"Destroy All Churches"

I wasn't sure whether the Washington Times might have got the story wrong, but Arabian Business is reporting it also:

The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia has said it is “necessary to destroy all the churches of the region,” following Kuwait’s moves to ban their construction.
Speaking to a delegation in Kuwait, Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, stressed that since the tiny Gulf state was a part of the Arabian Peninsula, it was necessary to destroy all of the churches in the country, Arabic media have reported.
Saudi Arabia’s top cleric made the comment in view of an age-old rule that only Islam can be practiced in the region.
The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia is the highest official of religious law in the Sunni Muslim kingdom. He is also the head of the Supreme Council of Ulema (Islamic scholars) and of the Standing Committee for Scientific Research and Issuing of Fatwas.

For some odd reason, the mainstream media aren't reporting this story.  Perhaps because it would not fit their model of how morally superior Islam is to Christianity?

  1. Nah, they just agree with the ends. The means, well, they've always believed the Ends justify the Means.

  2. I've long said that if liberal western women understood what was at stake here, western men would be shamed into joining the military and those who did not qualify by reason of physical infirmity would wear an emblem signifying that and would seek work in defense and intelligence.
