Saudi Arabia–Israel–America (S.I.A.): Transforming the Arab Spring into an Arab Inferno

By Mohamed Khodr

From the Qur’an: 2:11-12 “And when they are told, “Do not spread corruption on earth,” they answer, “We are but improving things”! Oh, verily, it is they, they who are spreading corruption but they perceive it not?” “No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever”. –J. Michael Straczynski “There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit”. –Napoleon Bonaparte For reference: S.I.A.: Saudi Arabia – Israel – America G.C.C.: Gulf Cooperation Council consisting of six nations: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman. In reality the G.C.C. should be renamed the A.I.G.C.C: the “American Israeli Gulf Collaboration Council” (Author’s Note: I deliberately left out Egypt’s turmoil and the S.I.A. sponsored and paid for military coup against democracy due to the already long length of the article)

Finally the three Abrahamic faiths, as represented by Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the United States (S.I.A.), are unified, not as peace bearers but as war mongers against the Christian and Muslim Palestinians in the Holy Land as well as spreading death and devastation across the Arab and Muslim world who dare resist their hegemony. The Christian U.S. and the “Muslim” Saudi Arabia are supporting Israel in its ethnic cleansing of Christianity and Islam from the Holy Land. This is occurring while the entire Christian and Muslim world are intimidated into silence. It really is a small Jewish after all. Every nation the S.I.A. alliance hasintervened in either politically, economicallly, or military has become a devastated failed state that has been embroiled in a civil or sectarian war, a mass refugee problem, political fragmentation and instability, economic depression, and terrorism. Not a day goes by in such countries like Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan,, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Tunis, Somalia, and now the newly created South Sudan, where deadly wars, terrorism. and car bombs are not carried out by Israel or Saudi Arabia to incite sectarian violence between Sunnis and Shiites, especially in Iraq and Lebanon, as well as assassination do not occur. The civilian populations, mainly women and children, are the primary victims of such conflicts. Map of Gulf Cooperation Council (G.C.C.) Nations. Much wealth to destroy life, little wealth to save life. Map of Gulf Cooperation Council (G.C.C.) Nations. Much wealth to destroy life, little wealth to save life. While Saudi Arabia and the other G.C.C. have and are using their enormous wealth and economic leverage, along with their old new ally, Israel, to pressure the U.S. to do launch wars in the Middle East, especially now against Iran; not once, not once did they ever consider using such leverage to llift Israel’s 7 years deadly siege of Gaza where 1.8 million Palestinians are dying from lack of shelter, cold weather,, hunger, lack of drinkable water, thirst, disease, and lack of fuel for their electric plant thereby allowing sewage to fill the streets. Gaza’sentire infrastructure has been destroyed by Israel thus hospitals, schools, clinics, churches, and mosques were destroyed. Not even the sanctity of the dead in a cemeteries escaped Israel’s tanks. What kind of subhuman animals are the Israelis who would deliberately run tanks over cemetery graves? If they can disturb the peace of the dead why would anyone expect them to respect peace with the living?

A young man looks for his mother’s grave in a cemetery in Beit Lehia that was destroyed by Israeli tanks in January 2009. A young man looks for his mother’s grave in a cemetery in Beit Lehia that was destroyed by Israeli tanks in January 2009. This barbaric nation is called a “civilized democracy” by western government out of fear and greed of Jewish power and wealth respectively; while the world pays the price for its terrorism, including the American people. [See "Truth About the Talmud" to better understand that Israel is simply following the teachings of the Babylonian Talmud. Saudi Arabia has used its considerable oil and economic leverage to push the U.S., in concert with Israel, to destroy Middle East nations; yet not once did it ever consider using such leverage to deliver one loaf of bread, some water, and medicines to the besieged 1.8 Million starving freezing Gazan children, much less to lift the deadly siege of Gaza, or even push for an independent Palestinian state.

What the Middle East is left with is corrupt cowardly dictators; in effect, Israeli American doormats. Despite a century of western lies, betrayals, coups, assassinations, wars, invasions, colonization, occupation, persistent war crimes and ethnic cleansing, the greatest tragedy of all -- the Theft and Sale of Palestine to the Jews; the creation of a new Middle East with new nations, new boundaries, and installed dictator puppets; the current cabal of Arab tyrants in the monarchies of Saudi Arabia, the rest of the G.C.C., Jordan, and Morocco have sold their faith, their people, their land and resources; to serve as regional doormats and collaborators in the service of their masters: Israel and the United States The U.S. has always had a hypocritical selective ouble standardapproach to Arab dictators depending on whether they serve her immediate or long term interests in the region as well as their stand on Israel. It is totally immaterial to the U.S. if such dictators are committing a holocaust against their own people, if they're America's doormat they good pro western puppets. Not all Dictators are created equal. Some we love, others we kill. It depends. Not all Dictators are created equal. Some we love, others we kill. It depends. Please Watch this Video of Saudi Arabia’s close collaboration with Israel in planning an attack against Iran. While the Arab Spring was turned into an Arab inferno through the intervention of the S.I.A. nations; the G.C.C. nations immediately squashed any freedom protests, not by force, but by bribes. Bloomberg News reported that Saudi Arabia spent $130 Billion to bribe its people into quiet submission, which worked, for now. The other G.C.C. nations spent over %100 Billion to bribe their people out of an Arab Spring mentality. America’s Interests in the Middle East. The core issue for the U.S. in the Middle East is: STABILITY – Both Political and Economic. Political stability involves U.S. support of murderous puppet tyrants and dictators. Economic stability, not only for the U.S. economy but for the world’s economy, which is energy driven hence the importance of the Persian Gulf oil. 1. Protect cheap Oil and other Corporate interests in the region. 2. Serve and Protect Israel even if it means paying and dying for her wars. 3. Protect the “stability” and status quo of puppet dictator doormats, especially the monarchies, ensuring their total collaboration and collusion in the American Israeli hegemony in the region. 4. Protects the vital water lanes for shipping via the Strait of Hormuz, Bab Al Mandab, and the Suez Canal. 5. Maintain several military bases in the region, especially in the GCC countries. 6. Work overtly or covertly to remove, assassinate, or damage through cyber-terrorism any regime or party opposed to U.S. Israeli interests. As has been pointed out, U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East has been a Jewish run enterprise for the last century. The most important element in the powerful and enormous success of Jewish Power in the U.S. is an ignorant population disconnected and disinterested in foreign affairs.: “Most Americans are close to total ignorance about the world. They are ignorant. That is an unhealthy condition in a country in which foreign policy has to be endorsed by the people if it is to be pursued. And it makes it much more difficult for any president to pursue an intelligent policy that does justice to the complexity of the world.” –Dr. Zbignew Brzenski ; former National Security Director under President Jimmy Carter. Post 9/11, the Jewish Neocons and the Jewish owned media have successfully indoctrinated the American people that Muslims hate America for its multiple freedoms thereby distracting them from the real reason which is its insane pathetic Israel run foreign policy in the Arab and Muslim world.

Here’s the truth from the Pentagon itself: “Muslims do not hate our freedom, but rather they hate our policies. The overwhelming majority voice their objections to what they see as one-sided support in favor of Israel and against Palestinian rights, and the long-standing, even increasing, support for what Muslims collectively see as tyrannies, most notably Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan and the Gulf states. Thus, when American public diplomacy talks about bringing democracy to Islamic societies, this is seen as no more than self-serving hypocrisy”. –Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force “On Strategic Communication“, September 2004 The CATO Institute issued a much earlier report on on December 17, 1998, titled: “Does U.S. Intervention Overseas Breed Terrorism? The Historical Record” that states: “A strong correlation exists between U.S. involvement in international situations and an increase in terrorist attacks against the United States. President Bill Clinton has also acknowledged that link…. This paper fills that gap by citing many examples of terrorist attacks on the United States in retaliation for U.S. intervention overseas. The numerous incidents cataloged suggest that the United States could reduce the chances of such devastating–and potentially catastrophic–terrorist attacks by adopting a policy of military restraint overseas”.. Similarly on the issue of foreign policy in the Middle East, in particular the Israeli Palestinian conflict, which to the entire Arab and Muslim world is the primary and root cause of animosity to the U.S. Government, not the American people, no matter how much Israel and its Zionist allies in the U.S. dismiss and distract from this truth. In an article in Haaretz, October 6, 2010, titled; “Clinton: Mideast peace can undercut global terror threat”, Former President Clinton is quoted speaking of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said Tuesday that solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would take away much of the motivation for terrorism around the world….It will take about half the impetus in the whole world — not just the region, the whole world — for terror away.…It would have more impact by far than anything else that could be done.” Notice that U.S. politicians wait until they leave office before having the courage to speak up about Israel, for while in office they’re under the strong grip of AIPAC and Jewish campaign contributions. The U.S. stands accused by the world but especially the Arab and Muslim world of being the enabler, political and financial supporter, latest weapons gifter, and defense lawyer for the most condemned, despised, rogue, murderous, illegal and immoral nation on earth – ISRAEL Jewish Power over U.S. politics, economy, foreign affairs, and military policy has long been an unquestioned established fact in Washington D.C. Here is Secretary of State John Foster Dules speaking in 1957 about Jewish Power. “I am aware how almost impossible it is in this country to carry out a foreign policy [in the Middle East] not approved by the Jews….terrific control the Jews have over the news media and the barrage the Jews have built up on congressmen …. I am very much concerned over the fact that the Jewish influence here is completely dominating the scene and making it almost impossible to get congress to do anything they don’t approve of. The Israeli embassy is practically dictating to the congress through influential Jewish people in the country” –Secretary of State John Foster Dulles in February 1957 (Donald Neff’s book: “Fallen Pillars” page 99) Currently AIPAC wrote legislation for Congress sponsored by the Jewish Senator from New York, Sen. Charles Schumer, that incredibly commit the U.S. to a war on Iran should Israel attacks Iran. While the U.S. has several defense treaties with nations around the world that commits the U.S. to join that nation should it be attacked; here the U.S. is committing itsel to an OFFENSIVE War against a sovereign nation, Iran, if Israel attacksi it. This wil be the first time the U.S. would join a foreign naiton to attack another nation with no reason or rationale. In an article titled; “Congress Must Not Cede its War Power to Israel“, December 27, 2013, Sheldon Richman, V.P. of the Future of Freedom Foundation, argues forcefully that the U.S. Congress not outsource its war power act to a foreign naiton, Israel. In the article he quotes a letter from Gary Sick, former national security advisor to Carter, Reagan, and Bush and an expert on Iran, he sent to Sen. Charles Schumer denouncing the legislation as dangerous to the U.S. that must be stopped. ONLY when the American people become aware enough and angry enough that a small foreign nation that they’ve subsidized to the tune of over $1 Trillion of their taxes will be thrown out of their national government’s influence and interests will America be truly free. A Zionist free America will mean justice and independence not only for the Palestinians and will go a long way to eliminating terrorism in the Middle East and against the U.S. and Europe. It’s up to the American people to decide if they wish to live in a Zionist Occupied nation or be free of that evil albatross. Israel’s Interests in the Middle East: “Our American friends offer us money, arms, and advice. We take the money, we take the arms, and we decline the advice.” (Iron Wall, p. 316)

