Saudi twit.
Hmmmm, a Muslim “cleric” talking about truth.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaah!
Shove it up your Mohammed.

Twitter is full of what its subscribers put into it. That—in some cases—includes lies and misinformation, such as the New Age garbage that abounds on Twitter.
However, I do not believe that it is lies and misinformation that the Saudis are so afraid of. It is the TRUTH about islam, and its 1400-year-old plan to conquer the world!!!! And it is the truth about the Saudi/Wahhabi/Salafi role in that plan as it is being carried out today!!!!
