Whither The Fool?

REPORT: Saudi Publications On Hate Ideology Fill American Mosques (FreedomHouse.Org)

According to the Preface to this Report, Freedom House was “[f]ounded more than sixty years ago by Eleanor Roosevelt, Wendell Willkie, and other Americans concerned with the mounting threats to peace and democracy, Freedom House has been a vigorous proponent of democratic values and a steadfast opponent of dictatorship.”

The report surveys a large body of publications that have been distributed in American Islamic mosques, and funded by the government of Saudi Arabia. Our “friends” the Saudis appear to have a lot of ’splainin’ to do. However, whether our government–which unfortunately does seem to pick and choose which terrorist-sponsoring governments it will pressure and which it will not–will actually do anything about this is a pertinent question in my mind.

Some excerpts from these publications quoted in this Report are as follows:

�..[I]t is basic Islam to believe that everyone who does not
embrace Islam is an unbeliever, and must be called an
unbeliever, and that they are enemies to Allah, his Prophet and
believers.�.� [Document No. 2]

– Report, Page 19.

�..To be dissociated from the infidels is to hate them for their
religion, to leave them, never to rely on them for support, not
to admire them, to be on one�..s guard against them, never to
imitate them, and to always oppose them in every way
according to Islamic law.�.� [Document No. 45]

– Report, Page 20.

�..Whoever believes that churches are houses of God and that
God is worshipped therein, or that what Jews and Christians do
constitutes the worship of God and obedience to Him and His
Prophet, or that God likes such practices and approves of them;
and whoever assists them to keep their churches open and to
establish their religion, and does so out of a feeling of kinship
or out of a sense of obedience�..whoever does all these things
is an infidel.�.� [Document No. 52].

– Report, Page 21.

�..It is forbidden for a Muslim to be first in greeting an
unbeliever, even if he has a prestigious position.�.� [Document
No. 44]

– Report, Page 26.

“[I]nfidels can visit Muslims in their homes as long as the women
of the household are covered and segregated, and only in order
to preach Islam to them.” [Document No. 52]

– Report, Page 27.

�..[O]ur doctrine states that if you accept any religion other than
Islam, like Judaism or Christianity, which are not acceptable,
you become an unbeliever. If you do not repent, you are an
apostate and you should be killed because you have denied the
Koran.�.� [Document No. 55]

– Report, Page 38.

�..It is forbidden for a Muslim to become citizen of a country
[such as the United States] governed by infidels.�.� [Document
No. 44]

– Report, Page 39.

�..[Democracy is] responsible for all the horrible wars�.�.the
number of wars it started in the 20th century alone is more than
130 wars with more than 120 million people dead; not counting
victims of poverty, hunger and disease.�.� [Document No. 1]

– Report, Page 43.

�..To be true Muslims, we must prepare and be ready for jihad
in Allah�..s way. It is the duty of the citizen and the
government. The military education is glued to faith and its
meaning, and the duty to follow it.

�..Preparing the weapons for war and possessing them; even
better than that is building special factories for manufacturing
military vehicles, tanks, rockets, planes, and other things
needed in modern warfare.�.� [Document No. 28]

– Report, Page 57.

It goes on. So much for the mild definition of jihad as a “struggle with the inner self,” at least so far as the Wahabbis are concerned!

We have a problem. If we don’t find some way to deal with it, jihad may well come to us no matter what definition we wish to accept.