–Moshe Dayan, former Israeli Defense Minister Still true to this day. From the Oden Yinon Plan: “Greater Israel: ”The Zionist Plan for the Middle East”. 1982 “The plan operates on two essential premises. To survive, Israel must 1) become an imperial regional power, and 2) must effect the division of the whole area into small states by the dissolution of all existing Arab states. Small here will depend on the ethnic or sectarian composition of each state. Consequently, the Zionist hope is that sectarian-based states become Israel’s satellites and, ironically, its source of moral legitimation… This is not a new idea, nor does it surface for the first time in Zionist strategic thinking. Indeed, fragmenting all Arab states into smaller units has been a recurrent theme.” –The Oden Yinon Plan 1982( Yinon Plan” Please watch this Important Video that explains the Oden Yinon Plan for Dividing the Middle East and creating a Greater Israel. To the Zionists such a plan would allow for the creation of Greater Israel which stretches from the Nile river in Egyptto the east, the Lebanese LItani river to the north, to the Euphrates river in Iraq to the west, along with the annexation of Palestine, Jordan, and large parts of Egypt, Syria, and Iraq. With such a goal one can understand why Iraq was invaded, Syria is being destroyed, Lebanon is constantly bombed and occupied, and why Egypt’s democracy was overthrown to install a submissive military dictator. After all this dictator has joined Israel in the deadly starving siege of Gaza. This Map was drawn by Theodore herzl, founder of Zionism, more than a century ago. This Map was drawn by Theodore herzl, founder of Zionism, more than a century ago. Zionist Israel will not rest until its “Greater Israel” goal is achieved. It will fight the Arabs and Muslims to the last American dollar and soldier. Saudi Arabia’s Interests: (Same for G.C.C., states, Jordan, and Morocco): S.A. has Five Main Objectives: Self-Preservation, at any cost, of Family Monarchies under the protection of the U.S. and the military bases they host. Serve as Puppet Regimes to U.S. interests, which mean Israel’s interests. Embezzle and Steal the national wealth for personal debauchery. Repress and Oppress their citizens into total submisin. Collaborate and Pay Israel and U.S. to destroy any threat to the Monarchies from any Arab or Muslim nation. Like its allies Saudi Arabia has a double standard when it comes to which regimes are allowed to survive. It’s funding radical Islamist terrorist in Sria to spread “democracy” while simultaneously sending troops to crush peaceful protests against the tyranny of Bahrain’s king and demanding freedom and democracy. cARTOONbahrainKINGFIFTHFLEET King of Bahrain carrying the U.S. Fifth Fleet which is based in Bahrain; while its CENTCOM is based in Qatar. The U.S. has military bases in all of the G.C.C. nations as well as other Arab countries.. Saudi Arabia is the Chief Spponsor of Terrorism in and out of the Middle East. For decades its been known in the West that Saudi Arabia, mainly, but along with other G.C.C. nations are the main supporters, organizers, and financial suppliers of ‘TERRORISM” in and out of the Middle East. In the Guardian, December 5, 2010, titled; ”WikiLeaks cables portray Saudi Arabia as a cash machine for terrorists”; we find a memo from Secretary of State Hilary Clinton that highlights the Gulf states’ failure to block funding for groups like al-Qaida, Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiban. From the article we read: “Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest source of funds for Islamist militant groups such as the Afghan Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba – but the Saudi government is reluctant to stem the flow of money, according to Hillary Clinton. “More needs to be done since Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaida, the Taliban, and LeT and other terrorist groups,” Her memo urged US diplomats to redouble their efforts to stop Gulf money reaching extremists in Pakistan and Afghanistan”. “Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide,” she said. Three other Arab countries are listed as sources of militant money: Qatar, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates”. In an article in the British paper The Independent titled; “Mass murder in the Middle East is funded by our friends the Saudis”, December 8, 2013 we read: “Everyone knows where al-Qa’ida gets its money, but while the violence is sectarian, the West does nothing”, In an article in Haaretz detailing the Israeli-Saudi “cooperation” to attack Iran titled: “Sunday Times: Israel, Saudi Arabia cooperating to plan possible Iran attack’, November 17, 2013, we read: “Saudis would allow Israel use of air space and provide drones, rescue helicopters and tanker planes, report says”. Sudan and Yemen: Partitioned by the S.I.A. The Yinon/S.I.A. Plan e\\\\r the Oden Plan for Partitioning Arab states has succeeded in two nations: Sudan and Yemen Sudan: Partitioned into Sudan 9north) and South Sudan. With Israel’s and U.S. direct economic and military assistance to the rebels fighting for an independent South Sudan, the new nation of South Sudan was created. The President of South Sudan’s first foreign trip was to Israel to publicly thank Israel for their long time support of their cause. “I am very moved to be in Israel and to walk on the soil of the Promised Land, and with me are all South Sudanese people. Israel has always supported the South Sudanese people. Without you, we would not have arisen”—said President Kiir to President Shimon Peres of Israel. However, South Sudan is now embroiled in a civil war for power where thousands have been killed and over 150,000 refugees have fled their homes. A failed western created state meant to pressure and limit any opposition from Sudan or Egypt in the future either through direct conflicts or its ability to manipulate the flow of the Nile River into the two nations where the river is the vital source for all life. The long course of the Nile River that is the only source of water for several countries. The Nile means life or death for the Sudan and Egypt. The long course of the Nile River that is the only source of water for several countries. The Nile means life or death for the Sudan and Egypt. YEMEN: The End of One Nation, the beginning of Partition to Six Provinces Saudi Arabia has always looked at Yemen on its southern border as a demographic and military threat able to destabilize the tyrannical royal regime. The courageous young Yemenie men and women joined the Arab Spring by their nationwide relentless protests to remove the S.I.A. supported military dictator whose ruled Yemen for 33 years, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who in response killed and injured thousands of Yemenie civilians, including children. A United Yemen divided by the S.I.A. to remove a historical southern threat to Saudi Arabia. This unrealistic division will increase not decrease civil and sectarian violence. A United Yemen divided by the S.I.A. to remove a historical southern threat to Saudi Arabia. This unrealistic division will increase not decrease civil and sectarian violence. The G.C.C. intervened and developed a peaceful transition plan of power from Saleh to his Vice President. Since then Yemen has been immersed in conflicts throughout the country from the north to the south. Some of it sectarian, a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia, while in the South a strong secessionist movement arose; while terrorists used car bombs and assassinations to overthrow the transitional government. A National Dialogue Conference that failed to unify the many different agendas of ideological and tribal parties finally accept the U.N. plan to divide Yemen into Six semi-uatonous provinces. This plan was endorsed by the U.S., i abia and the other G.C.C. nations. This is a catastrophic plan for Yemen, a nation of tribes who’ve had a long history of violent conflicts between them. This plan will only increase violence, wars, and terrorism over sovereignty, territory, oil, water resources, electrical distribution, access to food and health care, disagreement over international aid, and over the certain economic unfair distribution over federal funds. There will be violence, death, and mass expulsions of northerners from South Yemen and vice versa. Properties of northerners and southerners will be illegally seized in both areas. There is still the thorny issue of writing a Constitution, the role and powers of the federal government and the six provincial governments. Will these leaders be appointed or elected> The plan only calls for a Parliamentary vote and a Presidential signature. The populace has no electoral say in this plan and thus withoutpopular support it is doomed to fail sooner or later. I predict that in due time the Yemenie people will rise again demanding an end to this corrupt and violent prone plan and a return to a unified nation. All the while Obama, the illegal Drone warmonger, massively increased his beloved ‘DRONE WAR” in Yemen that has killed hundreds of innocent civilians. Please Wat this Video on Obama’s illegal Drone War on Yemen leading to civilian deaths and mass anger against the Yemen Government and the U.S. Yemenie members of victimized civilians have come to the U.S. pleading for a stop of these Drones and warning the U.S. that such is having a counterproductive effect where more youths are joining militant groups. But the U.S. knows best how to bomb Arab nations and introduce chaotic deadly democracy in the region. Al Qaeda is becoming more powerful in Syria and Iraq while the Taliban are gaining the upper hand in Afghanistan and will surely return to power in Afghanistan as a whole or a divided naiton. These drones are operated by isolated soldiers ten thousand miles away who simply watch a video screen to make the decision to attack or not. These men and women are uninformed as to the culture, customs, or traditions of tribes in Yemen, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Thus the tribal custom of firing guns into the air during a wedding celebration is interpreted as an attach thus resulting in drone bombs dropped on innocent civilians in wedding parties. There seems to be an addiction to drone bombing of weddings in the 3 nations since so many have ben bombed with scores of innocent civilians, including children, being killed. The U.N. has called such drone attacks “illegal”. “The United Nations experts express “serious concern”about US drone attacks in Yemen, December 26, 2013″ “UN human rights experts on Thursday expressed “serious concern” about lethal drone attacks allegedly conducted by US forces in Yemen, that resulted in civilian casualties this month”. Where is the Muslim Oil Wealth Going? Certainly not to the Muslim poor, hungry, sick and dying refugees around the world. Despite the enormous wealth of Saudi Arabia and other G.C.C. countries, their expenditure on desperate Muslim refugees around the world is pitifully small, shamefully so. According to the United Nations the G.C.C. Sovereign Wealth Funds which are assets from investments alone in 2012 was $1.8 Trillion, amounting to 34 percent of the entire world’s SWF’s. Yet the G.C.C. rulers treat such national wealth as their private spending money to use as they please, mainly on lavish expensive gifts such as private jets, yachts, cars, jewelry; and vacation pleasures such as prostitution, drugs, and alcohol. In Islam all wealth is a gift from God and belongs to God. Every Muslim male or female who have wealth above a certain minimum is obliged to give a certain portion to the poor and needy. This is a form of social justice. No Muslim is allowed to hoard wealth and not spend on the needy. From the Qur’an: 9:34 “Those who hoard the gold and silver, and do not spend them in the cause of GOD, promise them a painful retribution” It seems these wealthy G.C.C. rulers and families have abandoned Islam, forgotten their duty to God, have lost fear of God, and perhaps have been blinded by worldly wealth that they’ve lost sense of the Day of Judgement. The two photos below tell the tragic story between incomprehensible wealth spent by Prince Talal Bin Waleed, a Saudi prince, on a DIAMONE laden car (He also owns a car made of gold) and a Syrian refugees deprived and abandoned by the enormous wealth of Arab Muslims Sheiks in the G.C.C.

Syria in the US-Saudi-Israeli prism

by Zafar Bangash Events in Syria are not entirely based on domestic factors. There are three other conflicts underway that are all being played out through the struggle in Syria. No conflict in any society anywhere in the world is entirely due to internal factors. There are always external players that exploit internal divisions to advance their own agendas. This is even more so in Syria that lies at the confluence of numerous political fault lines and where the interests of many powers collide. While at a superficial level, it can be said that the Syrian people were motivated by the same desire as people elsewhere in the Muslim East — Tunisia, Egypt et al. — to seek freedom and have a greater say in governance, it would be wrong to assume that this was entirely a domestically inspired movement. Enough evidence exists, courtesy of Syrian opposition sources, to confirm that the plot was hatched outside Syria, to wit, in Paris under the auspices of the Americans, Israelis and Saudis in February 2011. Events in Syria must be understood against the backdrop of three other conflicts: the Israeli-Saudi struggle against Iran for regional influence; US-Russian power struggle for regional domination, and the US-Iran struggle for ideological influence. In all three arenas, the US and its allies have suffered setbacks. Turkey and Qatar have also joined the US-Saudi-Israeli nexus against Syria, and by extension Iran. The Syrian opposition’s offer of talks with Damascus, albeit with caveats, is proof that some of them have understood the regional dynamics. They have come to realize who wields the most power and influence in the region. It is not Riyadh, Tel Aviv, Ankara or Washington; it is Tehran. And Islamic Iran can be relied upon to play the role of honest broker, unlike the duplicitous Americans and devious Saudis. The plot to weaken the resistance front against Zionist Israel has ended up weakening the gang of conspirators and the setback they have suffered in Syria will unravel their other devilish plots as well. Let us start with Russia’s role in the Syrian crisis. By refusing to cede control of Syria that would have turned the Mediterranean into an American lake, Moscow served notice that there will be no repeat of the Libya scenario. Both Russia and China felt betrayed by the manner in which a UN no-fly zone resolution on Libya was turned into a shooting rampage decimating Colonel Muammar Qaddafi’s forces and infrastructure. Once the US-NATO war was unleashed, there was little that Moscow or Beijing could do to stop it. Unlike Libya however, Syria is of great interest to Russia. There is a 40-year long relationship; Syria is the biggest importer of Russian arms in the region and there is a Russian naval base at Tartus. Russia had too much to lose and it refused to roll over at the UN leading to the use of three vetoes against US-sponsored resolutions that would have authorized a NATO attack on Syria. China, too, sided with Russia. Next came the US-Saudi-Israeli nexus that wanted to cut an important arm of the resistance front against Zionist Israel. For its own reasons that we need not go into here, Syria has been an important pillar of the resistance front. Without its cooperation, Hizbullah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad could not have been helped to maintain their resistance against Zionist aggression. Turkey and Qatar joined this axis for their own reasons. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayip Erdogan fancies himself as the “new leader” of the Muslim world and the Turkish model as an example for other Muslim countries to emulate. Both the US and Israel have also been peddling this line. Tiny Qatar has, by getting so deeply involved in the Syrian crisis, projected itself on the world stage but it is likely to come up against the harsh reality of global politics and its bubble will be punctured sooner rather than later.

Turkey has run into serious problems domestically as well as regionally with its Syria policy and in recent weeks, it has become more circumspect in its pronouncements about Syria. The strident demands from Ankara for Bashar al-Asad to resign have been toned down. In fact, the ruling party is facing stiff resistance not only from other opposition parties in Turkey but also from the Turkish people that see the government’s Syria policy as a failure bordering on the disastrous. Zionist Israel’s animosity toward the Islamic Republic is well known. It has made no secret of its evil intentions toward Tehran and to strike it if it could. The Zionists, however, know that any such misadventure would result in serious blowback for which even these arrogant aliens in the Holy Land are not prepared. Thus, they joined the conspiracy to undermine and overthrow the Asad regime so that Iran would lose an important regional ally. The Zionists tried their hand first against Hizbullah in Lebanon in 2006 and were soundly defeated. Then they went after the softer target of Hamas in Gaza in December 2008–January 2009, and again they were unsuccessful. Their latest foray into Gaza last November also ended in failure. In fact, it exposed them to Hamas and Islamic Jihad rocket attacks that for the first time reached Tel Aviv. Should the Zionists make another mistake, more sophisticated rockets will be used in the next go around. If the Zionists are unable to defeat Hamas in a vulnerable enclave like Gaza, what chance do they have against Iran’s dedicated Revolutionary Guards that will make minced meat of the pleasure-loving Zionists. That brings us to the tribal-ruled Saudi Arabia, the perennial troublemakers of the Muslim world. Prior to the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the Saudis had donned the mantle of leaders of the Muslim Ummah, at least in matters religious. The fact that the two holy cities of Makkah and Madinah were in Saudi Arabia added to their aura although they had nothing to do with it. The Islamic Revolution in Iran exposed their fraudulent Islamic credentials. Initially, the Saudis went along with the rest of the Ummah in “welcoming” the Islamic Revolution but their true intentions were soon exposed in two developments: support for Iraq’s attack on Iran in September 1980 and soon thereafter the creation of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), bringing together the tribal sheikhdoms on the western shores of the Persian Gulf. Some dubbed the GCC as the Gulf Conspiracy Council. The Saudis have also chafed at the fact that Iraq, far from falling under the US umbrella despite being liberated from the clutches of Saddam Husain has become an ally of Iran. This has undermined Saudi influence even further hence their full throttled spouting of anti-Shi‘i venom and the murderous campaign of suicide and car bombings in places like Syria, Iraq and Pakistan. Saudi financing of terrorist operations in Syria is part of their effort to undermine al-Asad and by extension Iran. They have also dropped their mask and become open allies of Zionist Israel. They were always subservient to the US but their open alliance with the Zionists to oppose Islamic Iran has exposed them even more.

