What in the world is the heart of Islam coming to?


 First we have MBS shaking hands publicly with the openly homosexual US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and now we get this headline:

Saudi Arabia to lift booze ban at 600 tourist locations ...
 

... Spirits and hard liquor above 20% ABV will remain banned, with no sign of shops, takeaways or home brewing being permitted. ...


O believers! Intoxicants, gambling, idols, and drawing lots for decisions are all evil of Satan’s handiwork. So shun them so you may be successful.
 
-- Qur'an, Sura 5:90 

And ˹remember˺ when Lot scolded ˹the men of˺ his people, ˹saying,˺ “Do you commit a shameful deed that no man has ever done before?
 
You lust after men instead of women! You are certainly transgressors.”
 
But his people’s only response was to say, “Expel them from your land! They are a people who wish to remain chaste!”
 
-- Qur'an, Sura 7:80-82

The 32-year old Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia promises liberalization of Islam

Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud
Quoted here:

"We want to go back to what we were, the moderate Islam that is open to the world, open to all the religions.

"We will not waste 30 years of our lives dealing with extremist ideas, we will destroy them today". 

There's a lot of liberalizing to do, based on the death penalty being allowed at least theoretically for apostasy, atheism, blasphemy, sorcery, witchcraft, etc.
