Mohamad bin AbdelRahman al-ʿArefe (Arabic: محمد العريفي) (born 15 July 1970) is a Saudi author and Wahhabi preacher. He is a graduate of King Saud University, and Member of the Muslim World League and the Association of muslim scholars.
On Twitter, several million follow Al-Arefe.As of 9 December 2015, Al-Arefe had over 16 million likes on Facebook and 13.4 million followers on Twitter, which places his account in the top 100 worldwide, and #10 in the Arab world and in the Middle East. BBC claims that Al-Arefe is regarded as a clerical "Brad Pitt". A Syrian Jihad was announced by Arifi.
His official website said he rejects "right-wing media allegations that he may have contributed to the radicalization of three British-born Muslims seen in a recently released video by ISIS." However, the ideology he spreads is very similar if not an exact replica of the strict ideology of ISIS.
In an interview on Lebanese TV in 2007, al-Arefe explained the three ways a man should discipline his wife:
Al-Arefe claimed that Danish women slept around so much that a majority do not know who their father of their children were, claiming a figure of 54%. No reference was provided. The official figures for unknown fathers incl. sperm donors was 2,1% of all born in 2016. He criticized the west for having magazines, websites, and legal organizations for bestiality and homosexuality and said that sex of all kinds and adultery were practiced by what he called "infidels" and compared "infidels" to animals. Al-Arefe said that there is no bottom limit for the marriageable age of girls.
Al-Arefe attacked and criticized the idea of car driving for women.
Al-Arefe engaged in a diatribe against Shias, referred to them as "evil", used the label of "infidel" against Shia cleric Ayatollah Sistani and boasted that there are no mausoleums, public statues, Christian crosses in Saudi Arabia. Al-Arefe described Jews as cowardly in battle and claimed that their tanks had urine and feces in them since they wouldn't get out of them. He also claimed they used bags or diapers in the tank. He described Jews as too cowardly to fight and said they were going to hide around the Gharqad trees they were allegedly planting.
Al-Arefe said that Muslims should either kill, extract jizya taxes from, or convert "infidels" upon invading their lands. He said that Muslims were distracted from "conquering" the lands of "infidels" by the US's war. He said that a "believer" should seek to cut people's legs and arms, break their skulls and cause bloodshed. This was a fatwa.
