And they can arrest “Zionists”.
Tehran’s attorney Saeed Mortazavi delivered the detention verdict of 25 Zionist commanders and criminals to IRI’s international police on Sunday.
Due to Tehran attorney’s request from international police to summon 25 Zionist commanders and criminals, this department started its measures to pursue these persons.
After receiving the verdict, the general office of international police requested the summons (Red Notice) of these persons from the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO) in official and international procedures. The issue has been put on ICPO’s agenda.
I’m serious - they really think this. They have a general office of international police (Note that this is not a “specific” office). The have summons - and they call it a Red Notice (? - does that mean they have different colors for different days - kind of like drug tests?).
They have an International Criminal Police Organization - with things like “official and international procedures” (I’d like to see that procedural document).
And it sounds like they all just do this at the request of some dumb ass lawyer in Tehran.
I guess they just waltz into Israel and arrest them. That’d be funny.
I’ve been laughing so hard over this one my eyes are watering.
I wonder if Alan Greenspan is a “Zionist”? Think he’s on the list?
How about Streisand?
Or Harry Reid?
There’s just so much a comedian could do with this story.
I wish I was funny. This is a hoot.

Something that hasn’t been carried by the Antique Media that I can find is this item about the “plague” wiping out a terrorist training camp in Algeria.
From the Counterterrorism Blog:
New information has surfaced in the past few days seeming to confirm that Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb terrorists had died of plague.
I explored the different possibilities behind such an occurrence in an article in the Middle East Times.
You can read it here.
Here is an excerpt:
In the middle of the massive coverage of U.S. President Barack Obama’s inauguration, a rather troublesome news story emerged. Unfortunately, it failed to get the coverage it deserves. If confirmed, it deserves the full attention of the Obama administration: the story has to do with bio-terrorism.
The story began with a Jan. 6 report in the Algerian newspaper Echorouk that a number of terrorists had died of the plague in one of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) training camps in Tizi Ouzou. Another Algerian newspaper En-Nahar, affirmed that 50 terrorists have been diagnosed with the plague, 40 of whom have already died.
Now some analysts dismissed outright this story saying it was totally fallacious. But a few observations at this point give credibility to this story, even though one cannot be sure of the provenance of the plague. Consider the following:
1. Algerian authorities have been totally silent. Reliable sources usually willing to share information declined to comment on this report. As can be expected, Algerians authorities were not too pleased that the story was confirmed by American sources. Indeed the Washington Times confirmed through a senior U.S. intelligence official that an incident had taken place at an AQIM training camp that had to be shut down as a result.
My question is - was it the al-Qaida terrorists that were testing bio-terrorism of did the Algerian government plant it?
I’m leaning on the al-Qaida guys - they ain’t that smart.

Bill Roggio at “The Long War Journal” carries a comment linked from a Reuters article on how well the presumptuos Taliban love the soothing words from obambi regarding the closure of Guantanamo Bay:
The Taliban told U.S. President
Barack Obama on Tuesday that his plan to close Guantanamo Bay prison camp was a “positive step” but peace was only possible if he withdraws U.S. forces from Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Taliban, toppled in the 2001 U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan, also told the new president that sending more troops to Afghanistan “and the use of force against the independent peoples of the world, has lost its effectiveness.”
The Reuters article goes on quoting the Taliban spokesman:
“If Obama is right and, according to his words, wants to open a new page based on peaceful interaction built on mutual respect with the Islamic world, the first thing he has to do is to stop and annul all these procedures, which were created according to Bush’s criminal policy,” it said.
“He must completely withdraw all his forces from the two occupied Islamic countries (Afghanistan and Iraq), and to stop defending Israel against Islamic interests in the Middle East and the entire world,” the Taliban message said.
I just love it when the enemy (the Taliban has vowed to eliminate the West) agree with the ruling class of the most powerful nation of the West on who is the bad guy. And according to the Taliban - and the left - that would be us.Now obambi’s has given his very first interview - to Al Arabiya, one of the most anti-semetic, jihad supporting, militant Islam satellite networks where he said (among other idiocies):
“I think it is possible for us to see a Palestinian state — I’m not going to put a time frame on it — that is contiguous, that allows freedom of movement for its people, that allows for trade with other countries, that allows the creation of businesses and commerce so that people have a better life.”
Right. Is he really that naive? This interview said absolutely one thing to the Arab world and, more importantly, to the Islamic terrorists - the United States will henceforth deal with Muslims from an apologetic point of view. And we will now bargain and negotiate from a position of weakness.
That’s all the radical Islamic world saw.
Besides,the only thing Hamas and the Palestinians have “created” in 30 years is an efficient tunnel system for importing Iranian arms. Of course, we have helped with that by donating (in 2005 dollars alone) 348 trillion. I would think they could afford a rocket. Or two.
Time to sing some more “kumbaya”.

