Fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 terror flyers were saudi, as is Osama Bin
Laden. They have been the primary financial donor to Al Quaeda and
the Taliban, and in addition, have funded the religious-extremist-
indoctrination madrasas in Pakistan. Al Quaedans themselves are
mainly Wahhabist; Wahhabism is an intolerant, fanatically zealous,
violent and virulent strain of Islam that is allied with the House of Saud
as the official Saudi Islam; they aggressively export it around the globe,
including to the US, by financing the building of mosques for indigenous
Muslims, in which they then proceed to install radical Wahhabist clerics.
All in all, it's a pretty nasty picture. I do not see Great Britain pushing a
killer strain of the Church of England in this manner, nor do I expect that
they will.
