by Hamidaddin (Author)
Tweeted Heresies explores the emergence of patterns of non-belief in Saudi Arabia and the responses from the country's Salafi-Wahhabi religious institutions. Abdullah Hamidaddin focuses on individuals who took advantage of social media during a period of relative freedom of expression to criticize religion and question the most fundamental aspects of Saudi society: its politics, religion, social justice, gender and sexual relations, and the future of the country. The result is a uniquely revealing portrait of an otherwise hidden current of religious change that promises to ultimately transform Saudi society.
