A member of the 9/11 commission has broken his silence about some of the unreleased findings:
A former Republican member of the 9/11 commission, breaking dramatically with the commission's leaders, said Wednesday he believes there was clear evidence that Saudi government employees were part of a support network for the 9/11 hijackers and that the Obama administration should move quickly to declassify a long-secret congressional report on Saudi ties to the 2001 terrorist attack.
The comments by John F Lehman, an investment banker in New York who was Navy secretary in the Reagan administration, signal the first serious public split among the 10 commissioners since they issued a 2004 final report that was largely read as an exoneration of Saudi Arabia, which was home to 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11.

Even worse is these mosques that spew out hate propaganda against the western society and is a recruiting ground for militant Islam. And the sponsor is Saudi Arabia and other Wahhabism countries. Those that have the highest tendency to along this seems to be small time criminals but even this the authorities miss time from time.
So one can make the case that some actions are actually permitted to happen. Then some new law for intruding on the privacy is introduced.

Have a look here:
No Petrodollar Land Grabbing for Qatar in Brussels [stopterrorfinance.org]
Saudi Arabia has devoted over $70 billion to the cause of exporting Salafism/Wahhabism all over the world since the late 1970s.
Qatar mostly invests in mosques managed by the Union des Organisations Islamiques de France (UOIF), an umbrella organization including and representing about 250 Muslim organizations on French soil, most of them renowned for their solid ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. This was the case for both the Assalam mosque in Nantes – Qatar paid most of the €4.4 for its construction – and in Mulhouse – for which Qatar Charity disbursed €2 million. The country donated about $1 million to build a mega mosque in Cork, a town that hosts the second biggest Muslim community in the Ireland.
“More temperate or muted versions of Islam were smothered by Wahhabi petrodollars,” writes A.D. Kendall on Moneyjihad.
Through mosques and schools, Wahhabi patrons secured effective channels of indoctrination and propaganda – even recruitment if need be - as well as a privileged cover for potential illicit financial transactions.
What is new is the determined official stance of the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who refused to approve the funding that the Qatari government made available for the project and stressed that “it would be paradoxical and against nature to accept funding coming from a country that does not allow religious freedom.”
The decision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not isolated. In February 2015, the Austrian Parliament adopted legislation that prohibited Muslim organizations from accepting foreign sources of funding, a measure that France has been considering as well. Shortly after the November 13 terrorist attack in Paris, Iceland’s President took a stance against a donation of a $1 million from Saudi Arabia. Germany’s Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel warned Saudi Arabia..
French senior imam Hassan El Alaoui told Al Jazeera that "according to official figures and our discussions with the interior ministry, between 100 and 160 more mosques will be closed because they are run illegally without proper licenses, they preach hatred, or use takfiri speech."

Your own citation disproves your claim. The muslm brotherhood are not wahabis. They call themselves salafist, but most other salafists don't think they qualify. I know it is hard to distinguish between sects of a religion you have no familiarity with, but at least try to get the basics right, ok?
