Facebook Fatwa: Saudi Clerics, Wahhabi Islam and Social Media

4.5/5 ( ratings)

Following al-Qaeda's violent campaign against Saudi Arabia in 2003 and 2004, Saudi authorities launched a crackdown on radicalism in the Kingdom. This included tighter controls on terror finance, dismantling al-Qaeda's local cells, monitoring the country's mosques, and a state-sponsered de-radicalization program designed to combat what Saudi authorities call "deviant" ideologies.

But what of the problems associated with internet radicalization? Is Saudi-sponsered radicalization still a problem online? Or has it waned as a result of the Saudi authorities' efforts?

A decade after the September 11 attacks that prompted a deep and protracted crisis in U.S.-Saudi relations, the Foundation odor Defense of Democracies commissioned a study to gauge the sentiment, influence, and reach of Saudi clerics on the internet. "Facebook Fatwa" provides a glimpse of the religious establishment's online activities during a critical moment in the Middle East.
