"Don’t break out the trumpets quite yet.
"But Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is, not by accident, displaying some refreshingly different and open attitudes during his ongoing three-week trip through the United States. Last week he met in the White House with President Trump, who touted a billion-dollars worth of military purchases by Riyadh.
"This week in New York the 32-year-old heir to the throne of the ultra-conservative Sunni monarchy held an inter-faith meeting for the first time with Jewish rabbis, as well as Roman Catholics. That’s a big deal.
"The Saudi Embassy said the meeting included Rabbi Richard Jacobs of the Union for Reform Judaism, Rabbi Steven Wernick of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and and Allen Fagin, executive vice president of the Orthodox Union.
"The prince has said he wants to move his country toward “moderate Islam, open to the world and all religions.”
"Less than a year after being dubbed heir to the Saudi throne, this prince is driving an anti-corruption effort and has begun to gently push a broad range of reforms to open society and ultimately to diversify the oil-rich kingdom’s dependence on the vast reserves of black gooey stuff beneath the sands." . . .
