International propagation of Salafism and Wahhabism is estimated to have spent $75 billion in efforts to spread Wahhabi Islam only under the reign of King Fahd (1982 to 2005). The money was used to establish 200 Islamic colleges, 210 Islamic centers, 1,500 mosques, and 2,000 schools for Muslim children in Muslim and non-Muslim majority countries. The Saudi Arabian government funds a number of international organizations to spread fundamentalist Islam, including the Muslim World League, the World Assembly of Muslim Youth, the International Islamic Relief Organization, and various royal charities. The funding has been criticized for promoting an intolerant, fanatical form of Islam that allegedly helped breed terrorism. More Info
