Saudi Arabia has reportedly spent over $70 billion since 1979 on overseas aid, more than two-thirds of it on its campaign to spread Wahhabism across the world. This programme included the founding of thousands of mosques and madrassas (Islamic schools)
Recent news reports claim that the Saudi prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal Al-Saud, a nephew of the late King Fahd, has donated $20 million each to Harvard and Georgetown universities in the US.
Prince Al-Waleed has recently bought 5.46% of the voting shares of News Corporation, Rupert Murdoch’s diversified international media and entertainment empire that includes Fox News Channel (FNC). Fox had been reporting on the Saudi role in the promotion of Islamist terror, and it is thought that the prince may hope to dampen any potential criticism by his investment. [2] [3] It is claimed that Fox News Channel recently changed its coverage of the Muslim riots in France after he called the network to complain. The Dubai based Khaleej Times quotes the prince as saying:
I was in America watching Fox News when I saw a news report being labelled as Muslim riots. I immediately called up Fox Murdoch and informed him that it was wrong to label any riot caused by whatever reason as Muslim. After a short while, there was a change, and the news report about Muslim riots was simply labelled as riots.

The official Saudi newspaper in English, Ain al-Yaqeen, published an article on March 1, 2002 describing the Kingdom’s efforts at supporting Islam worldwide. It claimed that the Kingdom had spent “astronomical” sums of many billions establishing thousands of mosques, madrassas and Islamic centres in non-Muslim countries in Europe, North and South America, Australia, Africa and Asia
Saudi Arabia’s state religion is Wahhabism, a narrow form of Islam hostile to reforms in Islam and ideologically akin to radical Islamism.
Generous Saudi funding of institutions in the non-Muslim world, and especially in the West, has a long history and is driven by the Saudi state and the royal family. While Saudi sources claim that the funding is given to help remove Western misunderstandings of Islam, evidence suggests that much of the motivation is founded in Islamic doctrines of mission (Da‘wa) and holy war (Jihad) and aims at the spread of Islam (especially in its Wahhabi form) and its political dominance around the world

Vandalism In The Name of Allah
In 1924, the Wahhabis had begun a campaign of destruction of graves of Muslim saints and imams.
Even the tomb of Mohammed's daughter Fatima, from whose lineage the Mahdi (Messiah) will be born, was destroyed.
The Ikhwan had even tried to desecrate the tomb of Mohammed, but had been restrained by the Al Saud chief.
Under the rule of King Abdul Aziz and his descendants, the destruction of religious sites has been accelerating up to the present day.
Over the past two decades, according to the Gulf Institute, 95% of the ancient buildings of Mecca have been demolished. Dr Sami Angawi, a Saudi architect, claims that now there are only 20 buildings which remain from the time of Mohammed.
The tomb of Mohammed is in Medina.
In the 1950s, the Saudi establishment decided to build a library over the grave site.
The architect gained a compromise, by allowing the tomb to remain beneath the library.
The authorities intend the tomb to be concreted over and made into a car park.
In 1998, the tomb of Mohammed's mother, Amina bint Wahb, was bulldozed and razed to the ground.
The house of Khadija, Mohammed's wife, is no longer standing. It has been replaced with public toilets.
The house of Abu Bakr, the first Caliph and father of Mohammed's last wife Aisha, has vanished under the foundations of a Hilton hotel
Abuse In The Name Of Allah
Saudi Arabia exports its Wahhabist ideology around the world. In 2005, Prince Alaweed bin-Talal made $20 million grants to the US universities of Georgetown and Harvard to promote "Muslim-Christian understanding", yet there is no such tolerance of any other faith within Saudi Arabia. No Bibles or crucifixes can be brought in by visitors, and holding Christian religious services can lead to imprisonment

Let's calla spade a spade. The REASON that females in the Muslim religion cover themselves up is because the men are tempted by the flesh of the female. The men do not practice this same thing. They are somehow magically exempt from it. Why is this not a two way street? Why do the men not wear a burqa as well? Why do the MEN not cover up all of their body? Are they trying to say that women cannot be tempted by the flesh of the male? That if a female reveals her skin that a Muslim male has no self restraint or self control and will try and rape her? What does that say about Muslim males? That they are no better than a savage animal and have no control over their instincts? That is something that a Dog would do. I expect more from you Muslim men. I expect you to act better than a beast would.
GO FRANCE! You do not stand alone, most of the world is with you! Way to stand up to fundamentalist savagery. Force these men to evolve and achieve some semblance of self control over their hormones. I have NEVER seen a full face Burqa in the United States.I have seen them VERY OFTEN in Qatar and Iraq. They look like trash bags and that is how the men want to keep them, as their dehumanized pets and slaves. Time to fight back and the battle is starting now! Lead the way France you take the point we got your back!

When not seeking out witches, the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice targets people who are considered to be acting immorally. They commonly seek out people who are "in seclusion." This breach of morality, called "khalwat", happens when a man and woman are found to be in each other's company when they are neither married nor blood relatives. How the muttawa assess "khalwat" is – to Western minds – bizarre.
In June, 2006 a disabled 70-year old woman entered a shop in Al Deira market in Riyadh while unaccompanied by a man. In the shop was the male shopkeeper. As a result, the woman (and not the man) was accused of "khalwat". Her relatives were not informed of her arrest. They found her a few days later in a jail.
