In an interview with "Al-Arabiya", the Saudi Crown Prince suggests concentrating the constitution and laws on the Koran, eliminating many hadiths (sayings of the Prophet).

I wish him luck, but I don’t think Islam can be reformed.
“.....a Washington Post Reporter?”
I believe that the connection to the WaPo was way more tenuous than that of one of their [alleged] Reporters.
He was a terrorist disguised as a reporter.
Didn’t he enter the building on his two legs but left in pizza boxes..or something like that ?

This is huge. Those of us who have had hopes that Saudi Arabia can transformed from a sponsor of hardline jihad into a modernizing force in the Islamic world have cause for hope.
Remarks made by the real ruler of Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS), suggest that he carefully laying the grounds for a fundamental reinterpretation of orthodox Islam.
