Original Message Riyadh (AFP) - Powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman pledged a "moderate, open" Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, breaking with ultra-conservative clerics in favour of an image catering to foreign investors and Saudi youth.

"We are returning to what we were before -- a country of moderate Islam that is open to all religions and to the world," he said at an economic forum in Riyadh.

"We will not spend the next 30 years of our lives dealing with destructive ideas. We will destroy them today," he added.

"We will end extremism very soon."

The crown prince's statement is the most direct attack by a Saudi official on the Gulf country's influential conservative religious circles, who have for decades wielded influence on policy.
