True enough. For all the Saudi king's "gestures" of peace and goodwill, what Saudi children are being taught on a daily basis says it all. “New Report Shows Saudi Ministry Textbooks Still Teach Extreme Intolerance,” from Market Watch, July 15:
Today the Center for Religious Freedom of the Hudson Institute released a 90-page report (http://www.hudson.org/files/pdf_upload/textbooks_final_for_pdf.pdf), 2008 Update: Saudi Arabia's Curriculum of Intolerance, with a foreword by R. James Woolsey. It was prepared in consultation with the Washington-based Institute for Gulf Affairs.This report compares the 2007-2008 textbooks that are currently posted on the website of the Saudi Ministry of Education with those analyzed in our 2006 study, and shows that the same violent and intolerant teachings against other religious believers noted in 2006 remain in the current texts.
They assert that unbelievers, such as Christians, Jews, and Muslims who do not share Wahhabi beliefs and practices, are hated "enemies." Global jihad as an "effort to wage war against the unbelievers" is also promoted in the Ministry's textbooks: "In its general usage, 'jihad' is divided into the following categories: ...Wrestling with the infidels by calling them to the faith and battling against them." No argument is made here that such references to jihad mean only spiritual and defensive struggles.
Lessons remain that Jews and Christians are apes and swine, Jews conspire to "gain sole control over the world," the Christian Crusades never ended, the American universities of Cairo and Beirut are part of the continuing Crusades, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion are historical fact, and on Judgment Day "the rocks or the trees" will call out to Muslims to kill the Jews.
They teach that it is permissible for a Muslim to kill an "apostate," an "adulterer," and those practicing "major polytheism." Shiites are among those identified as "polytheists." One lesson states that "it is not permissible to violate the blood, property, or honor of the unbeliever who makes a compact with the Muslims," but is pointedly silent on whether security guarantees are extended to non-Muslims without such a compact. Other lessons demonize members of the Baha'i and Ahmadiyya groups.
A lesson from a tenth grade text now posted on the Saudi Ministry's website sanctions the killing of homosexuals and discusses methods for doing so.
In the lessons examined in this report, the Saudi government discounts or ignores passages in the Qur'an to support tolerance.
All of these textbooks have been reissued at least once and all but two of them reissued twice, yet overall the changes to the passages in question have been minimal, and the degree of substantive change has been negligible. Taken together, the report concludes, revisions in the currently-posted texts amount to moving around the furniture, not cleaning the house.

I wonder what Obama would have to say about this. Is it poverty that's causing the Saudi kingdom to teach such hatred to its children?
Oh, that's right. The Saudi princes are mega-rich. I guess not Obama.

Teaching hatred and intolerance is part of "Muslim Outreach". Its all about reaching hearts. The best way to reach those little crumb crunchers.

An excellent article on jihad.

And now a few words from King Fahd. "I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave."
King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aziz, Jeddeh 1993

Shiites are among those identified as "polytheists."
This rift between Sunni and Shiite is a point of contention that we should capitalize on. Destroy islam from within.
the Christian Crusades never ended, that's because the jihad has never ended. Although we aren't being near as aggressive this time. Which is too bad, since we have the military advantage, but refuse to use it to win.

Absorbing the content of these vicious textbooks which are unapologetically--proudly--based on the immutable core doctrines of the Islamic "faith," the next generation of Muslim killers and sociopaths is already in the pipeline across the globe--including in Iraq, Afghanistan, Britain, and the United States.
To paraphrase J.R.R. Tolkien: Islam--an army built for a single purpose--to destroy the world of men.
Jihad is forever for all those pious Islamic moms and dads everywhere. Jihad is the Golden Rule of Islam--the sure ticket to a pornographic Islamic Heaven.

Would this be a surprise to anyone other than our policy makers?

As for the Interfaith Conference the King is welcoming everyone to in Spain, the sponsor ladies & germs is the Muslim World League and it's president al-Turki, both defendants in the 9/11 civil suit for their ties to Al Qaeda. The Muslim World League (an arm of the Saudi government) of course, birthed so many of the charities and front groups for Al Qaeda, with collusion of Saudi banks, princes, and the al-Rajhi family, it makes the head spin. This is whom the likes of the Archbishop of Washington, Desmond Tutu, et al attending are choosing to honor and dignify with their presence.
