| #8 We are not a sovereign country if we can't stop a foreign import, be it Saudi schools or Mexican illegals. |

| #7 Had Adolph and Benito been more patient in the 1930's, and had they called national socialism a STATE religion (as opposed to a political philosophy), their dream for world domination would be There would be "schools & houses of worship" in the USA teaching their ideology and sponsored by the gov'ts of Germany and Italy. It's exactly what the Wahhabi schools and mosques of Saudi Arbia are doing tday and there is nothing the gov't in the USA can do to stop it. |

| #5 I refuse to get highly worked up over this because -- as near as I can tell -- it's largely about the activities of a small group of graduates and some offensive passages in religious textbooks that have allegedly been purged. I welcome any evidence to the contrary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Saudi_Academy http://www.theworld.org/?q=node/1279 http://www.theworld.org/files/images/3_2.jpg http://www.saudiacademy.net/index.html "It's all religious symbols, some, colored by children." Sherry, I'd like to hear more about your visit because all of the pictures I've just looked through don't look much different than any Catholic school, just different faces and symbols. "The Academy's chairman, no less, is Prince Turki al-Faisal, who is also Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States." Is the Academy's chairman always Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States? Turki is indeed unsavory at best and Bush should have insisted behind closed doors that he be replaced. This administration's public relationship with Saudi Arabia since 9/11 has been entirely unsatisfactory. |

| #4 The collusion of our elites on the "right" and the "left" regarding the Saud terror entity is the greatest shame of our time. It is a conspiracy so overt that it remains invisible to non-Rantburgians everywhere. |

| #3 The school teaches: That trusted friends can only be Muslim. That even family members, if they are non-believers, have nothing in common with you and should be abandoned or ignored. That people further away from you geographically and culturally are truly closer to you than the family you live with if your family does not believe. That one should never establish a close and trusted friendship with a non-Muslim. The Academy's chairman, no less, is Prince Turki al-Faisal, who is also Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States. For those of you who are unacquainted with this sleazebag, the following excerpts may be of interest: Saudi envoy in UK linked to 9/11 But Turki is not what he seems. Behind him lies a murky tale of espionage, terrorism and torture. For, while Turki has many powerful friends among Britain's elite, he is no ordinary diplomat. Turki has now been served with legal papers by lawyers acting for relatives of the victims of 11 September. They accuse him of funding and supporting Osama bin Laden. The Observer can also reveal that Turki has now admitted for the first time that Saudi interrogators have tortured six British citizens arrested in Saudi Arabia and accused of carrying out a bombing campaign. Legal papers in the case obtained by The Observer make it clear that the allegations are serious and lengthy. Many centre around Turki's role as head of the Saudi intelligence agency. He held the post for 25 years before being replaced in 2001 just before the attacks on New York. Turki admits to meeting bin Laden four or five times in the 1980s, when the Saudi-born terrorist was being supported by the West in Afghanistan. Turki also admits meeting Taliban leader Mullah Omar in 1998. He says he was seeking to extradite bin Laden at the request of the United States. However, the legal papers tell a different story. Based on sworn testimony from a Taliban intelligence chief called Mullah Kakshar, they allege that Turki had two meetings in 1998 with al-Qaeda. They say that Turki helped seal a deal whereby al-Qaeda would not attack Saudi targets. In return, Saudi Arabia would make no demands for extradition or the closure of bin Laden's network of training camps. Turki also promised financial assistance to Mullah Omar. A few weeks after the meetings, 400 new pick-up vehicles arrived in Kandahar, the papers say. Kakshar's statement also says that Turki arranged for donations to be made directly to al-Qaeda and bin Laden by a group of wealthy Saudi businessmen. 'Mullah Kakshar's sworn statement implicates Prince Turki as the facilitator of these money transfers in support of the Taliban, al-Qaeda and international terrorism,' the papers said. Turki's link to one of al-Qaeda's top money- launderers, Mohammed Zouaydi, who lived in Saudi Arabia from 1996 to 2001, is also exposed. Zouaydi acted as the accountant for the Faisal branch of the Saudi royal family that includes Turki. Zouaydi, who is now in jail in Spain, is also accused of being al-Qaeda's top European financier. He distributed more than $1 million to al- Qaeda units, including the Hamburg cell of Mohammed Atta which plotted the World Trade Centre attack. Finally the lawsuit alleges that Turki was 'instrumental' in setting up a meeting between bin Laden and senior Iraqi intelligence agent Faruq al-Hijazi in December 1998. At that meeting it is alleged that bin Laden agreed to avenge recent American bombings of Iraqi targets and in return Iraq offered him a safe haven and gave him blank Yemeni passports. [emphasis added] Thank the Bush administration's close ties to Saudi Arabia for this murderous scum-sucking bastard being on America soil. Turki should be dangling from the end of a noose. |

| #2 As I've written before, I've been in this school. There is an eerie, eerie feeling that is pervasive throughout the building. Walking the halls, there are no signs of "children" occupying the school. It's all religious symbols, some, colored by children. It has a truly, dark feeling. We almost ran back to our car.... wanting to get out of there are quickly as possible! |
