Enjoy your rich fantasy life about my positions. It's just so embarrassing to see you explore it publicly (and when I say that, I mean I am embarrassed FOR you- I wouldn't want you to imagine something about that remark that was yet another creative fantasy).

"Do you know how much money it is "reported" that was funneled to terrorist organizations by Saudi Arabia?" A lot I'm sure. But it is likely now all in the past given the periodic battles which now occur in SA between al Qaida and Saudi security forces. Also I haven't seen anything which ever said Saudi government funds were involved but rather "charitable" funds from individuals. As of Sept 2005. ..."Freedom of religion does not exist," the State Department said last year in summing up the situation in Saudi Arabia in a report that covered religious freedom in 191 countries. The report said that those who do not adhere to the officially sanctioned strain of Sunni Islam practiced in the country can face "severe repercussions" from religious police. It also cited instances in which government-paid mosque preachers "used violent anti-Jewish and anti-Christian language in their sermons." and .... A Hamas Headquarters in Saudi Arabia? By Matthew Levitt September 28, 2005 Israeli authorities on September 27 announced the arrest of an Israeli-Arab Hamas activist who played central militant, political, and financing roles for the group in coordination with what Israeli authorities described as a “Hamas command in Saudi Arabia.” The arrest is just the latest evidence that support for Hamas in particular and Islamic extremism in general continues to emanate from within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia..... Just last month, Saudi television ran a program on the jihad in Palestine that implored viewers to donate funds to the Palestinian intifada. A caption on the screen informed donors that they could send funds through the Saudi Committee for Support of the al-Quds Intifada’s Account Ninety-Eight, “a joint account at all Saudi banks.” Meanwhile, a speaker instructed viewers, “Jihad is the pinnacle of Islam.” He explained that the funds would go directly to those waging jihad, where it would, in his words, “help them carry out this mission.” washingtoninstitute.org
