….. “Nawaz Sharif, specifically, is very much Saudi Arabia’s man in Pakistan,” Mr. Alwaleed says….(Prince Waleed’s interview with the Wall Street Journal)
.this is the most direct reference by Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz on how the Saudis exercise control in Pakistan through “their man” Nawaz Sharif and their “gifts”…..another leading European Geo Political analyst calls Nawaz Sharif ….”the Saudi ruling family’s “Shoeshine” boy ready to do their bidding at the drop of the hat….”
So the Saudi ruling family wants Nawaz Sharif to send “Sunni” Pakistani troops to help them fight a loosely confederated rag tag bunch of Yemeni tribes and Zaidi Houthis who’ve been fighting anybody and everybody forever.
These guys are as trigger happy as our own local Houthis called the FATA PATHANS! ! And in the 1960s they caused 20,000 Egyptian troops to reach the Maker quicker than they expected. So beware.
But what I say now, comes from a very senior serving 3 star horse’s mouth, who has told me that he would publicly deny if I quoted his name. So no names.
Some time ago in a conversation with then Prince Salman now King Salman, the Prince says to this 3 star ..” why don’t you Pakistanis get rid of the Shias of Pakistan”….. this was then repeated by a senior ranking Saudi General also a member of the royal family….
Well they may not be able to get rid of the Shias of Pakistan, but if we did participate in this so called Iran Saudi proxy war, it will open the floodgates of sectarian strife and civil war in Pakistan, where our Militancy in FATA will look like walk in the park.
It will also be another black scar on our conscience the other being the “massacre of 1000’s of Palestinians by King Hussein of Jordan ably supported by a certain Brig. Zia ul Haque in Jordan in 1970”.
…in the words of Moshe Dayan…. “Pakistanis and King Hussein killed more Palestinians in eleven days than Israel could kill in twenty years.”
The end of the House of Saud is on the cards. Another cliché. Writings on the wall. We don’t want to get sucked in this quicksand.
The Saud have done enough damage to Islam and Muslims since that terrible pact between Mohammad Ibn Wahab and Abdul Aziz in 1744.
Let nature’s nemesis take its course and let them get their just desserts ! (enough clichés)
And then ever so often people question my sectarian bias and asked if I was against the House of Saud, or the Yemen invasion aor Saudi Wahabiism.
So here’s my answer.
First, I think I will change my name to Mohammad Ramzan so people dont get thrown away by my so Shia sounding name and immediately label me a “Shia Sectarian Iranian agent”.
Second. I am vehemently, openly and inequivocally against all three.
Against Al Saud.
Against intervention in Yemen and against Saudi Wahabiism.
And all three are closely connected and stem from the same evil root. The unholy satanic alliance between Mohammd Ibn Wahab and the son of Saud, Abbul Aziz in 1744.
The sectarian fissures in Pakistan are thanks to the Saudis, and no not the Iranians, unfortunately, far more stark then they were in 1980 and in 1993 during the Afghan civil war between the Saudi / Pakistani backed Hekmatyar and Haqqani and Irani backed Ahmad Shah Massoud.
And now on the Government’s decision whether to send Pakistan Army to prop up the Al Saud, participate in their dirty war and clean their crap.
Even during Gen Zia ul Haque’s time he flatly refused any Shia Sunni distinction.
And the Saudis now ask for a “Sunni” Pakistani Army!!!. Better ask for an Israeli contingent as well.
Gen. Raheel please be warned you’ll destroy Pakistan if you allow this Saudi Shoeshine boy, Nawaz Sharif to send our boys to clean their diapers.
If anyone is genuinely interested on the role Saudi Arabia has played in fuelling terrorism and militancy, please read my thoughts on the roots of militancy in Islam and see how they start from Ahmed ibn Hanbal in the 9th Century to Ibn Tayemmiah on the 12th Century, to Mohammed Ibn Wahab in the 18th Century to Syed Qutub, Mohammed Faraj, Abdullah Azzam, Ayman Al Zwahiri, Osama Bin Laden in the 20th Century and now Abu Bakr Baghdadi in the 21st Century. The link is at the end of this article.
And unfortunately whether we like it or not, historically it has been the Saudi Wahabi brand of Islam which was, is and will continue to be the basis of the terrible belief system of the ISIS / DAESH and the TTP and the Sectarian terrorists outfit in Pakistan such as the ASWJ, the Sipah e Sahaba and the Lashkare Jhangvi.
For the naysayers and the uninitiated a simple comparison of Sunni doctors, professors, intellectuals, government servants been killed Vs Shias will answer this question of a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Pakistan.
And pray how many by these extreme Sunni terrorist organisations in Pakistan compared to Shias?
Sir. This was not a proxy war between Saudi and Iran in Pakistan. It was a Saudi funded genocide of fellow Muslims, the Shias in Pakistan.
