Rabi' al-Awwal 12, 14392017-12-01

After spreading the poisonous ideology of Wahhabism for decades that has spawned such monsters as the takfiris, the Bani Saud now claim they want to follow “moderate” Islam. Really?

Bin Salman’s Crude Antics

Mamoun Khalid

Rabi' al-Awwal 12, 14392017-12-01

Bani Saud’s actions are totally bizarre. From mass arrests of leading figures in the Kingdom to threats against Islamic Iran and Hizbullah, they clearly show that Muhammad bin Salman has lost his marbles. This would be laughable but for the fact that these moves affect people not only in the region but also beyond it.

Fear in Saudi Arabia

Mohammed H. Siddiq

Safar 12, 14392017-11-01

The people of Arabia are governed by fear, a dull fear that seeps into every crack and crevice of daily life and makes one think twice about saying or doing anything to overturn the bad situation. One wrong move and one could end up in prison or worse.

Saudis now want to follow ‘moderate’ Islam: really?

Crescent International

Safar 05, 14392017-10-25

Suppose a Dalmatian (a dog breed, in case there is some confusion!) says it wants to get rid of its spots. Suppose further, that a scorpion says it would no longer sting. How much credibility should one give to these claims? Something similar has happened in “Saudi” Arabia where the Crown Prince, Muhammad bin Salman announced yesterday that “We are returning to what we were before—a country of ‘moderate’ Islam that is open to all religions and to the world.”

In one of the most bizarre statements to come out of the court clerics of Saudi Arabia, Abdul Rahman al-Sudais said American and Saudi rulers were the pillars of stability and peace in the world. What planet does Sudais live on?

People, not Bani Saud

Ahmed Abdel Kadir

Muharram 11, 14392017-10-01

The people of Saudi Arabia are not sheep and Bani Saud should stop treating them as such.

When committed Muslims call for implementing the Qur’anic obligation of declaring bara’ah min al mushrikeen (Al-Qur’an - 9:03) at the time of Hajj, the Bani Saud allege this is ‘politicizing’ Hajj. Isn’t preventing hujjaj from countries that the Saudis have conflict with, politicizing Hajj?

Hajj is an obligation ordained by Allah (swt) for all Muslims. By imposing visas, quotas and other restrictions, the Bani Saud have usurped Allah’s authority. This is shirk.
