all saudis are not fans of iranian/shiite clurks (they are not mufties), this is the saudi thread... king abdullah made it clear that no one can issue a fatwah unless he is part of the islamic scholars in saudi or egypt (no more crazy fatwas from attention seekers)

^^ what about religious saudi shiites?

Mustafa Cerić, reis ul ulema of Bosnia and Herzegovina graduated from the Madresa in Sarajevo and received a scholarship to Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt. After his schooling there, he returned to his native Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he became an Imam. In 1981, he accepted the position of Imam at the Islamic Cultural Center of Greater Chicago in Northbrook, Illinois and settled in the United States for several years. He learned English and earned a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in Islamic Studies. When he finished his studies, he returned to his homeland, leaving the ICC and becoming a practicing Imam in a learning center in Zagreb in 1987. He officially became the Grand Mufti of Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1999, although he has led the Islamic community in Bosnia since 1993. (wiki)
