Church leaders in Europe have decried the announcement by Saudi Arabia’s top Islamic leader for the destruction of all Christian churches on the Arabian peninsula.
Sheikh Abdulaziz Al al-Shaikh issued a fatwa for the destruction of churches last week. The Catholic bishops of Germany and Austria responded with statements condemning that fatwa as a direct assault on religious freedom. The Russian Orthodox Church also issued a statement denouncing the Saudi leader’s inflammatory order.
