Senators demand closing of Saudi Academy in Washington

A small morsel of common sense. "American Senators demand Closing of Saudi Academy in Washington," from Aafaq (thanks to Sr. Soph):

(Washington – Aafaq) - On Thursday, 12 members of the United States Senate demanded that the Secretary of State, Condolezza Rice, close the Saudi Islamic Academy in Washington because of the refusal of the Saudi officials to make available for inspection the curricula that are taught in the Academy. [Full Story in Arabic]

The Saudi News Agency (WASM) said that members of the Senate demanded that the Department of State follow up on the agreement that the United States and the government of Saudi Arabia made last year on improving the freedom of religion in Saudi Arabia and stopping the export of religious extremism.

Good luck with getting State to do that.

The director of the Saudi Academy, Abdullah Al-Shabnan, held a press conference on Thursday, in which he denied the use of Saudi curricula in the school and also pointed out the curricula used do not contain any enmity toward other religions or sects.

The Saudi Academy refuses to make its curricula available for inspection to the American government or to the news media.

Why not? If they have nothing to hide, what's the big deal?

If you have to ask, you haven't been paying attention. It's the taqyia.

Parochial schools have to conform to the secular law of the land-though they may teach religion beyond what is required by law. The Saudi-A-Gas-Station ("we really practice racial aparthied at the gas station") may only get away with this because of gas. Hugh has often said that Saudi-A-Gas-Station is the focal point of much of Kuffir problems with Jihad. Guess what? He's right.

It's the gas station that is the source of 90% of the problem. This Arab racist, truly aparthied state, is the problem.

If this administration doesn't, then I hope the next administration does. I hope this becomes an issue in the Presidential contests.

A nice contempt of congress bill would fix Ms Rice's little red wagon.

Any decent human being would be ashamed to exploit people like the Doc. But his kids will go to Harvard because the "liberal"-bourgeois shit-heads can't see reality because of their PC.

I meant my post above for the Tancredo thread and have put it there.

A nice start. Now what about all those mosques and whatnot our "friends" keep building all over the US?

Why isn't this story carried in US media. Not even Fox? Did the senators write a letter or have a high tea with Condi?????

Only 12 members?
Why?
I can't help thinking of Monty Pythons Life Of Brian.
It's happening Reg!
They're stringing him up outside...

"Only 12 members?"
-- from a posting above

Indeed. Why not 100 Senators? Who could, at this point, not see what Saudi Arabia is up to, not be aware of what Saudi money -- nearly $100 billion -- has done to promote, through mosque building, and madrasa building, and the funding of carefully-targetted campaigns of Da'wa, and the moneys paid to armies of Western hirelings to deflect all criticism, or even attention, away from Saudi Arabia, to damage Infidels and their political and legal institutions, and their physical security?

Who signed, and who did not?

And why has there been no attempt by this craven and confused administration to read Saudi Arabia the riot act, and to threaten to seize Saudi-owned assets just as the assets of German nationals were seized during World War II -- unless that flow of money into the Infidel lands to pay for those mosques, those madrasas, those Da'wa campaigns, those Western hirelings, cease at once?

Encouraging, at least 12 seem to get it.
Who are the senators. They should be supported. They should be re-elected.

About time, ain't it? Odd, that the Bush administration never identified Saudi Arabia as terror-threat number one, despite that 15/19 were Saudis and that Saudi money finances, directly or ideologically, most terror attacks across the globe.

Bush failed to confront the number one source of Islamist supremacist propaganda and global jihad: Saudi Arabia.

At least a few senators have decided to take one tiny and obvious step to shutting down a madrassa in the Beltway.

When will they go after CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, MSA and all the other Saudi Wahhabi front groups?

That's it. Keep telling the Saudis to leave our Booze and Whores alone and GO HOME!

Let them fly figure Eights in their own Airspace with their big fancy Jets.

What a site. A Plane load of Rich Dudes, flying arround with no place to go, all in support of MILF.

If this administration doesn't, then I hope the next administration does. I hope this becomes an issue in the Presidential contests.

