Shaykh `Adnan Al-`Ar`ur: the dirty hands of Saudi Arabia

I wrote yesterday about the role of Shaykh Al-`Ar`ur in the Islamist section of the Syrian opposition (I by no means am saying that we should reduce the rich spectrum of Syrian opposition to this religious kook).  He has never been mentioned in the Western press.  He has been key in religious propaganda from Saudi Arabia.  It turns out that he is a recipient of the Prince Nayif Prize for Sunna and Islamic studies.  My mother always asks me: when will you, my son As`ad, ever win the Prince Nayif Prize for Sunna and Islamic Studies?  And I always answer her: I really don't know, mom, but I sure hope to one day win the Prince Nayif Prize for Sunna and Islamic Studies.  And if I win that precious prize, I promise my readers that I will stay true to the responsibilities of the prize.