Let us finally consider the US-Iran struggle for ideological influence in the region. Behind all these moves in the region — whether in Syria, the Zionist regime’s wars against Hizbullah and Hamas or US attacks on Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003) — was the intended Western-Israeli attack on Islamic Iran. We must consider why the US is so obsessed with Islamic Iran. There are two reasons behind this. First, Islamic Iran is the only legitimate government in the region and is implacably opposed to the Zionist regime in occupied Palestine. Both the US and Israel know that the Arabian regimes were never serious in their opposition to Zionism. Their rhetoric was meant to camouflage their impotence and to hoodwink their own populations into believing that they were serious about liberating Palestine. Only Islamic Iran is serious and since the Zionists control the US, Washington’s rulers have been led by the nose to undermine Islamic Iran for the sake of Zionist Israel.

Iran’s real “sin” is that it has challenged the global order that was crafted by the victors of the Second World War. Iran has broken out of that stranglehold and refuses to abide by US or Israeli demands. Both Washington and Tel Aviv know that this poses a serious challenge to their exploitative policies because if allowed to succeed, it would influence the thinking of other people as well — both Muslim and non-Muslim — and help them launch campaigns to free themselves from the yoke of US imperialism. For more than 30 years, the US has been involved in a relentless campaign to undermine Islamic Iran through sabotage, assassinations, sanctions, wars and every kind of other illegal means. Despite all these pressures, Islamic Iran has stood its ground and not compromised on its principles. Instead, all these challenges have strengthened its resolve and given it more self-confidence. The US can clearly see that as a consequence of Iran’s successful experiment, increasing numbers of Muslims have turned to Islam to find solutions to their problems. The US attempt to destabilize the Asad regime — admittedly not democratically elected but one that is not without some degree of internal support either — is part of the ongoing campaign to destroy the Islamic Republic. Washington’s warlords have repeatedly suffered defeats in their nefarious plans and their conspiracy in Syria is also coming to naught. Unlike previous wars, the Afghan and Iraq wars have bankrupted America. Both US President Barack Obama and his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have admitted that war is not an option for the US in Syria. This is quite an admission from an arrogant self-proclaimed superpower that was used to getting its away in the world. In the ideological struggle for the hearts and minds of people, the US and its allies have lost. There is a new world order in the making that is centered around Tehran. Muslims everywhere would do well to understand this reality and adjust their thinking accordingly. As Allah says in His noble Book, “O you who are securely committed to Allah, if you help the cause of Allah, He will give you victory and fortify your [advancing] resolve.” (47:07). What better deal do Muslims want from the Creator and Sustainer of all the worlds? March, 2013

Mursi joins the US-zionist-Saudi crusade in Syria

by Ayman Ahmed July, 2013

President Mursi has succumbed to US-Saudi-zionist pressure and joined the crusade in Syria. Since becoming president, he has badly mishandled Egypt’s affairs and with a bankrupt economy, he has embarked on a policy that will have serious repercussions for the country’s future. In recent days, many observers have found Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi’s behavior quite erratic. Whether this is forced upon him by circumstances and/or powers that be or reflect his own thinking is difficult to tell but instead of showing leadership he has succumbed to the forces of darkness that are leading him down a blind alley. His latest antics come amid shrill calls from the US and its Western allies to devise plans to send heavy weapons to the mercenaries in Syria that have already caused havoc in the country. On June 13, President Barack Obama alleged that the Syrian government was guilty of using “chemical weapons” — Obama’s red line — and that he was authorizing the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to arrange for arms shipments to the rebels. The same day, a conference of some 70 religious scholars was held in Cairo, Egypt. Was it a coincidence or choreographed to provide an Islamic crutch to what is a Western crusade against another Muslim country? Convened by the International Union of Muslim Scholars, a body headed by Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi and generously funded by Qatar and Saudi Arabia, it was attended by some 70 court ‘ulama from Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf monarchies. These so-called ‘ulama have never had the tawfiq to utter one word of condemnation against Zionist crimes inflicted on the long-suffering Palestinians but they waxed eloquent in support of the Syrian people and the mercenaries fighting there. The conference attendees were shown a crude video, most probably doctored, to highlight “crimes” perpetrated by the Syrian army against the people. Even if true, there is no shortage of crimes being perpetrated by both sides in Syria. Recently a horrible video appeared on YouTube, uploaded by the rebels, in which one of the Saudi-Zionist-American-backed mercenaries ripped open the body of a dead Syrian soldier and chewed upon his liver. Even Russian President Vladimir Putin was so appalled by this that he publicly chastised British Prime Minister David Cameron at a June 16 press conference in London telling him, “Do you want to arm people that eat their enemies’ organs?” Cameron offered the lame excuse, “Not all of them do it.” How many cannibals would it take for the West and their Arabian puppets to stop arming such beasts? The website for Shaykh al-Qaradawi’s organization ran a statement claiming the Cairo meeting was designed to “show the real face of Iran, the Asad regime and Hizbullah,” in reference to the allegation that Islamic Iran and Hizbullah’s backing is keeping Bashar al-Asad’s government in power. There is no proof of Iran’s direct military involvement in Syria although Tehran has made no secret of its political backing for al-Asad as part of the resistance front against Zionist aggression. Hizbullah did support the Syrian army to liberate al-Qusayr in May but that came two years after the mercenaries had occupied the border town and perpetrated terrible crimes against civilians, many of them Lebanese. On the other hand, it is well documented that at least 40,000 mercenaries from 27 countries are operating in Syria. Regimes supporting such mercenaries or allowing them to use their territory to cross into Syria are in clear violation of international law — yes, the one crafted by the West itself that is so often invoked against those that challenge Western hegemony — and thus are perpetrating war crimes. Such violations, however, have not bothered the West’s human rights crusaders because they are determined to overthrow al-Asad even if the mercenaries they are supporting indulge in acts of cannibalism. In fact, such acts advance the West’s long-standing agenda to depict Islam in the most negative light. Barring a few exceptions, the overwhelming majority of Muslims worldwide have recoiled in horror at such behavior. It reminds them of the barbaric practice of Abu Sufyan’s wife Hind in the Battle of Uhud when she ripped open the body of Hamzah (ra), the Prophet’s uncle, and chewed upon his liver. Are the mercenaries in Syria any better? More crucially, those backing them are following in the footsteps of Abu Jahal, Abu Lahab, Abu Sufyan and his wife Hind. Back to the days of jahiliyah!

The Cairo conference and those attending it had a nefarious agenda: to stoke sectarian conflict in the Ummah. They declared the anti-government struggle in Syria as “jihad” and urged “Sunni Muslims” from all over the world to join it. But making such declarations at a conference attended by a mere 70 court ‘ulama including the Shaykh of al-Azhar Ahmed al-Tayeb, who is known to be a decent person, would not get much traction; nor would Shaykh al-Qaradawi’s website help advance the cause of the “jihadi mercenaries.” A more direct approach was deemed necessary to reach a wider audience. The next day, on Jumu‘ah, a direct appeal was made to the masses at salat al-jumu‘ah. Saudi preacher Mohammed al-‘Arify used his guest sermon at a central masjid in Cairo to harangue thousands of worshippers to not only support the mercenaries in Syria but to join them by enlisting in “jihad.” It was al-‘Arify who had earlier issued a call for Muslim girls to join what he referred to as jihad al-munakahah in Syria. What this means is that Muslim girls should go to Syria to service the sexual needs of mercenaries fighting there. Unfortunately some gullible girls from Tunisia and other places have joined what is essentially a prostitution racket to advance the Zionist-imperialist agenda in the region. Worse still, those that call themselves ‘ulama are advocating such conduct. Even Masjid al-Haram, the sacred House of Allah (swt) in Makkah has not been spared. Sheikh Sa‘ud al-Shuraym, using the minbar of Masjid al-Haram on Jumu‘ah urged Muslims to help the Syrian rebels “by all means” possible. He even broke down while making the appeal, whichwas broadcast live on several Arabian TV channels. How many times has any Saudi preacher made an appeal to help the Palestinians, much less shedding tears for them? Muslims struggling for their legitimate rights elsewhere, in Kashmir or Afghanistan, for instance, should not entertain any illusions that a Saudi preacher would ever pray for them much less ask for material help. In the desert kingdom, use of the two sacred masjids — Masjid al-Haram and al-Masjid al-Nabawi — or indeed any other masjid, for political sermons is strictly forbidden. Talking rituals is the order of the day. The House of Saud is terrified lest some independent-minded shaykh might emerge and take its members to task for corruption or lewd behavior. Pre-approved khutbahs are handed to them to deliver from all the masjids in the kingdom. The abuse of the minbar to vilify fellow Muslims revives memories of the dark days of the Umayyad rulers when they instituted the policy of cursing Imam ‘Ali (a) and the Prophet’s (pbuh) family, the Ahl al-Bayt (nastaghfir-allah). After participating in the khutbah crusade, the preachers assembled in Cairo, feasted on rice and lamb, and then rested for a while, as is their wont, before invading the presidential palace to harangue Mursi to join their campaign. Seeing Saudi- and Qatari-backed preachers and smelling riyals, Mursi could not resist the temptation. Egypt is suffering from a severe financial crisis making him vulnerable to petro-dollars and riyals. He succumbs to whoever comes with offers of cash for his cash-strapped country. After his meeting with the preachers on Friday night, Mursi addressed thousands of supporters in a Cairo stadium the following day for a “Free Syria” rally. Some of the religious preachers from the conference were also present. Mursi announced cutting all relations with Damascus. He said Egypt was closing its embassy and withdrawing its Charge d’Affaires from Damascus while he demanded the Syrian ambassador leave Cairo. Mohamed Seif al-Dawla, a former advisor to Mursi recalled that after Israel attacked Syria in May, he had demanded the closure of the Zionist embassy in Cairo. Instead, Mursi has shut down the Syrian embassy! Just over a year earlier, Mursi had announced the formation of a four-member Contact Group to resolve the Syrian crisis peacefully. He had made the appeal at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation meeting in Makkah. He reiterated the same call at the Non-Aligned Movement summit in Tehran a couple of weeks later. The quartet, according to Mursi would comprise Egypt, Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. With his support base at home shrinking and under US-Saudi-Qatari pressure, Mursi has abandoned his own plan to resolve the Syrian crisis through dialogue. Instead, he has joined the Anglo-Wahhabi-Zionist-imperialist crusade. He even demanded that a no-fly zone be imposed over Syria in the manner of Libya. Russia has made clear it will not support any such move and would veto any resolution presented in the UN Security Council. It is depressing to note that those calling themselves ‘ulama resort to tactics that are bound to deepen existing fissures in the Ummah. Exactly a century ago, the British had injected the poison of nationalism to create divisions between the Ottoman Turks and Arabian chiefs. While these tribal chiefs did not get independence, their betrayal led directly to the implantation of the Zionist entity in Palestine. Today, sectarianism is being promoted in order to safeguard the Zionist entity from the growing awareness in the Ummah, especially the Muslim East. The Arabian chiefs will pay a heavy price for such treachery. In any case, their days are numbered and sooner rather than later, they will be consigned to the dustbin of history where they rightly belong.

Respecting differences

by Zafar Bangash June, 2013

The tendency among some Muslims to insist that their particular understanding of Islam is the only correct way has caused numerous problems. These are compounded by rigidity leading to unnecessary conflict when Muslims should be tolerant of different approaches. Every Muslim sincerely and consciously commits to the One God — Allah (swt) — the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as the last and final messenger for all humanity, and the Qur’an as the revealed word of Allah (swt) to guide humanity till eternity. Problems arise in the Muslims’ selective understanding and application of Qur’anic teachings and the role of the noble Messenger (pbuh) in their lives. This is further complicated by some Muslims’ insistence that their particular understanding is the only legitimate way to interpret and implement Islam in real life. When such attitudes harden into fanaticism, it leads to disunity among Muslims and divisions in the Ummah. Many different approaches can be identified but the most serious differences exist among those Muslims that are striving to establish Islamic states in their societies. Is there only one way to achieve this? Often adherents of different approaches seem to think theirs is the only correct way and all others are wrong. Our readers know where we stand. Our position is clear from our writings in this magazine as well as from our other works such as the tafsir of the noble Qur’an by Imam Muhammad al-Asi or the books we have produced on the Sirah of the noble Messenger (pbuh). But we also take the position that no matter how strongly we may disagree with other Muslims’ point of view we do not exclude them from the fold of Islam or from adding their views to the larger ferment of Islamic ideas. Denouncing other Muslims as kafirs has regrettably become fashionable among some groups (the takfiris). They go further: based on such denunciation, they think it is permissible to kill the Muslims so identified. Such behavior has no sanction in the Qur’an or the Sunnah and the Sirah of the noble Messenger (pbuh). There are a few conditions in which killing others (anyone) is permitted: three of these include engagement on the battlefield, treason, and the murder of an innocent person. In the latter case, the Qur’an stresses forgiveness over revenge. So how did Muslims end up with this strange takfiri ideology that is spreading like a virus in the Ummah? A closely related phenomenon is that of sectarianism. It is used to create hatred against a targeted group of Muslims to justify acts of violence against them — including killing them. Muslims would do well to identify the forces that are pushing them toward sectarian warfare: imperialism and Zionism. True, different sects have always existed among Muslims but their differences never took on the virulent form it has taken on today. Whose interest does it serve for Muslims to fight each other? Let us be blunt: some Muslims that call themselves Sunnis are busy instigating hatred against other Muslims that carry the Shi‘i label. This is most clearly visible in places like Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Bahrain. The launch of this campaign can be traced to the success of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, a Shi‘i majority country, in 1979. Iran’s success exposed the fraudulent claims of the puppet Arabian regimes to being Islamic. The only way they could undermine Islamic Iran was by playing up the sectarian card. Regrettably, some Sunni ‘ulama including those that have built a reputation for learning have also joined this campaign. Changes in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon have led them to describe these as the “Shi‘i project.” When a tyrant like Saddam Husain was in power in Iraq, many of these ‘ulama remained silent. Today, they seem to have fallen for the lure of comfortable living under the patronage of petro-rulers and joined their vicious sectarian game. Instead of urging Muslims to confront imperialism and Zionism and their local agents in the Muslim world, they are busy pushing Muslims into the flames of sectarianism. We have no doubt that committed Muslims will ultimately triumph over the imperialists, Zionists and their munafiq agents in the Muslim world, as promised by Allah (swt) in the noble Qur’an (47:07, 61:13), but before that victory is achieved, Muslims would have paid a terrible price in life and blood. Committed Muslims have an obligation to properly understand the global reality and take the necessary steps to guard against all such schemes aimed at dividing them. Such divisions only serve the agenda of a more and more desperate West, whose policies have failed. Leading Muslim institutions, such as al-Azhar in Egypt, have a responsibility to come out clearly against such attempts at creating divisions and work for social and religious harmony among Muslims. Al-Azhar has a rich history of working to bring Muslims together. The legacy of Shaykh Mahmoud Shaltut needs to be revived and built on. Now is the time to do it.

