Saudi columnist suspended for comparing King to God
Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz has ordered the suspension of a columnist named Ramadan al-Anzi from his job after he equated the King with God. Ramadan al-Anzi described the King with attributes like "Haleem" (forbearing), which is only reserved for God. Attributing divine qualities or giving individuals any of the 99 names of God is unacceptable in the kingdom.
