The struggle between reformers and religious fanatics in Saudi Arabia continues. Leading Wahhabi cleric Sheihk Abdurrahman al-Baraak called for the deaths of journalists Abdullah bin Bijad Al-Otaibi and Yusuf Abu al-Khayl after they published articles in Al-Riyadh newspaper, questioning the view that Christians and Jews are unbelievers. While in most nations this would be viewed as an interesting question for a scholastic debate, Abdurrahman al-Baraak would like it to end in a double beheading. Bin Nijad wrote an article entitled, “The Islam of the Sharia and the Islam of Struggle” and Abu al-Khayl wrote an article entitled “The Other in the Islamic Balance.” Not exactly racey stuff, but the fatwa declares them both to be un-Islamic and states that “those who are against the Islam should be judged to repent, otherwise they should be killed and denied the burial rituals.” This follows a series of similar stories of medieval responses by religious extremists in the Kingdom, click here and here For the full story, click here.
