INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Muslims the world over must shun Mohammad bin Salman and members of the al-Saud tribe
two sites under the stewardship of all Muslim countries
MBS and the al-Sauds have so shamed Muslims and Islam that they have no legitimacy left, nor can they continue to claim their stewardship of
Islam.Throughout their rule of 90 years over what became Saudi Arabia, the al-Sauds have done little to uphold the teachings of Islam
a modest lifestyle and the sharing of wealth- equal opportunities to develop the self- rulers who serve with the approval of the community-
been magnified with the arrival of Mohammad bin Salman (MBS) on the scene
Just take a glance at his horrid record:- a palace coup- the imprisonment and torture of hundreds of dissidents- the execution of hundreds
