Saudi Arabias top cleric said on Tuesday that extremism, and the ideologies of groups like the Islamic State and al-Qaida, are Islams No. 1 enemy, and that Muslims have been their first victims. Grand Mufti, Sheik Abdul-Aziz Al-Sheik, also said in his public statement that terrorism has no place in Islam, and that the danger of extremists lies in their use of Islamic slogans to justify their actions that divide people... King Abdullah has been pressing clerics to publicly condemn Islamic extremist groups since the government made it illegal for citizens to fight in conflicts abroad. Clerics who do not condemn terrorism, in traditional Friday sermons, could face penalties, such as having their licenses to preach revoked.
