By: Abdulali
HOLY CITY OF MAKKAH, Saudi Arabia: Imam at the Grand Mosque in the
holy city of Makkah Sheik Adil Al-Kalbani claimed that Shiite citizens
of Saudi Arabia have taken more than their right.
His statement to BBC Television that on aired on Monday evening came
in such a time when Shiite citizens voice discrimination and bias
against them in every institution of the kingdom as well as the latest
annual report by the independent U.S. Commission on International
Religious Freedom said that despite some limited reforms, the
government continues to interfere with private religious practice, and
arrested, detained and jailed Shia Muslim dissidents and Ismaili
Muslims.
Al-Kalbani, son of a poor immigrant from the Persian Gulf, is the
first prayer leader at Grand Mosque in Holy Makkah who belongs to
African origin.
Leading prayers at the Grand Mosque is usually reserved for
pure-blooded Arabs from the Saudi heartland.
