How Saudi Arabia is stamping out Muslim extremism (and Europe isn’t)

1 CommentCommentary

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has outlined several steps to combat Islamist extremism as part of his broader Vision 2030 plan to modernize Saudi Arabia.

While specific measures have evolved over time, his public statements and documented reforms provide insight into these efforts. In a 2017 speech at the Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh, MBS pledged to “eradicate the remnants of extremism very soon,” emphasizing a return to a “moderate Islam” open to all religions. He blamed the rise of extremism on the 1979 Iranian Revolution’s influence and vowed not to let Saudi youth “waste 30 years” under extremist ideas.

Key steps include:

  • Educational Reform: Revising school curricula to remove extremist content, particularly influences from the Muslim Brotherhood, which Saudi Arabia designates as a terrorist group. In 2018, the education minister announced plans to ban books and dismiss educators sympathetic to such ideologies.
  • Religious Moderation: Reducing the power of the religious police (Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice), who once enforced strict moral codes, and promoting a tolerant interpretation of Islam. MBS has pushed for a reinterpretation of Islamic texts, like limiting Hadith to widely accepted “mutawatir” narrations to curb radical misuse.
  • Social Liberalization: Lifting bans on women driving (2018), opening cinemas, and hosting public entertainment, shifting focus from ultraconservative norms to a modern, youth-oriented society.
  • Counterterrorism Efforts: Strengthening security measures and cooperating internationally (e.g., with the U.S.) to disrupt extremist networks, alongside initiatives like the Etidal center to combat online radicalization.

Meanwhile in the UK

Windsor Castle Iftar (March 2, 2025): King Charles let 360 Muslims break their Ramadan fast in St George’s Hall, a garish first in 1,000 years. The Ramadan Tent Project’s stunt, backed by the Royal Collection Trust, reeks of virtue signaling.

And Germany – this will chill you

*NURSE IN GERMANY SENDS MESSAGE TO THE WORLD* (An open letter – Eye opener)

Yesterday, at the hospital, we had a meeting about how the situation here and the other Munich hospitals are unsustainable. Clinics cannot handle the number of migrant medical emergencies, so they are starting to send everything to the main hospitals. Many Muslims are refusing treatment by female staff, and we women are now refusing to go among those migrants. Relations between the staff and migrants are going from bad to worse. Since last weekend, migrants going to the hospitals must be accompanied by police with K-9 units. *Many migrants have ADS, syphilis, open TB and many exotic diseases that we in Europe do not know how to treat.*

If they receive a prescription to the pharmacy; they learn they have to pay cash, this leads to unbelievable outbursts, especially when it is about drugs for the children. *They abandon the children to the pharmacy staff with the words: So, cure them yourselves.* So the police are not only guarding the clinics and hospitals, but also the large pharmacies.

*We ask openly where are all those who welcomed the migrants in front of TV cameras with signs at train stations ? Yes, for now, the border has been closed, but a million of them are already here and we will definitely not be able to get rid of them.*

Until now, the number of unemployed in Germany was 2.2 million. Now it will be at least 3.5 million. *Most of these people are completely unemployable.* Only a minimum of them have any education. *What is more, their women usually do not work at all.* I estimate that one in ten is pregnant. *Hundreds of thousands of them have brought along infants and little kids under six, many emaciated and very needy.* If this continues and Germany re-opens its borders, I am going home to the Czech republic. Nobody can keep me here in this situation, not even for double the salary back home. I came to Germany to work, not to Africa or the Middle East! Even the professor who heads our department told us how sad it makes him to see, but worth the read…especially the cleaning woman, who has cleaned every day for years for 800 euros *and then meets crowds of young men in the hallways who just wait with their hands outstretched, waiting for free, and when they don’t get it, they throw a fit.* I really don’t need this, but I am afraid that if I return home, at some point it will be the same in the Czech Republic. *If the Germans, with their systems, cannot handle this, then guaranteed, back home will be total chaos…*

*You – who have not come in contact with these people have absolutely no idea what kind of badly behaved desperadoes these people are, and how Muslims act superior to our staff, regarding their religious accommodation.*

*For now, the local hospital staff have not come down with the diseases these people brought here, but with so many hundreds of patients every day of this is just a question of time.*

*In a hospital near the Rhine, migrants attacked the staff with knives after they had handed over an 8 month old on the brink of death, who they dragged across half of Europe for three months. The child died two days later, despite having received top care at one of the best pediatric clinics in Germany. The pediatric physician had to undergo surgery and the two nurses are recovering in the ICU. Nobody has been punished. The local press is forbidden to write about it, so we can only inform you through e-mail. What would have happened to a German if he had stabbed the doctor and nurses with a knife? Or if he had flung his own syphilis infected urine into a nurses face and so threatened her with infection? At a minimum, he would have gone straight to jail and later to court. With these people so far, nothing has happened. And so I ask: Where are all those greeters and receivers from the train stations? Sitting pretty at home, enjoying their uncomplicated, safe lives.

I would round up all those greeters and bring them here first to our hospitals emergency ward as attendants! Then in to one of the buildings housing the migrants, so they can really look after them there themselves, without armed police and police dogs, who, sadly today, are in every hospital here in Bavaria.
