The Hidden Secrets of the Saudi Regime’s Cooperation with a Center Combatting Islam and Supporting Zionism

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and his ruling team in the Land of the Two Holy Mosques are collaborating with the British Policy Exchange, a think tank known for combating Islam and supporting Zionism.

The mentioned center is one of the British think tanks that explicitly adopts policies of hostility towards Islam and Muslims under the pretext of “Islamophobia.”

The center was established in 2002 by a group of “neoconservatives” who were admirers of war criminal Tony Blair and supported his invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The center has played a prominent role in escalating a culture of discrimination and hatred against Muslims in the West by dismantling values of tolerance and principles of multiculturalism in Britain, primarily targeting Muslims.

This was highlighted by British author Peter Oborne in his famous book, “The Fate of Abraham: Why the West is Wrong about Islam,” which stated that the center directly influenced the British government’s perception of Muslims.

The studies and research papers from the center had direct impacts on British reality, leading to the expulsion of several mosque imams on charges of “extremism and terrorism,” some of whom were sympathetic to the Palestinian resistance.

According to the book’s author, one of the center’s impacts was the eradication of the British approach to tolerance towards Islam, which was prevalent until recently.

A core policy of the center is “no negotiations with Islamists” unless they abandon “political Islam”!

In the latest meeting of the center, attended by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in May 2024, he spoke about national security and included the increasing wave of “extremism” in his country.

The center played a role in the British government’s recent adoption of the “blasphemy” law and the term “Islamophobia,” aimed at making Muslims more targeted by discriminatory policies.

All these indicators confirm the extremism of the center and its clear hostility to any discourse concerning Islam and Muslims, attempting to fuel hatred against them in the West.

In 2007, coinciding with Abdullah bin Abdulaziz’s visit to Britain, the center issued a report indicating that “Saudi” government entities were promoting what it described as “hatred of the West” in Britain.

Today, in the era of Mohammed bin Salman, the equation has entirely changed, with Bin Salman becoming a strong ally of the center and a direct participant in the war against Islam through his religious arm, Mohammed Al-Issa.

Al-Issa’s participation now, besides polishing Bin Salman’s image in the West, is likely to cement more understandings and ideologize many terms and programs of “Islam” with Western visions, then apply them in the Land of the Two Holy Mosques and other Islamic countries, considering the influence of our country and the distortion of the role of the league after the Crown Prince’s takeover of the country and the league.

Choosing Al-Issa for this dirty task is not surprising; he is Mohammed bin Salman’s key man for advancing his religious plans.

He is the religious architect of normalization from the start, and his mission is not just to promote and legitimize it but also to open the door wide for Israelis to infiltrate the Land of the Two Holy Mosques through multiple channels.

Al-Issa has a close connection with two of the most dangerous Zionist leaders, Jason Guberman and his wife, Irina Tsukerman.

Guberman is the founder of the Zionist “Diarna,” which seeks to revive Jewish heritage in the region, especially in the Land of the Two Holy Mosques, which “opens its eyes wide” as described by Guberman.

His wife, Tsukerman, is Al-Issa’s advisor on the path to normalization and is also close to Netanyahu!

Due to Al-Issa’s efforts in serving Zionism, their media described him as the “Zionist Imam.”

He was also honored in June 2020 by the U.S. Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism, Elan Carr, who awarded him the Anti-Semitism Combat Award for his “distinctive vision for starting a new chapter.”

In 2021, Al-Issa established a strategic partnership with one of the fiercest enemies of Islam by signing an exceptional partnership agreement between the Muslim World League and the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change to train 100,000 young people and “correct perceptions about religious and cultural diversity.”

Blair, who contributed to the killing of millions of Muslims, described what he called “radical Islam” as the number one security threat to Europe.

Al-Issa’s enmity towards Islam is old and profound, no less than the hostility of the West and Zionists themselves.

It appears that his participation in the London symposium is to confirm Bin Salman’s loyalty to the West and its theses that attempt to distort Islam and its principles by exporting a “Western Islam” version, benefiting from the spiritual influence of the Land of the Two Holy Mosques and Bin Salman’s regime capabilities.

Al-Issa has conspired against Muslim issues only by formulating what is known as the “Mecca Document.”

This document, which closely resembles the boycott document of the Prophet ﷺ and his companions before the migration in Mecca, contains 29 articles and was held in Washington in November 2019, claiming it was signed with the approval of 1,200 muftis, not forgetting that the Council of Senior Scholars in our country has about 300 members.

They claimed it confirms the five universals of Islam (preservation of religion, progeny, intellect, wealth, and honour), but its outcomes only led to the destruction of Muslims and the empowerment of other beliefs!

As a result of this demonization of Islam, which does not align with Bin Salman and Al-Issa’s preferences, Britain has tightened its grip on Muslims through the Prevent program, which labels Muslims as terrorists even without using force or inciting it.

The sacked Home Secretary Suella Braverman supported William Shawcross, who was tasked with amending the program and adopted all the amendments despite objections from human rights committees and public associations in Britain to his person and his anti-Islamic inclinations.

Demonstrating the bias of the Prevent program, Elias Nagdee, the Director of Racial Justice at Amnesty International, stated that the review was “full of mistakes and clear biased thinking against Muslims.”

Ruth Ehrlich, Head of Policy and Campaigns at Liberty, said that the government’s acceptance of Shawcross’s recommendations showed that it was “not committed to meaningful engagement with Muslim communities, but rather targeting them more.”
