Saudi Prince fires TV director for ties to Muslim Brotherhood

Share:

Tarek Al-SuwaidanSaudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has fired the director of an Islamic TV channel for his role as the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Kuwait.

He wrote Sunday on his Twitter account that he sacked Tarek Al-Suwaidan “for admitting he belongs to the Brotherhood terrorist movement.”

Al-Suwaidan, a Kuwaiti, was the director general of Al-Resalah channel, which belongs to Alwaleed’s Rotana Group — a large pan-Arab media conglomerate based in Riyadh.

Al-Suwaidan has sharply criticized Egypt’s military-backed government and voiced support for deposed President Mohammed Morsi on his Twitter account.

Saudi King Abdullah, whose country has pledged $5 billion in aid to Egypt’s interim leaders, supported Cairo’s crackdown on the Brotherhood, saying the kingdom stood by Egypt’s fight against “terrorism and strife.”

    It’s always good to be aware of who is paying your wages.
    After that, of course, it’s a matter of conscience.
    But then, some don’t have one. :-))))

    All the M8’s accuse the Saudis of being extremists yet the gov’t is helping the Army suppress the Extremists. And as we see here another example where the Saudis are purging the extremists. so shut the hell up before you accuse the Saudis of extremism. Also there are I am sure many Saudis are religious extremists and they support al Qaida but again the gov’t and I am sure many moderates are against them in general. Good for the Saudis to start thinking smart at last and get rid of this cancer..
