Prince Khaled of Saudi Arabia accused Prince Walid bin Talal [1] of disseminating vice and violating the rules of Islamic Sharia in the conservative kingdom. [lol]
Prince Khaled said he had been forced to speak out after quiet efforts to advise his brother to mend his ways had fallen on deaf ears.
Prince Walid, known for his liberal lifestyle, owns a media empire which features entertainment channels that have long angered conservative Saudis.
Prince Khaled, told an Arabic website that his brother's plan to introduce cinema into Saudi society was the straw that broke the camel's back.
