Erdogan criticises new Saudi prince for reforming Islam

Islam can't be moderate or moderate. Islam is one,” said Erdogan in a speech in a programme organised in Ankara by the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation (OIC) on women's enterprise on November 9th.

The concept of moderate Islam has taken note. But the patents of this concept originate in the West --” said Erdogan, reports “Hurriyet Daily Nesa”, Periscopi broadcast.

Perhaps the person expressing this concept thinks it belongs to him. No, it does not belong to you,” he added, noting that he had been questioned about the moderate “” at meetings in the European Parliament many years ago. ”

Now they're trying to get this idea back. What they really want to do is weaken Islam... We do not want people to learn about religion from foreign facts”, Erdogan said.

You say moderate Islam, but you don't let women get out. Is there any restrictions in Islam that prevent women from driving? There's no such thing,” he said.

The Saudi Crown Prince had made his pledge “moderate Islam” at the Future Investment Initiative Conference in Riyadh on 25 October./Periscopi/
