Yusuf Dhia-Allah

Rabi' al-Thani 13, 14392018-01-01

In the Banu Saud’s ongoing circus about succession, crown prince Muhammad bin Salman had lured other princes to the Ritz Carlton Hotel for dinner and then promptly arrested them. Who would want to believe this blighter in future?

Tariq Akhtar

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

Muhammad bin Salman’s wholesale arrest of fellow princes and prominent businessmen has two specific objectives: to eliminate all potential rivals from his power grab as well as the grand larceny of their wealth. He may have created too many enemies.

Yusuf Dhia-Allah

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?

Saudi War Crimes in Yemen

Editor

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

The vicious war the Najdi Bedouins launched in March 2015 has taken a heavy toll of Yemen’s civilian populations. There are increasing calls even from within the UN for war crimes charges against those responsible in the medieval kingdom.

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.

Bin Salman in greatest power-grab gamble

Crescent International

Safar 15, 14392017-11-04

The greatest hurdle in the way of Muhammad bin Salman to become king is Moteib bin Abdullah, head of the National Guard. In a new twist, King Salman created on November 04 a new committee charged with fighting ‘corruption’ in the kingdom.

Illusion: Dust the devil throws in the eyes of the foolish

Abu Dharr

Safar 12, 14392017-11-01

Consumed by hatred of Islamic Iran and its allies in the resistance front, the Arabian rulers are not only spending billions of dollars purchasing weapons but have also fallen into the eager arms of the Zionists.

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.”

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. There are good and bad people in Saudi Arabia, as everywhere else, but it has now become crystal clear that the vast majority of people in the Arabian Peninsula are fed up with the excesses and treachery of Bani Saud.

All are not saints that go to church!

Abu Dharr

Dhu al-Hijjah 10, 14382017-09-01

Sayid Muqtada al Sadr’s visit at the end of July to meet Saudi crown prince Muhammad bin Salman raised more than eyebrows. What was a respected Shi‘i alim doing sipping coffee with the virulently anti-Shi‘i Wahhabis?

Baby-faced al-Jubeir to get the boot as Saudi foreign minister?

Crescent International

Dhu al-Hijjah 03, 14382017-08-25

Has Saudi crown prince Muhammad bin Salman finally realized that his policies have failed? He has suffered defeat at every turn except perhaps in engineering the ouster of his cousin and former crown prince Muhammad bin Nayef who is currently under house arrest.

Opinion

Bin Salman’s rise (and anticipated fall!)

Zafar Bangash

Shawwal 07, 14382017-07-01

With one-foot in the grave King Salman has made his son Mohammed bin Salman the crown prince and wants to make him king but the loyalty of other princes is not guaranteed.

Opinion

When two quarrel, both are in the wrong

Abu Dharr

Shawwal 07, 14382017-07-01

The Saudis first launched their sectarian crusade against the Islamic Republic of Iran, now they have gone after Qatar, a fellow Wahhabi bastion. Their quarrel is pathetic and childish and aims to protect Zionist Israel.

The fickle Arabian rulers are at each other’s throats again. They are worse than children as shown by the pathetic spat between Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
