"The Wahhabi presence in the United States is a foreboding one that has potententially harmful and far-reaching consequences for our nation's mosques, schools, prisons and even our military. My fear is, if we don't wake up and take action now, those influenced by Wahabbism's extremist ideology will harm us in as of yet unimaginable ways." -U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY)

The Wahhabi sect of Islam is the purest and most violent form of Sunni Islam beliefs. It derives its name from the 18th Century Muslim scholar, Muhammad bin Abd al Wahhab. He taught that true Muslims had to swear loyalty to their religious leader and to follow his teachings in all ways. It also requires that those who wanted to be considered true Muslims must join in jihad (holy war). The objective of this jihad is to convert or kill all non-Muslims, and those who leave Islam. Osama bin Laden is a follower of Wahhabi Islam and founded the terrorist group al Qaeda on Wahhabi beliefs.

A University of South Florida professor and six others have were charged with aiding the terrorist group Islamic Jihad. A Dallas, Texas grand jury in a 42 count indictment, arrested leaders of the 'Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development,' charging its officals with raising more than $12 million dollars to funnel to the terrorist group Hamas. In New York, two Muslim clerics were arrested for alleged connections to al Qaeda and for attempting to purchase a shoulder-fired grenade launcher.

These and many other incidents show how deeply Radical Islam has become imbedded in the U.S. Among the primary suspects under investigation are groups financed by Saudi Arabian interests known to be making huge financial investments in the spread of the extremist Wahhabi Muslim doctrine in America.
Non-Wahhabi Muslim leaders in the United States say that approximately 80 percent of all U.S. mosques are under the control of Wahhabi imams and subsidized by Saudi Arabia. The Saudis have been pouring millions of dollars into creating a system of schools in the U.S., called Madrassas, teaching violent Wahhabi doctrines. The Saudis have also poured millions of dollars into Ivy League and other colleges for the construction of new buildings on their campus' in return for classes and text books that teach the radicalized doctrines of Wahhabi Islam. This method of spreading Radical Islam's goal in the U.S. is called 'Soft Jihad.'

'The Muslim Student Association,' with solid Wahhabi commitments, operates chapters on virtually every major campus in America. It has been in the forefront of organizing and executing anti- Isreal and anti-Western hate campaigns on campuses. A recent high profile example of this was the "The Muslim Student Association' gatering on the campus of UCLA.

The Wahabi's brand of religious militancy is not just a matter of being of its anti-American values, it is a menace to other Muslims who do not wish to embrace the violent methods of Wahhabism. This has been demonstrated by Muslim on Muslim war in Darfur, Sudan,where Wahhabi Muslims glady attack and kill other Muslims whom they deem are not violent enough for their ideology.

With the current Muslim on Muslim violence through out the Middle East, and the fact two American born citizens hold high level positions in al Qaeda and al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, recruitment of 'Homegrown Jihadists' in the U.S. is rampant, and our biggest danger of attack is from within the U.S.
