Western Media, Saudi Arabia and Wahabism
The New York Times has used tons of paper to communicate the evils of the Bush administration to the Arab world, but not a pound has been used to give coverage to something as inconsequential as the evils of the enemy. In the Middle East there is a saying, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” – Ancient Eastern adage.
If the Western media were accurately reporting the anti-American incitements going on in supposedly moderate places like Saudi Arabia, support for the war would rise. This in turn would aid George Bush’s re-election effort. So the liberal controlled media refuses to tell the truth of the matter because their agenda is more important to them that our future safety and freedom. It is an absolute fact that the Arab world wants to see John Kerry elected over George Bush. All conducted polls in every Muslim country confirm that. Liberal America feels the same. This is “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” principle in action.
Given that Saudi Arabia is the birthplace of Wahabi Islam, Osama bin Laden, the modern concept of Jihad and 16 of the 19 9/11 hijackers, it seems odd that the only evil the liberal Western press can locate currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, whose name is George Bush. The Saudi’s claim they are opposed to Islamic terror and that terrorism in any form is contrary to Islam Teaching. Evidently the folks down at the Saudi ministry of education didn’t get that memo.
Here is what the western media’s slanted reporting is aiding. An investigation by the Center for Monitoring Impact of Peace looked into what Saudi children are learning from official sanctioned government school books. Here are the kinds of things you won’t learn from our own liberal press. In order to learn proper diction, Saudi children are taught to say the following phrase. “Now (Palestine) is occupied by the Jews, a people of treachery and betrayal, who have gathered there from every place, from Poland, Spain, America and elsewhere. Their end, by God’s will, is perdition.” – Diction exercise from Saudi textbook.
In geography class they learn that N.Y. Jews are actually behind what Saudi kids are calling the gang state occupying Palestine. In history class pupils learn that Jews were behind the First World War, the Bolshevik revolution and not to mention both Gulf wars. Among standard classes in Saudi education system are of course classes in Islam. While the Saudi government assures the west that Islam is a religion of tolerance and love, one text book has students filling in the blank in the following sentence. “Those who have incurred God’s wrath are ____.” – From Saudi textbook
The correct answer to that question according to the teacher of the class is “the Jews.” Saudi education is free from kindergarten to the University level. By the time Saudi children have finished their primary education they are ready to enter Universities like Um Al-Qura University. Dr. Ahmad abd al-Latif teaches there. He was once asked on a Saudi Government owned TV, “Some imams and preachers call for Allah to annihilate the Jews and those who help them, and the Christians and those who support them… Is it permitted according to Islamic Law?” Professor al-Latif responded, “What made them curse the Jews is that the Jews are oppressors… The same goes for the Christians, because of their cruel aggression against Islamic countries… while the truth is that this is a crusading war whose goal is to harm Muslims. This is why a Muslim is allowed to curse the oppressors from among the Jews and Christians … Cursing the oppressing Jess and the oppressing and plundering Christians and the prayer that Allah will annihilate them is permitted.” – Dr. Ahmad abd al-Latif, Um Al-Qura University
On May 10th, Dr. Yassin Al-Khatib, declared on the United Arab Emirates television’ “… the honor, blood, property and mostly the fact that they entered the country (Iraq) … make it every Muslim’s duty to go out against them, not only the Iraqis. This is every Muslim’s duty. Jihad today has become an individual duty that applies to each and every Muslim. It is forbidden for a person to remain silent … When the Muslims fought in Afghanistan they destroyed the Soviet Union, which was a superpower. It collapsed and Allah willing, so will this (the US) collapse.” – Dr. Yassin Al-Khatib, Professor of Islamic Law, Um Al-Qura University.
Saudi preacher Sheik Sai Al-Qahtani told his Iraqi TV audience, “In this case, there is no choice besides defense, self-sacrifice, and what religious scholars call – Defensive Jihad … We attacked their country, and this caused them to wake the dormant enmity in their hearts … Especially since there is global Zionism, the enemy of Islam, and Judaism, and fundamentalist Crusaders … They interpret this whole incident as only the beginning and thus there is no choice but a preemptive strike … Allah said, ‘prepare against them all the force and horsemen that you can.’ What for? In order to strike fear into their hearts … At the same time, (we should) establish strategies for the future, even if only for the short term, and prepare … so that one of these days, even 100, 200, or 400 years from now, we will become a force that will be feared by the infidel states.” – Saudi preacher Said Al-Qahtani on Iraq TV
In the light of this, consider the choices facing the editorial boards of the liberal left spin machine as exemplified by the New York Times. You could also use CNN, the Washington Post or the Los Angeles Times as examples. It’s just that the New York Times is the one that claims to be the newspaper of reckon. They asked for the spotlight.
The Saudis continue to turnout ideological Jihadists in spite of assurances to the contrary. President Bush relied on the same intelligence every other country had regarding Saddam’s weapons of Mass Destruction. He used this intelligence when he made his yellow cake statement. By the way, this assertion by the President has been vindicated by the 9/11 commission. So the editorial board needs to sift through the news to determine which is the most important information Americans need to know. Here’s how the board reads. It’s a tough call. Saudi’s train Jihadists to kill U.S. citizens, or British intelligence reports may have been false. Conclusion, headline, “Bush lied.”
In the last day’s scenario as outlined in scripture, all of American’s traditional enemies play prominent roles, from the Russians to the Chinese to the Islamic Fascists Middle Eastern states to Europe. The central focus of global attention is the tiny state of Israel. All the major players for the last stage are already on stage and awaiting their queues, except America. She isn’t there.
