Saudi Grand Mufti is not a big fan of Twitter. Asked by al-Riyadh about “libel and serious accusations waged on social networking sites,” Sheikh Abdulaziz Al Alsheikh reportedly said:

Twitter and similar websites are founded upon lies and defamation, people who use them are fools and lack modesty and faith, and quackery is clear in their writings

This is not the first time the Mufti speaks against social media. In January he said Twitter “has become a platform for trading accusations and for promoting lies used by some just for the sake of fame.”
