Saudi Arabia's top Islamic scholar described anti-government protests in Egypt, Tunisia and elsewhere in the Arab world as a plot by enemies of Islam to spread instability, Saudi newspapers reported on Saturday. The protests in Egypt, Tunisia and other countries are plots by enemies of Islam to break up Arab nations, Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al al-Sheikh was quoted as saying.
"This chaos comes from enemies of Islam and those who follow them," the daily Asharq al-Awsat quoted him as saying, adding that demonstrations led to bloodshed and stealing.
