Saudis to Bush: No reduction of oil prices. Bush to Saudis: OK, we'll give you nukes

And when I touch you I feel happy, inside
More Fantasy-Based Policymaking over in the Kingdom of the Two Holy Places, where our Saudi masters have again rebuffed the dhimmi President's humble request for a reduction of the jizya. But ANWR drilling? Offshore drilling? Manhattan Project for alternative energy sources? Still not on the horizon.

"US agrees to help Saudi Arabia develop civilian nuclear program," from the Associated Press (thanks to Bryan):
President George W. Bush and King Abdullah formalized new cooperation on Friday between the kingdom and the United States on a range of topics, including the development of civilian nuclear energy in Saudi Arabia and US protection of Saudi oil fields.
The agreements came as Saudi Arabian leaders made clear that they saw no reason to increase oil production until their customers demanded it, apparently rebuffing a request made by the president directly to the king in an effort to stay the soaring US gasoline prices.
During Bush's second personal appeal this year to King Abdullah, Saudi officials stuck to their position that they are already meeting demand, the president's national security adviser told reporters.

"What they're saying to us is ... Saudi Arabia does not have customers that are making requests for oil that they are not able to satisfy," Stephen Hadley said on a day when oil prices topped $127 a barrel, a record high.
The Saudi government indicated that it is willing to put on the market whatever oil is necessary to meet the demand of its customers, Hadley said.
But even then, he said, Saudi leaders say increased production would not dramatically reduce pump prices in the United States.
The Saudis are investing in ways to increase oil production over time. Officials told Bush they are doing "everything they can do" for now to address a complicated market.
Hadley said the Bush administration will take the explanation back to its own experts and "see it if conforms."...

Uni draws more fire over Saudi cash

The Saudi Wahhabi attempts to infiltrate universities around the world and install Muslin centers goes on pretty much un-challenged. However there is a bit of good news from Australia where Judge Wall is calling out Griffith University for becoming a hotbed of Wahhabi radicalism and a stooge of the Saudis. The Wahhabis tactic of donating huge sums of money in order to place anti-western Muslim centers on college campuses is another means of attacking the West. In the long term, this tactic may be one of the more insidious as it grooms students to accept Islamic practices as "normal" and so reduces resistance to the Islamification of the West.

FROM THE AUSTRALIAN.NEWS.COM:

Uni draws more fire over Saudi cash

GRIFFITH University's attempts to justify accepting large donations from the Saudi Government by citing similar arrangements at Oxford and Harvard have been undermined by revelations British and American authorities have begun examining the growing influence of Muslim benefactors on tertiary institutions.

Britain's MI5 director-general, Jonathan Evans, reportedly told the Brown Government this month that the Saudi Government's multi-million-dollar donations to universities, along with other funds from Muslim organisations in countries such as Pakistan, had led to a "dangerous increase in the spread ofextremism in leading university campuses".
The warning came just days after the Higher Education Funding Council for England held a special meeting to confront fears Saudi donations were unduly influencing universities.
And the US Congress is also examining Saudi donations to American colleges.
Security expert Anthony Bergin, from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, yesterday warned Australian universities against diving for foreign handouts without properly considering the donor's motives.
"I'd put a fair amount of weight on the statement of the head of the MI5 that they're concerned about what degree of influence this sort of funding poses," he told The Australian.
"And I think, frankly, it would be naive to think that the (Saudis) would not want something in return for their donation. It would be a bit odd if they gave the money and said, 'Our first project is looking at human rights in downtown Riyadh'."
Dr Bergin said local national security agencies were closely monitoring foreign funds being channelled into Australian universities: "Of course, they're focused on these things."
As reported in The Australian yesterday, Griffith vice-chancellor Ian O'Connor has defended a $100,000 Saudi embassy grant received by his university's Islamic Research Unit, saying it was similar to donations received by Georgetown and Harvard in the US and Britain's Oxford.
His defence followed revelations that Griffith pleaded for a $1.37million fund from the Saudi embassy - of which it received only $100,000 - and offered the ambassador a chance to "discuss ways" in which the money could be used.
Professor O'Connor faced further criticism yesterday from a trio of long-time ABC religion journalists and commentators - Rachael Kohn, John Cleary and Stephen Crittenden - who said he had confused the Christian doctrine of Unitarianism with the Islamic sects of Wahhabism and Salafism in an opinion article published in The Australian. Professor O'Connor wrote: "Unitarianism is also known by its critics as Salafism or Wahhabism, after an 18th-century Islamic scholar Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab."
The ABC commentators responded by saying: "Ian O'Connor's equation of Wahhabism and Salafism with Unitarianism is utter nonsense.
"Unitarianism emerged as a liberal Christian movement and gained ground in the early
years of American democracy."
And in an interview with The Australian this week, Queensland District Court judge Clive Wall likened Griffith to Pakistani "madrassas" - renowned for producing extremists - and accused the university of becoming an "agent" through which the Saudi Government would promote radical Islam.
It is understood that Griffith has since invited Judge Wall tovisit the university's Islamic centre and meet its director, Mohamad Abdalla.

Judge Wall - who was appointed to the District Court in 1996 - has accused Griffith of becoming a Saudi stooge.

What We’ve Done for the Serbs, and What They Don’t Have to do for Us

Julia Gorin keeps up with events in Kosovo and the ever worsening incursion of Wahhabis into the region.

