GRAPEVINE, Page 15Tapes of Wrath
By JANICE CASTRO
Muslim extremists are widening their following in Saudi
Arabia. Despite the kingdom's jailing of the 20 leading Saudi
fundamentalists, tape recordings of their sermons seem to be
everywhere. The fundamentalists maintain that American troops
were sent to the gulf not to fight Saddam Hussein but to prepare
for war between Christianity and Islam. The Saudi preachers also
contend that Protestants from the West have been exploiting
tensions between Israel and its Arab neighbors to this end. They
cite actions by American Presidents Richard Nixon and Jimmy
Carter as well as televangelists Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Falwell
and Pat Robertson as "proof." Their advice to their followers:
seek converts, especially in America; send Korans and money to
Palestinian Muslims and urge them to procreate; and commission
the best weapons that money can buy -- from Japan.