Imam Khomeini: the battle for hearts and minds

by Afeef Khan June, 2013

One of the essential pre-requisites for leadership is to set a directional course and motivate people to follow it. This is what Imam Khomeini (ra) achieved and brought about the Islamic revolution in Iran. Imam Khomeini won the battle for Muslim hearts and minds. America and the Zionists lost. He feared Allah (swt) and had no fear of presidents, princes, shahs, and any other human rivals to Allah (swt). He won because he had the clarity of conviction that translates into the ability to lead, in short, to be an imam. The function of leadership is to produce transformational change. Effective leaders accomplish this by setting a directional course, aligning large groups of people to that course, and by motivating them to hold themselves accountable for their commitments of learning through action and deliberation. In the past 250 years for Muslims, no Islamic leader did this better than Imam Khomeini. True, there have been leaders of Islamic movements, but he was the only one to achieve success as a true imam. But this was no accident. Setting a new direction is fundamental to leading. A new directional course requires intellectual clarity. This is the greatest gift an imam can offer to his hungry Muslim constituencies: having the confidence to know what to do in any given situation, having the confidence to engage in a rational process that allows the best ideas to dominate, and that does not require the validation of other human beings, especially those who have divided, in a binary way, the world into inferiors and superiors where the inferiors always require the endorsement of the self-declared superiors. This is how imperialists and Zionists look at the world, driving a wedge into the natural human tendency to co-associate. In point of fact, all human beings are inferior and Allah (swt) is their superior and as such all actions are to be validated according to Allah’s (swt) revealed reference points for humanity: the Qur’an and the prophetic precedent. Truth requires no human approval and it certainly needs no behavior of a preferred class to authenticate it. Truth is self-evident to anyone who thinks about it. Human activity is to be judged by Allah’s (swt) criterion of right and wrong, and right and wrong does not “rise” to the level of palatability by the “standard” and behavior of those who hold temporal power or prominence. Setting a directional course creates a sense of urgency, produces an overall vision to strive for along with a strategy to get there, and satisfies the needs and rights of important constituencies in society. The Imam lived his entire life with a sense of urgency. All of us who remember Imam Khomeini know that in his executive capacity as head of state, he came out and immediately connected domestic oppression and degradation to its global counterpart in Washington, Tel Aviv, London, Paris, and Riyadh. Throughout his scholarly career and when he stepped onto the world stage, he rejected all Western ideological and philosophical ruminations, and thereby marginalized any governmental implementations based on these theories in the East and the West as being inconsistent with Allah’s (swt) command, the Prophet’s (pbuh) counsel, and the people’s liberation. He showed his people that capitalism and communism were cut from the same cloth, and thus he was the first modern leader to break from the ideological stranglehold the West held over ideas that translated into representative political institutions whose goal was to satisfy the needs of all the people, and not some special interests. The full force of his lifelong resistance culminating in a decade of rule over an Islamic state showed all people that divinely inspired universal principles of social justice are fundamentally incompatible with the Western discourse and practice of governance, despite the high-sounding rubric of democracy, free markets and globalization. As a world leader with a vision, he even advised, in vain, Mikail Gorbachev, to liberate his people from the obvious problems besetting all Western societies in their dissociation from God. Often when Muslims are queried about the one major problem in their societies, they say it is education, usually of a scientific, professional or technological nature, that is, medicine, engineering, information technology, environmental science, etc. Few Muslims, although this is changing, will point to unresponsive political institutions and impotent rulers. Imam Khomeini was not similarly confused. He knew that he had to separate the coordinated activities of his people from dead-end pursuits. He knew that an Islamic directional course would clarify what kind of education is essential and what kind is irrelevant. He wanted his people in particular, and all Muslims in general to understand that they need not look too far away to Oxford, Harvard, and even al-Azhar (in the depleted state it is in because of the legacy of Egyptian autocracy), that knowledge and wisdom come from the fountainhead of Allah’s (swt) guidance. The Imam did not initiate a policy to go out and build scores of universities so that his people could put a man on the moon; indeed he put his people on a collision course with those power structures who thrive on creating human conflict so that they can dominate. In this task, the nascent Islamic event in Iran found itself alone. It had no choice but to rely on Allah (swt). And in this process, it discovered and released its innate human potential. Today’s Islamic society in Iran and the Muslims of the world are the beneficiaries of the Imam’s directional course, paved as it is with the fluid lives of hundreds of thousands of shuhada’. Islamic Iran in now world class in nuclear medicine and bridge building; its managed health care approaches, especially those directed at low-income households and villages, are now being studied and implemented across the world; its literacy rates, for both men and women, are among the highest in the world, now exceeding many advanced countries; it is one of nine countries in the world to indigenously build its own satellite and rocket technology with the result that it is the first Muslim country to independently put its own satellite into orbit. It is the only country in the modern world to not only survive a 30-year economic siege, but to show expansion when the rest of the world is in recession. Equivalent sanctions between the two world wars effectively crippled Germany leading to the emergence of Nazism. Not so with Islamic Iran. And there are many other achievements to come as the people come to grips with their capacities and their God-given promise.

Syria… the new Israel?

by Abu Dharr April, 2013 The war on Syria is in reality a battle for survival by the House of Saud that has poured billions into the conflict. Ultimately, however, the Saudis will fail, resulting in their demise. With all the doom and gloom scenarios being painted about Syria, this writer is cautiously optimistic. The Syrian quagmire may not come to a conclusive end tomorrow or the day after, but when it does finally wind down, it will be on terms favorable to Islamic self-determination. That, as far as facts on the ground are concerned, appears almost certain. Two years ago, in the wake of the people’s movements in North Africa, the Syrian people joined the requiem. Some of them sincerely wanted and demanded a representative government and others (the more influential with Euro-American linkages) wanted to grab state power in pursuit of pre-planned (outside) agendas. The Syrian government, hitherto known for its shrewd survivalist calculations and moves, nervously reacted by dispatching its military to put down what the Syrian government reckoned were juvenile events in the southern city of Dar‘a and then firecracker bursts in Homs and its surrounding areas. Obviously, the security-inebriated Ba‘thi officials in Damascus did not read the pulse of their own people correctly. They fell into the trap that was laid for them by those who studied and researched Syria and sectarianism well. And the Syrian security-obsessed personnel continue to be deluded by their military “advantage,” which is reducing Syria to rubble. What began as a low-level protest movement two years ago has escalated into a full-fledged civil war with around 80,000 killed, one million refugees leaving Syria, a couple of million at least who are internally displaced, and historical cities turned into ghost towns. What caused a more-or-less peaceful civic movement in the south and north of the country to spiral out of control and turn into guerrilla warfare and a war-by-proxy? The unspoken answer to that is Saudi Arabia. As much as this is a Syrian civil war, this is also a Saudi Arabian war of destiny. Saudi Arabia — as much as the mainstream media want to conceal this fact — is the main intruder into internal Syrian affairs. Billions of “Saudi” dollars have been set aside for financing mercenaries and guns-for-hire who are tasked with decapitating the Syrian regime. Other billions of “Saudi” dollars are allocated for satellite TV stations, the print media, and everything else between ink and airwaves to propagandize for the Syrian “opposition.” The Saudi regime brings to the Syrian civil war its backups, representatives, and proxies. Saudi intrusion into Syria comes with such outfits as Jund al-Sham and Jabhat al-Nusrah, with al-Qaeda types, and with the Persian Gulf nephews and nieces of Saudi Arabia such as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, et al. A document leaked a few months ago shows a Saudi interior ministry letterhead with a proposal to release over 2,000 death-row detainees in Saudi Arabia (Egyptians, Yemenis, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc.) who would go to Syria and fight alongside the Saudi sponsored militant units. The enticement was not only to have their death sentences commuted, but also the Saudi government would pay a lifelong monthly subsidy to support their families! The question here is: why is Saudi Arabia going all the way to ensure that the Syrian regime does not pull through this civil war? The answer is so obvious that many observers cannot see it! The fact is that the Islamic Republic of Iran has succeeded in welding together policies and politics that the Saudi officials miscalculate and consider to be threatening. While the Saudis were sleeping on their laurels, their neighbors in Iran were out in the field doing their homework and building their infrastructure. Saudi Arabian rulers-by-whim-and-instinct woke up after 30 years of an anti-Iranian American sponsored strategy to the reality of an “Iranian regional power.” The Islamic Republic of Iran has made it very clear to the Saudi royals that they seek friendly and neighborly relations with the Kingdom. This message has been communicated through numerous channels. Still, the Saudi ruling clan was terrified to realize that its clout was diminishing in the Palestinian arena, in the Arabian domain, and in the Islamic sphere — areas where hitherto criticizing Saudi Arabia was taboo. The American handlers of these late-sleeping Saudis convinced the paranoid ruling class in Riyadh and Jeddah that Iran is a “threat.” And easily convinced they were. So they signed on to a strategy that would pump into the Euro-American military banking complex mountains of cash. To sweeten the pot, Syria was turned into the killing fields that prove to public opinion the canard that Islamic Iran is the real danger — a danger, by admission of many Saudi sponsored politicians and pulpiteers that, in their own words, surpasses Israel and Zionism. We all know the mainstream media myth about Saudi Arabia being the custodians of the two holy places of Makkah and Madinah. If Saudi Arabia is the custodian of any two things, they are imperialism and Zionism. For the record, there are two Saudi islands that are occupied by the Israeli Zionists. No one dare mention this because that would add Saudi Arabia to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt whose territories are occupied by the Israeli Zionist regime. Israel occupies Saudi territories while the Saudis occupy some Islamic movements. The silence of some Islamic movements about Saudi Arabia is as deafening as the silence of the Saudis about Israeli occupation of their own lands. The Islamic level of awareness is growing and the Saudi rulers are feeling the heat. Therefore, to them, the Syrian crisis is a make-or-break issue. If they have it their way (the American-Israeli way), they will have snatched victory from the only serious and studious contemporary strategy to liberate Palestine. One example of the Saudi opposition to enlightenment and the spread of knowledge comes from the prominent Saudi in-religious-apparel Sheikh, ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Barrak. He said that elections are haram (forbidden), they are alien to the Muslims, and they amount to mimicking the kafirs! This is how his logic goes: elections are a means of equating scholars with illiterates, and men with women; and (according to him) this equality is contrary to intellect and al-shar‘ (divine law)! For the record, this Saudi “scholar” also has his own twitter account. So he tweets saying: Adopting an electoral system to decide who will become president or who will become a member of any decision-making body is a haram (prohibited) matter. This (election) crept upon the Muslims via the kafirs! He tells us that assigning such decision-making positions is the function of ahl al-halli wa-al-‘aqd (legislators) and people in power!! But how do these legislators and people in power get to their positions, this scholar does not tell us! He says that this is not up to normal people to decide. This is the same scholar who issued a fatwa saying that the Ka‘bah should be demolished and then rebuilt in a way that makes it impossible for men and women to be in close proximity (or the intermixing of the sexes as he would word it) during the Hajj. If Saudi America flaunts scholars like this who issue fatwas to destroy the Ka‘bah and rebuild it lest the pilgrims there be subjected to their obsession with sex, then it would follow quite naturally that the same Saudi America would have that class of clergymen issue fatwas to destroy a whole country like Syria and rebuild it to fit within their futuristic dreams for perverted sex, voluptuous women, and filthy wealth. The Saudi regime is as errant as the Syrian regime. The Syrian regime misunderstood and miscalculated the temperament of its own people. The Saudi regime misunderstood and miscalculated the temperament of the Muslims at large. Their propaganda has bought them some time. But time is not on their side. They are playing on the victimhood of the Syrian people much like the Syrian regime was playing on the steadfastness of the Syrian people. At this point in time when the fuse has already been lit it is too late to tell the Syrian people, “Stop! Can’t you see what has happened to you? You have been hijacked by imposters. You have no representative government and you have no representative opposition.” To all Muslims of conscience and honor, not duped by Saudi mischief and money, listen in, And a Day on which a dhalim [offender] will bite his hands [in despair], exclaiming, “O, would that I had stayed the course with the Apostle [of Allah]! O, Woe unto me! Would that I had not taken so-and-so as an intimate ally! Indeed, he [in this context, the Saudi-Syrian false dichotomy] led me astray from the consciousness [of Allah] after it had come to me!” For [thus it is]: Satan is ever a betrayer of man (25:27–29). Pull quote: As much as this is a Syrian civil war, this is also a Saudi Arabian war of destiny… Billions of “Saudi” dollars have been set aside for financing mercenaries and guns-for-hire who are tasked with decapitating the Syrian regime.