Just the kind of guys you want covering your ass and providing security:
The leader of the Taliban-controlled district of Swat in Pakistan’s northwest has ordered more than 50 political and tribal leaders to appear before a sharia court within a week or face “dangerous consequences.”
Mullah Fazlullah, Swat’s radical Taliban leader, issued the order in a broadcast over his illegal FM radio channel after convening the Taliban shura, or council.
Well, if I lived in Swat I’d certainly feel safer. I’m almost positive all those people will show up for a shot at a fair trial - or maybe just a shot.
Swat used to have a thriving tourist business. But Mr. Fazlullah has seen fit to, well, blow up the attractions. And dumb down the kids while he’s at it:
Fazlullah has successfully organized a campaign opposing polio vaccinations and has forced the closure of girls’ schools throughout the region. More than 200 schools have been destroyed in Swat since fighting began in 2007.
The fighting has destroyed Swat’s once thriving tourist industry. Fazlullah’s forces have burned down the popular ski lodge and bombed the lifts.
Just all sorts of positive news. I can’t wait to read a report on how well the Sharia justice system worked on these “trials”.
And that illegal FM radio channel wouldn’t be allowed in America without an FCC license.
Just sayin…

One of the most notorious terror groups in Pakistan uses Pakistani law to cover its growth.
“Lashkar-e-Taiba” is the same group that was responsible for the Mumbai, India attacks. So to get around being “banned” by the Pakistani government, the terror group simply changes their name. The people stay the same but Pakistan refuses to act because they already “cracked down” on the old group. When the attacks occurred on Mumbai, the group was called “Jamaat-ud Dawa” since the “Lashkar-e-Taiba” group was supposedly illegal. Since Mumbai, the United States has branded the Mumbai group, Jamaat-ud Dawa, a terrorist organization.
Enter the chameleon - they are now called (don’t try to remember this) Tehreek-e-Tahafuz Qibla Awal. Don’t try to pronounce it either - you may hurt yourself. But they’ll be around a while - they just had a big rally in Lahore, Pakistan. Flew the same flag. And the big speaker was from Lashkar-e-Taiba - er, I mean “Jamaat-ud Dawa“. Or whatever. Bill Roggio is keeping up with them.
The next thing terrorists will learn is the word “metamorphisis”. This will allow us to call them names without listening to them require us to die.
Right. In your frickin dreams.
I’m sure glad Pakistan is stable and on our side. (Refer to previous sentence)

