It would be useful if they transcribed the full speeches they came from so we can see for ourselves. According to the new Priavte Eye, a chap called Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz has been waging jihad via the British libel laws and the Observer panicked over a piece about him by Cohen recently.

I think comparing issues over Saudi weapons deals with missionary activity funded by Saudi private citizens shows he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. I'd be astonished if actually knows what wahhabism is.
