Eighth Grade textbook in Saudi Arabia: "The Apes are the people of the Sabbath, the Jews; and the Swine are the infidels of the communion of Jesus, the Christians." Same thing taught in NYC mosques.

Connecting the dots. Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, posts a story from the New York Daily News about a would-be Muslim terrorist who tried to work out a deal with the authorities after getting arrested and told them everything he knew about terrorist recruiting in New York City. His story originally appeared in FrontPageMag.com 

Staten Island Jihadist Blows Lid Off Plotter Network

Posted by Robert Spencer on Jan 2nd, 2012.

Abdel Hameed Shehadeh wanted to join the U.S. Army so that he could turn and kill American soldiers. Instead, he has exposed a jihad network of impressive proportions that, if his assertions are true, should end the rush toward politically correct self-deception in the way law enforcement officials approach the problem of jihad terrorism in the United States.

But things didn’t work out that way. Shehadeh got caught, and quickly began cooperating with authorities. He gave FBI agents a lengthy interview that fills a 22-page report that his lawyers are now trying to deep-six: although Shehadeh gave the interview in an attempt to get a better deal for himself, he quickly started worrying about “how much I incriminated myself,” and so now wants the report suppressed.

Those he named no doubt also want his report suppressed. According to the New York Daily News, Shehadeh was “a fount of information.” Among the jihad plotters he mentions in the report are “Brooklyn teachers of the Islamic orthodoxy Salafism” and Muslims who “delivered pro-jihadist speeches at mosques or ranted in online chat rooms.”

Pamela Geller over at Atlas Shrugs has posted a story today that appeared in the Wall Street Journal about a "Christmas card" mailed out by the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the United States. The Saudi Ambassador seems to be trying to convey the same misleading smokescreen message (Muslims call it Taqiyya, the Islamic practice of lying to advance Islam) that our own one-time Muslim, Barack Hussein Obama and the Hamas-terrorist funding group CAIR have been spreading across our newspapers and televisions.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM SAUDI ARABIA (hat tip Tom Gross)

Merry Christmas From Saudi Arabia
Holiday greetings from a regime that prohibits Christians from worshipping publicly or wearing crosses.

The Wall Street Journal 

If you want a good laugh, read the holiday card sent out by Saudi Ambassador to the United States and public relations genius Adel al-Jubeir. Citing a Quranic verse, he writes "Behold, the angels said: 'O Mary, God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to God.'"

Christmas greetings from an ambassador whose government prohibits Christians from worshiping publicly, building churches, wearing crosses or importing Bibles. Invoking the names of Mary and Jesus while representing a government that this year beheaded Amina bint Abdulhalim Nassar and Abdul Hamid Al Fakki for "witchcraft.

Some details need to be put into perspective here. The Saudi Arabian government has financed the construction of most of the mosques in America and has required these mosques to distribute literature about Wahhabism, the official Islamic religious sect of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Some terms and definitions are needed to understand the connections. Wikipedia has an extensive definition of Wahhabism along with its synonymous name Salafism, both a form of hardline Islam that calls for the imposition of Islamic law in its fullness, including stonings, beheadings, amputations, and warfare against unbelievers. 

Wahhabism in the United States

A study conducted by the NGO Freedom House found Wahhabi publications in mosques in the United States. These publications included statements that Muslims should not only "always oppose" infidels "in every way", but "hate them for their religion ... for Allah's sake", that democracy "is responsible for all the horrible wars of the 20th century", and that Shia and certain Sunni Muslims were infidels

"Wahhabi theology treats the Quran and Hadith as the only fundamental and authoritative texts." and "The Wahhabis/Salafis consider themselves to be 'non-imitators' or 'not attached to tradition', and therefore answerable to no school of law at all, observing instead what they would call the practice of early Islam."

"The Saudis have spent at least $87 billion propagating Wahhabism abroad during the past two decades, and the scale of financing is believed to have increased in the past two years. The bulk of this funding goes towards the construction and operating expenses of mosques, madrasas, and other religious institutions that preach Wahhabism. It also supports imam training; mass media and publishing outlets; distribution of textbooks and other literature; and endowments to universities (in exchange for influence over the appointment of Islamic scholars). Some of the hundreds of thousands of non-Saudis who live in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf have been influenced by Wahhabism and preach Wahhabism in their home country upon their return. Agencies controlled by the Kingdom's Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Da'wah and Guidance are responsible for outreach to non-Muslim residents and are converting hundreds of non-Muslims into Islam every year."

Robert Spencer then repeats some previously known facts about radical teachings discovered in mosques in America that have been conveniently ignored by our progressive, politically correct news media. Some very disturbing facts that every city across America should be concerned about when their local Planning Boards contemplate a building permit application for yet another mosque.

In 1998, Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, a Sufi leader, visited 114 mosques in the United States. Then he gave testimony before a State Department Open Forum in January 1999, and asserted that 80% of American mosques taught the “extremist ideology.” 

Then there was the Center for Religious Freedom’s 2005 study, and the Mapping Sharia Project’s 2008 study. Each independently showed that upwards of 80% of mosques in America were preaching hatred of Jews and Christians and the necessity ultimately to impose Islamic rule.

And in the summer of 2011 came another study showing that only 19% of mosques in U.S. don’t teach jihad violence and/or Islamic supremacism.

Is it any wonder that 15 of the 19 Muslim hijackers on 9-11 came from Saudi Arabia. Especially after being educated there with such a point of view as Pamela Geller points out,

An eighth-grade textbook currently published by the Saudi Education Ministry declares "The Apes are the people of the Sabbath, the Jews; and the Swine are the infidels of the communion of Jesus, the Christians." A ninth-grade textbook echoes "The Jews and the Christians are enemies of the believers, and they cannot approve of Muslims." Six million schoolchildren are indoctrinated with this every year in Saudi Arabia.
