It’s Time to do Something About the Saudi Mosques on U.S. Soil

It’s time to get serious about the Saudis. They’re putting their mosques onto our soil, in which they teach people to hate us.

Saudi government foments religious hatred in U.S.

What is happening in some American mosques, including a few in the Chicago area, is deeply disturbing. In certain Islamic schools, textbooks spit vitriol against Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims: “Be disassociated from the infidels, hate them for their religion.”

You see what I’m saying?

In mosque publications, America is the “Abode of the Infidel.” The idea of human and civil rights is heresy. Working women are immoral.

These views are extreme, they promote violence and they are being espoused right under our noses. We knew this was happening in France, Germany and England but we didn’t know the extent of the problem here. It is not happening in all mosques or Islamic schools, by any means, but in those select ones funded by the Saudi government to disseminate the fanatic Wahhabi-style Islam that has its demagogic roots in Saudi Arabia.

The Center for Religious Freedom just issued a discomfiting report looking at the spread of hate propaganda in America by Saudi Arabia. The center collected 200 books and other publications from mosques across the country and spent the past two years analyzing them.

“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,” writes Nina Shea, the Center’s director. In addition, they “instill contempt for America because the United States is ruled by legislated civil law rather than by totalitarian Wahhabi-style Islamic law.” Woe to Christians who should be actively hated because they stir up images of crusaders and colonists and because they are “enemies to Allah, his Prophet and believers.” Woe to Muslims who advance tolerance and human rights—they, too, are infidels. Woe to homosexuals or heterosexuals who have sex outside marriage—it is considered “lawful” to kill them.

Fifteen of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis who were indoctrinated by this vicious Wahhabi ideology.

The easiest way to do something about this is for our government to put massive diplomatic pressure on the Saudis to halt these activities. To make that happen, we are going to have to let our government know, that we do not want our country putting up with this kind of evil on our own shores.

Dear Representative:

I am writing out of great concern regarding the recent newspaper reports that mosques on U.S. soil, operated by Saudi Arabia, are teaching people to do harm to Americans. Quoting from an article that appeared on February 7th, 2005, in the Chicago Sun-Times: “In certain Islamic schools, textbooks spit vitriol against Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims: ‘Be disassociated from the infidels, hate them for their religion.’ In mosque publications, America is the ‘Abode of the Infidel.’ The idea of human and civil rights is heresy. Working women are immoral. These views are extreme, they promote violence and they are being espoused right under our noses. We knew this was happening in France, Germany and England but we didn’t know the extent of the problem here. It is not happening in all mosques or Islamic schools, by any means, but in those select ones funded by the Saudi government to disseminate the fanatic Wahhabi-style Islam that has its demagogic roots in Saudi Arabia. [...] Fifteen of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis who were indoctrinated by this vicious Wahhabi ideology.”

I feel that it is wrong for a country such as Saudi Arabia to establish institutions on U.S. soil that teach people to hate. Hate is un-American in my eyes. It is important for us to nip this in the bud, before it takes root, and generations of people living here are taught to hate.

I do not want to change our U.S. laws that protect freedom of speech. I would like to see massive diplomatic pressure put on Saudi Arabia to halt these activities on our soil.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter. I know you must be as concerned about this as I am. Together we can nip this in the bud.

Regards,
