#4 A few of the graduates: Teaching Hate
Ahmed Omar Abu Ali was apprehended for allegedly planning to assassinate President Bush and trying to establish an al Qaeda cell in the United States. He was not the first Islamic Saudi Academy graduate to attempt to carry out a terrorist attack. About three years ago, two Fairfax County men, Mohammad Osman Idris and Mohammad El-Yacoubi, both graduates of the school, were turned away from Israel after authorities found a letter in Arabic inside their bags that FBI officials say was a farewell note in preparation for a suicide mission. Mr. El-Yacoubi was not charged, but Mr. Idris was convicted of lying on a passport application.

#6 JFM: I don't know about Huiltzilopochtli followers. They tend to be extremely Camaxtliphobic.

Indeed, Ana. Also, it's illegal to organize Christian worship within the Magic Kingdom -- plenty of expatriots have been jailed and tortured for worshipping in their own homes -- or to be Jewish. One of the vice presidents of Mr. Wife's company was stopped at the passport check when he got off the airplane because when they asked his religion, for some reason he decided not to lie. As far as the Saudis are concerned, their prophet expelled the Jews from Arabia, and that ends it.

#8 the 23-year-old Islamic Saudi Academy in Northern Virginia

I wonder how many other Saudi-funded schools are in the U.S. that are similar to the Saudi Academy? I would be for shutting them all down as long as there is religious intolerance sponsored by the house of Saud and as long as they keep funding terrorism.

#9 Liberalhawk, you may be a hawk, but your comment illustrates exactly the nature of the mental disorder that is associted with today's liberalism.
Hope that you are feeling fine, otherwise.

#11 ANA, I think you meant to say intolerant but intolerable works too.

#12 there was no ideological point. Just noting a coincidence is all. Perhaps I didnt make the picture clear. This isnt in a built up area, its on a largely un-built up road (Shirley Gate) west of GMU. Its not a jewish school and a christian church among lots of homes and shops and churches. Its basically a ONLY the ISA, the big Church (we're talking megachurch) and the Jewish School out among woods, and maybe one new residential subdivision. The three religious bodies are all out there for the same reason, there are relatively large parcels of land relatively close in.

as to the subtance here, I dont know exactly what their curriculum currently is. Id be delighted as hell if the kiddies there switched to public schools, or to NON saudi funded muslim schools (if there are any around here, which I doubt). AFAIK the commission has no authority to close anything, and I dont think know that theres any law, Federal or Commonwealth (we're in VA) that allows for the shutting of a private school for preaching hate.

If someone suggest such a law, I promise to look at it with an open mind.

#13 I've been to this school. The visit left a lasting impression. I was truly frightened when we left, my partner and I practically running to get to the car.

This was in about 1997-98. I was doing school consulting work, on teaching teachers how to use the Internet.

We have a "request" card, asking for an appointment with us. We responded and set up the meeting with their IT guy.

I've walked into thousands of schools, all over the USA (missed North and South Dakota) and have always gotten a "feel" of the school, usually within 2-3 minutes of being inside. How you are greeted, what's in the hallways, faces of kids, etc.

This was just the strangest feeling I have ever had, walking into this building. It's built in a V shape, with girls to the right, the boys to the left. My partner was male.

We were led through the boy's side -- no students were present. There was nothing colorful in these halls -- no sign that kids had ever been present -- just posters that I could tell were of a religious bent. At the time, I don't think I even knew a thing about Islam -- probably wasn't even aware it exited.

Whenever working with a school, you first have to know what is the need and that only comes from asking good questions.

This guy didn't want to answer most of my questions. I was so curious about this whole concept they had.

I did learn, that there are lots of Saudi's here in government work. This school was built and funded for the children of these "diplomats." Money was not an object, and that's about all I learned.

The meeting was short. The administration guy and I soon arrived at the same decision, there wasn't much I could do for them. Short meeting. And escorted directly out of the building!

Whenever I hear or read anything about that school, I still get that same Weid feeling I had as we left, practically running to the school. It was a frightening experience.

#15 LH - roger, I'm not familiar w/that particular area. Not sure about the hate speech thing wrt shutting down private schools either. Maybe something to do w/it being foreign funded?

#17 For the record LH, the Bill of Rights restricks the Federal Congress from touching religion but allow States Rights on the issue. Virginia could legally and rightly shut down that terrorist nest.

#19 Another thing I remember about that school, they were using the same curriculum as used in Saudi -- so the "diplomats'" kids would be on the same learning curve when they returned home.

#20 Saudi aRabida is the enemy of the freedom-loving world, regardless of where it is, or under what kind of government it exists. The only way to stop this enemy is a nice, 10Mt nuke over Riyadh when all the house of saud is in one place. Might need to take out a few other places to ensure you've got all the vermin - Mecca, Medina, Jedda, and Dahran come to mind. There's also some place where one of the "brothers" goes to commune with the sand and his ancestors that might also need a good whack. I don't think there are any other places where there are large gatherings of wahabbi preachers, but if such a place exists, it should be whacked, too. Close the US embassy, expel all Soddy "diplomats" for plotting to overthrow the US government, and take possession of all the uncontaminated sand. Directional drilling will allow full production without jeopardizing anyone. Tell the ruskies we've learned how to drill directionally as far as 5000 miles, and if they don't keep their pieholes closed, we'll tap THEIR fields, too. Also tell them they won't know we've done it until their fields run dry earlier than predicted, or they start belching pure chlorine gas. Give those paranoid bas$$$$s something to be paranoid about.
