About 24,000 ‘madrassas’ in Pakistan are funded by Saudi Arabia which has unleashed a “tsunami of money” to “export intolerance”; a top American senator has said adding that the US needs to end its effective agreement to the Saudi sponsorship of radical Islamism.

Senator Chris Murphy said Pakistan is the best example of where money coming from Saudi Arabia is funneled to religious schools that nurture hatred and terrorism.

According to some estimates, since the 1960s, the Saudis have funneled over 100 billion USD into funding schools and mosques all over the world with the mission of spreading puritanical Wahhabi Islam.

Murphy said that the political alliance between the House of Saud – Saudi Arabia’s ruling royal family – and orthodox Wahhabi clerics is as old as the nation, resulting in billions funneled to and through the Wahhabi movement.
