When an imam of the Grand Mosque calls upon Muslims to obediently accept Prince Mohammed's incredulous narrative about the murder of Mr. Khashoggi; to accept his abduction, jailing and torture of dissenters, including imprisonment of several revered Islamic scholars; to ignore his pitiless and cruel war in Yemen, his undermining the democratic dreams in the Arab world, his support for the oppressive dictatorship in Egypt, it makes it impossible to accept the imam's categorization of the crown prince as a divinely inspired reformer.