Saudis resort to crude sectarianism to create divisions in the Ummah

Abu Dharr

Sectarianism has been a time tested tool in the hands of illegitimate rulers since the Islamic institution of khilafah was subverted into mulukiyah nearly 1,400 years ago. Today, the illegitimate rulers of Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are using this weapon to divert attention away from their oppressive policies and subservience to the West and to Zionist Israel.

Pictured are (left ro right): Kuwait's Crown Prince Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah; the Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani; a representative of Sultan Qaboos of Oman, Fahad bin Mahmoud Al Saeed; Kuwait's Emir Sabah Al Ahmed Al Jaber Al Sabah; Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah; Bahrain's King Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, and UAE President and Abu Dhabi Ruler Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahayyan


Until now, the main culprit was the regime in Saudi Arabia followed by Kuwait. Now tiny Bahrain has also joined these troublemakers because its illegitimate rule is being challenged by the people that have been subjected to brutal suppression for decades. Saudi Arabia has established a fatwa factory from where it habitually issues fatwas of takfir against the Shias. Such fatwas, however, are not hurled only at the Shi‘is. Any Muslim that disagrees with their narrow obscurantist views is immediately branded a kafir or accused of indulging in bid‘ah or other “un-Islamic” practices. The underlying message is that only the Saudis are “true” Muslims.

The Saudis are the leading manufacturers and exporters of takfiri fatwas. The uprising in Bahrain where the people are demanding their legitimate rights like people elsewhere in the Muslim East have been dismissed as “Shi‘i agitators.” The Saudis have gone so far as to accuse Islamic Iran of interfering in Bahrain’s affairs. It is interesting to note that while thousands of Saudi troops and tens of thousands of American sailors are prowling all over Bahrain, the Saudis are crying hoarse about Iran. There are no Iranian troops in Bahrain. Even Western officials — no friends of Iran — have said they have found no evidence of Iranian involvement in or instigation of the people’s uprising yet the Saudis have been using the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) as a platform to hurl invectives at Tehran.


Bahrain Protests: More Than 100,000 March Through Capital As Helicopters Circle Overhead
On April 17, the frightened rulers of GCC member states — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE and Oman — met in Riyadh and called on the Islamic Republic to stop its “interference” in the GCC. The meeting was called to discuss the rapidly escalating crisis in Yemen but the foreign ministers found time to make allegations against Iran. Without providing proof and in a desperate Saudi and Emirati bid to camouflage their own occupation of Bahrain to crush the legitimate aspirations of the people there, the GCC called on “the international community and the [UN] Security Council to take the necessary measures to make flagrant Iranian interference and provocations aimed at sowing discord and destruction” among the GCC states.

It said the GCC “categorically rejects all foreign interference in its affairs and invites the Iranian regime to stop its provocations.” Unable to justify their brutal clampdown of peaceful protesters especially in Bahrain where the overwhelming majority of the population is Shi‘i (there is also a sizeable Shi‘i population in Saudi Arabia that is equally suppressed and deprived of basic rights), the Saudis are trying to turn this into a sectarian issue. If people ask for their fundamental rights, how does it become a sectarian problem? The Saudis were also opposed to the removal of Hosni Mubarak from power because they felt it would expose them to pressure from people demanding similar rights in the kingdom. This is true. Was sectarianism also involved in Mubarak’s removal? If not — and it clearly was not — how can they categorize the Bahrainis’ demand for rights and dignity as promoting sectarianism? The Saudis feel quite vulnerable; and they should. Their rule is illegitimate and their policies have caused great damage to the larger interests of the Ummah.

The Saudis and their frightened GCC partners, clinging to each other for support, are not content merely with issuing appeals to the “international community and the Security Council” to save their tottering regimes. They know these appeals will not yield much direct help. Western support, even for friendly regimes has limits. Chastened by their experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Americans and their allies are not about to rush into another minefield even if they will increase the volume of their rhetoric against Islamic Iran or whoever the Saudis think is causing them grief. The most that will happen is that the West will not support any uprising in these countries as they have shown in the case of Bahrain.

While that may bring some comfort to these regimes, the Saudis have gone further. They have resorted to their favourite ploy to divide the Ummah along sectarian lines. They have sent their court ‘ulama to visit various countries and mobilize Muslim communities to form councils and organizations in “defence of the Sahabah”.

The Imam of Masjid al-Haram, Shaikh Sudais, for instance, was recently in India to rope in the Muslims into the Saudis’ campaign of sowing sectarian discord. Muslims have great attachment to Makkah and Madinah and the imams there are looked upon with respect. Most Muslims also admire their reciting skills but to use these imams for such nefarious activities is not only sad but also dangerous. It is equally disturbing that such imams allow themselves to be used by the corrupt and anti-Islamic rulers of Saudi Arabia.


Let us be clear: there should be no insults of the Sahabah or the Umahat al-Mumineen (the Mothers of the committed Muslims, that is, the wives of the noble Messenger of Allah – r) by anyone. But if the Saudis and their court preachers are really serious about this, we are constrained to ask: why do they not start in the kingdom itself? The Saudis have a strange sense of respecting the Sahabah; they have vandalised most of the historic sites of Islam. In fact, in their inexorable drive to build concrete and glass monstrosities in and around the Haram in Makkah and Madinah, they have obliterated virtually all traces of Islamic history including many monuments associated with the noble Messenger (pbuh) and his Sahabah (companions).

For instance, the house where the noble Messenger (pbuh) spent 25 blissful years of his married life with Khadijah (g), has been turned into a toilet. What kind of respect do these Saudi-Wahhabis show for the Prophet (pbuh) and his beloved wife and family? Even the green dome over the Prophet’s (pbuh) grave in al-Masjid al-Nabawi is not safe from these primitive bedouin vandals from Najd. Plans are afoot to demolish the green dome and remove the Prophet’s (pbuh) body from there. What more proof do Muslims need of the Saudis’ disrespect of the noble Messenger (pbuh) and the vile nature of the Saudi regime?

Why does Shaikh Sudais not raise his voice and lend his prestige to protest real acts of vandalism and desecrations by the House of Saud rather than flying all the way to India to whip up hysteria over a hypothetical issue? Even if the Imam of Masjid al-Haram in Makkah has little sympathy for people struggling for their rights and dignity in the Muslim East — and there is no reason why he should not — what excuse does he have to remain silent about the Saudis’ destructive policies that are obliterating Islamic history and heritage? And why is the Saudi regime not helping the oppressed people of Palestine in the same way that it has joined the crusade against Qaddafi of Libya? Saudi hypocrisy and subservience to the kafirs know no bounds.

It is sad to see such ‘ulama lend their name and prestige — that comes with being imams of such noble sanctuaries — to become tools of the corrupt Saudi monarchy, which is only interested in protecting its own illegitimate rule regardless of the damage it causes to Islam or the honour of the Prophet (pbuh) and his Sahabah. It is also quite revealing that not one imam either in Masjid al-Haram or al-Masjid al-Nabawi has raised his voice about the destruction of masjids by Saudi troops or desecration of copies of the noble Qur’an in Bahrain. Should one conclude that these imams do not know about this or that they are complicit in these crimes?

Either way it is not a good reflection of their character or behaviour. Muslims deserve far better from such ‘ulama than becoming tools in a vicious propaganda campaign against the legitimate aspirations of the people in the Muslim East whether in Bahrain, Yemen or Saudi Arabia. The time for games is over; let the ‘ulama of Saudi Arabia make a clear choice: are they with the Muslim masses struggling for dignity and honour or with the corrupt rulers that are subservient to the forces of kufr, nifaq and zulm?

Uprisings for dignity sweep the Islamic East

Zafar Bangash

The unthinkable has happened in Egypt. The masses have consigned Hosni Mubaak, the most brutal Middle Eastern despot, to the dustbin of history. This became possible only because people shook off the fear that had paralysed them for 30 years. They have also crossed another important landmark: they refused to be provoked by the thugs unleashed by the regime. This would have provided the regime the pretext to unleash its massive firepower and crush the uprising as happened in Algeria 20 years earlier.

Protests have now spread to other parts of the Middle East with people rising up against long-time rulers in Yemen, Jordan, Bahrain, Libya, Algeria, Djibouti and Morocco. The response of the regimes has been equally brutal but people have not been cowed down. If earlier, people kept their heads down and their voices low against state brutality, now they are standing firm and defying the regimes’ shock troops.

Sometimes, seemingly insignificant events can assume global proportions. It was the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi, an unemployed university graduate (not the first in Tunisia) that sparked the uprising forcing the Tunisian dictator general Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali to flee on January 14. According to reports, Ben Ali has since suffered a stroke in exile in Jeddah and is in a coma. If true, he deserves the fate but it would have been better if he were put on trial, something he denied tens of thousands of people during his brutal rule, and face the consequences for his crimes.


The uprising in Tunisia encouraged the Egyptians also to rise up, with protests quickly spreading to other countries as well. This in turn has caused immense panic in the desert kingdom of Saudi Arabia where the ailing old monarch, King Abdullah seems to have lost nerve completely. He is also upset with US President Barack Obama for “abandoning” Mubarak. Abdullah now feels the heat of the desert spreading.

But it is the change in Egypt that has great significance because the country is a leading player in the Islamic East. While influenced by the example of the intrepid Tunisians that surprised everyone, there was an Egyptian element as well involved. Last June, the Egyptian police beat to death Khalid Sa‘id, a 27-year-old internet buff. His crime? He had obtained a video of the police smoking dope that he wanted to post on the internet. He never lived to do so. There were sporadic protests against the killing but the spark was provided when Wael Ghoneim, a young Google executive opened a Facebook account in the name of Khalid Sa‘id, saying “We are all Khalid Sa‘ids”. This mobilized the Egyptian people who felt they had enough of tyranny and would not put up with any more humiliation.

Western commentators have tried to spin the uprisings in terms of people hankering for bread, lower food prices and jobs. While there is some truth to such assertions, what they have deliberately ignored is that the people’s uprising was and is for dignity and honour. They refuse to put up with the humiliations they have been subjected to for decades by their cowardly rulers that are completely subservient to the Zionists and the Americans. The people have said and continue to proclaim loudly that they are fed up with corruption, cowardice and the craven attitude of their rulers.

The rulers’ cowardice and treachery can be gleaned from the following episode. Even as Mubarak was teetering on the brink, he signed an executive order on February 8 prohibiting entry of Palestinians from Ghazzah even if they had valid visas. Similarly, hundreds of Palestinians were stranded at Cairo airport and other locations in Egypt unable to return to Ghazzah. The border was opened — but only one way into Ghazzah — on February 20 to allow the Palestinians to return home. The military regime has refused to lift the Zionist-imposed illegal siege of Ghazzah despite the Egyptian people wanting such restrictions ended. They must continue the struggle not only to demolish all pillars of the old regime completely but also break the siege of Ghazzah and reject the unjust peace imposed on them by the Americans and the Zionists if they are to achieve true dignity.

It must also be emphasized that simply getting rid of despotic rulers will not solve the problems afflicting the region, or indeed the Muslim world. There are systemic problems plaguing Muslim societies. The exploitative systems from the ground up must be uprooted, Iran-style, if people are to achieve true independence. Change will not come about at the hands of the militaries. They are instruments of oppression working to advance the US-Zionist agenda. The officer class in virtually every Muslim country — trained in the West and beholden to it, especially the Americans — is the bastion of nifaq in the local establisment. Unless the militaries are purged of the westoxicated officer class, no meaningful change can occur in the Muslim world.

Some rulers may have been driven from office, others may be running scared because their fragile state structures stand exposed but the struggle for dignity and honour is far from over. There is also the real danger that their struggles will be hijacked by vested interests — as has happened in Tunisia where the trade unions have joined the regime and betrayed the masses — and people may be left out in the cold. It will depend on the sagacity and wisdom of these leaderless movements to stay in the field until they achieve total victory. That will not come about as long as the old state structures are intact regardless of the soothing words uttered by the ruling elite and the military to respect the wishes of the people.

If the people fail to heed this elementary lesson, they would find themselves in the same sorry state that the people of Pakistan are in today after 60 years of broken promises. The struggle and the sacrifices would then all be in vain.

The Role of Saudi Arabia in Islamic World - 2 (Lebanon)

The Land of Hijaz

The land on which the rulership of Aale Saud exists is the most esteemed and sacred region Allah (s) has selected Hijaz as the centre for entire humanity and for the leadership of Muslim nation. It has been established as the destination for revelations and descended his completed religion through his Last Prophet (s.a.w.s) here so that light of guidance can spread all over the earth and this land can terminate the darkness thereby giving light from the lamps of privilege and salvation. The dispersed, divided and separated groups and tribes were brought out from the oven of sectarianism and stitched by the string of Unity on this land. The barbaric and non religious world received the message of civilization from Hijaz.

