Is This Man Presidential Material - An Interview With Rob Andrews
by Joseph Puder from The Philadelphia Bulletin
Pruder: Saudi (Wahhabi) money, according to the Freedom House Report, is funding 80% of U.S. mosques, including the salaries for imams and the publication of anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, and anti-American material being distributed throughout Muslim communities. What should Congress do about it?
Rob Andrews: We need to say to the Saudis that they must make a choice. They are either going to be on the side of civilization and reasonable behavior and put a stop to subsidizing hate campaigns, or they're not. And, candidly, the Bush family has blind spots when it comes to the Saudis. The Saudis got a free ride from this administration, and if the administration would apply the standards it applied to Hamas and Arafat, we would be in a different place with the Saudis. The Saudis must make a choice between a relationship with the Islamists and a partnership with us.
