"Saudi mea culpa"
From the I'll-Believe-It-When-I-See-It department:
...Crown Prince Abdullah has issued new regulations prohibiting any reference to jihad, or holy war, in radio and television broadcasts.
The royals are also drafting new regulations that the Wahhabi clergy will most probably consider sacrilegious. The new rules would actually remove elements of Wahhabi doctrine - Islam's strictest interpretation of the Koran - as it is presently taught in mosques and schools around the kingdom.
Security chiefs of the 22 Arab League nations, meeting in Tunis last week, quickly agreed on the existence of a direct link between al Qaeda terrorist attacks and a clergy that promotes holy war in holy places.
Mohammed bin Al Kuman, chairman of the Arab League's council of interior (internal security) ministers, said the most urgent need was for moderate clerics who can see that Islam has been hijacked by extremists who preach hatred of the United States and Israel in particular, Western values in general.
The Saudis previously banned "strange preachers" from mosques, and have taken other steps. Arnaud de Borchgrave finishes this article with "The House of Saud has finally shed its blinkers. Not a moment too soon." I think it's a bit too early to tell whether this is just window dressing or the real deal. Indeed.
