Look for the Saudi label

What? Isn't that a bit of a stretch?

I'm not sure.

Yesterday, on Fox News, Tony Snow hosted a conversation with Bernard Lewis, and he said something tantalizingly brief, yet very interesting, and perhaps revealing about the Saudis, but it wasn't followed up on.

It was something to the effect that the House of Saud had, in the past 25 or so years, essentially bought its way into American universities (USC is a prime example), mosques, and, if I might quote..."has promulgated its own particular form of Christianity," in America.

As I said, it wasn't followed up on. But I sure began to think of a church experience I went through a couple of years ago.

I mean - without seeming to look for strawberries, or anything - this subtle creeping of Wahabbism into the American scene and even consciousness over a quarter century, is unsettling, to say the least.
