| Saudi Authorities Shut down Husayniyah in Ahsaa, Prevent Friday Prayers | |
| 2016-02-13 | |
[ALMANAR.LB] Saudi authorities prevented Friday prayers in a Husayniyah in al-Ahsaa governorate, as tensions rise over the execution of prominent holy man, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.
The newspaper said that the move comes after Sheikh Radhi slammed the Saudi authorities. The move also comes after some media reports said that Sheikh Radhi was summoned for questioning, according to Khabir. Sheikh Radhi slammed the Saudi regime over the execution of Sheikh Nimr, the war on Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... as well as the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... ideology which he considers is widespread in the Saudi Kingdom. Sheikh Nimr was a vocal supporter of the mass pro-democracy protests against Riyadh, which erupted in Eastern Province in 2011, where a Shia majority has long complained of marginalization. | |
