Saudi grand mufti calls for demolition of churches

http://www.timesofisrael.com/saudi-grand-mufti-calls-for-demolition-of-churches/

According to wikipedia: The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia is the most senior and most influential Muslim religious and legal authority in Saudi Arabia. The holder of the position is appointed by the King. 

Pretty ISISy if you ask me.

Yes that's what I said. They are wahhabis, their history has been founded on religious extremism. It's a damn shame they are allowed to influence the region so much. I'm a bit happy they've wasted half their cash reserve on Yemen adn finally look like they're pulling their hand out of some things but they're still a huge problem

I've read been contradicting opinions on the financial stituation of the Gulf states in general. It seems that the economical "troubles" of Saudi Arabia in particular are overblown. I don't know what's the point of making those troubles bigger than they seem, but there's definitely something fishy going on there.
