[Ennahar] The Grand Mufti of Soddy Arabia, Sheikh Abdel Aziz al-Sheikh, condemned the riots in Arab countries, calling it "chaotic acts" carried out by "enemies of Islam", to "divide" the Mohammedan world, according to comments reported Saturday by the local press.
A little late for that, O knowledgeable Grand Mufti. The Muslim world is already divided into Sunni and Shia and all their offshoots, nations, tribes, peoples... | "These chaotic acts come from enemies of Islam and those who serve them," said the Mufti, who is known for his proximity to the Saudi monarchy, quoted by the daily Asharq al-Awsat.
"Encouraging to revolt (...) is to hit the nation (Mohammedan) in her heart and break her," he said during Friday prayers in Riyadh.
The uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia "hit" the economies of Mohammedan nations "in a plot to turn them into backward countries," said Mufti. |
