(FrontPageMagazine.com) Lee Kaplan - From Riyadh to Ramallah to the Ivy League, the Saudi Wahhabi lobby and money machine is funding the goals of radical Islam and undermining America's efforts to prosecute the War on Terror. The Saudis have steadily infiltrated American educational institutions, using vast infusions of money to turn the American educational system against U.S. support for Israel and in favor of the Saudi vision of a global Muslim state in which not only Jews, but Christians and all infidels, will have subordinate status to the followers of the "true faith." The Senate Judiciary Committee recently heard testimony that Saudis control most of the Muslim organizations in the U.S., and that 80% of the mortgages on mosques in the U.S. are paid for by the Wahhabist Saudis. King Fahd donated $20 million to set up a Middle East Studies Center at the University of Arkansas; $5 million was donated to UC Berkeley's Center for Middle East Studies from two Saudi sheiks linked to funding al-Qaeda; $2.5 million to Harvard; $8.1 million to Georgetown; $11 million to Cornell; $1.5 million to Texas A&M; $5 million to MIT; $1 million to Princeton; Rutgers received $5 million to endow a chair as did Columbia.