The historic period of Hijaz prior to the advent of Islam is known as the era of ignorance. Allah (s) addressed the new Arab Muslims in his pure book and said that you should never return to your old state after the demise of Messenger (s.a.w.s) thereby returning to sectarianism instead of unity, hatred instead of love, war instead of peace, indiscipline instead of ethics, cowardliness instead of bravery, ignorance instead of foresightedness and slavery instead of freedom.

After the advent of Islam Allah (s) does not tolerate at all hypocrisy, bad manners, prejudice, sectarianism and hatred on the land of Hijaz. Bani Umayyah started the sacrilege of the sanctity of this land which was later continued by Bani Abbas and others. Aale Saud took the stampeding of the sanctity of this region to its peak. The role played by them after taking control of the centre and Qiblah of Muslims which is ongoing has even ashamed Bani Umayyah and Bani Abbas.

In the past issue of the magazine a brief analysis was done about the role of Saudi Arabia in Palestine. In this current issue we will throw light on the Role of Saudi Arabia in Lebanon.

Lebanon



One country impacted by this role is also Lebanon. Lebanon is considered today as an important country of Middle East and Arab states; and this country possesses a long history as well. Until 1920 it has been a part of Syria and during the period of Ottoman Caliphate it got the status of a separate country with the intervention of France. From this time till 1943 it has remained under the dominance of France. The effects left by the incidents of World War II on the world did not keep Lebanon also secure from its effects. Thus the defeat of France in the war gave a unique opportunity of freedom and liberation to the French subjugated nations. Lebanon and Syria formally announced their independence. The existing system of Lebanon and its structure got formed in that period and is still continuing till date.

The significance of Lebanon

In Middle East Lebanon has importance in several regards. In trading its historical significance from ancient times is an established affair. This country also has a unique significance of being a Market of Habash (Ethiopia). It also has a specific importance for being a Neighbor of occupied Palestine and usurping Zionist government.

The four geographical dimensions of Lebanon

Geographically Lebanon is located on the east of Mediterranean Sea. It has Syria on its north and east; occupied Palestine in its south and the Mediterranean Sea on its West. The southern part of Lebanon is really beautiful; its apple and olive farms carry international stature. It was this beauty which made it to be referred as Switzerland of Middle East at a certain time. In regards to population Lebanon is counted amongst the nations having a complex population distribution. A big majority in this country is that of Muslims and other second majority is that of Christians but the accursed imperialistic have made complicated this simple population distribution. They divided Muslims in Shia and Sunni; Christians divided into Protestants and Catholics and along with this Druze have been given a separate status. In this way as per the census in 1932 it was made a country with Christian majority. The census was not allowed to take place till date after 1932. In 1932 the census that took place under French Imperialism all Muslims did not participate in it. At that time it was made famous that this census is a conspiracy and participating in this would be equivalent to giving French occupation a legal status. As such the Muslims were already divided into Sunni and Shia hence by not participating in the census they got considered as minority which opened the doors for Christian dominance.

The complex Political Structure of Lebanon

With Western and specifically French intervention the agreed political structure was that the President will always be Christian, Prime Minister will be Sunni and the Parliament Speaker would be Shia. A resembling Imperialistic division similar to this has been seen in Iraq as well. Iraq which has complete Muslim population has been divided into Shia, Sunni and Kurds. The President would be Kurd, Prime Minister Shia and Parliament Speaker as Sunni.

The Purpose behind Imperialistic division

This type of division is liked by both Imperialism and Global arrogant powers because this keeps the internal conflicts always alive. The nation and people can never breathe in peace and the doors for foreign intervention are always open. The clouds of internal power games are always hovering and this is the reason that Lebanon has been influenced by Western culture more than Arab culture.

According to the 1932 census there are 40% Christians in Lebanon, 25% to 30% Shia, 20 to 25% Sunni, 5% Druze and 1.7 % other sects are settled. After liberation Muslims have been subjugated by Christian population. 1n 1975 a small incident in Lebanon triggered a fifteen years internal civil war. The Phalange group of Christians under the leadership of Bashir Gemayel disturbed the peace in Lebanon. This group spread over Lebanon with the help of West and France. In order to change the map of Beirut and to change the distribution of population the Phalange Militia turned to dust the Muslim settled area of Beirut and Lebanon became insecure for Muslims.

The 1979 success of Islamic Revolution in Iran left a big impact on Lebanon. The same Muslims who were fighting as paid soldiers of Phalange Army were now occupied in thoughts of their security against them. In southern region of Beirut of south Zahle few Shia youths together started resistance activities for defence against Israel. It should be remembered that Israel has captured Beirut with the support of Phalangists and it was only the Southern region of Beirut which was resisting. This group later became the foundation of Hizbullah. Hizbullah is a group impressed by Islamic Revolution and is also a supporter of Iran. In 1980 its foundation was laid formally and till date not just in half of Lebanon but also across the world it is a powerful non governmental group of Muslims. Hizbullah is the group of Shia Muslims.

The beginning of intervention by Aale Saud in Lebanon

The Sunni Muslims of Lebanon were previously impressed with the thoughts of Egypt and its Al Azhar University's visions but after the organization of Shia Muslim groups and their missionary operations Saudi Arabia gave special attention to Lebanon.

The Hariri family and Aale Saud


The well known Hariri family from Lebanon is the one associated with Saudi Arabia. The head of this family Bahuddin Rafiq Hariri whose title is Abu Bahaa is well known in the business and political world as Rafiq Hariri. Rafiq has a significant role in the current issues of Lebanon. After being associated with Arab Nationalist Movement during his academic career he also remained connected for a short period with Palestinian Popular Front. In the 70's Rafiq Hariri laid the foundation of a construction company in Lebanon which started to take construction contracts in Lebanon. This company earned good profit till 1975 and started establishing its branches in other Arab countries. In this process it established relationship with a globally famous construction group Bin Laden from Saudi Arabia. After civil war started in Lebanon Hariri group moved its assets to Saudi Arabia and declared this land as its business centre and head quarter. There were many construction projects in Saudi Arabia which got materialized with the partnership of Hariri and Bin Laden. This partnership started to move from business level to political and ideological level. Therefore during the period of civil war in Lebanon Hariri family enhanced abundant capital in Saudi Arabia and at the same time established political relationship also with Saudi government.

Ruins for the sake of Contract

It is said that Rafiq Hariri abundantly supported Phalange Militia during the Lebanon civil war. He wanted Lebanon and specifically Beirut to be completely destroyed in the civil war so that he can get all the reconstruction contracts at the end of war. In 1990 the civil war inside Lebanon came to an end and the first phase of Hariri's plan was accomplished. In the 80's the Saudi King appointed Hariri as his special representative in Lebanon so that the political role of Hariri can become firm and established inside Lebanon. Hariri was also financially supporting the confronting groups in Lebanon with the money earned from his partnership with Bin Laden.

As per the past Lebanese Ambassador to America Abdullah Abu Habib in 1987 Hariri presented 30 Million dollars to Lebanese President Amin Gamel for giving resignation. This is the period in which Lebanon was under control of Syrian forces. In order to get Syria in agreement with him Hariri presented 50 Million dollars to Syria.

From Contractor to Prime Minister



In 1979 for the sake of reconciliation between the confronting groups in Lebanon the Taif conference took place which is considered as an outcome of Hariri and Saudi alliance. Bin Laden and Hariri Company spent millions of dollars to turn this conference in their favour. In lieu of Syrian control over Lebanon Hariri was in need of Syria's support which came in his fate in Taif conference. In 1990 after the end of war Hariri made ways for his Prime Ministership by presenting an expensive palace in Beirut to Lebanese President Ilyas Heravi and at the same time along with Saudi support got complete control over media in Lebanon. Thus in 1992 with the agreement of Syria Rafiq Hariri got the post of Prime Minister in Lebanon and this way this Saudi representative became the owner of everything in Lebanon.

During this period Rafiq Hariri handed over his business and commercial leadership to Fouad Siniora and placed Saudi trained individuals from his business group on all governmental posts. After strengthening the political, commercial and business grip over Lebanon Hariri started to stare at Syria and made attempts to strengthen his grip over those sections that were working under Syrian intervention. Hariri got the contracts for reconstruction of ruined Beirut to his company. Hariri became the richest person of Lebanon by purchasing expensive property in Beirut and other properties in Lebanon. The glamorous palace of Ex Lebanese President Al Khouri was also purchased by Hariri and changed into Hariri TV Studio.

The unified wealth of Hariri and Bin Laden also started to demonstrate its effects outside Lebanon under the guidance of Saudi Arabia. By taking advantage of bribing nature and greed of Syrians for a long time Hariri kept them in agreement. The wealth of Hariri came to use even outside Arab nations in Western countries. An example of this is 5 billion Francs spent in the election of Jacques Chirac.

The Assets of Hariri

When Hariri was assassinated in a Bomb blast he left behind four sons and one daughter. His elder son Bahaa Hariri is counted amongst the world leading billionaires. The second son Saad Hariri also inherited politics along with wealth from his father. Saad Hariri is also listed at number 150 amongst the richest people of the world. His daughter Hind Hariri is youngest billionaire woman. There are billions of dollars even in the share of his wife. The abundant wealth of Hariri and Bin Laden has also shown colours in Pakistan which would be discussed later series of this article.

Hariri dependent on Aale Saud and Western Politics

When Rafiq Hariri realized his strength in accordance with Saudi interests he slowly took steps in opposition to Syria. Saudi Arabia is highly sensitive about Hizbullah in Lebanon. The Western lords of Saudi also dislike Hizbullah. Hence both together designated Hariri the task of opposing Hizbullah and disarming them to get control over Hizbullah. This was the first step of opposition against Syria by Hariri. A powerful media network has been already established across the country. Thus different TV channels and newspaper Al Mustaqbil openly started criticizing Hizbullah. Syria took notice of this seriously and warned Hariri to refrain from opposing Hizbullah. This time Hariri ignored Syrian threats and continued acting on Saudi instructions. Everyday the clashes between Hariri and Syria kept on increasing to the extent that Hariri demanded exit of Syrian forces from Lebanon. On the other hand his Western supporters specifically France and America enhanced Global pressure but despite of all these attempts Syrian control continued on Lebanon and no form of reduction was seen in Syrian effectiveness on Lebanon.

Four players Chess board and its pawn

Hariri was at a certain time acting as a pawn for the sake American, French, Israel and Saudi interests. On several occasions with the help of Saudi wealth he very easily succeeded in meeting their pre agreed objectives. But the last and the most important targets of making Syria exit from Lebanon and disarming Hizbullah was out of reach for Hariri. One part of these two major objectives which the life of Hariri could not achieve was accomplished by his death. Thus on 14th February 2005 Hariri was assassinated in a planned car bomb blast in Beirut. In the world of politics the politicians who are crazy for power and in pursuit of desire for coming into power take support from foreign powers thereby playing the role of pawns for them are always used in the same way (means wiped off when required). The goals and objectives of Foreign powers which he could not acquire with his life they accomplished it by his death; just like what happened with Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan. After the assassination of Hariri; France, America and Britain through United Nations increased pressure on Syria to move their forces out of Lebanon and this western initiative was fully supported by Arab nations. The Syrian government could not bear the pressure and seriously considered its refuge in exiting from Lebanon but Hizbullah continued as a Armed Militia thereby remaining as a piercing splinter in the eyes of America, Saudi and Israel.

The background of 33 days War


After Syria's exit from Lebanon doubting that Hizbullah has weakened; Israel with the support of Arab and Western background alliance attacked Lebanon in 2006 so that second conspiracy of Rafiq Hariri can also be accomplished. The enmity with Hizbullah has made Arab, West and Israel blind and deaf and they could not estimate Hizbullah's strength due to which first time in History Israel had to face defeat and its Arab and Western supporters could not even a find a place to hide their faces out of shame.

Islamic Revolution and the concerns of Arabs



As such all Arab rulers and specifically the ones dictated by Saudi had become alert after the success of Islamic Revolution in Iran. At the same time in order to defeat the Islamic Revolution they aroused Saddam to attack Iran in alliance with Western powers but they faced disgraceful defeat in this attack. The Arabs were scared of the effects of Iran inside their countries from this time itself. They did not leave any attempt or opportunity to do political and religious propaganda against Iran so as to create hatred towards Iran amongst Arabs. But despite of this the effects of Iran increased day by day amongst Shia Sunni's Muslims in Lebanon and specifically on Hizbullah which created panic amongst Arab rulers that too specifically Saudi rulers.

Iran Arab confrontation continued in every field and apart from Syria and Libya all other Arab nations have remained a victim of concerns about Iran. America and West made these Arab states more perplexed about Iran. Their discomfort and restlessness went to its peak when Iran favoured group Hamas in Palestine separated its path from other Palestinian groups and Arab countries thereby adopting Resistance and Perseverance as the path of salvation against Israel; and by winning the elections in Palestine they got their mettle proven and accepted. The success of Hizbullah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine made America, Israel, Western countries and Arab governments loose their sleep. From this time onwards pressure started to build up on Iran from all sides. Iran was being counted as supporter of terrorism on the basis of its support for Hizbullah and Hamas. There were restrictions and sanctions imposed on Iran, dreadful propaganda started on media, Iran Atomic plan was made controversial and in fact coalition plans were being made for armed attack on Iran. In all these acts Arab countries and specifically Saudi is in the forefront. The only condition for normalizing relationship with Iran was and is that the Islamic government of Iran should forsake their support for terrorist groups and what they intend from terrorist groups are the Muslims of Lebanon and Palestine specifically Hizbullah and Hamas.

The way common plans were made by America, Israel, West and Arab rulers for annihilation of Hamas the same plan was experimented for Hizbullah before. In the attacks on Gaza and Lebanon along with America and West the Arabs extended full economical, ammunition, political and intelligence support to Israel.

