I agree with you that the Saudis have a repulsive government (but guess what - al-Qaeda thinks so too, though for different reasons). But what evidence do you have that this particular mosque (as it's sometimes referred to) is an arm of the Saudi Government? And what do you propose to do about the thousands of other mosques in the US? Or the millions of Muslims in the US? Or the ~90% of Muslims in the world who are not Arabic? I'm not in favor of abridging the Bill of Rights because some of us are s****ing our pants over fear of bogeymen. Save your fear for the real threats.

The Saudis are Wahhabis and I have seen nothing to indicate the mosque in question is Wahhabi ... the group behind it is led by a Sufi ... imo it is like saying the First Baptist Church is an arm of the Vatican ... i.e. what you say makes no sense whatsoever. But let's not let the facts get in the way.

"I consider these "Mosques" as an arm of the Saudi Government. They have their own "trials".. women are not allowed rights..family members can be killed...hate of other people is taught in their schools." A religious organization cannot act outside the law even if it is a religious act. Constitutional protections go only so far. They can have trials at a "Mosques" but they cannot commit murder without committing a crime. BTW the Catholic church and other christian religions teach hate and intolerance also. Just ask a gay person who grew up in one of those religions.
