In the letter, [Canadian ambassador] Wilson noted that Canada had surpassed Saudi Arabia as the largest supplier of crude oil to the United States, at 2.3 million barrels per day.
[…] Some analysts, however, are claiming that the [U.S.] clause was added after some political maneuvering by Saudi Arabia as it is “increasingly threatened” by Canada’s growing market share of oil production.Strategic resource analyst Paul Michael Wihbey recalling the November OPEC summit, said it was then that for the first time Saudi Oil Minister Ali Al-Naimi “took a swipe at the oilsands.” He claimed the minister then said “Canada is one of the world’s costliest oil producers and requires high prices to remain viable.” Al-Naimi had suggested the Saudi product was a better value for investors, claiming, it costs $40 to $60 a barrel to produce the oilsands crude from the massive reserves.
Wihbey underlines Saudi Arabia and Canada were direct competitors for the biggest customer: the US. David Kirsch, head of Oil Markets PFC Energy, says that “In the US mid-continent, the penetration of oilsands crude is deep, they are increasingly competing with the long haul crude from the Middle East. Until recently we saw a Saudi domination, but now it is becoming a Canadian affair.” And that’s why the Saudis are starting to play hardball, claimed Wihbey.

En 1969, le roi Baudouin crut bien faire en confiant à l’Arabie saoudite, par bail emphytéotique de nonante-neuf ans, les clés du pavillon oriental du parc du Cinquantenaire, à Bruxelles. Celle-ci y installa à grands frais le Centre islamique et culturel de Belgique (CICB), qui devint aussi le siège européen de la Ligue islamique mondiale, une ONG panislamique et prosélyte contrôlée par les Saoudiens. […] Tout au long des années 1980, l’influence du CICB se révéla contre-productive pour l’intégration des immigrés musulmans, au point qu’en 1990, les autorités belges lui retirèrent son statut d’interlocuteur officiel, ainsi que son rôle dans la sélection des professeurs de religion islamique.
Depuis 1979 [jusqu’à 2006, date de publication du livre], a calculé l’historien britannique Charles Allen [dans son livre God’s terrorists], les autorités saoudiennes ont consacré plus de 70 milliards de dollars à la diffusion de leurs idées.

Have you heard that?” by saying, “I’ve read reports of that and different analyses of it, but I think we should ask the reverse question: What is the United States doing to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for being the number one promoter of radical Islamic extremism, not only in their own country but around the world, spending hundreds of billions of dollars in funding madrasas in schools, and books and media outreach to try to influence people towards this ideology that’s fueling ISIS, fueling al-Qaeda, what to speak of the direct and indirect support that Saudi Arabia and some of these Gulf countries give to the enemy that we’re supposed to be fighting and defeating?”

One of the casualties of the recent ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) attacks in France and Belgium was the reputation of Saudi Arabia as an ally in the fight against ISIL. The media were all over the state of Islam in Belgium and many little-publicized facts were made very public. Chief among them was the role of Saudi Arabia played in building (at Saudi expense) mosques and religious schools in Belgium and then staffing them. These facilities were controlled by very-conservative (and anti-Western) clerics and religious teachers who were often trained in Saudi Arabia.
