The quaint grand mufti
Reader comment on item: Obama to Palestinians: Accept the Jewish State
in response to reader comment: A little Invention
Submitted by Jeff (United States), Apr 4, 2013 at 20:46
Recently, the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia stated that all churches in the Arabian peninsula must be destroyed. The grand mufti, Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, based his judgement on a hadith of Mohammed.
The grand mufti also happens to be the highest religious authority in Saudi Arabia, head of the Supreme Council of Islamic Scholars, and has spent his life studying Islam. Did he invent a hadith, too? quaint!
