SAUDI $$$ to Library & Universities

[Starman3000m]

(Excerpt)

"Terrorism analyst Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, who left the Islamic faith to become a Christian, is raising concerns about the large sum of money former President Bill Clinton has received from the royal family of Saudi Arabia. He suggests that the multi-million-dollar donation has the potential to influence Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's Mideast policy if she were to win the White House."

"Saudi Arabia has been donating a great amount of money to a number of different U.S. institutions. In particular, they've been endowing a number of university chairs in Islamic studies. That's of concern because in general they get what they pay for in these Islamic study programs; that is, one of the most pernicious ideologies when it comes to contemporary Islamic extremism is wahabism -- the ultra-conservative brand of religion that is predominant in Saudi Arabia."

The Saudi Royal family also has ties to the Bushes. Nothing new.

How ironic with all the moeny they donate. We educate their children to become chemical engineers, engineers, computer science, physics, biology. Then, they go back to thier countries and make bombs and blow us up......set up websites, test biological warfare etc...

I do not believe it.

American schools are not teaching the Islamic virtues and merits.

I hope they are learning that, and if it is true - then maybe our society will improve some as a result.

Muslim WakeUp! MWU!

^ Here's a progressive Muslim site that rails against the same thing as that article. They are also killing the traditional cultures in countries where their dollars are funding "Islamic" eduction and replacing it with a Gulf Arab style one. Women in many of these countries never wore hijab before the petrodollars came rolling in.

Which Islamic value do you feel is in conflict with American values?
