Hi Carranza - re: Middle East Institute. The website is funded by Xenel. Their "Intro to Islam" is the typical puff-piece. "The resurgence of Islam is flourishing in every part of the world and dedicated Muslims are trying hard to meet the challenges of modern times while remaining faithful to the values of their past. This is enlightened Islamic Fundamentalism. Its continuation and growth are ongoing. But since all mass movements carry the risk of excess, extremism by some is likely to occur at times. However, one should not judge the higher values shared by the many on the basis of the extreme deeds committed by the few." mideasti.org Xenel is wholly owned by the Alireza family of Saudi Arabia. xenel.com The Alireza family is associated with the House of Saud, e.g.: "HRH Prince Nawaf Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud is the Chairman of Alujain's Board of Directors. Mr. Khalid A. Alireza, the Executive Director of the Xenel Group and the Chairman of Saudi Cable, is the Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Alujain." saudiimporters.bizhosting.com
