While it’s important to note that in his piece, Jeff Jacoby reminds us that most Muslims don’t share the xenophobic Wahhabi dogma, plenty do; and it is up to the moderate Muslims to “purge their mosques of the Saudi toxin, and to ostracize the extremists in their midst.”
In which country are Muslims being taught the following lessons?
+ “Everyone who does not embrace Islam is an unbeliever and must be called an unbeliever. . . . One who does not call the Jews and the Christians unbelievers is himself an unbeliever.”
+ “Whoever believes that churches are houses of God . . . or that what Jews and Christians do constitutes the worship of God . . . is an infidel.”
+ To offer greetings to a Christian at Christmas—even to wish “Happy holidays”—is “a practice more loathsome to God . . . than imbibing liquor, or murder, or fornication.”
+ Jews “are worse than donkeys.” They are the corrupting force “behind materialism, bestiality, the destruction of the family, and the dissolution of society.
+ Muslims who convert to another religion “should be killed because [they] have denied the Koran.”
+ Democracy is “responsible for all the horrible wars” of the 20th century, and for spreading “ignorance, moral decadence, and drugs.”
If this sounds to you like the kind of fanaticism you might encounter in Saudi Arabia—where the established creed is Wahhabism, an intolerant and extremist version of Islam—you’re right.

Never congratulate the infidel on his holiday. Never befriend an infidel unless it is to convert him. Never imitate the infidel. Never work for an infidel. Do not wear a graduation gown because this imitates the infidel.”
