Mohammed al-Humayyed thinks that our scholars have nothing to do with the negative side of their fatawa regarding honoring the national flag. I have to disagree with Mr. Al-Homayyed here. Everyone is responsible for what he says, whether it’s positive or negative. The ulema are very influential in this country, and I think it is a disaster if they were not willing to make themselves clear on such issues. The only exception in this case was Sheikh Abdul Mehsin al-Obeikan. The extremists have attacked him for taking this stance, but I admire him for what he did.
