Saudi grand mufti called for destruction of all churches in Arabian peninsula

The grand mufti of Saudi Arabia has called for the destruction of all churches in the Arabian Peninsula, claiming that the move is in line with Islamic law.

The call comes days after Islamic State militants published images on Twitter showing jihadists attacking an ancient church and cemetery in Mosul, northern Iraq, and weeks after an MP in the Gulf state of Kuwait announced plans to introduce a bill forbidding the construction of new churches.

The senior Sunni cleric, Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, told a delegation from Kuwait on Tuesday that it was “necessary to destroy all the churches of the region,” according to the Arabian Businesses news website.

The sheikh is head of the Supreme Council of Ulema [Islamic scholars] and of the Standing Committee for Scientific Research and Issuing of Fatwas. He is seen as the highest official of religious law in the Sunni Muslim kingdom.

Last month, Kuwaiti MP Osama Al-Munawer announced plans to submit a bill calling for the removal of all churches in the country. Mr Al-Munawer later clarified that the law would only apply to new churches, while old ones would be allowed to stay erect.

The Gulf is home to around 2 million Christian migrant workers, and new churches have been built to accommodate them. Around 1.5 million Catholics live in Saudi Arabia, but church-building is strictly forbidden there.

I don't like Jews almost as much as I don't like muslims. But I'm not anti-semetic or islamaphobic. I just find them untrustworthy and divisive.

You are possibly the most unintentionally hilarious poster on WHO.

I always read your posts with Alan Fords voice in my head.

I posted about the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, the OP is about the grand mufti of Saudi.

Not sure why it upsets you so much, probably embarassment.

I won't bother to respond to your Woody allen comment, I have never mentioned him, but you seem obsessed with him.

Gav- I just find rios opinions comical as he chooses to ignore European and specifically English anti semitism throughout history.

He keeps wanking himself off about a one man who spoke in a very small capacity for a people who his Jewish brethren ethnically cleansed. He does not see the actual similarities of nazis and Israeli governments. Plus rio supports woody allens attitude to fucking his own kids.

This is WHO. You can read anything into anything.

67 has a longstanding penchant for errant punctuation, but he uses it for its proper purpose - to clarify the intent of his words. So when he puts a period after Ronald (note the lack of the customary diminutive), you know he means business.

I'm not sure too much can be read into 67's errant punctuation. It's a period he is going through.

Ron

When 67 (3:13 Sat Mar 21) calls you Ronald-full-stop, you know you're in trouble.

Not really

Obits is not a word

Jew against Arab. Sunni against Shia, Christian against Muslim.

So much opportunity for divide and rule in the geo-political game.

Nobody in charge wants peace in the ME. It would be bad for business. A little collateral damage around the world is a small price to pay to keep those petrodollars rolling in.

Re: Saudi grand mufti called for destruction of all churches in Arabian peninsula

Ronald. I see that accusing Israel of being slightly over zealous in their Aerial war on a refugee camp , is enough to be called an anti-semite

Re: Saudi grand mufti called for destruction of all churches in Arabian peninsula

Stirling is getting a bit miffed I see from all the aslan stuff.

Sorry mate but its only factual reporting, innit.

Saudi is the home of Islam and its totally, totally fucked up. And you know the reason why. Its because the wahhabis and salafists rule the roost and they insist on the literal interpretation of your holy books. Even more so, they insist on shit that isn't even in there, like the niqab and fgm.

Why do you lot care? How many of you cunts are practising Christians who go to church every week?

Exactly. Fuck off and let them do what they fucking like.

Re: Saudi grand mufti called for destruction of all churches in Arabian peninsula

But let's ignore the mass conversions, church burning and nun raping in Hindu India.

And rio fuck off with your boring shit re Israel. Fck off with your Jew shit.

I'm with him on destroying all churches, but can we add synagogues, mosques and all the other freaky places

I can't disagree with that. I'm sure Coffee would say the same.
