Abdul Rahman al-Barak is a top Saudi cleric who is close to the kingdom's royal family.
In January 2007 he urged Sunnis all over the world to reject reconciliation with Shiite muslims in Lebanon, Iraq and Iran.
Al-Barak said Shiites should be considered "worse than Jews or Christians".
"By and large, rejectionists (Shiites) are the most evil sect of the nation and they have all the ingredients of the infidels," al-Barak wrote in a fatwa, or religious edict, that was posted on his Web site.
Like most hardline Sunnis, al-Barak and Abdullah bin Jabrain use the word "rejectionists," for Shiites because they separate themselves from the Sunni school of Islamic theology.
