The Middle East Forum reports that, according to
several Arabic news sources, last Monday, Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin
Abdullah, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, declared that it is
"necessary to destroy all the churches of the region," reports Ucanews.
The Grand Mufti made his assertion in response to a question posed by
a delegation from Kuwait: a Kuwaiti parliament member recently called
for the "removal" of churches (he later "clarified" by saying he merely
meant that no churches should be built in Kuwait), and the delegation
wanted to confirm Sharia's position on churches.
Accordingly, the Grand Mufti "stressed that Kuwait was a part of the
Arabian Peninsula, and therefore it is necessary to destroy all churches
in it.