Don't hold your breath. Jihad and supremacist islam are not even on the Democrat radar screens. All they talk about is making sure muslims do not suffer the horrendous indignity of "racial" profiling. They're so damned stupid and politically correct that they now use "racism" as a collective catch-all for any type of putative discrimination or injustice; real, perceived, or imaginary. The Republicans know we have a problem but they're terrified of being instantaneously vaporized by the word of death---RACIST, despite the fact that islam is not a race. I think Romney understands the threat; McCain does not. Who knows with Guiliani. Tancredo is the only one who understands and expresses his concerns to the public, and is immediately vilified by the MSM for his trouble.

Some day, people will look back and wish they had listened to Mr. Tancredo. Right now, they prefer the soothing bullshit they read in the liberal press and hear from the liberal pundits; islam is a religion of peace that has been hijacked--blah, blah, blah. They steadfastly refuse to believe their own lying eyes.

Only a few of the members of our government fly on commercial flights so most of them don't have to worry about being blown to bits by innocent, peaceful muslims who are maligned and persecuted at airports. Those muslim voters are more important than our lives.

Such a typical reaction from a supremicist Muslim who considers himself above answering to any non-believer. How dare a non-believing Senator question the curriculim used by his exaulted holiness; Abdullah?

"McCain does not. Who knows with Guiliani"..

Susanp;

A great post, nicely said.

My take on McCain vs Guiliani differences are .., very little. Both are willing to change opinions to get the vote, to show somthing is getting done, even at the loss of the position they claim to hold to dearly. Two RINOs from different backgrounds, as far as how they will side their votes.

the problem is the State Department has never had any grasp of reality and take care of themselves first and the Saudis help them with their retirement plans and make sure that those in support of them are well taken care of the worst thing that ever happened was when oil was discovered under the Arabian Peninsula! Because it gave these primitive tribesmen the money to spread their cult of Islam around the world and because of the Saudi retirement plan for state employees were never going to see this corrupt government censored

Well, do you all want to get sick?

In Lodi they have a history book in our public schools called, Living History, that is teaching islam. Not the part that tells anyone what kind of a guy mohammed was - a rapist, enslaver, etc - but the kind that muslim kids learn - that he is the prophet of islam.

Why is this a problem? Well, it should be in a comparative history class if they are going into such detail AND if they are not then they should be mentioning every other religion and its founders. They are not.

Here is a good part - the parents are upset and fighting this. I don't know how far they are getting, but when the imam of the lodi muslim mosque was asked about teaching Christianity - a lot of nothing came of that.

I think that our public officials need to wake up and smell the roses. If one subject is good for us then the subject of other religions better be good for them too - or else take it all out and give mohammed a one sentence after thought in the history books as being the leader of the most violent 'religion' on this earth that we have.

Oops, I didn't mean a 'comparative history' class - but what I did mean was a 'comparative religion' class.

Being called racist in our politically-correctness-gone-mad society is absolutely the worst most-dreaded label one could get, worse than being called a murderer, pedophile or rapist.

Good to see at least some politicians are connecting the dots regarding saudi schools and jihad. Now if they could take the next step and prevent the damn things from being built in the first place.

Are any Muslims trustworthy? I recall a comment which stated that Saudis are building many mosques in the U.S. Why? someone asked, since there are not enough Muslims to fill them! Because they will be filled by Americans! Well, over my dead body! (Unfortunately, that is exactly what they are planning!) Since posting here, my in-box is filled with arabic trash. Has anyone else noticed this? (I never open any of them! My delete key is very busy.)

Fortunately, more and more Americans are getting hip to what Mo's gig is really about; I've been hearing/overhearing comments that could only be made by an "informed public". Americans are getting really pissed and are becoming passionate about preventing these lunatics from destroying the U.S.A.
I for one tell it like it is whenever I can, and also show no fear towards Mo's mob, in all of their many guises.
12 senators who are living in reality beats a blank. While most of our slick "boys/girls in Washington" continue to profiteer with the "men/women of the board", or choose to remain in denial, there are at least some people in political influence who dare to confront THE problem.
There are also some educators who are awakening their students to the horrors of sharia, and set the tone for lively, open, classroom discussion.

"The director of the Saudi Academy, Abdullah Al-Shabnan, held a press conference on Thursday, in which he denied the use of Saudi curricula in the school and also pointed out the curricula used do not contain any enmity toward other religions or sects."

They have no copies of the Quran or the Hadith there?

I find that preposterous. Of course they do. Ergo, their curricula promotes enmity toward other religions and sects.
