Thanks for that link, Snowshoe. In the piece I gave a link to, it said In the US, 80 per cent of mosques are estimated by the Sufi Hisham al-Kabbani, born in Lebanon and now living in the US, to be under the control of Wahhabi imams,..." rense.com (but I wasn't able to find any other references to such a figure when i searched.) Your piece represents some confirmation of this disturbing stat from another source: Incredibly, the Saudi Wahhabi network is especially active among American Muslims. Through one of its main front groups, the Islamic Society of North America, the Saudi regime and its religious network influence a majority of mosques in the U.S. -- to the point where they determine what sermons will be delivered at the weekly assembly or juma prayers on Friday. At times the Friday sermon or khutba has been faxed to American mosques from Riyadh, the Saudi capital. The same habits are visible throughout Europe. interactive.wsj.com. Edit: oops, i see that the link is available only to subscribers, so here is the link to your posting of that piece: Message 16486432
