#1 Hmm...something's going on with this big, very public display of cooperation by the Saudi's.

Thought also interesting was that, Idris, is also "president of American Open University in Alexandria and a founder of the Islamic Foundation of America in Springfield, institutions that also promote a very orthodox brand of Islam." It would be interesting to hear more about these institutions and what becomes of them.

And..even more interesting: "The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the institute has trained at least 75 lay ministers for the U.S. military." Can somebody please publish a LIST of the lay ministers trained by this guy????

#2 Saudi Arabia may be looking for a way to reduce its expenses. The budget is tight (they spend about 4% of their budget on 'development' - which includes building mosques, etc. overseas) and its more cost effective to recruit islamodroids in other countries than in the US.
