and the point is......
These
days the Saudis have decided to create an international tam tam...
apparently to cause what has been observed in the last weeks as an
escalation of hostilities that started with a calculated execution of
a Cleric who happened to have had the same Islamic faith as the
Iranian leaders and nation then having its Wahhabi-Baluchi agents (39
arrested of which at least 10 were none Shia elements) to attack its
Tehran embassy with Molotov cocktails (Embassy had been evacuated
prior to the execution, so it is safe to say the attack was
expected...) all in order to kick start a roulette of ambassadors of
a bunch of tribal kingdoms and dictatorships leaving Tehran......
which by all respect to their citizens happen to be politically
minimal and truly irrelevant... since Iran knows how to deal with
such games, as seen a half dozen times with other much more relevant
countries... But why on earth are the Saudis so irrationally pounding
sand ?
May
be it is the realization that the Syrian war is not resulting as the
Saudis wanted and invested so heavily in, or in Yemen the Houties
prove to be more resilient than anticipated, or could it be that the
Bahrain people simply wont accept a minority King with a British
Passport... or could it be that in Iraq the ISIS is losing turf on a
daily basis … ironically as Iranians see US hands in everything
negative happening in the region...the Paranoid Saudis see Iran's
hand everywhere and behind every development.
Every
one talks of a Shia / Sunni conflict here.. but important is to
differentiate who the Saudis actually are... they are not and I
repeat NOT just Sunnis.... the Turks are Sunnis.. the Jordanians are
Sunnis...Egyptians are Sunnis.. but the Saudis practice a certain
sect of this Sunni part of Islam called WAHABISM.. And this factor
must not be overseen.
To
understand how the Saudis became this ultraconservative and almost
fanatically puritan country, we must dig out a little bit of their
history... not much but a couple of hundred years.... This peninsula
was first unified by an 18th-century alliance between the AL-Saudi
tribe and the followers of a puritanical fundamentalist named
Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab. The Saudi tribe wanted to rule the
peninsula and unify the area we now call Saudi Arabia, and Wahhab the
fundamentalist wanted to spread his ultra-austere and anti-modern
brand of Islam, known today as Wahhabism. It almost worked but due to
social and political issues and not to forget the Ottoman Turks the
plan collapsed in 1818, but it formed again after the Turks were
driven out by the Brits and in the 1920s in much the same way, the
Al Saudi tribe with the backing of the Wahhabi sect now called the
“Brotherhood” took over the peninsula and established a country
with the blessing of UK and USA... It is now called Saudi Arabia,
they named their country after their own tribe and family.
Since then, the Saudi tribe has ruled in an implicit bargain with the
hard-line Islamists who helped them rise... The Saudi tribe rules,
and the “brotherhood” would have a state officially aligned to
the Wahhabi interpretation of Islam. At this point the rulers don't
need the Wahhabi clergies to conquer other tribes any more, but they
are provided with an ideological base that helps them put down any
rebellion in the name of this specific form of zero tolerance
religion for any form of deviations... furthermore, they refuse to
have any written constitution, thus leaving the laws of its entity to
daily interpretations that fits to what is needed.. be it right or
wrong.
Throughout
Saudi Arabians short history, you can see the Al Saudi family
balancing between the need to be part of the ever progressing world
and the necessity to satisfy and pacify the Wahhabi hard-liners.
They lift restrictions on women today and then clamp down the next.
This is why they fund extremists even though these extremists
attack their own business partners. It's why they seek close ties
with the United States yet spread an official Wahhabi ideology that
often portrays the Americans as enemies of Islam.
This
Wahhabi sect of Sunni Islam in Saudi Arabia is the lone guardian,
financier and promoter of what is known as the 21st
century terrorism.. starting with 9/11 right up to today... they are
responsible for them all..... However the US statesmen and their
allies of the West, wantonly and knowingly chase the terrorist in
every other place and country but where the money and manpower comes
from.. They invade and obliterate infrastructures of almost every
stable and strong laistic and none religious Government in the Middle
East, not to mention the inhuman and cowardly sanctions upon
countries that actually fight and oppose these Wahhabi monsters and
terrorists (Iran).... for every Wahhabi terror act, the US statesmen
hangs sanctions upon the enemies of Wahhabi's and yet refuse to even
criticize the very country responsible for all the miseries and wars
of our time. Is it not time to ask Why ?
