The imam and preacher of the holy shrine of Sheikh Abdul Rahman al-Sudais, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, described the ambitious and inspiring young man as saying in a Friday sermon at the Holy Mosque in Mecca that the Kingdom is continuing the process of renewal despite threats and pressures.
While hinting at the current crisis Saudi Arabia faces after the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Sheikh al-Sudais said any attempts to describe the threat and abort renewal were desperate and would negatively affect global security, peace and stability.
He said that the attempts to undermine Saudi Arabia - perhaps referring to the accusations against the Saudi authorities of the assassination of Khashoggi and cutting his body apart - "provoked the feelings of more than a billion Muslims is their acceptance and the place of their occupations and the cradle of their message and the envy of their hearts."
Sheikh al-Sudais's sermon gave rise to a wide range of social media outlets. Many of the deniers condemned what they described as inappropriate exploitation of the Grand Mosque where Muslims were kissed and their avowed intent to promote a ruler facing charges of murder and representation of one of his compatriots.
Among those who commented on the sermon was Dr. Mohammed Al-Saghir, who wrote in a tweet on Twitter that "Al-Sudais will use the platform of the Haram to propagate to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia at a time when he is pointing the finger of genocide in Yemen and killing Jamal Jamal in the consulate, The treachery of the platform entrusted to him, and that the Lord of the house jealous .. (Vlhazr those who break his command to afflict them or affliction affliction painful).

Call for the removal of the crown prince
A group that said it was speaking on behalf of Saudi scientists opposed to the government's "Westernization" reform program called for the removal of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman because of the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the suspicion of his murder.
In remarks published on Twitter yesterday, the Saudi Association of Scholars blamed Salman's son for killing Khashoggi in a "hideous" manner that "runs counter to morality and humanitarian standards."
Saudi Arabia is facing "crises and problems" because of the "injustice and unfair policies that bear the responsibility of Mohammed bin Salman," and cited the arrests of "religious scholars, preachers and writers," and said Ibn Salman "to spread social and administrative corruption with incompetence and waste public money on what is not useful". "Finally, the injustice caused by the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi."
The Middle East said that the agency has been publishing Twitter data since late September and claims to represent scientists and academic students, according to earlier statements.