What We’ve Done for the Serbs, and What They Don’t Have to do for Us
By Julia Gorin (bio)
From Chris Deliso’s The Coming Balkan Caliphate:
Fears of Wahhabi militancy materialized on March 17, 2007, when Serbian police discovered a large cache of weapons in a remote mountain cave outside of Novi Pazar [in Serbia’s Sandzak region]. According to AP, “police found large quantities of plastic explosives, ammunition, face masks, military uniforms, bombs, food, water and other equipment,” as well as “propaganda terrorist material, military survival instructions, geographic charts and several CDs.”
…
The Wahhabis arrived in the Sandzak just a decade ago, from Bosnia….They came with the support of the radical, mujahedin-connected Active Islamic Youth, and have since been supported by Sarajevo radicals backed by Arab money funneled through Islamic charities in Vienna, as well as through diaspora channels in Sweden, Austria, and the United Kingdom. It is important to remember that this geographical progression of radicalism could not have existed without the deliberate installation of a foreign-funded charity and terrorist network, originally conceived by the West as a lifeline for the beleaguered Bosnian Muslim government of Izetbegovic against the Serbs, created under the watchful eye of the Clinton administration and German and Austrian intelligence.
Similarly, we infested Kosovo with Wahhabis, terrorists and radicals of all stripes, while dismantling a highly effective Serbian border patrol and security apparatus there and handing control over to heroin- and sex-traffickers, gangsters and jihad-connected “former” KLA. With our gifts to the Balkans in mind, let’s recall two incidents, also from Deliso:
ONE:
Sixteen months after the Madrid bombings, Serbian police “accidentally” found one of the key suspects in that plot, Moroccan citizen Abdelmajid Bouchar, while he was transiting through the country by train, probably in search of a safe haven in Bosnia or Kosovo. Bouchar had narrowly escaped capture at the hands of the Spanish police after the bombings, and subsequently fled to Brussels. However, since his network there has been disrupted by police, the Moroccan headed south for the Balkans, spending time in Austrian and Hungarian jails along the way. However, police in these countries failed to take the basic step of doing an Interpol fingerprint check on the futitive, and it would not be until their Serbian colleagues did so in July 2005 that the wanted terrorist was arrested and extradited back to Spain.
TWO:
While it received almost no media attention…a rocket attack [was planned] on the major world leaders, as they assembled at the funeral of Pope John Paul II in Rome on April 8, 2005…[Given] that the would-be attack was planned in a backwater Bosnian village, it is surprising that the plot received hardly a mention in the international media. Quite possibly, the full story would have been highly embarrassing for the many Clinton-era holdovers in government and think tanks who had made careers on the myth of the Bosnian Muslims as the benevolent victims and the Bosnian Serbs as bloodthirsty, anti-Western oppressors. Indeed, according to University of Belgrade terrorism expert Darko Trifunovic, despite the fact that Italy and Croatia took the credit for stopping the plot, “the intelligence originally came from the RS (Bosnian Serb Republic) services, which had their own sources in the area, and was given to the Italians in February 2005.”
According to Trifunovic, Bosnian Serb intelligence agents operating in the Muslim half of the federation discovered that terrorists in a small northeastern village, Gornja Maoca, were planning to attack the papal funeral with rocket launchers. The RS government shared this information with its Italian and Croatian colleagues, some two months before the event was to take place. However, the latter two countries only acted at the last minute. One day before the funeral, a Zagreb apartment was raided, yielding explosives; on the day of the funeral itself, two men were nabbed in Rome. According to Trifunovic, one of them, Said Rexhematovic, was a Bosnian and member of the radical group, Active Islamic Youth…The other man was an Italian convert to Islam, found in the possession of 11 rocket launchers, C-4 explosives, and detonation caps. Four months later, police in Croatia would arrest five more Bosnians involved with the plot, following a request from Italian military intelligence. For Trifunovic, “the fact that a village as small as Gornja Maoca could become a center for plotting major international terrorist attacks — this shows how dangerous is the international jihad network established in Bosnia during the war.”
With each passing day, Bosnia becomes more and more of a terror hub — with Bosnia itself the target as often as not, because of its on-and-off cooperation with the U.S. (for example, finally giving in to U.S. demands to deport the leftover mujahedin). As more and more Balkans-based plans against the U.S. materialize, Serbia and the Bosnian-Serb Republic, with their extensive knowledge of the region and their long-cultivated sources, are well-placed to disrupt those plots, just as they disrupted the Pope Funeral plot and just as they intercepted the Madrid-bombing terrorist.
Of course, whether the Serbs feel like doing so, and whether they feel like sharing such intel findings with us, is entirely up to them.
Let’s keep that in mind in between kicks to the Serbian groin.

Background and History

The kingdom of Saudi Arabia officially came into existence in 1932. The Al Saud clan, led by Abdul Aziz bin Saud (c. 1880 - 1953), had by this time gained total control of the region formerly known as Arabia. The process of forcing rival clans into submission began at the start of the 20th century. Aziz was supported by members of a movement called the Ikhwan, or Brotherhood. Aziz founded the Ikhwan from disparate Bedouin tribesmen in 1912. These religious fanatics shared the same brand of fundamentalist faith as Aziz, but they later objected to the clan leader's alliance with the British "Christians." Eventually, the relations between the Ikhwan and Aziz soured, and by 1930 the future monarch had annihilated them as a force.

The Ikhwan followed the branch of Islam known as Wahhabism. This intolerant and extremist ideology had been formulated by Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703-1792). Wahhab had been forced to flee from Medina, and he found protection in the person of Abdul Aziz's ancestor, Muhammad Ibn Saud, in 1744. At this time, the al-Saud family was based at the town of As-Dariyah in Najd region, near Riyadh. Wahhab's philosophy was derived directly from Ibn Taymiyyah: worship at shrines was considered forbidden, leading to a ban on tomb markers. Anyone who did not conform to Wahhab's strict interpretation was a heretic, and deserved to be killed. Like Ibn Taymiyyah, Wahhab saw any "innovations" (bida) in Islam to be heretical. For the theologians of Al Azhar University in Egypt, the ideology of Wahhab was primitive.
