The Saudi government, through one of its newspapers (Almadina), launched an attack on Muslims around the world who celebrate the Prophet’s Birthday, implicitly describing them as unbelievers by stating that a true monotheist does not do so, while also describing them as deviant.

Among the statements made by the Saudi government through its newspaper were:

▪️Saudi Arabia is the stronghold of monotheism and does not celebrate the Prophet’s Birthday.
▪️Those who oppose Saudi Arabia follow deviant sects and creeds.
▪️Those who celebrate the Prophet’s Birthday engage in aberrant practices.
▪️Every Muslim around the world should follow Saudi Arabia.

It is worth noting that terrorists who target people celebrating the Prophet’s Birthday with bombings, gunfire or violence of any kind claim that they base their actions on Saudi fatwas and respond to its media incitement.
