Last Muharram, 1380 A.H., a Al-Bilad newspaper correspondent asked me some questions, some of them relating to nationalism. I gave him the reply that was published in the newspaper.
The first question: What is Your Eminence's opinion on some foreign parties' call that pan-Arab nationalism is the first tie among the Arabs?
The second question: What is Your Eminence's opinion on the idea prevailing these days to draw a comparison between nationalism and Islam, which is published in some newspapers and magazines in the Kingdom?
The third question: Some sincere preachers tackle simple religious questions in their sermons, such as the way of cutting one's hair and the way of clothing, whereas some questions relating to `Aqidah (Faith) need more focus from those sincere preachers, as these are key issues; what is Your Eminence's opinion on this?
The fourth question: Al-Bilad newspaper would like Your Eminence to give advice to its readers of different classes; what is it?
