Locals Call Virginia School Breeding Ground For Terrorists

A coalition opposing the expansion of the radical Islamic Saudi Academy in Fairfax County, Va., has filed a conflict-of-interest complaint with the Virginia state attorney general over the county government’s role in distributing invitations to an Islamic dinner.

Invitations to the free dinner – which is billed as, “Understanding Islam Conference: A Symposium to Promote Peace, Harmony, Understanding and Cultural Diversity” – were distributed by e-mail to county residents by Fairfax County official Sandra S. Chisholm, community interfaith liaison for the Department of Systems Management for Human Services.

Local citizens trying to block the expansion of the Saudi academy, which they say is a “breeding ground” for terrorists, complain that the conference reveals the county’s bias in the fight.
