UAC Action on Saudi Hate Propaganda

In accordance with its commitments as a state party to the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which was approved by
the United States Senate in April 1992 and then signed and ratified by
President George H. W. Bush on June 8, 1992, the United American
Committee calls on the Government of the United States of America to
enforce Article 20, Part II of the ICCPR, which declares:


"Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes
incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited
by law."


Therefore:


1) The United American Committee calls on the United States Government
to remove all Saudi Arabian publications from U.S. Islamic institutions
that constitute a human rights violation under the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights or any other human rights treaty
to which the United States is a state party.


2) The United American Committee calls on the United States Government
to ban the distribution and possession of any and all Saudi Arabian
publications in the United States that constitute a human rights
violation against the International Covenant on Civil and Political
Rights or any other human rights treaty to which the United States is a
state party.


3) The United American Committee calls for the United States Government
to ban the distribution and possession of official Saudi Arabian
religious publications until the government of the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia discontinues violating international human rights laws regarding
freedom of religion and the incitement to religious violence, hostility
and discrimination. In addition, this ban should include the requirement
that all official Saudi religious authorities and institutions cease
inciting Muslims to wage jihad (holy war) against American troops in
Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.


***************


For those who have not read the Freedom House report "Saudi Publications
of Hate Ideology Fill American Mosques", this report details the
contents of publications that were created by the government of the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and propagated in U.S. Islamic institutions.
These publications advocate violence and hostility against non-Muslims
and "apostate" Muslims who do not adhere to the official Saudi state
religion of Wahhabi Islam, and promote violence against homosexuals,
discrimination against women and xenophobia of "infidel" societies such
as the United States. The materials were obtained by Muslims and other
experts from Islamic institutions across the entire United States, and
were published primarily in Arabic.


The advocacy of such violence, hostility and discrimination is expressly
prohibited by international human rights law under Article 20 of the
International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights, which was ratified
by the United States on June 8, 1992.
