SAUDI VANDALISM. Here is an interesting article about Saudi Muslims destroying historical and significant religious sites. This article by Stephen Schwartz reports that Wahhabis have a long history of vandalizing and destroying monuments. This includes gravestones! They have destroyed houses, gravestones, cemeteries, Muslim shrines, and even mosques. They believe these are idols. They have even done this in other countries, destroying graveyards in Kosovo and tombs in Kurdistan. Read the whole article. It shows how extreme Wahhabism is and how dangerous it is, since it is backed by the Saud family fortune and the government of Saudi Arabia.

Interesting article. It's good to see that you're reading the Weekly Standard. I'm fond of Bill Kristol, and am glad that alumnus David Brooks moved up to the Atlantic Monthly.
