SAUDIS RECRUIT CLERICS AGAINST AL QAIDA
2004-06-06
Saudi Arabia has recruited clerics in the war against Al Qaida. Saudi authorities have urged leading clerics to oppose Al Qaida attacks and discredit the religious rulings of Osama Bin Laden.
Cut a few clerics' heads off and you'll be surprised at how the rest condemn terrorism...
The clerics were also ordered to condemn Al Qaida in Friday sermons in mosques. On June 4, Saudi mufti Sheik Abdul Aziz Al Sheik urged Muslims to cooperate with authorities in the war against Al Qaida. The mufti issued a ruling that ordered Saudi citizens as well as residents to report to authorities anybody suspected of helping Al Qaida. "The mufti urges citizens and residents to inform on anyone planning or preparing to carry out an act of sabotage," the sheik said. "This was meant to protect the people and the country from the destructive effects of such actions and to shield the planners themselves from the consequences of their actions."

#1  A little bit too late. A month ago, a Westener who understands arabic had to call our compound security to complain about an Iman broadcasting, at the top of his lung, death to Jews, Americans and other infidels. The broadcast was during Friday Prayer in the Mosque that backs up against this camp.
There are more saudis than westerners in this compound, and no a single one of them called to complain against this abuse. Why? Because most of them agree with what he was saying.
