How Shiite Islam Sees Saudi Arabia and Why We Need to Take Notice

Iranian leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, is furious at Saudi Arabia's execution of that country's top Shiite cleric, Nimr al-Nimr. Khamenei wasted no time posting this image to his web page.


Amnesty International denounced Sheikh Nimr's trial as "political and grossly unfair."

Some have warned that the Saudis are on the brink of a theological civil war pitting the larger and far stronger Sunni states against the Shiites.  The Sydney Morning Herald foreign editor, Maher Mughrabi, writes that the West may find itself dragged into the violence.

"For Shiites around the world, Nimr is the latest in a long line of martyrs at the hands of tyrannical rulers. They will recall the proverbial utterance of their inspiration, the Prophet Muhammad's son-in-law Ali bin Abi Talib, that "the day of the oppressed over the oppressor is more severe than the day of the oppressor over the oppressed".

"In Egypt, the Arab Spring brought democratic elections and the downfall of long-serving dictator Hosni Mubarak. The Saudis were amazed and appalled when their allies in Washington proved unwilling to back Mr Mubarak to the hilt. They were even more horrified when the Obama White House pursued dialogue and a deal with Iran over its nuclear program.

"The Saudi response has been to freelance a new, far more aggressive policy across the region, leading a coalition to invade and bombard Yemen and bankrolling the return of military rule in Egypt, which is now effectively a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saudi Arabia."

"The president who won Egypt's democratic elections - Mohamed Morsi - also waits in jail under a sentence of death, along with many other leaders of the now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. The execution of Nimr surely brings the clock closer to midnight for all of those men, with potentially dire consequences for Egyptian society.

"The voices of all those in the Middle East who argue for a civic space that allows opposition voices and demands accountability from rulers have been weakened by this draconian act.

"More worryingly, the voices of those who argue that the sword of the state only understands one language - that fire can only be fought with fire - have been strengthened, making bloodshed and violence more likely not only for Saudi Arabia and its interests around the world but for all those who are allies and business partners of the House of Saud. And that could mean many Western countries."

"Whether we like it or not, the bell that tolled for Nimr Baqir al-Nimr tolls loudly for all of us. We cannot afford to let it pass unheeded."

Mound, very enlightening post. It was bad enough that W. Bush invaded Iraq, brought down a Sunni president replacing him with Shiit Government which resulted in the formation of Sunni ISIS.Saddam was a brutal dictator but there was relative peace. Now Saudis are acting up. They're supposed to be the friends of U.S but quietly they are funding ISIS.

Now executing Shiit clerks is going to aggravate the problem. Middle East is already in a mess and this will add oil to already burning fire.

Along with everything else we can't afford to let pass unheeded yet somehow manage to let pass unheeded.

Sounds like a plan...

Of course the big difference between ISIS and the Saudis is marketing.

ISIS sends out pics and videos of their atrocities whereas the Saudi's restrict any publication of their 's which is why the citizens of the West can be easily motivated to decry ISIS and not the Saudis.

The big news I see on various sites is ISIS Kills 5, but little mention of what's happening in Saudi Arabia....

a while and i applied through a few people but i was scammed, not until i found Mr George who saved me from scammers, i got my blank ATM card in 5 days after application and tried the encrypted card in an ATM machine and pos cash store to my greatest surprise i was able to withdraw €3000 and that was the daily rate i applied for in total i have made a withdrawal of €30000. to be honest there is no risk involved the card is not traceable and has an infrared signal that blocks off CCTV during your withdrawals. i just payed my daughters tuition fee and cleared my mortgage debts, i am also richer and started a business that is doing fine. Mr George is really a life saver and he is very genuine. You can contact him with this email address: blankatm402@gmail.com
