To legitimize his ascent, fulfill his absolutist ambitions and face v=rious internal and external challenges, Prince Mohammed has presented and p=sitioned himself as the champion of "modernization." Several of the crown prince's statement= and initiatives — calling for a moderate Islam, authorizing wo=en to drive, reopening cinemas — have been interpreted as his desir= to break the historic pact between the House of Saud and the Wahhabi relig=ous establishment. In the mid-18th century= the Saud embraced Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, a revivalist preacher who ad=ocated a narrow reading of the Quran and the Hadith and attacked any deviat=ons from or accretions to the original practice. People who deviated from t=e Wahhabi doctrine were excluded from Islam, and jihad was considered the o=ly way to bring them back to the right path. The compact with Wahhab and his disciples helped the Saud to legitimize a= expansionist policy and create a durable state in the early 20th century. T=e Saudi monarchy monopolized political and military action; the Wahhabi cle=ics took charge of the religious, legal and social spheres. =/div> Regards, Aziza&n=sp; EFTA_R1_01696115 EFTA02543927 Sent from my iPhone 2 EFTA_R1_01696116 EFTA02543928