The Dramatic Role of Aale Saud after 9/11

Just like other Islamic world the role of Saudi Arabia in Lebanon became dramatic after 9/11 similar to America. The big Satan has always took full advantage after sniffing the weakness of Arabs. The feeble Arab rulers while delivering the rights of slavery towards America and West have broken the records of all slaves in history.

The actual weakness of Arab rulers



The actual weakness of Arab rulers and governments is that they are all non democratic, non republic , unlawful and incapable. America who has become standard bearer for name sake democracy across the world is in favour and supporter of all these non democratic governments. America is recovering the cost much more than the support it is providing them. The American Satans tactfully planned the story for the scenario of 9/11 drama. All the pawns involved in this were Arabs and the name sake leadership of these pawns was with Saudi citizens. When the names list of terrorists were announced after eight hours of attack in which all were Arabs were present than at that instance those possessing foresight understood this entire Film story.

When American Defence Ministry aircraft entered the boundaries of Khaleej and their fighter planes started to hover over Arab lands the telephone calls from American Foreign Minister started to ring in the Spider web type palaces of Arab rulers. When the merciless, dreadful and veiled agents of the American secret agency CIA were seen active in the Arab nations these puppet regimes were threatened for their survival.

The purpose of 9/11 drama

America has achieved many purposes out of 9/11 drama:

- Approach towards never diminishing energy resources in the worlds leading oil producing region.

- Invasion on Muslim nations for the sake of giving protection to Israel

- Transfer of jobless American forces posted in Europe after the cold war to Middle East.

- Encircling Iran

- Practical attempts for realization of long term American dream of ruling the world

In this dangerous game America kept two paths in front of many countries:

1. First option is to surrender in front of America, hand yourself complete to America and by accepting American Dictation take every step that America desires.

2. Second option is if you do not surrender than get counted amongst American enemies and opponents. And under this situation the non democratic governments of these nations would be obliterated and American favoured democratic governments would be established.

They will then be included amongst the list of nations violating human rights and pressure would be applied on them at international level thereby declaring them as supporters of terrorism and even armed attacks won't be ruled out. It is the same attitude and approach which America took against Iran and Syria for their non submission to American demands. The Arab nations and specifically Saudi Arabia cannot bear the second path hence they give preference to the first option as a result of which it became completely non authorative in front of America. Accepting American dictation has become the fundamental need for survival of power by Saudi rulers. This is the reason that Saudi stance for Lebanon is the same as that of America and Israel which is to eradicate Iran supportive Hizbullah at any cost. In order to achieve this purpose Saudi guides have crossed all political, ethical and religiously prohibited limits and have taken such steps which a Muslim cannot even think of doing.

Saudi Arabia's acts against Hizbullah

The Saudi Arabia rulers have taken numerous steps on the instructions of America and Israel for eradicating Hizbullah amongst which the important ones are:

1. Strengthening Hariri group in Lebanon

Aale Saud taking advantage of its long time business relationship with Hariri family used them as their operation tools in Lebanon. By getting Rafiq Hariri assassinated through Israel secret agency Mossad they got the sympathy of Lebanese people for Hariri family similar to the effects shown by the assassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan. Rafiq Hariri was murdered as part of American, Israel and Arab conspiracy so that the Hizbullah supportive Syrian forces could be removed from Lebanon thus the responsibility of this murder was put on Syria. Then with international pressure Syria was pursued to leave Lebanon and became happy after removing Hizbullah supportive forces that Hizbullah is now alone and isolated. And with absence of Syria Iranian aid and support was also difficult to reach Hizbullah.

After the assassination of Hariri with massive propaganda the responsibility of this murder was put on Syria and Hizbullah. After this immediately elections were arranged in which the Al Mustaqbil group achieved expected success. Under the leadership of Saad Hariri the government of the finance manager of Hariri company Fouad Siniora was established. This government was given an important agenda of disarming Hizbullah. Thus with the help of Arab and non Arab supporters the Siniora government applied all possible pressure to disarm Hizbullah but Hizbullah denied accepting this. This way the first step of Arab and non Arab alliance got defeated.

2. Israel's attack on Hizbullah



When the plan for disarming Hizbullah experienced defeat then the Arab and non Arab alliance took one more step and that was to arouse Israel to attack Hizbullah. Thus by estimating Hizbullah as alone and isolated Israel attacked Lebanon in 2006. This attack was not on Lebanon but in reality on Hizbullah. Israel started bombarding Hizbullah locations in extreme barbaric and beastly manner. Israel President Shimon Perez and other Israeli leaders explicitly said on media that this attack was done on invitation by Arab rulers. The entire world was aware that amongst the invitations from Arab world Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan were present. This statement of Zionists was not denied or rejected by any Arab government leader.

The role of Saudi Supportive Lebanese government in the 33 days war



Siniora government was the Saudi Arabia, West and American supportive government. Its cabinet completely supported Israel in this 33 days war. The defence minister of Siniora cabinet had continuous contact with the Israeli Generals during the entire war. These people would inform Israeli Air force about Hizbullah locations after which Israel would brutally bombard these locations due to which several women and children would get martyred. Southern Zahle; the populated locality of Beirut turned to ruins due to the cooperation of these guys. The Lebanese government espionage network was struggling day and night to find the secret location of Hizbullah leader Sayed Nasrallah and inform this to Israel. Four major residential buildings were destroyed based on their incorrect information.

Disposition of weapons to Israel

In the 33 days war America opened the doors of its stored Weapons depot in Arab states. The modern weapons which were purchased by Saudi Arabia from America; a part of that was also given to Israel. During the war fuel for Israeli aircrafts was transported from Saudi Arabia and Emirates.


The role of Bandar bin Sultan


Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz is a well known prince of Saudi Royal family. He has been the Saudi Ambassador in America for 22 years from 1983 to 2005. The relationships with Five American Presidents, ten American foreign ministers and dozens of CIA Chiefs with practical experiences has made this prince a very sharp conspiracy architect. During the period of George Bush Bandar Bin Sultan was taunted as being a part of American Cabinet. This level of proximity and approach to White house was never acquired by any non American other than this prince. At present he is counted as the strongest individual of Aale Saud and in fact his name has been voiced for Saudi kingship after Malik Abdullah.

He has been leading the Saudi National Security since 2005. All espionage organizations are running under his supervision. During his stay in American his leisure house in American state of Colorado was much bigger than White house. He is counted as a person with most extreme opinions about Iran, Hizbullah and Shia Muslims.

During the Israel Hizbullah war this prince has played significant role. He has been the part of planning attacks on Hizbullah by meeting Israeli secret agencies on several occasions on the Island of Qibris.

Fuelling Shia Sunni differences

The most painful wound in the Muslim nation is that of sectarianism though the Holy Quran has strictly emphasized the Muslim nations on refraining from sectarianism; the Holy Prophet has also emphasized and said to the Muslim nation for refraining and keeping away from Sectarianism and the intelligence also denies sectarianism. Sectarianism is the biggest activator for weakness of Muslim nation. The secret of success and victory lies under Unity and brotherhood.


The well known and eminent personalities from amongst Muslims Scholars have invited the Muslim nation (Ummah) towards unity. In the current era the greatest well wisher of Muslims Imam Khomeini (r.a) says that one who creates discords between Shia and Sunni is neither a Shia nor a Sunni.

The most effective weapon in the hands of enemies of Islam against Muslims is sectarianism. The enemies of Islam are everyday sharpening the dagger of sectarianism and stabbing in the back of Muslims. After the Salibi war the West and Christianity have taken severe revenge from Muslims by taking advantage from sectarianism. The ancient historic enemy of Muslims; the Jews and Zionists by taking advantage from sectarianism has captured the first Qiblah of Muslims. One billion plus Muslim population is weak and frustrated in front of handful of Muslims just because of their internal discords. Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan are burning in the fire of sectarianism. It is heart longing desire of America and Israel to spread the cancer of discord and sectarianism across the entire Islamic world and specifically they want to sow the seed of discord on those lands from where America and Israel is facing difficulties. At present the land of Lebanon is considered as the Global Islamic Front line against Zionists thus weakening this front line is the first priority for America and Zionists.

A grievous affair related to discords is that always ignorant, illiterate, foolish, selfish, power worshippers, fame desirous and lustful Muslims have been used. It is this sectarianism nurtured by these discord gardeners and religious traders sometimes in the form of rulers and sometimes as scholars that Muslims are today enemies of each other.

And it is very sad that from the land of revelations the rulers who are careless about their hereafter and the name sake scholars are in the forefront for fuelling the fire of discord across the Muslim world and in order to enhance the flames of this fire they do not refrain from taking any type of step. In just last twenty years millions of Muslims have been burnt in the hell of discord and sectarianism.

The example Shia Sunni unity in Lebanon has been ongoing since long and has earned fruitful results. In Lebanon the Shia Sunni Scholars and intellectuals are the ones who have maintained this unity amongst which the leaders of Hizbullah are on top of the list. Hizbullah has continuously foiled the conspiracies made for sectarianism. On multiple occasions Hizbullah has stepped back from their established rights for the sake of avoiding any clashes between the two major Muslim sects of Shias and Sunnis so that the Zionists do not benefit from this. Iran has also been a supporter of Shia Sunni unity and specifically in Lebanon where in this regard it has taken several practical steps as well.

Certain Arab states specifically Saudi Arabia on American dictations is busy in this heinous act of creating discord amongst Muslims. The most active person for fuelling Shia Sunni discord in Lebanon is Sheikh Salim Al Shahal who with the help of Saudi Arab religious groups has made an organization in Lebanon by the name Al Harqat Al Salafiyah whose centre is in Tripoli the southern city of Lebanon. The task of this group is to turn the direction of Sunni Muslims of Lebanon from Al Azhar in Egypt towards Saudi Arabia. From 1980 to 2005 this group has spread its roots across the Sunni dominant areas of Lebanon. In 2005 after the assassination of Rafiq Hariri this Saudi supportive religious group got connected with Saudi favoured political group of Hariri. Though the 14th March mission group or Al Mustaqbil group is secular whereas this religious group is extremist but still on the basis of certain commonalities a unique unity was established amongst them.

The reasons for this unity is common

- One is that the leadership of both these groups is with Saudi Arabia

- Second is that both are strong opponents of Hizbullah

- Third is the target for both of them is to eradicate Hizbullah

In order to achieve this purpose they have taken support from Shia Sunni discords in Lebanon. This is because Hizbullah is a Shia group and the Shia government of Iran is its supporter hence in order to reduce the admiration towards Hizbullah they want to spread discords with Shia thereby getting Hizbullah under this charter. Similarly there are many small and big groups who are occupied in spreading discord in Lebanon like "Asbat Al Ansar Al Islamia", the Jundal Sham group associated with Zarqawi and Fath-ul Islamia.

Saudi bribe to Lebanese Mufti


According to reliable sources Saudi Agencies have offered a bribe of 17 million dollars to Lebanese Mufti Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani and his successor for arousing Muslims against Hizbullah in Lebanon. On the second day of receiving the amount Waleed Jumblat and the Mufti issued a similar statement. Qabbani created this doubt amongst Sunni Muslims that the purpose of Hizbullah is to capture Beirut and Lebanon in order to convert Sunni's to Shia. Similar accusations and allegations were imposed on Hizbullah by Egyptian government and its leaders in reply to which Sayed Nasrallah said on a TV address that we do not want to make Sunni's as Shia but we want to defend the Sunni Muslims of Palestine.

The Saudi, media and their associated groups within Lebanon are continously occupied in transforming the opposition to Hariri group by Hizbullah and its allied groups into a religious and Shia Sunni affair. This is because Hizbullah is a Shia group whereas Hariri is a Sunni group and the entire world is well that that this is opposition is political and not religious.

The Infidelity declaring Mufti's Fatwa (verdict) of dissension.


The Saudi Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz in Riyadh issued an astonishing verdict (Fatwa) in history. This Mufti said that Hizbullah is responsible for all problems in Lebanon and this group has nothing to do with Islam and there is no difference between Hizbullah and Jews. He also said that Hizbullah is working for Jews and towards the end he supplicated that Allah should give refuge to us from this evil. This statement was delivered by him in Shariah-e-Islami Faculty of Mohammad bin Saud University in front of a big audience of teachers and faculty.

In the same way during the 33 days war of Hizbullah with Israel another Saudi Mufti Sheikh Abdullah bin Jibreen issued a verdict that Hizbullah is not Muslim and no support should be provided to them in the war and he even declared supplicating for victory of Hizbullah against Israel as forbidden.

Fath-ul-Islam

The disgraceful defeat of Israel by the hands of Hizbullah despaired a lot the Arab and Western supporters of Israel. In this 33 days war they ascertained that resistance against Israel that too specifically of Hizbullah cannot be easily annihilated. In this war the activities of Hizbullah astonished entire world whereas Israel, America, West and their Arab associates had to panic. In this panic they undertook one more awkward step so as to weaken Hizbullah.

This was the same accursed Satanic tactic by which this Satanic Triangle (Zionist, West and Arab government) has done open brutal killing of Muslims and has run streams of blood with the blood of innocent followers of the same Qiblah; i.e. Terrorism.

The expertise which this triangle has in terrorism no clue of this can be found in entire history. Every city, town, street and ally bears witness to this. This brutal weapon of Zionists, West and Arab alliance was also used in Lebanon.

