 A
Grotesque Protection Racket
Wahabi's export global fanaticism…
[Larry Stirling] 1/19/06
It didn't
take long for me to get an answer to the question I posed in
a recent column concerning whether it is possible to be both
a Muslim and an American citizen.
According
to "Document 44" published and distributed by the
Saudi Arabian embassy: "It is forbidden to be a Muslim
and to become a citizen of a country governed by infidels." (That's
us!)
I read a
report entitled "Saudi
Publications on Hate Ideology Invade American Mosques."
There are
of course millions of Muslims. And each practices his or her
religion in the best way they can given their circumstances
and understanding.

And most
live in "Muslim countries," so dealing with "infidels" is
just not an issue on a day-to-day basis.
Muslims,
as most people, simply want to get through the day safely with
enough income to support their families.
However there
is one sect of the Muslims that is entirely different. They
are called the "Wahabi's" and they are native to
Saudi Arabia.
The Wahabi's
are homicidally adamant that their duty is to follow the letter
of the Koran and spread, and impose by force if necessary,
their faith and earthly government around the world including
right here in San Diego through the Masjid Abu Bakr Mosque.
Their jingoistic
worldview would be of little interest to us except for one
very important fact. And that fact is that the Saudi Arabian
government past and present sponsors them.
And we Americans
are totally ambiguous about the Saudi government because of
one three-letter word: oil.
The Saudi
government is not a democracy. The Saudi family is in power
as a result of a conquest of the oil-bearing vicinities in
1924.
The discovery
of massive petroleum deposits there put them in the driver's
seat in regards to the world's economy.
Constrict
the oil supply and lifeblood of the world's wealth would congeal.
Little would move; trade would slow; roads would deteriorate;
and people would freeze in their homes.
The Saudi's
are calling a lot of the shots in the world.
Up until
about 30 years ago, according to the report, the Saudi's were
an affable group sending many of their family to visit, learn,
and even live (and party) in the United States.
But then
the pesky Wahabi's started pushing them around.
Since the
chubby guys in robes were so comfortable with their money and
harems, they were not prepared to duke it out with a bunch
of fanatics.
So they made
a "Faustian bargain," if there ever was one.
The Saudi
family agreed to both finance and diplomatically support the
Wahabi's in the worldwide exportation of their fanatical beliefs
on the sole condition that the Wahabi's support the Saudi family
at home.
It was the
normally soft-spoken former Secretary of State George Shultz
who called this arrangement "a grotesque protection racket." And
so it is.
Saudi Arabia's
new King Abdullah said recently, during a Barbara Walters ABC
interview, that he would "fight for 30 years to get rid
of Al Qaeda." Notice he didn't say anything about shutting
down the Wahabi's.
Nothing has
changed since 9-11. And it is not by accident that 15 of the
19 murderers in New York were Saudi citizens.
With their
massive Saudi-government support, the Wahabi's are reported
to have built and presently finance 90 percent of the mosques
in the United States.
They finance
most of the children's Muslim schools in the United States.
The Wahabi's
finance most, if not all, of the Muslim clerical training in
the United States.
Since they
are the only clerical schools, they are the source of Muslim
chaplains for our military and our prisons.
Most Americans
know little about the Muslim religion. We are uncomfortable
judging others. Plus most of the hate material circulated by
the Wahabi's is in Arabic, which few of us speak.
So they can
communicate their evil at will while communicating to us that
they are "a religion of peace" in English.
Material
for this report was culled from Mosques around the nation.
Sadly, a plurality of the material came from the mosque right
here in my hometown of San Diego.
Many of the
hate-filled schools are funded directly by the Saudi family.
Some of the employees of mosques and schools enjoy Saudi diplomatic
status.
The Saudi
government itself publishes much of the hate material.
There is
a chapter in the report for each of us.
If you are
an atheistic American, they have it in for you. If you are
a Christian American, you are an infidel. If you are a Jewish
American, they reserve special venom for you. And if you are
a non-Wahabi Muslim, you are also in trouble.
The constitution
is not a suicide pact.
Come on Mr.
Attorney General, shut these guys down! -one-
