There is no \u2018moderate\u2019 or \u2018immoderate\u2019 Islam; Islam is one. The aim of using such terms is to weaken Islam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cPerhaps the person voicing this concept thinks it belongs to him. No, it does not belong to you,\u201d President Erdogan said, without referring to Mohammed bin Salman by name.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhile the official ideology in Saudi Arabia is Islam, an ideology known as Wahhabism is preached by government-sanctioned clerics in the country. That same ideology is practiced by the Takfiri terrorists wreaking havoc in the Middle East region and beyond, as well.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" height=\"313\" src=\"http:\/\/madaresharghi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/597015ab-810f-4181-91b0-398eb6f06e64.jpg\" width=\"555\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"color:#3399ff;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (C) attends the so-called Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, October 24, 2017.

I guess they will give this right when they turn to the moderate one,\u201d Erdogan said, sarcastically.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBin Salman was appointed the first in line to the Saudi throne by his father, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, in June. Since then, he has engaged in a string of radical economic and social projects that he has attempted to portray as \u2018reformist\u2019 in nature.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBut those projects have been widely seen to be more about consolidating personal power and less about bringing about real change to the country. Over the last two weeks, he has been involved in an aggressive push to purge royals and businessmen critical of his policies under the banner of an \u2018anti-corruption campaign.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAnd while a royal decree was issued in September to lift the ban on women\u2019s driving in June 2018, the Wahhabi clerics in the country remain free to preach their extremely intolerant ideology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>madaresharghi In harsh but indirect remarks addressed to Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the Saudi Arabia official does not own the Islamic faith.
