Let's start de-saudifying

Our Saudi Friends

or, "Eat sh*t and die"

“ The war  [against "radical Islam]  will be lost incrementally because we are unable to reverse the ongoing radicalization of Muslim populations in South Asia, Indonesia, the Balkans, Western Europe and, yes, North America. And who is behind that radicalization? Who funds the mosques and Islamic centers that in the last 30 years have set up shop on just about every Main Street around the planet? For the answer, let us turn to a fascinating book called "Alms For Jihad: Charity And Terrorism In The Islamic World"  .... Can't find it in your local Barnes & Noble? Never mind, let's go to Amazon. Everything's available there. [Nope} ... if you then try to buy "Alms For Jihad," you discover that the book is "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." Hang on, it was only published last year. *snip* Well, let us cross the ocean thousands of miles from the Amazon warehouse to the high court in London. Last week, the Cambridge University Press agreed to recall all unsold copies of "Alms For Jihad" and pulp them. In addition, it has asked hundreds of libraries around the world to remove the volume from their shelves. This very unusual action was accompanied by a letter to Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz, in care of his English lawyers, explaining the reasons:  [Mark Steyn - A censorship sheikdown?] ” For those who don't want to leave home, the answer is that Sheik Khalid bin Mahfouz is very well connected, indeed, and British libel law overwhelmingly favors the plaintiff. Mr. Steyn leaves us with this pleasantry: “ We've become accustomed to one-way multiculturalism: The world accepts you can't open an Episcopal or Congregational church in Jeddah or Riyadh, but every week the Saudis can open radical mosques and madrassahs and pro-Saudi think-tanks in London and Toronto and Dearborn, Mich., and Falls Church, Va. Their global reach extends a little further day by day, inch by inch, in the lengthening shadows, as the lights go out one by one around the world. ”
