Wahhabi enforcers sacked

Major reshuffle in Saudi Arabia

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has sacked two powerful religious officials in a wide ranging shake-up of the cabinet and other government posts. One of the dismissed men was the head of the controversial religious police force. The other was the country’s most senior judge.

We can only hope that more of this is coming.
