WOW… someone in Pakistan is digging out all the filth they can find on Saudis and spreading like crazy. If you search “Destroy all churches in Gulf, says Saudi Grand Mufti” on google, you only see Pakistani news sources or 3 years old news.

This is exactly 3 years old news.

^ No one needs to throw filth on the Saudis, they are doing a good job themselves.

Wah, wah - I thought only our brethren share items like these.

It takes time to see the result of this fatwa anyway, doesn't matter if it's old news

Nothing to be surprised of

Re: Destroy all churches in the gulf: Saudi grand mufti

The issue is not the fatwa. I don't think Boko Haram or ISIS really care about that fatwa anyways. The issue is that such news are being actively recycled in Pakistan. I have seen a few already. It seems they want to make Pakistan the next big playground for Iran v/s Saudi proxy wars. While we should beware of the games they play, we also need to differentiate between 'news' and 'propaganda'.

^ unless Saudi has suddenly become progressive it is still news.

Re: Destroy all churches in the gulf: Saudi grand mufti

Actually, it would be opposite of ‘news’.
NEWS

  1. information about something that has happened recently

  2. information about recent events that is reported in newspapers or on television or radio

  3. a television or radio broadcast that gives you information about recent events, read by a newsreader with special reports by correspondents

Re: Destroy all churches in the gulf: Saudi grand mufti

Theoretically u r correct. Practically since such things still happen good to refresh people memory of current reality

10

Re: Destroy all churches in the gulf: Saudi grand mufti

Nothing wrong with refreshing memories. Passing it as news, which Pakistani websites are doing, is unethical "journalism".

11

Re: Destroy all churches in the gulf: Saudi grand mufti

I agree. Also you had implied there may be a hidden agenda wrt Iran vs Saudi.

12

Re: Destroy all churches in the gulf: Saudi grand mufti

Maybe it is news since there might be saudi backed madressa which is creating pakistans version of boko haram/isis etc

People living in pakistan will know better

Re: Destroy all churches in the gulf: Saudi grand mufti

There actually is. There is active support for sectarian issues from both saudis and Iranians in Pakistan.

Also note the "timing" of this "news".

I'm just worried that they are pushing Pakistan into their wider regional conflict.