Iran and Pakistan are currently bitching and moaning about the cartoons that appeared in a Swedish paper that make Mohammed look like the dog he is.
Iran summoned a Swedish diplomat to its foreign ministry on Monday to protest against a cartoon in a Swedish newspaper depicting the head of Prophet Muhammad on a dog’s body, Sweden’s foreign ministry said.
“Gunilla von Bahr, Sweden’s charge d’affaires, was summoned to the Iranian foreign ministry today where she received a protest from the Iranian government,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Anna Björkander told AFP.
The Iranian government told Von Bahr the cartoon was “offensive to Prophet Muhammad,” Björkander said, refusing to disclose any further details of the meeting.
The cartoon was drawn by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, whose series of drawings of the prophet as a dog have sparked a controversy in Sweden. Several art galleries refused to display the sketches amid fears of angry reactions from Muslims.
The Orebro local newspaper Nerikes Allehanda published one of the drawings on August 18 to illustrate an editorial on self-censorship and freedom of religion.
So far, Sweden and the newspaper are standing firm. We’ll see.
Nerikes Allehanda editor-in-chief Ulf Johansson met with Lamhamdi but refused to apologize for the cartoon, which was part of an Aug. 19 editorial criticizing several Swedish art galleries for refusing to display a series of prophet drawings by Vilks.
“They say they are offended and I regret that, because our purpose was not to offend anyone,” Johansson told The Associated Press. “But they are asking for an apology and a promise that I never again publish a similar image … and that I cannot do.”
Naturally, if you cover the Virgin Mary in a burqa and stick a towel on the head of Jesus, that’s no problem for Islam as Neptunus Lex points out:
Thousands of angry Christians poured into their businesses Thursday morning, as word leaked out about an Australian art show featuring a holographic image of Jesus morphing into Osama bin Laden. Hundreds of people went uninjured and no one was killed, while shops throughout the Christian world opened their doors, citing a lack of security concerns. Hundreds of Australian flags went untorched while Australian beer was poured into glasses in pubs on the eerily quiet streets of Christendom.
Ah yes, all those Christian riots… I remember the last one was about, uhhhh, well….
Actually, I don’t recall any Christian riots. And in Austrailia, where burqa Mary and Osama Jesus are depicted as art, there didn’t seem to be any reported threats of death to non-Christians because of it.
Funny, that.
Then again, it just makes me sleepy to hear about “another” insult to Islam.

The ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) is having a “conference” this weekend and it has caused several lawmakers to criticize the Justice Department for supporting this conference by participating in it:
Republican lawmakers are urging the Justice Department not to participate in a convention held by the Islamic Society of North America — a group named as an unindicted co-conspirator in an ongoing terrorism-financing case.
In a letter to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, Reps. Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and Sue Myrick of North Carolina called the Justice Department’s involvement a “grave mistake.”
“In light of the threat that our nation is currently facing from radical jihadists, and because of the president’s commitment to fighting the war on terror on all fronts, we believe it is a grave mistake to provide legitimacy to an organization with extremist origins, leadership and a radical agenda,” the lawmakers said.
Of course, the ISNA is a classical front group for the Muslim Brotherhood and also an unidicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial now in progress. But the ISNA and CAIR are brothers of the same family whose funding is predominantly from two countries - Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. In another article which simply recites the facts, Investor’s Business Daily (not exactly the most “politically motivated” publication one could find for this) indicates the deep involvement of CAIR and ISNA sources to Mecca:
But many of the things CAIR’s leaders claim and what we later learn from the factual record don’t square.
For instance, they’ve claimed that they get no foreign support and that their funding comes from local dues. In fact, the bulk of their support comes from two Arab countries tied to 9/11 - Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
They’ve claimed that the size of the Muslim population in America is 7 million. In fact, it’s closer to 2 million.
They’ve claimed that they’re mainstream American patriots, when in fact they’ve told Muslim audiences that they want the Quran to replace the Constitution as the “highest authority in America.”
They’ve also claimed that they don’t support terrorism, even as three senior employees have been jailed in terror-related cases.
Yea, well, actions speak louder than words. And words are all about the game that CAIR and the ISNA are playing. Their actions are coming under more and more scrutiny by the Justice Department and by Americans. From the same article comes, again, simple facts:
For the first time, evidence in a major federal terror case puts CAIR’s current executive director — Nihad Awad — at a Philadelphia meeting of alleged Hamas leaders that was secretly recorded by the FBI.
After the Associated Press last week reported the bombshell, CAIR denied claims of ties to Hamas. “That’s one of those urban legends about CAIR,” said Parvez Ahmed, CAIR’s chairman. “It’s fed by the right-wing, pro-Israeli blogosphere.”
In fact, the evidence was revealed by an FBI agent who testified at the terror-financing trial under way in Dallas.
And that ISNA conference that legislators don’t want the Justice Department to support this weekend? Guess who the keynote speaker is? Keith Ellison - America’s Muslim Congressman. From Little Green Footballs:
As we noted yesterday, several Republican lawmakers have called on the Justice Department not to participate in a conference held this weekend by the Islamic Society of North America—a Muslim Brotherhood front group named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror trial.
Despite those troubling connections, Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison will be a keynote speaker at the conference and will also participate in a panel discussion featuring Siraj Wahhaj—an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, who has openly expressed a desire to see the US government replaced by a caliphate.
From the ISNA program (available at their site) for Saturday, September 1, 2007:
12:15-2:30 p.m. Community Service Recognition Luncheon — Grand Ballroom-Hyatt Regency
The Mahboob Khan Community Service Award will be presented to a prominent community leader for his/her outstanding service to the Muslim community in North America. Check at the ISNA booth in the bazaar for tickets. (Tickets are $200, if seats are still available).
Keynote Speaker: U.S. Congressman Keith Ellison
That’s not all - Ellison was to be the “Grand Marshall” of the parade in New York for “American Muslim Day”:
According to one blog written by Ellison supporter Abdi Aynte, the Congressman’s office claims that he “declined the offer to be the grand marshal a long time ago because he has other obligations in the district.” Yet a flyer announcing Ellison as Grand Marshal of this year’s parade was placed on MFA’s website just last week. The flyer contains a picture of Ellison and reads, “22nd American Muslim Day Parade… Grand Marshall Congressman Keith Ellison and other National Muslim Leaders.”
The change of content on the MFA site has fueled speculation that the Congressman had cancelled his appearance due to recent reports about the extremism of individuals and groups that are or have been associated with the parade. Past Marshals of the parade have been found to be Islamist radicals. They include unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Siraj Wahhaj, and accused death squad leader of the 1971 Bangladesh genocide, Ashrafuzzaman Khan. As well, many of the organizations co-sponsoring the parade have various ties to militant Islamic groups.
But there’s nothing to worry about here. As CAIR notes - it’s just a support group for Muslims. And for all that support, they get to train their kids in madrassas - on US public tax dollars. Michelle Malkin has that.
Seems that you can tell exactly when CAIR and the ISNA want to bash the truth.
Whenever they open their mouth.

