Saudi Arabian authorities: Stop the destruction of Masjid nabawi & Islamic sites!

The Issue

The Saudi government with its Wahabi interpretation of Islam has already destroyed scores of Islamic cultural/historic places such as in Mecca where the house of one of the Prophet's wives has been demolished to make space for public lavatories!

Ten years ago, a mosque which belonged to the Prophet’s grandson was dynamited. Pictures of the demolition that were secretly taken and smuggled out of the kingdom showed the religious police celebrating.

They have now moved a step closer with plans to destroy the iconic green dome of Masjid Nabawi. A pamphlet published in 2007 by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs – and endorsed by the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz al Sheikh – called for the dome to be demolished and the graves of the Prophet and his companions Abu Bakr and Umar to be flattened. Sheikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen, one of the 20th century’s most prolific Wahabi scholars, made similar demands.

When an idiotic movie about the Prophet was made, Muslims worldwide protested. It would be hypocritical of us now to allow the destruction of the Prophet’s birthplace, where he prayed and finally where he was buried.

Sign the petition to show your disgust at this injustice and to protect our heritage.
