Are The Persians, Ottomans And Arabs Setting The New World Order?

Saudi Arabia, from the very beginning, has wielded the mantle of leadership of the Islamic world due to its immense oil wealth and being the custodian of Islam’s two holiest shrines.

Through its oil wealth and spiritual leadership, Saudis exported the Wahabi brand of Islam, which did not go well with other Muslim countries who practised different strands of Islam.

The emergence of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman popularly known as MbS, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, rapidly changed not only the landscape of the kingdom, but also of the Islamic world. But in the process Saudi Arabia surrendered its role of leader of the Islamic world by abandoning ‘sensitive and emotional’ issues like Palestine and Uighurs.
