Sheikh Abdulmajid al Zindani is a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" and "Bin Laden Loyalist."

He wants to fight vice by tongue and his sidekick tells exactly how at their most recent meeting:

Al-Zindani added that the public role for fighting vice should be represented in fighting vice 'by tongue' through reporting and complaining to the authorities in charge about any violations of the Islamic rules.

During the same meeting Sheikh Hamoud al-Tharihi, one of the establishers of the vice and virtue organization, currently secretary general of the vice and virtue committee a leader in the Islah Islamic party in his paperwork that he read at the conference justified the establishment of the vice and virtue organization to the spread of vice in the country.
