Our friends, the Saudis
Our friends, the Saudis
NRO posted today a "must read" interview with Laurent Murawiec; the interview is entitled “Talibans with Oil and a Good P.R. Company”. In a typical passage, Murawiec states,
The Al-Saud family is indistinguishable from the Wahhabi sect. They have been wedded like Siamese twins since 1744. The sect lends Islamic legitimacy to the sword of the ruler, the ruler extends the writ of the sect. The one cannot exist without the other. The Wahhabi creed is a nasty, bigoted belief system. It considers itself the sole repository of authentic Islam, and views all other Muslins as heretics, apostates, and schismatics, hence, deserving of death. It considers Jews and Christians as Satanic enemies that should be killed when opportunity arises. Jihad is integral to Wahhabism. Whenever the Saudi royals have had opportunity to manifest and implement the creed, they have. King Faisal gave his every visitor a copy of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Read the sermons and the fatwas and the schoolbooks that pour out of Saudi mosques, universities, imams, and predicators, from TV and media: "death to Jews, Christians, Hindus, Shiites" is a permanent singsong. That's the Saudi-Wahhabi creed in action. Now, since they have needed us to protect them from regional predators, Iran, Saddam in his time, Nasser earlier and so on, they have honed in a nice trick which allows them to emit friendly noises from one corner of their mouth when they speak English, and in hateful tones from the other, Arabic side. When senior Saudi clerics issue fatwas that call for the killing of Americans in Iraq, when Saudi state TV airs these bloodcurdling calls for jihad against America, how can one but conclude that they are no friends, but enemies? The new Saudi ambassador here, Prince Turki, called our toppling of Saddam "a colonial war." Seventy percent of the jihadis we have captured in Iraq are Saudis. King Abdullah, Prince Nayef the interior minister, Prince Sultan and Turki have all repeatedly stated that Israel was behind 9/11 — not the 15 of 19 hijackers that were Saudis — and behind all terrorist incidents in Saudi Arabia! King Abdullah twice in the last few years threatened the U.S. with a new oil embargo. With such friends, who needs enemies? The Saudi royals? Talibans with oil and a good p.r. company. The regime? It is evil, and therefore it is our enemy, and it behaves accordingly.
To my mind, exposing the Saudis for what they are is extremely important in the context of pro-Israel advocacy. The dogged anti-Israel campaigns of the US administration and Foggy Bottom are merely the obverse picture of a pro-Saudi orientation. It is vital that we show the people of the US who the Saudis really are, and whose "friendship" Foggy Bottom is seeking. Surely, the support for Israel among the people of the US will rise when the people realize that the Saudis are sworn enemies, and that an alliance with them contradicts the interests of the US. In contrast, supporting democratic Israel is, indeed, in the interest of the US.
Three books that provide fact-based ammunition for such a campaign are:
1. Laurent Murawiec. Princes of Darkness: The Saudi Assault on the West.
2. Gerald Posner. Secrets of the Kingdom.
3. Dore Gold. Hatred's Kingdom.

For a fast entry into the Saudi Arabian problem, I'd recommend reading yesterday's (22 Nov 05) WASHINGTON TIMES article by Congressman Jim Saxton (R,NJ). It's titled "U.S. as OPEC's hostage". Rep Saxton explains how the Saudis operate their cartel with its ultimate threat to US security within the US.
I can't link the article because of too many viruses, bacteria and other germs in this new-fangled telegraph key. It is a good article to look for on the web somewhere.

I like the way Laurent Murawiec puts it, that the Sudis have been "breeding attack dogs, some of which have turned into wolves".
Through the Rabitatul 'Alam ul-Islamiya and other such "charity" funds they have financed certain schools and mosques which have turned young men of formerly mellow muslim countries into murderous fanatics, good for nothing else.
Withe their madrasahs and mosques they have spoiled so many formerly pleasant, reasonable and laid-back countries and societies with their wahhabism or their islamic education that it amounts in my eyes to no less than genocide.
9/11 should have been a warning call, but those degenerate fanatics keep building and financing their breeding grounds of murderous fanatics full of hatred. Meanwhile no one does anything about it.
When will the US administration be manly and intelligent enough to assess this huge problem and begin to stop the Saudis from opening more madrasahs and dismantling the existing ones?

Even a broken clock is right twice a day and Saddam Hussein was right about two things: Iranians and Saudis. In retrospect, we should have allowed Saddam to invade Saudi Arabia in 1990-1991, kill the entire House of Saud along with the Wahabi mullahs, and only then counterattack and drive him out. We would have done at least half of the Saudi population (the female half) a favor.
Furthermore, Saudi Arabia is guilty of acts of war against the United States and we should just kick their ass and take their gas. http://www.omdurman.org/whitslav.html for how these vermin are holding female American citizens in white slavery.