On a post at Little Green Footballs comes this report of all the things you can and cannot bring into Saudi - as a visitor. Like, of all the places I could go on vacation, Saudi doesn’t make it to the top 10,000.
Despite a series of initiatives aimed at generating foreign tourism, the Saudi Arabian government continues to bar Jews and Christians from bringing items such as Bibles, crucifixes and Stars of David into the country and is threatening to confiscate them on sight, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
“A number of items are not allowed to be brought into the kingdom due to religious reasons and local regulations,” declares the Web site of Saudi Arabian Airlines, the country’s national carrier.
After informing would-be visitors that items such as narcotics, firearms and pornography may not be transported into the country, the Web site adds: “Items and articles belonging to religions other than Islam are also prohibited. These may include Bibles, crucifixes, statues, carvings, items with religious symbols such as the Star of David, and others.”
Contacted by the Post, an employee of Saudi Arabian Airlines in New York, who would only give her name as Gladys, confirmed this rule was in force. “Yes, sir,” she said, “that is what we have heard, that it is a problem to bring these things into Saudi Arabia, so you cannot do it.”
An official at the Saudi Consulate in New York, who declined to give her name, told the Post that anyone bringing a Bible into the country or wearing a crucifix or Star of David around their neck would run into trouble with Saudi authorities.
“You are not allowed to bring that stuff into the kingdom,” the consular official said. “If you do, they will take it away,” she warned, adding, “If it is really important to you, then you can try to bring it and just see what happens, but I don’t recommend that you do so.”
Asked to explain the policy, the official said, “Every country has rules about what can or cannot enter.”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just that usually “what can and cannot enter” is connected to something hazardous.
I guess it has something to do with all those diseases you can get with a crucifix.
Oh, by the way, just to indicate the interest in Saudi’s toleration of other cultures there were well over 1700 comments to this post.
UPDATE:
Of course, the Dutch banning the Koran would be considered “racist”.

