Saudi alliance with far right groups in the West
Look how Al-Arabiyya site (the station owned by King Fahd's brother-in-law) reports the blocking of a mosque construction in London. Al-Arabiya is "reporting" that the reason is technical, while the Evening Standard reports that: "The mosque has faced massive opposition from the local community and religious groups. More than 48,000 people have signed a petition against the development since the sect unveiled its plans for the site in 2007. The strict movement “utterly refutes any links to terrorism or terrorists”, but intelligence agencies fear al Qaeda could be using membership of the movement as a cover-up for networking with extremists in America."
