WorldNetDaily: Report: Saudis spread hate through U.S. mosques

That report comes from Freedom House's Center for Religious Freedom. You can read the full text of the report here, if you have a PDF viewer. The report gives full details on Freedom House's methods, and has an excellent foreword from none other than former CIA Director James Woolsey.

I have said repeatedly that the Koran and the Hadith repeatedly exhort their readers to kill non-Muslims. We now learn that the Saudis are authoring, publishing, and financing the spreading of an actual call to war in this country while also having their hand on the spigot. These are not wild-eyed screeds paid for by the remittances that the Saudi royal house has been paying. These have all the strength of royal edicts, coming as they do from the Ministry of Islamic Affairs.

Two things:

  1. Any doubt that we ought to move away from the Saudi oil spigot now ought to be resolved.
  2. This is war, people, by any reasonable definition whatsoever. We can't and shouldn't tolerate this.
Senators, did you get this? Do you understand now why I advocate that the Senate empanel a Select Committee on Religious Ideals and their Consequences? I would go further: we now have clear and convincing evidence with which to prosecute some of these clerics. The charge: treason.
