Saudi prince urged the king to step down and leave the country 'before a military coup'
Iran's Press TV channel reported on Wednesday that the Saudi Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Al warned the country's royal family to step down and flee the country.
In a letter published by Wagze news agency on Tuesday, the Cairo-based prince asked the Saudi Arabia's ruling family to leave before a military coup or revolution takes place in the country.
The prince warned Saudi Arabian authorities of a fate similar to that of Iraq's executed leader Saddam Hussein and the ousted Iranian Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
He warned that the Saudi royal family is no longer able to impose its rule on people, the laws, adopted in the country, interfere into people's private life and such laws do not constitute the spiritual foundation of the Saudi society.
"If we are wise, we must leave this country to its people, whose dislike for us is increasing," said Prince Turki.
Prince Turki belongs to the royal family of Saudi Arabia, but adheres to so-called "liberal views".
Meanwhile, the current Saudi King Abdullah can compete in liberalism with the fugitive Egypt-based prince.
King Abdullah is adherent to "tolerant Islam". Hundreds of imams and Islamic scholars in universities were dismissed under him. It is under him that "a reform of Islam" is now being conducted.
It is King Abdullah who for first time in the history of the kingdom established in the Arabian Peninsula institution bearing his own name (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology), with mixing of men and women, where women walk half-naked and in tight clothes, where night discos and debauchery are declared manifestation of liberalization, democracy and reforms undertaken by the royal family.
That's why fugitive prince's call is likely to be meaningless, since something that he calls for has already been implemented by the King Abdullah.
