Saudi Arabia: Journalists, officials criticize Sheikh Kalbani
By: Abdulali
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: The government of Saudi Arabia has so far
been silent about the outcry provoked by Grand Mosque of Makkah Sheikh
Kalbani’s evil statements.
However, last Saturday, Prince Misha’al bin Abdulaziz, Chairman of
Allegiance-Pledge Commission and also the King’s half-brother,
reiterated that "all Saudis are Muslims."
"No to racism, not sectarianism!" Prince Misha’al said in a statement
to Okaz.
The next day, Turki Al-Sudeiri, the influential managing director of
the pro-government Al-Riyadh newspaper, rejected Sheikh Kalbani,
deploring the “shameful” Sunni-Shiite rifts.
"I am stunned by the statements of Sheikh Kalbani who damned Shiite
clerics," Sudeiri said.
More explicitly, Sheikh Osama Khayat, the imam-preacher of the Grand
Mosque, warned in his Friday sermon against "any behaviour harmful to
the unity of Muslims and against any verbal excess.”
"I advise Muslims not to publish statements, make declarations or give
interviews on various media, which may harm Muslims," Sheikh Osama
said in his weekly sermon.

better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
