Diverting Saudi clerical attention: they want to stay busy liberating Palestine

From BBC Monitoring service: "Mecca: Chairman of the Supreme Judiciary Council Salih Bin-Humayd has warned that current crises in the Muslim world have diverted the attention of followers from more serious issues.  "The current crises have taken a dangerous turn diverting the attention of the Muslim Ummah from major issues such as Palestine," said Bin-Humaid, who chaired the second session of the three-day conference organized by the Muslim World League (MWL) on the current issues of the Muslim world in Mecca on Sunday [24 July].  Briefly outlining the circumstances that created the present crises in the Muslim world, Bin-Humaid stressed that religious scholars should guide Muslim leaders and the people.  Mecca Governor Prince Prince Khalid al-Faysal inaugurated the three-day conference titled "Issues and Challenges of the Muslim World" at MWL conference hall in Mecca on Saturday.  Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia Shaykh Abd-al-Aziz bin Abdullah A'l Al-Shaykh, who is also chairman of the constituent council of MWL, and MWL Sec-Gen Abdullah Al-Turki were present at the conference."
