King Salman is overhauling the birthplace of Saudi Arabia's ideology
Saudi Arabia's recently crowned King Salman is making the birthplace of his government's ruling
ideology into a tourist attraction, according to The New York Times. The Times notes that the
development, which will be in the town of Diriyah, is a "pet project" of Salman's that's meant to
"reinforce the royal family's national narrative." The complex will showcase the Saudi kingdom's
conservative religious ideology, referred to as Wahhabism, that has been criticized for being
intolerant and fundamentalist. "It is important for Saudis who are living now, in this century, to
know that the state came from a specific place that has been preserved and that it was built on an
idea, a true, correct and tolerant ideology that respected others," Abdullah Arrakban, an official who
is working the project, told the Times.
