Money for Opening Madrasas

Submitted by Vishal Verma (France), May 2, 2005 at 21:12

Rich Arabs have plenty of money to Open Islamic Institutes(i.e. Madrasas) and Mosques. Recently, Saudi Arabian money, $500 million, was used to build just one mosque in a south Indian State. There are hundreds of others being opened in India and elsewhere.

Ultimate aim is to use oil money to spread Islam far and wide. This is happening very subtly, under the guise of peaceful of "peaceful ISLAM". With the Birthrate that muslims have and with oil money, it won't be long that there would be more conflicts around the world. But no one in power is willing to understand it.

I wish to ask these Saudis, why they do not allow other religions to at least openly pray in Saudi Arabia since they consider it their right to spread Islam far and wide using their oil money. But who will bell the CAT. Not Bush or Blair.
