Wherever you have Muslims, you have increased support for Islamic activity, which includes terrorism.
Wherever you have Jews, you have increased support for Zionism.
If there had not been a Saudi-funded mosque in Culver City and a Halal restaurant on Venice Blvd in Culver City, there might not have been a 9/11 attack.
Why are these institutions that played a role in the 9/11 attacks still allowed to operate with impunity and to facilitate more attacks on us?
The California connection involves Nawaf Hazmi and Khalid Mihdhar, two Al Qaeda veterans of conflicts in Bosnia and Afghanistan. They flew into Los Angeles International Airport as students in January 2000 and prayed at a Culver City mosque built by the Saudi royal family and frequented by a Saudi consular official.
They later moved to San Diego where they tried to improve their English and took flying lessons at the Sorbi Flying Club.
Their move to San Diego later drew the interest of FBI agents searching for any evidence of Saudi support for the attacks, according to the 9/11 Commission report and to recently declassified material from the congressional inquiry.
While eating at a halal restaurant on Venice Boulevard in Culver City, near the blue-tiled dome of the King Fahad Mosque, the two men’s Gulf Arabic drew the attention of a Saudi named Omar Bayoumi, who had a no-show job with a Saudi defense contractor in San Diego, investigators found.
Bayoumi offered to let the newcomers stay in his apartment in San Diego for a few days and later helped them pay the deposit for an apartment.
The FBI suspected that Bayoumi, who bureau informants considered a Saudi intelligence operative, was sent to meet the pair by a Saudi consular official named Fahad Thumairy, who also led prayers at the Saudi-funded mosque.
When retracing Bayoumi’s steps, FBI agents found that he had visited the Saudi consulate in Los Angeles and saw Thumairy on the same day he met Hazmi and Mihdhar.
Whether those meetings were coincidence or a link that proves official Saudi complicity in the plot is key to the families’ claims against the kingdom.
“No one ever said Bayoumi or Thumairy were senior government officials, but a government is responsible for lower level officials who cause death or injury to people under the cause of their employ,” said Jack Quinn, one of the lawyers for more than 2,000 family members of Sept. 11 victims.
