| Prince Khaled Raps Western Attitude | |
| 2003-11-04 | |
Assir Governor Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, who is director general of the King Faisal Foundation, has slammed what he called Western double standards regarding charitable organizations in Arab and Islamic countries. âWhy do they accuse our charities of promoting violence and terrorism while they extend their humanitarian services to all peoples?â he said. He also said that the winners of King Faisal Prizes would be announced in February next year.

| #5 Muslim Charity, when not devoted to bombs or madrassas, is limited solely to the Faithful. Christian Charities are banned because their "no one excluded" policy makes the Islamic charities look selfish and narrow. Not only are the infidel churches not allowed to be taller than a mosque, but their charities are not allowed to be better than theirs. Since that's a really low bar to hurdle, the Islamazoids settle for banning them instead. |

| #4 I think he's saying Christian charities shouldn't operate in Islamic countries. Sounds like an idea to me! |

| #3 Well, there does seem to be a bit of a double standard. After all, aside from the violence, anti-semitism, murder, propaganda and terrorism, Hamas is basically a humanitarian organization. |

| #1 ...extend their humanitarian services to all peoples? Yes, after all, nail-encased explosive belt shrapnel extends out to young and old, male and female, and Jew and Christian alike without prejudice. |
