Did you see how Crown Prince MbS met with big Jewish rabbis in, IIRC, Jerusalem? MbS wants freedom of religion in the ME and forget the Jew hating. MbS is a true revolutionary. He has said that jihad already happened, it’s over, since everyone in the world has heard about Islam. So jihad is done with.
Yea. If this guy can survive, he will bring Saudi and maybe the entire middle east into the modern, post jihad world. If we can get Iran on the same page, then we have subdued the entire middle east and flowers and puppies will run free.
In the "Ender" series of fiction books by Orson Scott Card, there is an Arab leader who became the "Caliph" and tried to do the same thing. He was opposed by radical elements of religious fanatics.
This is fiction playing out in reality. If you ask me.
All Christians and Jews should pray for the success and survival of this reformist Saudi Prince. Within him lies hope for the world.
Certainly a major shift in perspectives & values.
