| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Before commenting on Maronite Patriarch Bechara Boutros al-Rahi’s visit to Riyadh, and his historic meeting with King Salman ...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, Cutodian of the Two Holy Mosquesand Lord of Most of the Arabians.... , it is important to take a step back. We should also learn about the new Saudi leadership project, which is determined to fight fanaticism and enhancing religious and sectarian rapprochement. Rahi’s visit adds another chapter to it. In fact, expressions such as "war on extremism" or "promoting the culture of tolerance" have echoed so much that they have lost their meaning. This is because they often ignore the substance and turn into propaganda to silence Western governments and international organizations that place Arab and Moslem countries at the bottom of the list on religious freedom and anti-extremism efforts. |
