 (IIASA).(1) Sheikh Al-Fawzan speaks frequently on Saudi TV, and has reportedly been highly critical of Christianity and the United States. Of Christians he has reportedly said, "Someone who denies Allah, worships Christ, son of Mary, and claims that God is one third of a trinity – so you like these things he says and does? Don’t you hate the faith of such a polytheist who says God is one third of a trinity, or who worships Christ, son of Mary?"
Abd Al-Aziz, however, further commented that Muslims should have positive hatred, which is to feel compassion and mercy and to try to help people convert to Islam and submit to one god.
Of America and the 2008 economic crisis, he said, "America is collapsing, according to the same scenario of the Russian collapse."
