YNET NEWS: Islamic law professor issues religious decree calling for prosecution of Waleed bin Talal, al-Waleed al-Ibrahim as 'drug dealers' for owning commercial TV channels broadcasting 'inappropriate programs'
A Saudi cleric has published a "fatwa" (Islamic decree) calling for the prosecution of two of the kingdom's most prominent businessmen, who belong to the ruling family.
This fatwa is unusual as it states the names of the two officials and is not just a general call. The two men mentioned are business tycoon Waleed bin Talal, one of the wealthiest people on earth, and al-Waleed al-Ibrahim, the brother-in-law of former Saudi King Fahd.
Yusuf al-Ahmad, an Islamic law professor, called for the two men's prosecution as "drug dealers" due to the fact that they own commercial television channels broadcasting "inappropriate programs". Bin Talal owns Rotana TV and al-Ibrahim owns the MBC channel. >>> Doron Peskin | Tuesday, March 10, 2009
