  • The writer/social anthropologist Madawi Al Rasheed writes that they had to leave Saudi Arabia after 1975..as her fathers sisters son Prince Faisal bin Musad had assassinated his paternal uncel, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia. Nothing is mentioned about the Rashidi connection on the Prince Faisal bin Musad page, perhaps it should be? I am presently reading the book by Madawi Al Rasheed, does anybody else have a knowledge/opinion about it? -Look at the Rashidi page and discussion site for ref. Huldra 00:55, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I changed the inf. about prince Khalid beeing shot during demonstrations; according to his maternal relatives he was shot by the police in his own home. -Huldra

[edit] The Celebration of Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) Birthday

This article states: "where King Faisal was holding a celebration for the birthday of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam"

This claim needs backing up, the celebration of the birthday of the Prophet (PBUH) is agreed to be an innovation according to Sunni doctrine, so how could King Faisal (the ruler of Saudi Arabia) be celebrating it?

I realized that, but the New York Times articles from the 1970s that I consulted to write this article said that he was celebrating the Prophet's Birthday, I dont know what else to make of it DigiBullet 11:38, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
