Saudi Arabia’s King dismisses a top Scholar in Riyadh

BBC announced that Shaykh Sa’d bin Nasir al-Shutari clearly stated that there are many dangers of having a mixed-gender university. He characterized this move as being a greater sin. He demanded that an outline of the lessons taught at the university be given to religious scholars for them to review and prevent any sort of expansion of western ideologies.

The Saudi Arabian king recently opened the University in Jeddah in front of the leaders of many countries in the world and after spending billions of dollars on it. This university has the most advanced computer technology in the world which cost in excess of 5 billion dollars alone. The mixing of the genders and women driving inside the university is permitted; but female students are required to wear the hijab. The ‘Enjoining the good and forbidding the evil’ squad does not have permission to enter the university. This university is located on the Red Sea’s bank ten kilometers north of Jeddah.
