Saudi Cleric To Al-Zawahiri: Renounce Extremist Ideology

During an MBC TV program marking the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, senior Saudi cleric Salman Al-'Oda called on Al-Qaeda deputy leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri to reexamine his organization's ideology.

He said that there was a need for such reexamination because Al-Qaeda had caused the deaths of more Muslims than non-Muslims, and because its attacks in the West had been used for anti-Muslim incitement.

Al-Odah added that the fighting waged by Al-Qaeda attests to its desperation in the face of the West's ability to defend itself.
