description: There is a reason why fifteen of the nineteen September 11th terrorists, forty percent of the suicide bombers in Iraq and eighty percent of the “detainees” taken from Afghanistan to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba were from Saudi Arabia. It is because Islam itself is involved in an ideological and religious struggle within itself and has been hijacked by a radical Islamic cult that now dominates that country. As a consequence, the Saudi monarchs are caught between a past they cannot shed and a future to which they cannot adapt. And because Fate has bestowed upon them an unprecedented oil boon, they have, for at least a generation, funded, supported and otherwise successfully exported this virulently anti-Western form of Islam to an unsuspecting world. The Saudis are the single most prolific financial and ideological supporters of radical (Wahhabi) Islam in the world. They have spent an estimated $87B over the past twenty-five years to finance the propagation of Islamic extremism not only in Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries, but in the United States through numerous charitable front organizations, businesses, banks, through Saudi-endowed chairs at American colleges and universities, and through the Muslim chaplaincy program whose Islamic seminaries train and certify Muslim chaplains for our prison and military establishments – all with the aim of recruiting converts for the worldwide Islamic jihad. And in the estimated 80% of American mosques and Saudi-supported American Islamic schools that are dependant upon Wahhabi resources, Saudi textbooks teach that Western culture is the source of all Muslim misfortune - from Western democracy to Western influence.
