Some of the tweeters objected to Al-Issa being assigned the Arafa sermon because of his meeting with a number of Jewish and right-wing figures in Europe, a view rejected by some Saudi media professionals and tweeters.
The campaign once morest Sheikh Muhammad Al-Issa following announcing that he will be a preacher on the Day of Arafa is an extremist Brotherhood campaign par excellence. Extremists are hiding in different masks, with multiple names. They take opportunities to experiment with poisoning and then hide. In the literature of Brotherhood terrorism, the meat of those who oppose them is not poisoned, and the meat of their elders is poisoned, killing their critics.
Al-Issa had visited “the genocide camp for the Jews in Poland during the Second World War, Auschwitz, in conjunction with the commemoration of the Holocaust in 2020 and prayed at the site, accompanied by a number of Sunni and Shiite clerics,” according to the official Arabic-speaking account of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the time.
