NEW REPORT ON SAUDI GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS IN U.S.

WASHINGTON, DC, January 28, 2005- Freedom House’s Center for Religious Freedom
released today a new report exposing the dissemination of hate propaganda in
America by the government of Saudi Arabia.

The 89-page report, “Saudi Publications on Hate Ideology Fill American Mosques,”
is based on a year-long study of over two hundred original documents, all
disseminated, published or otherwise generated by the government of Saudi
Arabia and collected from more than a dozen mosques in the United States.

The propagation of hate ideology by Saudi Arabia is known to be worldwide, but
its occurrence within the United States has received scant attention until now.
Within worldwide Sunni Islam, followers of Saudi Arabia’s extremist Wahhabi
ideology are a distinct minority, as is evident by the millions of Muslims who
have chosen to make America their home and are upstanding, law-abiding citizens
and neighbors.

The report concludes that the Saudi government propaganda examined reflects a
“totalitarian ideology of hatred that can incite to violence,” and the fact
that it is “being mainstreamed within our borders through the efforts of a
foreign government, namely Saudi Arabia, demands our urgent attention.” The
report finds: “Not only does the government of Saudi Arabia not have a right –
under the First Amendment or any other legal document – to spread hate ideology
within U.S. borders, it is committing a human rights violation by doing so.”

Such publications that “advocate an ideology of hatred have no place in a nation
founded on religious freedom and toleration,” write James Woolsey, chairman of
the board of Freedom House, in the foreword to the report.

Among the key findings of the report:

· Various Saudi government publications gathered for this study, most of which
are in Arabic, assert that it is a religious obligation for Muslims to hate
Christians and Jews and warn against imitating, befriending, or helping them in
any way, or taking part in their festivities and celebrations;

· The documents promote contempt for the United States because it is ruled by
legislated civil law rather than by totalitarian Wahhabi-style Islamic law.
They condemn democracy as un-Islamic;

· The documents stress that when Muslims are in the lands of the unbelievers,
they must behave as if on a mission behind enemy lines. Either they are there
to acquire new knowledge and make money to be later employed in the jihad
against the infidels, or they are there to proselytize the infidels until at
least some convert to Islam. Any other reason for lingering among the
unbelievers in their lands is illegitimate, and unless a Muslim leaves as
quickly as possible, he or she is not a true Muslim and so too must be
condemned.

For example, a document in the collection for the “Immigrant Muslim” bears the
words “Greetings from the Cultural Attache in Washington, D.C.” of the Embassy
of Saudi Arabia, and is published by the government of Saudi Arabia. In an
authoritative religious voice, it gives detailed instructions on how to “hate”
the Christian and Jew: Never greet them first. Never congratulate the infidel
on his holiday. Never imitate the infidel. Do not become a naturalized citizen
of the United States. Do not wear a graduation gown because this imitates the
infidel;

· One insidious aspect of the Saudi propaganda examined is its aim to replace
traditional and moderate interpretations of Islam with extremist Wahhabism, the
officially-established religion of Saudi Arabia. In these documents, other
Muslims, especially those who advocate tolerance, are condemned as infidels.
The opening fatwa in one Saudi embassy-distributed book, published by the Saudi
Air Force, responds to a question about a Muslim preacher in a European mosque
who taught that it is not right to condemn Jews and Christians as infidels. The
Saudi state cleric’s reply rebukes the Muslim cleric: “He who casts doubts about
their infidelity leaves no doubt about his.” Since, under Saudi law, “apostates”
from Islam can be sentenced to death, this is an implied death threat against
the tolerant Muslim imam, as well as an incitement to vigilante violence;

· Sufi and Shiite Muslims are viciously condemned;

a Muslim who fails to uphold the Saudi Wahhabi sect’s sexual mores (i.e. through
homosexual activity or heterosexual activity outside of marriage), the edicts
published by the Saudi government’s Ministry of Islamic Affairs, and found in
American mosques advise, “it would be lawful for Muslims to spill his blood and
to take his money;”

· Regarding those who convert out of Islam, the Saudi Ministry of Islamic
Affairs explicitly asserts, they “should be killed;”

· Saudi textbooks and other publications in the collection, propagate a
Nazi-like hatred for Jews, treat the forged Protocols of the Elders of Zion as
historical fact, and avow that the Muslim’s duty is to eliminate the state of
Israel;

· Regarding women, the Saudi publications instruct that they should be veiled,
segregated from men and barred from certain employment and roles;

The report states: “While the government of Saudi Arabia claims to be ‘updating’
or reforming its textbooks and study materials within the Kingdom, its
publications propagating an ideology of hatred remain plentiful in some
prominent American mosques and Islamic centers, and continue to be a principal
resource available to students of Islam within the United States.”

The research, translation and principle analysis of the materials for the report
were carried out by both Muslims and non-Muslims who wish to remain anonymous
for reasons of security. Some 90 percent of the publications are in Arabic; two
independent translators reviewed each Arabic document. This project was
undertaken after many Muslims requested the Center’s help in exposing Saudi
extremism in the hope of freeing their communities from ideological
strangulation.