Amir Taheri has an article in WSJ.com’s Opinion Journal which supports the White House claims that Iran’s mullahs are losing support from the common folk.
It is early dawn as seven young men are led to the gallows amid shouts of “Allah Akbar” (Allah is the greatest) from a crowd of bearded men as a handful of women, all in hijab, ululate to a high pitch. A few minutes later, the seven are hanged as a mullah shouts: “Alhamd li-Allah” (Praise be to Allah).
The scene was Wednesday in Mashad, Iran’s second most populous city, where a crackdown against “anti-Islam hooligans” has been under way for weeks.
The Mashad hangings, broadcast live on local television, are among a series of public executions ordered by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad last month as part of a campaign to terrorize an increasingly restive population. Over the past six weeks, at least 118 people have been executed, including four who were stoned to death. According to Saeed Mortazavi, the chief Islamic prosecutor, at least 150 more people, including five women, are scheduled to be hanged or stoned to death in the coming weeks.
The latest wave of executions is the biggest Iran has suffered in the same time span since 1984, when thousands of opposition prisoners were shot on orders from Ayatollah Khomeini.
Ahmanutjob’s effort at “controlling” the population’s hearts and minds isn’t going well. Free trade unions and universities have been targeted specifically. And Taheri notes that Ahmanut’s effort at putting up walls is obvious, even to the casual observer:
The nationwide crackdown is accompanied with efforts to cut Iranians off from sources of information outside the Islamic Republic. More than 4,000 Internet sites have been blocked, and more are added each day. The Ministry of Islamic Orientation has established a new blacklist of authors and book titles twice longer than what it was a year ago. Since April, some 30 newspapers and magazines have been shut and their offices raided. At least 17 journalists are in prison, two already sentenced to death by hanging.
Nothing like good tyranny to get the masses on your side.

Unindicted co-conspirator CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) is doing their best to intimidate anyone and everyone who may criticize or repudiate the 7th Century form of Islamic beliefs. CAIR has ignored the mainstream mood of Americans on suing the “John Does” in the “Flying Imams” case. The Becket Fund, a non-profit legal fund defending the “John Doe’s” filed an amicus brief in Minnesota District Court. The meat & potatoes of that brief are:
”These citizens attempted to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their fellow passengers. For this, they are dragged into federal court and threatened with humiliation, expense, and liability,” the papers said. “This harassment is nothing less than legal terrorism — an attempt to change public behavior by threatening to impoverish and destroy at random the lives of those whom plaintiffs see as their enemies. These claims should not be entertained.”
Naturally, CAIR feels that to avoid any suggestion of Islamophobia, they just want to have them say, in court, that they meant no harm:
Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), said he “does not think this legislation would prevent that lawsuit because there is a good faith provision in the legislation.”
“And to determine whether the reports are made in good faith, you might still have to ask them in a court of law,” Mr. Hooper said on MSNBC.
Now the CAIR Intimidation Campaign of 2007 rolls on as they also threaten the Young Americans Foundation (YAF). The YAF has planned a conference to include Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch as a speaker on their program. Spencer is scheduled to speak at George Washington University as part of YAF’s annual National Conservative Student Conference.
In response, CAIR’s lawyer pre-threatened the YAF:
This same organization, CAIR, is demanding that YAF either withdraw its invitation to Spencer or take alternative steps to prevent any false remarks from being made.
A letter from Joseph Sandler, an attorney representing CAIR, addressed to YAF President Ron Robinson, calls upon YAF officials to make a decision before “close of business” Wednesday, Aug. 1.
The letter:
CAIR doesn’t even want anyone to have a platform for criticizing Islamic intolerance.
Hot Air also notes the response of the YAF:
Jason Mattera, spokesman for YAF, responded to the CAIR complaint:
“CAIR can go to Hell and they can take their 72 virgins with them.”
My kind of guy.
Hot Air also notes that CAIR’s attorney, Joseph Sandler, has impeccable credentials - as a Democrat:
From February 1993 until May 1998, Mr. Sandler served on the staff of the DNC as general counsel. He continues to serve in that position through his law firm.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