As plain and as simple as that.
Over 70% of Deobandi mosques in Pakistan are funded directly or indirectly by Saudis.
Over 300 Million Dollars, as estimated by the USA government, of annual funding to TTP originated from sources within Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and Kuwait.
36 Billion dollars were given to Saddam by Saudi Arabia to start the war against Iran which lasted 9 years from 1980 to 1989 and killed over a million people.
Over 100 Billion Dollars have been spent by the Saudi Government to propagate Wahabiism across the Globe subverting Schools, Colleges, Universities, Madrassahs, Political parties, political leaders. Nawaz Sharif being one most prominent. Terrorist organisations like the DAESH, TTP, the ASWJ, The Sipah e Sahaba and the Lashkare Jhnagvi. Government’s like Pakistan, Mubarak’s and Sisi’s Egypt, Saddam’s Iraq before he invaded Kuwait and the list is endless.
15 of the 19, 9/11 Hijackers were Saudis. 20,000 Saudis came to Afghanistan to fight and created the terrible mess we are in.
These guys really deserve no mercy. They’ve destroyed whatever there was of Muslim unity.
So when people talk about Iran meddling in other countries, my question is what would you do if your entire neighbourhood, overnight, after the Shah of Iran was overthrown, became your enemy including the entire West and the World’s biggesst Superpower?.
Would you sit pretty and twiddle your thumbs and let the Saudis and their proxies walk over you and bring about a regime change or would you fight for your survival?
Simple answer. Fight for your survival.
So I’m not an apologist for Iran and I’m sure they’ve done their bag of dirty tricks but nowhere near the terrible terrible chaos that the House of Saud has perpetrated in the Region and in Pakistan.
Here’s another thing to think about. Forget sects. Just look at Governance.
Iran has had 11 Presidential and parliamentary elections since their revolution in 1979.
It has a working parliament, a system that can imprison former ministers and or relatives of Presidents.
Yes the clergy still has power beyond what they should but it is waning. The recent nuclear deal with USA is a battle that the conservative clergy lost.
Saudi is a Monarchy and a terrible one at that. No human rights, no right to vote, no nothing.
A police state like Stalinist Russia.
They treat us Pakistanis like animals. A Saudi is forbidden to marry a Pakistani. That’s your Ummah for you.
In fact they treat everybody like animals, except the Americans and the Europeans.
Finally sir. Iran is a neighbour with a long border with us. Not Saudi Arabia. We want a friend on our border not an enemy.
The House of Saud’s end has come whether people like it or not. Its as plain as the blue sky.
How and when? I dont know. But surely sooner than people think and expect.
Many people comment on the relationship between Hezbollah, Hasan Nasrallah and Iran when one points out the nexus between Saudi Arabia and DAESH.
To me its comical. So steeped in prejudiced hatred are the Al Bakistani supporters of Al Saud that they will run down an organisation like Hezbollah which has single handedly taken on Israel and fought the Israeli army to a standstill, as if its something terribly “evil”.
It’s crazy what prejudice and hypocrisy can throw up!!
Lets be clear. Hasan Nasrallah is in an open alliance with Iran.
Hezbollah is fighting DAESH in Iraq. Hezbollahs enemies are not Yemen or Iraq or Syria or even Saudi Arabia but ISRAEL.
But for Hezbollah, Lebanon today would have been like the Palestinian West Bank and the Gaza Strip. A Ghetto.
But I’m not sure what’s their point?
Are they saying that Hezbollah and Iran are aligned.? Yes. Absolutely. Openly. Brazenly and Bravely.
Is it a bad. No. Absolutely not.
And then really the big question.
What have the Saudis ever ever ever practically done to help the Palestinians?
They let King Hussein of Jordan kill 25000 Palestinians in 1970 thanks to Pakistan and Brig. Zia ul Haque.
And surprise surprise, they sided with the Shia Houthis against the leftist Yemeni President in the 60’s.
They have a tacit unwritten agreement with Israel to allow Israeli planes to use Saudi air space to attack Iran.
Has Israel ever uttered one word even in anger against the Saudis in recent years?.
Who do you think wants a weak Iran other than Saudi Arabia and the USA? Israel!.
Why did the Saudis fund the overthrow of the first and only legitimately elected Egyptian government of President Morsi, in over 5 decades?
Why are they so paranoid?
Because they know their time is up.
It would have been in their and everybody’s interest including Pakistan to befriend Iran.
But being the Americans shoeshine boys they wanted to become the local badmash and strongman after the Shah of Iran, so they created this Iranian bogeyman out to destabilize the Middle East and fanned the fear of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
But, In my opinion, I think, finally the Saudis have run out of rope.
Let them now hang themselves.
Here’s the link on how Saudis have fuelled militancy and terrorism.
