Attention, everyone: The sheikhs of the so-called Al Sahwa Al Mubaraka (I can’t believe I just said that) are coming to campus. Last week, there was a lecture by Mohammed Al Dwaiesh, one of the guys who ruined the discussion panels at the recent book fair. This week, there is a double feature: Mohammed Al Areefi, and Salman Al Awdah, who has a weekly show on MBC and now described as one of the moderate scholars. These lectures are organized by the students committees at College of Sciences, and I have no problem with that, except for the part that our college is flooded with many, many posters for the event in a disturbing manner. I’ve been wondering though: why such events are exclusive for Islamists? Why we never see any lecture by a liberal or by a Shiites scholar, you know, just for a change? Oh, have I said that out loud? Never mind :-|
