Saudi Cleric’s Remarks Against Yemeni People Draw Criticism Over Allegations

Shiite News: Saudi cleric Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan has strongly criticized Yemen’s resistance movement and the Yemeni people in a recent statement, making a series of allegations against their beliefs and activities. The statement has drawn criticism over what opponents describe as unsupported and fabricated accusations against the Yemeni movement and its people.

According to the statement, Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan alleged that the beliefs and methodology of the Yemeni movement were based on spreading disorder and accused its members of declaring the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to be disbelievers. He also alleged that the Yemenis had caused disorder in the country, rebelled against what he described as legitimate rulers, and targeted Islamic holy sites.

Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan further alleged that the Yemenis had divided the country and its people and had permitted the killing of Muslims and the destruction of mosques.
