Prominent Islamic preacher included on list for citizenship revocation
Al-Rai has learned from informed private sources that a well-known Islamic preacher — widely recognized for his strong media presence, television programs, and cultural and intellectual activities — is among those slated to have their Kuwaiti citizenship revoked.
This step comes as part of ongoing efforts to safeguard the national identity file and address any abuses or violations linked to it.
According to the sources, decisions related to citizenship withdrawal are taken based on a single, uniform standard, with no exceptions, stressing that the guiding principle behind such measures is the soundness of the decision and the higher national interest.
The sources noted that the preacher’s file was assessed using the same criteria applied to all other cases currently under review.
While the sources declined to disclose the preacher’s name or the number of followers he commands, they confirmed that the decision has already been finalized. The relevant authorities are now moving forward with the legal procedures required to complete the withdrawal in accordance with established laws and frameworks.