You would think they had better sense. You would think that denial in the face of all the facts would likely cause some changes. But no - and I’m not talking about dumocrats.
In a recent article in the LA Times, Ned Parker details the Saudi involvement in the Iraq War. It’s not a pretty picture. Apparently Cheney’s visit in May hasn’t done much to impress the Saudi’s.
About 45% of all foreign militants targeting U.S. troops and Iraqi civilians and security forces are from Saudi Arabia; 15% are from Syria and Lebanon; and 10% are from North Africa, according to official U.S. military figures made available to The Times by the senior officer. Nearly half of the 135 foreigners in U.S. detention facilities in Iraq are Saudis, he said.
Fighters from Saudi Arabia are thought to have carried out more suicide bombings than those of any other nationality, said the senior U.S. officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the subject’s sensitivity. It is apparently the first time a U.S. official has given such a breakdown on the role played by Saudi nationals in Iraq’s Sunni Arab insurgency.
He said 50% of all Saudi fighters in Iraq come here as suicide bombers. In the last six months, such bombings have killed or injured 4,000 Iraqis.
The situation has left the U.S. military in the awkward position of battling an enemy whose top source of foreign fighters is a key ally that at best has not been able to prevent its citizens from undertaking bloody attacks in Iraq, and at worst shares complicity in sending extremists to commit attacks against U.S. forces, Iraqi civilians and the Shiite-led government in Baghdad.
The problem casts a spotlight on the tangled web of alliances and enmities that underlie the political relations between Muslim nations and the U.S.
Oh, and there’s this:
Iraqi Shiite lawmaker Sami Askari, an advisor to Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, accused Saudi officials of a deliberate policy to sow chaos in Baghdad.
“The fact of the matter is that Saudi Arabia has strong intelligence resources, and it would be hard to think that they are not aware of what is going on,” he said.
Askari also alleged that imams at Saudi mosques call for jihad, or holy war, against Iraq’s Shiites and that the government had funded groups causing unrest in Iraq’s largely Shiite south. Sunni extremists regard Shiites as unbelievers.
And we like these guys? For what?
And to go beyond the pale, there’s this article on how well heeled the Saudi court system handles “rulebreakers”:
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - Rizana Nafeek, a 19-year housemaid from Sri Lanka, is on death row because the baby in her care died while she was bottle-feeding him. If her appeal is turned down, she will be taken to a public square to be publicly beheaded.
The Sri Lankan government says it is working for a reprieve, and has until Monday to file the plea. A last-minute pardon by the infant’s parents could also spare her. But if her execution goes ahead, it will be the latest in a surge of beheadings that could surpass the kingdom’s record of 191 in 2005.
And we think execution by drug overdose is “cruel and unusual”. I guess whacking off the heads of 19 year girls is OK by Saudi standards?
So it’s OK to let the judicious Saudi courts execute 19 year old foreign girls but to chase down thier own citizens who want to die as martyrs by killing as many innocents as possible is over the top.
I just feel the love.

Pajamas Media blogger Martin Solomon has posted a disturbing article on the attempts by the Islamic Society of Boston to silence its critics by simply suing the crap out of them. The article, while somewhat lengthy and detailed, is a must read to see just how the export of Wahhabi Islam from Saudi Arabia is being tightly managed by those mosques and Islamic organizations they are exporting to - particularly the ones in America. In this case, Solomon describes the deals that the City of Boston made with a new mosque that is being built by selling the mosque land on the cheap - about 1/4 of it’s retail worth and perhaps even 1/10th.
To see how this can be viewed as a danger, step back and read this article and try to remember that this isn’t any local church or religion trying to expand its base. This effort is being directed and supported by Saudi dollars. And the delivery of the real story is in the details that are presented in “The Silencing“. Solomon points out toward the article’s end that the Saudi version of proselytizing comes with a price:
It’s possible that there are what we would recognize as moderate Muslims somewhere in Saudi Arabia, but that is not the type of Islam that is being exported and financed world-wide from the Kingdom. On the contrary, the intolerant export-version of Wahhabi Islam, driven by petrodollars, has made itself a scourge the world over — in the Middle East, the Balkans, Africa, and Asia…Saudi Wahhabism has made sure it is the Islam people find when newcomers look to discover Islam, and when nominal Muslims seek to rediscover their religion.
One need only look at the Kingdom itself to see where its image of Islam leads — misogyny, anti-Semitism, Islamic supremacism, contempt and the most extreme intolerance for non-Muslims…Jihad. It’s not hard to understand why anyone would be urging a loud NO to any institution with funding from Saudi Arabia, or even significant funding from anywhere else in the Middle East.
Be aware that knowledge of this information may make you less tolerant of Islamic bullies who would be happy to simply refer to you as “Islamaphobic”, utter the usual “victimization” platitudes, and put you off with unsupported denials rather than engage in any conversation that may reveal their true intentions.
But ain’t that the point? Jihad never reveals its true intent. They’re just following the script.
