing I have trouble with the Saudis over, is the strange "fact" that they get into these gunfights with "deviants," and the deviants always seem to end up dead. Very convenient. They also have a history of hindering our investigations.

246 aboo-Hoo-Hoo  Sat, Jan 29, 2005 2:18:22am

Every administration, not just Bush's, has been tight with the Frauds. It dates back to our original agreements with them during WW2. Don't fucking kid yourself.

And if your still eager to find fault, conspiracy and lay blame, begin by kicking-in the head of every board member of Exxon who, for years, has been the single largest corporate investor there. After that you can move on the Brit's and Bp, the French, the Germans...

you are the sad ignorant one. Europe is not a country but a geographic area made up of a number of nations. some of those nations are attempting to act like one but are not. my argument holds true. no single nation consums more oil than the US and by using less there will be less money for the arabs to use in the spread of hate.

250 piso mojado  Sat, Jan 29, 2005 4:18:25am

Is it time for a blockade of the Saudis? Nothing goes in - nothing goes out. No oil (though that will hurt Europe more than us) true, but also no money, no hate, no Whaabism. Any non-citizen with any of that literature in their possession should be deported post-haste as it in itself is evidence of a desire to overthrow the government. The Saudis are at the root of the whole problem and should be dealt with accordingly.

251 Clio  Sat, Jan 29, 2005 7:57:57am

In 1973. The Saudis and other Arab oil producers hit the US and the Netherlands with oil embargoes.

At that time, there were very serious and knowledgable people in the US developed plans of energy independence, through development of alternative energy sources combined with a reasonable amount of conservation of energy.

The assessment of these plans is that they could make the US entirely independent of imported fuel within 10 years -- that is, by 1983.

But the plans and programs were never put into effect because they were sabotaged by the US oil companies and by other international corporations that did big business with the Arabs, for which the Arabs needed to go on collecting US dollars for their oil.

Even today, any efforts to cut loose from the Saudis -- those Saudis to whom George Bush proclaims himself "bonded" -- will meet the same kind of resistance.

252 Baldy  Sat, Jan 29, 2005 9:49:19am

Yes, you're all right that every Administration has been close to the Saudis. It's just now with all of the evidence of their complicity (?), it's more disturbing. Still, to be fair, I don't blame Presidents past or present for the relationship. I'm not sure if there's a way to respond to it properly short of all-out war. In the end, maybe the true US "villains" are the Foggy Bottomers. They seem to value "stability" more than true peace.

To those who think W is a clever man because he's "picking off" the Islamofascist countries one-by-one: while he is very slowly doing this, they are flooding the West in the millions and setting up a vast infrastructure to carry out subversion inside our countries.

By the way, we haven't won the war in Iraq. To be brief, think why: none of the terrorists "arrested" in the thousands in Iraq has been executed. In fact, we took more prisoners (1,400) than killed terrorists (1,200) in the Second Batlle of Fallujah. Bush's kind and gentle method of waging war is costing us in blood and treasure.

And when Iran or Syria, or both, develop nukes or bio-chem weapons and the means to deliver them, the entire strategic landscape will change forever. By not using the full power of the United States--by not crushing the Islamofascists quickly and violently--Bush is guaranteeing that we are going to have both a civil war and a war using weapons of mass destruction.

Bush won't even restrict Muslim immigration, or challenge their subversion in the US.

But there is still pushback in a democracy, even when you win elections with a large popular vote. If we're still fighting in Iraq by spring, Bush will face a Congressional reduction or shutdown of financing for the war. Perhaps face articles of impeachment, submitted by the Dems...but a large number of Repubs will signal their serious displeasure by not publicly defending the president.

Bush announced an ambitious global strategy of democracy as the anidote to Islamic Fascism. Well, if he can't make it stick in Iraq this year--and he hasn't been able to with the Rules of Engagement and war strategy he has in place--that doctrine will collapse much faster than he thinks.

I think Bush's timetable on the war lasted from March 2003 to January 2005 in Iraq. It signals the end of his political immunity.

Three cheers for the Center for Religious Freedom at Freedom House, and for its awesome director, Nina Shea! Nina is a hero in the fight for religious liberty and human rights. Nina's been a tireless advocate for the Christians of Southern Sudan and for all those who are threatened by radical Islam. She is also speaking out about the lack of inclusion for Christians (ChaldoAssyrian, etc.) and other minorities in Iraq.
