A coalition of organizations spearheaded by the United American
Committee is set to protest against Saudi influence in America and against
Saudi support of terror according to the groups. The protest will occur
this Saturday August 2nd at 4:00 PM in front of the Consulate of the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia located at 2045 Sawtelle Blvd. Los Angeles,
CA.
(LOS ANGELES, CA & 7/29/2008) & With growing animosity
and suspicion toward Saudi Arabia, several groups involved in what is
being
called the anti-jihad resistance are planning a protest with goals to
bring
awareness of Saudi Arabia's questionable usage of dollars earned by the
latest spike in the cost of petroleum. The primary source of outrage among
protesters is what they call Saudi support of terror through the Kingdom's
funding of radical mosques and Islamic schools known as madrassas
throughout the world which follow the Saudi fundamentalist view of Islam
known as Wahabism. Groups such as the United American Committee state that
when one traces the trail of virtually any Muslim terrorist in the world,
it almost inevitably leads back to a Saudi funded mosque or school that
the
terrorist has been trained in. "When we fill up every time at the pump
they
are turning our dollars against us in order to kill us." remarks protester
Jim Horn, Vice Chairman of the U.A.C., a non-profit organization with
goals
to educate Americans about the threat of radical Islam. "They have learned
our laws and our ways of life and are now using them against us, something
which the terrorists have learned is far more effective than bullets or
physical attacks." Horn continued, also referring to the Saudi lobbyist
efforts which influence American politicians, another item which is a
primary target of this coming Saturday's protest.
In recent years through the growing use of
internet weblogs and other alternative medium, Saudi interference in
American school systems have greatly come to light, stirring a great deal
of unrest among parents and educators. In 2007 the UAC released 10,000
pamphlets to its members with various facts on Saudi influence in Western
education. These facts listed such items as Saudi Arabia's funding of
mid-east study programs which teach Saudi style views on Islam in American
Universities such as Georgetown which received $22 million, or the
University of Arkansas which received $20 million. Such programs are
notably set up by Saudi Arabia in universities with almost no Muslim
student body to speak of. Once the initial Saudi money runs out to fund
these programs, they are then often subsidized by American tax dollars.
The
UAC report also mentioned Saudi influence at elementary school levels
including notebooks given to teachers such as the "Arab World Studies
Notebook" in which children are led to believe that Jews control American
foreign policy and that the Koran is superior to other religious texts.
The
protester's aims are to awaken the nation and let American politicians
know
that the citizens of America are beginning to view Saudi Arabia to radical
Islam in the world today as the Soviet Union was viewed to stand for
Communism in the world during the Cold War.
All concerned Americans are urged to attend
this important protest Saturday at 4:00 PM in front of the Saudi Consulate
located at 2045 Sawtelle Blvd. in Los Angeles, CA. For more information
