Lonnie Haughey of Warner asked some interesting questions about Islam in his Nov. 13 letter. Haughey asks where the Islamists get the funds to build their mosques? Are the funds raised locally or provided by an Islamic country?
Clearly the latter. Oil-rich Mideast countries, primarily Saudi Arabia and Iran, provide unlimited funds to American members of Islam to build mosques and promote their so-called “religion of peace.”
In return, they get a sort of insurance policy that protects them from radical attacking of their palaces and homes.
If Phoenix readers think this is an hysterical view, I invite them to travel to Richardson, Texas. That once beautiful, fully American city of 100,000 or so is now virtually an Arabic city. Telephone books, street signs, posters, billboards, etc., all are in Arabic.
Richardson was the home of The Holy Land Foundation, a money-laundering front for Mideast money, which was in turn routed back to fund terrorism. Its leaders are now serving federal prison terms.
All in all, some sobering thoughts.
