Have the Saudis been financing terror in Australia? From the Australian via The Advertiser, with thanks to Twostellas:
A VISITING Saudi Arabian government delegation was summoned to a meeting with senior Canberra bureaucrats this month to discuss Australia's concerns about the kingdom's financing of terrorism.The Saudi officials had been in Australia several days to meet Islamic community and business leaders before the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade learned of their whereabouts and arranged a meeting through the Saudi Arabian embassy.
A member of the delegation from the Ministry for Islamic Affairs and Endowment told The Weekend Australian it was here to sort out problems with the lucrative business of exporting halal meat to Saudi Arabia.
But members also met trustees raising $2.65million for the controversial purchase of a mosque in southwestern Sydney.
Supporters of hardline Islamic cleric Sheikh Abdul Salam Mohammed Zoud have bought the mosque and must raise the full amount before the July 30 settlement date.
Sheikh Zoud preaches at the prayer hall around the corner whose congregation has included Faheem Lodhi, who is in custody charged with committing an act in preparation for a terrorist attack.

Hmmm, this might explain the high number of secure annon proxy + server connections out of that area lately....
The world needs to wake up to the threat that Saudi Arabia plays in the terrorist movement today.
Nostrodamus
Aye. Aye. Saudi Arabi is No 1 Enemy of the West
with its smiling Public face and treacherous Black
Heart. Half these damn mosques would never have been funded except for these Wanhabbi Bastards -
am living in a town with one of them!! Don't know what we can do but KNOW WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO...
Then why do so many people here hate Michael Moore and support George Bush?
Bush is closely involved with the Saudi's and Michael Moore is spotlighting that.
Why not vote Bush out, and vote in some-one with no Saudi links at all?
Yeah John Kerry, who will take the fight to them huh?
Voltaire-people hate Michael Moore because he is a two faced slob-he rants about the problems involved within the upper echelon of society yet he himself lives in multi million dollar mansions, he informs the uninformed with twisted views of half truths. His documentaries contain falsified and overexaggerated theories. and sorry to say this but the Saudis-as shitty as a people they are they have a great amount of wealth invested into our economy, and in effect they also have a great deal of say on foreign policy. If they were to pull out of the companies they have invested in or actually own in the U.S. the results could be pretty bad. Dont point fingers at Bush, it was Carter who screwed up the Alaskan Oil Pipleline and gave dibs to Asian countries for the oil to increase worldwide wealth of the dollar(sorry to those who already knew this)-we had to go elsewhere----and now in turn the Saudis are blackballing us-
Voltaire;
That BS about Bush being so close to the Saudi's is hogwash, largley an invention of the loony left and Micheal Moore.
In fact Bush has put more preasure on the Saudi's than any other president.
Just because he keeps diplomacy doesn't mean he's in a conspiracy with them.
If you want to point fingers at shitty government, look to the Democrats. Just what did Clinton do in his 8 years? NOTHING!!!!!! (except get his knob polished) and bomb the wrong side in Bosnia, and blow up an asprin factory.
Lets not forget removing a legitimate government in Haiti and installing a lunatic dictator as well, which caused the latest uprizing again.
So who exactly do you have in mind to elect instead of Bush? John kerry? The man who sold out the USA to the communists? The man responsible for tet, and the extermination of a whole race of people by the North Vietnamise?
We see what kind of inner circle Kerry has,all dishonest crooks, like sandy Berger. Strange how Kerry's Anti-terror Plan was suddenly removed from his web site, it was based on info from stolen material. Crooks, the lot of them, and they undermined the entire country. Flip Flop kerry couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it. He's a compulsive liar. His whole life is a lie.
