Al Nadwa (Arabic: الندوة The Forum) was a Mecca-based daily newspaper published in Saudi Arabia.
[9] Abdulaziz bin Mohieddin Khoja was the chairman of the general assembly of Makkah Establishment for Publishing and Printing.
[17] Al Nadwa's article about Avicenna, Zakaria Razi and Abu Reyhan Birouni dated 1964 caused a diplomatic crisis between Saudi Arabia and the Imperial Iran due to the fact that they were described by the paper as Arab thinkers.
[18] The U.S. diplomatic cables reported that Al Nadwa was the only paper condemned the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990 before the Saudi government displayed a clear official position concerning this event.
The target of these criticisms were initially non-Saudi Islamic figures such as Sudanese Hasan Al Turabi.
