State Department commission chief calls Saudi Wahhabism a ‘strategic threat’
The Saudi government continues to finance and export its extremist Wahhabi strain of Islam, and as such is a "strategic threat" to the United States.
That’s the assessment of the chairman of a State Department commission in a November 18 hearing called to discuss whether Wahhabism constitutes a threat.
The Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security held a June hearing titled "Terrorism: Growing Wahhabi Influence in the United States." It summoned the FBI to testify. The FBI avoided the subject completely. (The Center’s Alex Alexiev testified at the same hearing on Saudi-backed Wahhabism worldwide.)
The Commission on International Religious Freedom has performed a valuable public service where larger government agencies have not. May the others take heed of its warning.
