Teaching hatred
Where is disrespect for infidels taught in Saudia Arabia?
"...Seventy years ago, before our country was rich, our people went to those infidel countries to work; our own people earned money there to support their families here. These people opened their countries to us and never treated us badly because of our religious or cultural background.
"What has happened in our society that we have reached this miserable stage? Who taught a 12-year boy to say those ugly words? Who is responsible for including unnecessary phrases full of hate in our school curricula? Why do we view non-Muslims with disrespect? Shouldn’t there be better criteria for judging all people, including Muslims?
"Who is responsible?
"No one dares answer.
"Why?
"Because we are first-class artists when it comes to putting blame on others. I’ve noticed that many fingers were — and still are — pointing at our schools for the misery we are now experiencing. This seems wrong to me. Yes, schools do share some of the blame, as we’ve seen, but definitely not all. Most of the blame should be put on the fathers and mothers of this generation — in other words, my generation. I know this might sound surprising to my generation but the time has come to be honest with ourselves and admit that we have not been close enough to our children. The majority of us have focused on enjoying the good times and never bothered to check what our children were learning."