In 2008 well known terrorist Shakir Al Isa laid the foundation of a terrorist organization in Tripoli, city of Lebanon on the pattern of Al Qaida. This group was named as Fath-ul-Islam. He is the same bloodthirsty beast who along with Abu Mussab Zarqawi made a group of Arab terrorists in 2003 in Iraq. This group shed the blood of thousands of Muslims, Women and Children in Iraq , did the sacrilege of sacred places and ruined them in bomb blasts; and have assassinated many religious and political personalities in Iraq. In 2006 Abu Mussab Al Zarqawi who belongs to Jordan got killed in an Arial attack but his other colleague Shakir Al Isa kept on easily doing his activities. He kept on moving freely between Iraq and Jordan. After conducting blood hounded operations in Iraq he would immediately go to Jordan and then again return to Iraq with the plan for another attack. He has maintained close relationship with American and Jordan forces.

In 2007 he got a new delegation and that was to weaken Hizbullah through terrorism similar to what he did in Iraq and specifically the Hizbullah leadership of Sayed Nasrallah should be made target. Therefore this Arab terrorist with his 140 trained terrorists moved to the city of Tripoli in Lebanon. He established his den in the Palestinian immigrant camp Nihar Al Badr.

After the 33 days war not just Hizbullah achieved victory but instead the acceptance of Hizbullah and its leadership of Sayed Nasrallah increased significantly across the Islamic world. The Arab Sunni Muslims started to openly express their sympathy towards Hizbullah and took out many processions in support of Hizbullah.

This acceptance could not be tolerated by Arab rulers at all because they could see everything of theirs getting destroyed. Thus they whole heartedly started to strengthen the Fath-ul-Islam group of Shakir Al Isa. The Saudi Salafis capitalists transferred a lot of money to Fath-ul-Islam through American banks. Within a year they adorned themselves completely with all modern weapons and means of warfare. In August 2008 in order to express their existence they aggressively attacked the Lebanese forces appointed for security in the Palestinian camp which resulted into increased anxiety in the internal environment and also at international level. Saad Hariri with guidance from Saudi Arabia was deputed to support this group financially. He got into a difficult and perplexed state since he was holding the reigns of Lebanese government in his hands. Anyhow Lebanese forces with internal and external pressure carried out a military operation against this group as a result of which many of Isa's effective terrorists were killed.

With the support of Fath-ul-Islam and many other similar groups by using Terrorism engaging Hizbullah in internal issues was the main purpose so that the danger of Hizbullah can get off the heads of Israelis and also the degrading status of Arab rulers due to Hizbullah can be preserved. But the foresighted leadership of Hizbullah once again foiled the evil conspiracy of this Satanic triangle.

The Martyrdom of Hizbullah think tank "Haji Rizwan"

On 12th February 2008 the news agencies and TV Channels stopped their routine programs and broadcasted a news which could be named as an Atomic news explosion.

The news was that in Damascus, the capital of Syria an important commander of Hizbullah Emad Mughniya was assassinated. Though the people in the world were not familiar with the name of Emad Mughniya but all the enemy forces of Islam i.e. the Zionists, Israeli forces, American CIA and their Arab partners were very well versed with this name. This is the reason that this news was most pleasing for them.


Emad Mughniya known amongst his friends as Haji Rizwan was a symbol of fear and terror for Israeli forces. America has announced 25 million dollars for his arrest. The war analysts have a unified opinion that in the 33 days war success of Hizbullah against Israel the central role was played by this great commander. In war strategies Haji Rizwan was an incomparable brain. This is the reason that Israeli Secret Agency Mossad, American CIA, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arab Intelligence was in pursuit of Haji Rizwan on daily basis.


According to the search report by the investigating agencies of Syria in this cruelty there were hands of Mossad, CIA, Jordan and Saudi Arab secret agencies. In this operation the key role after Mossad has been played by Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan. The involvement of Saudi Secret Agency in the martyrdom of Haji Rizwan has many evidences present. The dramatic exit of Saudi Ambassador Abdul Aziz Al Khwaj from Beirut immediately after this martyrdom, fleeing of a senior office of Saudi Embassy in Damascus who was involved in this assassination , pressure applied by Saudi government on Syrian government to stop investigations on this case, offer of several benefits to Syrian government for removing the name of Saudi in the investigation phases are all the proofs expressed by Saudi themselves. On top of all this the senior Saudi Embassy officer who ran away from Damascus was once again brought back to Damascus by a trap laid by Syrian secret agencies. He had an affair with a Damascus woman through her he was brought back to Damascus. The car which was used for the blast was registered in the name of this woman. After purchasing this car the Saudi Embassy officer gave this car to specific persons to place explosives inside it. When the explosives were filled in the car it was placed outside the house of Haji in the car parking. This Saudi officer is imprisoned in one of the prisons of Damascus and Saudi government has done everything possible for his release. The current delighted relationship between Syria and Saudi indicates that he may have been released.

The alternative for Hizbullah

There is one more interesting step taken for weakening and eradicating Hizbullah amongst the conspiracies of Zionists, West and Arabs. This step was creation of an organization of Shia's resembling Hizbullah whose leader is one Shia scholar Sayed Mohammed Ali Al Hussaini. This group has been made solely by Saudi wealth and all forms of support has been extended by Saudi government specifically media needs. Saudi media is introducing this group as a moderate Shia group whereas Hizbullah has been declared as an extremist group. The purpose of this propagation is to make the Lebanese people that too specifically Shia Muslims frustrated from Hizbullah thereby presenting this group as successor to Hizbullah.


Under the leadership of Al Hussaini this Saudi supported group which is an alternate to Hizbullah is named as "Al Moqawamat Al Islamia al Arabia" and its political party is named as "Al Majlis Al Islami Al Arabia". Their leader in an interview has emphasized that our purpose is to defend Arabism instead of Islam.

He also says that our purpose is to cleanse the control of Hizbullah over Resistance (Moqawamat) and involve all other groups in it. He also said in the interview that our strength is much more than Hizbullah and we will demonstrate it when time comes. According to Al Hussaini one other purpose is to keep Iran's interference away from Arab issues. While speaking in the language and tone of Saudi media he also said that the cause for all the problems in Lebanon is Iran. Apart from this he also mentioned that this group has such long range missiles which can even go beyond Israel; what he intends and refers could be Iran.

The leader of "Al Moqawamat Al Islamia al Arabia" Sayed Mohammed Ali Al Hussaini has taken some practical steps also apart from these claims. These steps include issuing newspaper statements on various events, sending commendations and condolence cards, dinner meetings in Beirut with various Arab ambassadors; it is just like some Allama's are busy in doing the same in Pakistan.

Media Propaganda

The role of Media is foremost in all the ongoing issues in the world. The power of media is more than the power of military and weapons. Today those who possess atomic weapons are not considered as super power but instead those who can play a decisive role by having a powerful media are the super powers. Establishing governments, bringing down governments, transfer of power, raising economic crisis, defeating opposing nations are all done with the weapon of media.

A big source of interfering in other countries is media. The interesting games of media are to create an environment of fear and terror, making terrorists as hero and doing character assassination of heroes. The West specifically America with the help of media in order to gain control over the world has created chaos across the globe. This power (of media) which was kept under limits for a certain period is now nested across all lands. In this field there are two primary means of communication; one is Print Media and second is Electronic Media. The reigns of religion, economic, culture, civilization, living needs, technology and public communication are all in the hands of these two means. Corruption, transgression, nudity, indecency and immodesty have all reached every home through media only. Those countries which are downtrodden in context of education and technology there also the market of modern media is glamorous. Those who do not possess power to make an ordinary Radio are today the owners of Universal Satellite Channels.


The maximum impact of media on two areas is worth witnessing; one is culture and second politics. These Arab nations have been spectators of indecency on Western Channels since long. When they were completely drowned in indecencies, lavishness and corruption then the Western guides made them owners of different Electronic channels so that they can play the role of local soldiers in the ongoing Media war of America and Zionists against Islam and Muslim world.

In this regards first was the launch of Al Jazeera TV Channel from Qatar. After the successful operation of Al Jazeera several other Arab Channels were launched one after another amongst which the Saudi Arab TV Channel Al Arabia is quite famous. Al Jazeera is playing the role of spokesperson for Al Qaida since several years. The videos of Bin Laden and his supporters are broadcasted from Al Jazeera every other day. He is the same Bin laden for whose eradication America destroyed entire Afghanistan and still who is not coming in the hands of NATO forces but is met by Al Jazeera news reporters every other day. In Iraq and Lebanon it has left behind BBC, CNN, Fox news and VOA channels. After Al Jazeera the Saudi Channel Al Arabic broke the records of Al Jazeera. This channel which is associated with the Saudi Royal family is openly supporting the interests of America and Zionists to such an extent that the leader of Resistance Sayed Nasrallah has named this channel as " Al Abriya" instead of Al Arabia. This channel which is spokesperson of American and Zionists propaganda in Lebanon and Iraq is fuelling the fire of sectarianism. The verdicts (fatwa's) of infidelity by prejudicial, narrow minded, courtyard Mullah's are issued from this channel. Its main purpose is to enhance the sectarian conflict between Shia and Sunni's. This Royal channel is busy in convincing its Arab audience that the actual enemy of Arabs is not Israel but Shia's. One more purpose of this channel is to give protection to the non democratic governments in Arab states and to prove that if Hizbullah delivers a strong and successful character in Lebanon than Arab people will have to see a new Islamic model. For this reason the purpose of this Royal channel established with Millions of dollar is to keep Arab people away from Hizbullah. By taking advantage from absurd and disgraced tactics this channel is sowing the seed of hatred amongst Muslims. When someone watches first time programs related to Lebanon on this channel he is forced to think whether this channel is Zionist Channel or Saudi because its tone and accent regarding Hizbullah Resistance is same as that of Zionists.

The role of Aale Saud in recent Lebanon elections



As it was indicated in the beginning of this write up that the population distribution of Lebanon has made its political situation very complex. The expanse of foreign doors of intervention in Lebanon cannot be found to this extent in any other nation. The nations that are effective today in the Lebanese politics are America, France, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iran on top of the list. Apart from these as well some other nations also have an effective role in Lebanese politics but the decision making role is that of these above mentioned five nations.

It should be clear that all these nations are not having the same role in Lebanon instead they all have a specific and different role. Since in this article we are not discussing about role of other nations and only limiting to the role of Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi government is involved in Lebanese politics in several regards and in fact the shadow of Saudi Arabia on Lebanon politics is having the maximum cover. In order to make 14th March Forum Aale Saud has pumped in abundant money. This Alliance came into existence in 2005 after the assassination of Rafiq Hariri with the support of America and Saudi Arabia. Its leadership is in the hands of Saad Hariri , Samir Jejo and Walid Jumblat. It has major minor Sunni, Christian and Druze groups like the Progressive Socialist Party, Lebanese forces, Phalangist Kateeb Party , National Liberal Party, Independence movement, Tripoli block, Democratic Renewal, Left Democratic Party, Armenian Liberal, Social Democratic Party, National Lebanese Block, Free Shia Movement are all remembered as 14 March Alliance.

In 2005 elections the above mentioned alliance got majority and established their government. It became successful by winning 72 seats out of 128. The environment that got created after the assassination of Rafiq Hariri in 2005 and slogans of exit of Syrian forces played a significant role in getting them victory in the that election but the situation changed completely in 2009. The success of Hizbullah in the 33 days war, the treachery of government in this and the internal rifts within country weakened the position of this alliance. The analysts keeping an eye on the situation of Lebanon had a unanimous opinion that 8th March Alliance formed under the leadership of Hizbullah will win this election with clear majority. The increasing popularity of Hizbullah and the enhanced orientation of Lebanese people towards Hizbullah is an evidence to this point. The leadership of Hizbullah just like other political analysts were certain about their victory. The highly confidential speeches of Sayed Nasrallah was demonstrating the same thing but the elections results astonished Lebanese politicians and the entire world include Lebanese people.

This time also against expectations 14th March Alliance was successful. Even though this success came with a very narrow majority margin but there were many elements involved in this success amongst which the biggest was the unlimited wealth of Saudi Arabia. All the members in the alliance were given the money they asked for; centres were setup in Lebanon for buying votes, several dollars were given for just one one vote. The famous American magazine Newsweek released an article by Christopher Deki about Lebanese elections which highlighted the effective elements on election. According to Christopher Deki the money spent by Saudi on Lebanon election campaign was more than the money spent in the American elections campaigns where Obama was elected. It should be remembered that in American history maximum money in election campaigns has been spent on Barrack Obama. According to Christopher Deki Saudi has spent 715 Million dollars.

According to Iraqi newspaper "Al Bayyanah Al Jadeedah" Saudi Arab has spent 2 billion dollars to achieve its objective in the Lebanon election. The Saudi rulers have not kept this royal spending of theirs concealed but instead have accepted this as welfare aid for Lebanese people. During the election it was a general announcement made that anyone who casts vote against Hizbullah will be given an agreed amount. The United Arab Emirates also participated in this good deed whole heartedly.

The leader of Hizbullah Sayed Nasrallah has always extended unity and brotherly hands towards Arab states and specifically Saudi Arabia. In one of his speeches complaining on Arab rulers he said that we are defenders of your dignity and stature, we are not against any Islamic or Arab country, we are not thinking of bringing down any Arab state. The common enmity of Islam, Muslims and Arabs is against Zionism and as per principles you should be supporting us and if you cannot do this then at least do not oppose us; do not weaken the Resistance, do not end the existing Islamic brotherhood in Lebanon and this would be the biggest help from you.

There is hope that may be this appeal of Sayed Nasrallah, the leader of resistance will soften the hearts of Arab leaders.

It is our supplication to Allah (s) that may the land of Hijaz spread the message of unity, brotherhood and love.
