A new report (link in PDF) from Freedom House’s Center for Religious Freedom finds that Saudi Arabia’s government has been distributing hate literature in American mosques, a Freedom House press release says:
The 89-page report, “Saudi Publications on Hate Ideology Fill American Mosques,” is based on a year-long study of over two hundred original documents, all disseminated, published or otherwise generated by the government of Saudi Arabia and collected from more than a dozen mosques in the United States. . . .
The report concludes that the Saudi government propaganda examined reflects a “totalitarian ideology of hatred that can incite to violence,” and the fact that it is “being mainstreamed within our borders through the efforts of a foreign government, namely Saudi Arabia, demands our urgent attention.” The report finds: “Not only does the government of Saudi Arabia not have a right–under the First Amendment or any other legal document–to spread hate ideology within U.S. borders, it is committing a human rights violation by doing so.”
