RIYADH – The Saudi Arabian authorities have closed the twitter account of one of the Imams in the Grand Mosque in Makkah.

Sheikh Saud Al-Shuraim had reportedly posted comments about political and social issues in the Kingdom and criticised what he believes are violations of Islamic teachings.

Al-Shuraim was born in Riyadh in 1964. He has held several senior academic positions, including the Dean and Specialist Professor at Umm Al-Qura University in Makkah. He is also a judge at the High Court in the holy city.

His fellow Imam at the Grand Mosque, which houses the Kaaba, is Sheikh Abdul Rahman As-Sudais, who is loyal to the policies of the Saudi royal family. While Al-Shuraim has been praised by Muslims within and beyond the Kingdom over his courageous stances, Al-Sudais has been criticised for his “blind” support for the ruling House of Saud, which is regarded by many as irreligious, according to AlKhaleej Online.

I feel he will eventually make the kingdom unstable and that will be really tragic because those are our holy sites.

I think Hejaz should be put under OIC's control. They can have their Nejad.

Good move... Extremism needs to be elimated both in the physical and digital realm.

MARK MY WORDS " MBS IS THE BEGINING OF THE END OF RULE OF HOUSE OF SAUD AND KSA AS A UNITED SOVEREIGN STATE" I wish this doesn't happen but i am afraid its just around the corner and if the public rises against the house of saud the bloodshed will be unprecedented. May ALLAH (S.W.T) guide MBS to right path and he understands that taking so many pro-western initiatives simultaneously will not be welcomed by the people of the Holly land who have conservatism running in their veins for millenniums now. May ALLAH (S.W.T) protect all the muslims of the world in deneral and people of KSA (Including MBS and House of Saud) in particular from slightest of the bloodshed. AAMEEN.
