Shame on us all

Hello Dr Pipes,
I have read quite a few articles of yours in the past and I see that you are focusing predominantly on all acts of Islamic aggression. Well there is a very easy way to stop the funding of all Islamic terrorists and thats to stop the purchasing of Saudi Arabian Oil. As it is the United States Dollars that goes into the coffers of the House of Saud that funds 90% of all terrorism and more importantly funds the Wahabism doctrine that is the root cause of radical Islam.

Cut off the money supply and you will kill this evil entity. But I fear that would be too simple because the United States Government (President George.W. Bush) lays in the same bed as The House of Saud.

Please bear with me a moment while I give a brief history of my family, I promise it is relavent. I am a 44 year old British Born (half caste) muslim, My father was born in what was then India but is now Pakistan. He served in Her Majesties Army and also in the Colonial Police Force for 15 years. He came to England in 1958 and settled in Bradford in Yorkshire. Met my mother who is English and raised my 3 younger siblings and myself as Muslims. sorry to go on but now is the relevant part.

At that time there was no mosque in Bradford so my Islamic learning was taught by my father from English translations of the koran, Hadiths etc. We were taught a peaceful Islam that bears no relation to Wahabism. It is only through the building of several mosques in Bradford funded by Saudi Oil money on the understanding that the Wahabi teachings are strictly taught to all worshippers in those mosques. Also and this is very important because most Pakistani's in Bradford tend to live in close communities any one not attending the mosques are harranged and embarrassed by their peers and neighbours to attend for daily prayers. It is here where the young are brainwashed to be more radical.

I have witnessed this particularly within the last eight years within my own neighbourhood where the stricter burka / hajib wearing by the women (which is not compulsory by the way under Islamic law) has become the clothing of choice.

I find that Wahabism is utterly reprehensible and resent that the sponsors of it The House of Saud, do not follow it in the slightest.

So what you see is an organised Nazification of Islam and wahabism needs to be stopped dead in its tracks.

PS message to Tim Burton you said "As a citizen of the United Kingdom, I (and many of my colleagues, friends and acquaintances) will be switching our allegiance to the BNP - a party that is not afraid to stand up to the bullying and intimidatory tactics of the Islamists in this country."

Might I just say thats how Hitler came to power if we will enpower the BNP to become a government we will be collectively be responsible for the next Holocaust.
