Good job exposing their radical ideology. I recommend you investigate two other related groups which share their ideology.

1) The American Open University: http://www.aou.edu/

and

2) The American Interglobal University: http://www.aminuniversity.com/

These groups do not prescribe the normal, orthodox Sunni curiculum which would include classical logic, Arabic grammar, and classical Sufism (tasawwuf). Rather, they prescribe a distorted curriculum which includes ideological tracts by Sayyid Qutb, Salman al-Oudah, and other heterodox "Wahhabi" or "Salafi" Muslims. The difference between the orthodox Sunnis and these Salafis is like the difference between night and day. I think it is important for all commentators, analysts, and policy makers to learn more about the crucial difference between classical orthodox Sunnism and new age Islamist heresy.
