Prince Alwaleed has given considerable amounts of money to American universities as well -- notably Georgetown, where dhimmi pseudo-academic John Esposito heads the Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. This story shows why the intellectual climate in Middle East Studies departments all over the U.S., as well as the U.K., is so pro-jihad and anti-freedom, and doesn't allow for any dissenting voices.
"Libya and the LSE: Large Arab gifts to universities lead to 'hostile' teaching," by Stephen Pollard in the Telegraph, March 3:
...Yet, on the most conservative estimate, other British universities have received hundreds of millions of pounds from Saudi and other Islamic sources – in the guise of philanthropic donations, but with the real intention of changing the intellectual climate of the United Kingdom.
Between 1995 and 2008, eight universities – Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, University College London, the LSE, Exeter, Dundee and City – accepted more than £233.5 million from Muslim rulers and those closely connected to them.
Much of the money has gone to Islamic study centres: the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies received £75 million from a dozen Middle Eastern rulers, including the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia; one of the current king’s nephews, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, gave £8 million each to Cambridge and Edinburgh. Then there was the LSE’s own Centre for Middle Eastern Studies, which got £9 million from the United Arab Emirates; this week, a majority of the centre’s board was revealed to be pushing for a boycott of Israel.

Harvard University accepted $20 million from a member of the Saudi Royal family to establish a center for ‘’Islamic Studies’’ and Shariah law.
So when does SMU get a branch campus in Mecca?
Prince Al Waleed the one who is the biggest investor in American TV and FOX, CNN, ABC, NBC? I hope the Shia take out the House of Saud.
What makes you think SMU is a Christian school???
Have you lost your ever-lovin' mind?
Can I hope they fight each other to the last man standing?
;-)
We’re losing faith in our universities anyway. Let them pour their money in, then when the conservatives decide to reform them the way we are going to reform the govt we can kick them out of their little ivory towers, too.
No. The House of Saud is the money that exports Islam to the west. You obviously have no clue.
LOL! People also think TCU or Notre Dame are Christian schools. They are all sports businesses anymore. Notre Dame gives medla s to muslims who support partial birth abortion.
American universities are more than willing to welcome Death Cult Members because they are “downtrodden” “victims” “oppressed” and dark skinned. The money helps.
A study of five years of politics lectures at the Middle Eastern Centre at St Antony’s College, Oxford, found that 70 per cent were “implacably hostile” to the West and Israel.
Yes. Being our enemies, this is not too surprising. The trouble is in getting the American Ruling Class - in fact, all of the west - to want to do something about it. But they think it is not in their best interest for America or the west to be strong. They want it weak kneed and defeated.
We need new leadership at all levels in America and Europe. Europe *may* be starting to wake up. We are waking up at the grass roots level but our leaders are against us. I hate that.
--Beginning in the 1980s, the Saudi Arabian government began to finance the construction of mosques in countries around the world.
An estimated US$45 billion has been spent by the Saudi Arabian government financing mosques and Islamic schools in foreign countries. Ain al-Yaqeen, a Saudi newspaper, reported in 2002 that Saudi funds may have contributed to building as many as 1,500 mosques and 2,000 other Islamic centers
That oil money has to go somewhere. They can’t spend much of it in the desert.
So, they use it to buy friends and influence around the world.
Thank you American environmentalist whacko movement. Your efforts have turned a river of money flowing into the Middle East into a flood of epic proportions.
You feel good and smug about your effort to save the planet. Will you feel anything when your severed head rolls in the ditch?
Wikileaks also pointed out what we already knew - The House of Saud helped fund the 911 Hijackers. The US public is so naive and stupid. Easily branwashed by TV including Prince Al Waleed’s Fox/CNN/ABC.
The Saudis money also goes to environmentalists. The public are easily brainwashed and lied to by TV but they are too stupid to pull the plug.
