Fear of the next Juhayman instigates this. IS/ISIL/ISIS demonstrates for the world their version of 'pure' Islam. Saudi Arabia was given bloody stern warning coincidental to the Iranian hostage crisis during the siege of Mecca. Fallout from the siege of Mecca resulted in *global dawa, thousands of mosques planted throughout the non-Muslim world. *Hijrah,the mass migration of Muslims throughout the non-Muslim populations *legal dualism to accommodate the Cairo declaration of human rights/sharia enforcement upon non-Muslim populations
More: ICNA Report: The American Mosque from 2012 provides useful charts and graphs detailing the infiltration of American soil. The following quote from Page 4 of this report dispels the myth of Islamic heritage within the birth of the USA . . .under the heading Major Findings (bullet point three):
"The American mosque is a remarkably young institution: over three-fourths *76% of all existing mosques were established since 1980."
Since 1980. . .why 1980? Puzzle pieces may begin to fall into place when considering the following incident and resolution:
Quote: "On November 20, 1979, worldwide attention was focused on Tehran, where the Iranian hostage crisis was entering its third week. The same morning—the first of a new Muslim century—hundreds of gunmen stunned the world by seizing Islam’s holiest shrine, the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Armed with rifles that they had smuggled inside coffins, these men came from more than a dozen countries, launching the first operation of global jihad in modern times. Led by a Saudi preacher named Juhayman al Uteybi, they believed that the Saudi royal family had become a craven servant of American infidels, and sought a return to the glory of uncompromising Islam. "
It is an old story. I'm going to leave it up because it is important.
But I'm realizing Citizen Warrior is no longer a good source of stories.
I may remove him from our site entirely. This is the second time in a week you have checked me on a CW story.
Between his knee-jerk leftism (on the subject of Energy) and his posting of old stories, I'm finding the guy to be very tiring.

From Mission Report:
Earlier this month, news reports surfaced out of Saudi Arabia that raised the red flag for Christians.
Todd Nettleton, a spokesman for Voice of the Martyrs USA, says, "The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia—the top Islamic official in the country of Saudi Arabia—has declared that it is 'necessary to destroy all the churches of the region.'"
Nettleton goes on to note that the report hasn't surfaced anywhere except on the Council on Foreign Relations Web site, which was then picked up by The Atlantic.
As Saudi Arabia is ranked second on the Open Doors World Watch List (a compilation of the 50 countries where persecution of Christians is most severe), the news is not really a surprise.
There is no provision for religious freedom in the constitution of this Islamic kingdom.
All citizens must adhere to Islam, and conversion to another religion is punishable by death. Public Christian worship is forbidden; worshippers risk imprisonment, lashing, deportation and torture. Evangelizing Muslims and distributing non-Islamic materials is illegal. Muslims who convert to Christianity risk being subjected to honor killings, and foreign Christian workers have been exposed to abuse from employers.
Sheikh Abdul-Aziz ibn Abdullah, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, created an implication with his assertion.
Nettleton explains, "This was in a meeting with Kuwaiti officials who came to Saudi Arabia. They were asking this Islamic official, ‘What should we do about the churches?' His statement was, ‘There should be no Christian churches on the Arabian Peninsula.'"
According to the report, the delegation wanted to confirm Shariah's position on churches. Essentially, Nettleton says, "If you have churches in Kuwait, which they do, they should be destroyed.
The interesting thing about this is that there are no churches in Saudi Arabia. There are no church buildings that are allowed to exist there. So he clearly wasn't talking only for his own country. He was trying to export this ideology to the surrounding countries."
This proclamation could affect churches in Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Nettleton observes that "in most of these countries, we're not talking about a lot of churches; we're talking about a few that are allowed to exist primarily to serve foreigners that are living in that country."
However, the U.N. Human Rights Council has yet to take a stand on such blatant violations of freedom of religion.

You're right, Will.
It is an old story. I'm going to leave it up because it is important.
