Teaching intolerance

Thomas Friedman, writing in the NY Times, continues the lesson on the Saudi royal family. The short and sweet:

– their textbooks do not teach tolerance for non-Muslims: Muslims must “consider the infidels their enemy.”

– they don’t want America to know the truth about their country. The one time we sent a Arab-speaking ambassador, he was forced out after six months.

Friedman, as always, is an important read. What I’d like to know is when will a reporter get someone from the Bush administration on the record on this topic.
