Is Saudi Arabia abandoning moderation?

“We will not waste 30 years of our lives dealing with extremist ideas. We will destroy them today.” This is what Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said publicly in 2017 at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, expressing with unmistakable clarity how Saudi Arabia views extremism. He did not frame it as a gradual debate or a distant ambition, but as an urgent national priority. That statement alone undermines the orchestrated narrative portraying Saudi Arabia as drifting away from moderation and toward the Muslim Brotherhood. This claim is not only misleading but fundamentally naive.
