They got a black face to discriminate against the Shiite people, so sick. I guess the KSA thinks if they are open to having a black man as a representative for this counsil then eradicates the sectarian sentiments! This is all jealousy of Nasrallah giving a good beating to the Israelis and to Ahmadinejad because he is not afraid like the American supported regimes to open his mouth and speak. And greed that they want to limit the rights of the Shiites in KSA because they are sitting on oil. And of course due to there mental delayment which causes there Wahhabi sectarian nature!
All Shiite clerics are heretics!
"I think Shiite clerics are heretics," Sheikh Kalbani said Monday on the BBC Arabic satellite new channel.
"As for expiating Shiites, we could possibly discuss it," said Sheikh Kalbani, who was appointed by King Abdullah last September as the imam of the Mosque of the first shrine of Islam, to which flock over two million Muslim pilgrims of all faiths every year.
Too many rights!"As for expiating Shiites, we could possibly discuss it," said Sheikh Kalbani, who was appointed by King Abdullah last September as the imam of the Mosque of the first shrine of Islam, to which flock over two million Muslim pilgrims of all faiths every year.
Saudi Shiites make up between 5% to 10%, according to unofficial estimates, while Shiites writers claim they represent between 15% to 20% of the Saudi population which is estimated at 18 million. They are concentrated mainly in the oil-rich Eastern Province adjoining Kuwait and southern Iraq.
Shiites claim they suffer discrimination, particularly being banned from holding key positions in military, diplomacy and security and from exercising their religious rites and cultural activities.
But the Saudi government, dominated by Wahhabism-inspired Sunnis, insists Shiites have all their rights.
"They have more than their rights," said Sheikh Kalbani.
<span style="font-size: 20px;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: arial;">Do you know what bothers me more than this Wahhabi Sheikh calling Shia heretics, which is to be expected, is when he was asked about his postiion on freedom of worship in the kingdom. I found his response to be extremely arrogant and ignorant. I personally do not believe that the Prophet of Islam said: 'Expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula..”.</span></span>
ReplyDeleteIt was after the Prophet died that this hadith was written and he never expelled Jews or Christians unless they were causing fitne and wars with the Muslims...
BUt than this Shiekh proceeds to contradict himself and make himself look like the idiot he is by claiming:
<span style="font-size: 20px;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: arial;">"....But their expulsion is up to the rulers and their stay (in the Saudi territory) is dependent on the extreme need of the country for their services,” .</span></span>
Apparently the corruption of the Saudi rulers and their collaberation with non-Muslims against Muslims doesn't matter. If they need non-Muslims, they can use them to help build up and help run their country because they are too lazy and stupid to do it for themselves...

Okay, this guy has to say this stuff, he's in the govt.'s employ. But how many Saudis believe it?
ReplyDeleteThey should remove the ani from the end of his name.
ReplyDeleteMarion all that the man had to say was offensive......
ReplyDeleteIts hard to pick and choose

Yes they can use the foreign workers like that. And I guess they use the same logic to explain there collaborations with the zionists to.
Molly I make distinctions against the Wahabbis and the Regular Saudi people.
ReplyDeleteWhy not just remove his name
ReplyDeleteThe correct Eenglish transliteration for this fellow's name is Qalbani. Not that there isn't a dog in there mind you!

That would've being his original name.
My guess is the ani was added at the madrassa when he was a kid.
My guess is that most Saudis don't but into this crap that these Sheikhs spew Molly...But the problem is that when the news picks up on this kind of crap, much of the world tends to thnk that Saudis do believe what this Sheikh claims...
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you guys, my husband has been applying in the Arab world for a teaching position at a university as a Professor becausew his job here is no longer secure, he couls lose it any day. He was offered one in Saudi and he wants to accept it because unfortunately he hasn't been offered one anywhere else thus far. Can you believe it? And Yasmin thought she has problems....
It looks like my poor daughter who is soon to be graduating from High School will be attending university in Saudi, which has to be every girl's dream right? LOL!
This is what I get for swearing I would never go back to that country under its present leadership unless it was for Hajj or Umrah....
My husband knows how I feel about Saudi and he doesn't like it himself, yet he has somehow convinced himself that it is still better for us to be living and working in the Arab world than living here. I am in disagreement with this because for me and my daughters it is not better to be living in Saudi. And sadly over there I cannot be as active as I am here.
I have been trying to get my husband to agree to letting us live in Lebanon while he works in Saudi and goes back and forth, but the problem is that it would cost us so much money, where if we are together in Saudi we would be saving because our expenses would be much less. And because we will continue to have expenses back here in the U.S., as my two oldest sons need to finish their degrees Insha Allah, it would be very difficult for us to afford living in three different countries...
I should probably be feeling grateful that my husband has found a job before he loses his job here, yet instead I am feeling angry and depressed...I just hope that it will be a stepping stone for him to eventually get work elsewhere....
Looks like I'm wrong.

He really has kalb(dog) at the root of his name!
Marion,
ReplyDeleteSorry this is a tough position for you and your daughters. I got offered a job working in KSA a few years ago, my wife said she wont go from one form of occupation to another. She went for hajj before she came here and when she came back she said it was nice and she had a good time but only for vacation not for living.
I hope that you lose your depression feelings and that something will improve with that situation for your family.
Inshallah.
lol.
