Yet another reason why we have to cut off the Saudi’s oil funds, pronto.

…radical Islamic clerics, trained in Saudi Arabia, are converting large numbers of African-American inmates not only to their religion, but to their political objectives, including virulent anti-Americanism. Colson thinks such inmates could serve the radicals as terrorists once they are released, murdering their own countrymen in a kind of “payback” for perceived injustices done to them by white America.

“There was a very deliberate recruitment process by the Saudis, trying to find black Muslims who had a real potential for Islamic learning and also for submission to their agenda. They taught Islam with the intent to expand their influence. A principal target was to stop the indigenous Muslim leadership in America from tinkering with their religion.”

This attraction of some blacks to Islam (and particularly Wahhabi Islam) remains incomprehensible to me, but if they insist on adopting the religion that originally sold them into slavery, we have to make sure that it’s not the most virulent form of it. We shouldn’t tolerate the teaching of this in prison any more than we would Naziism.
