Most likely he had a visit from another Haya leader from Taif....no doubt very upset about it...maybe even tried to get him to quit...but...no news is good news. As far as we can tell, he still has his job....and...well....why not...he was supporting the King's policies...and the last Sheikh fired...got fired for going against the King's policies. Bravery comes easier if you think you've got the support of an absolute monarch. :) I think it is rumour.

Or perhaps he is part of small, brave, and hopefully tenacious trend, along with King Abdullah, to begin that evolution by creating an institution like KAUST, and elaborating the religious justification for liberalization, of segregation more strict even than in Iran.

I presume if he isnt fired he will be...if he hasnt been attacked he will be...if he hasnt been killed...its probably only a matter of time. Harsh I know...but some Arab/Muslims just dont take kindly to common sense.
