Saudi Belief in Quran Is a Façade


 
By: Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer
 
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says incompetent Saudi rulers believe in the Quran only in appearance but act in contravention of its teachings.
In his words, "Unfortunately today, the Islamic society, like other societies, has faced problems and the fate of some Islamic societies is in the hands of incompetent individuals like those in the Saudi government. These individuals believe in the Quran in appearance and even print millions of copies of the Quran but they are in practice intimate with infidels contrary to Quran’s stipulations.”
Ayatollah Khamenei couldn’t be more accurate:
-Quran doesn’t teach Muslims to murder other Muslims or other people of faiths in cold blood. The Saudi clerics and officials do. They even hire terrorists to do the job for them in places like Yemen, Bahrain and Syria.
-Saudi clerics have explicitly declared they will stand by and support the war on Syria. Despite the silly rhetoric of "Iran threat,” their campaign called ‘give all moral, material, political and military’ support to the war and the terrorists whatever slogans they use, has nothing in common with Islam or the war on terror.
-Saudi clerics refer to the terrorists committing crimes against humanity as the "holy warriors” who are "defending” Syria. They call for trusting them "because if they are defeated it will be the turn of one Sunni country after another.” This is absurd. Religious leaders in the Muslim world and beyond have declared that ISIL and its violent ideology has nothing to do with Islam.
-Saudi clerics claim the Russian alliance with Iran is making a real war against Sunnis. Using the sectarian terms in the same way as the Takfiri group does in referring to Iranians and Alawites, is a clear indication that the Takfiris and the Saudis seek to fuel sectarian violence.
-The protests in Bahrain by the Shia majority is a consequence of years of negligence and repression by the Saudi-backed despotic regime. Shias do not feel wanted or part of what is happening there. Bahrain cannot sweep this irrefutable fact under the carpet by expelling Iranian diplomats or accusing Tehran of shipping arms to foment sectarian strife in the tiny sheikhdom.
-Sectarianism is the bread and butter of Salafists and Wahhabis in Saudi Arabia. Silly calls for "retaliation” against Shias by hardline Saudi clerics plus mainstream extremist groups should be seen within this context. 
-Saudi Arabia and its Persian Gulf allies are as eager as ever to stoke the fires, escalate power struggle, and mobilize followers using implicit sectarian appeals to attack Shia mosques. They are now engaged in armed conflicts and terrorism to aggravate religious differences in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.
-The Saudis are transforming political conflicts into religious struggles and making the bloodshed in the region harder to contain. The pro-Saudi political dynamics in the region has failed. They want to avoid further failure and humiliation. They are deliberately targeting Yemeni civilians in airstrikes to foment sectarian violence, and their irresponsible Western allies allow it to happen, because:
 -The United States, international Zionism, and Saudi-led Wahhabi Takfiri camp have created a poisonous media empire to back the anti-Iran campaign, while tearing the Muslim world apart and portraying a cruel image of Islam. They spread religious, racial, and sectarian hatred, even sponsoring Western mercenaries to run abusive satellite channels in Europe and the United States. 
All this and more speaks of nothing but despair in Riyadh and the fact that their belief in Quran is a façade. The U.S.-led war on Syria and Yemen is the main culprit for the perils of sectarian polarization here. But in recent years this has been reinforced by the Saudi-led camp which has ratcheted up the latest violent turn. The regime changers have framed all this mess to beat back the regional influence of Iran. Suffice it to say, they never bother to follow what Quran teaches us in these difficult times.
