Religious kooks and social media
"On YouTube and Twitter, Sheikh Ahmed directs his ire towards the head of the royal court and confidante of the king, Khalid al-Tuwaijri, as well as the king’s son-in-law and education minister, Prince Faisal bin Abdullah, accusing them of implementing a western agenda. He deemed a plan to employ women as cashiers at supermarkets as un-Islamic, condemned the co-educational King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, and was even critical of a financial centre under construction in Riyadh."
