Zionist Server Riyadh Aims to Stir Sectarian War in Eastern S. Arabia among the Brothers


The violent detention of the Saudi Shiite leader, Sheikh Nemr Baqir al-Nemr, by the Riyadh regime was aimed at sparking sectarian clashes between the Shiite and Sunni populations in a bid to repress the Shiite minority in the eastern parts of the country which neighbors the restive Bahrain, the Arab media said.
The Arabic news agency, Al-Nakhil, said the detention of Sheikh Nemr angered his followers so deeply that they came to the streets to protest at his arrest but the Saudi regime killed, injured and detained a large number of demonstrators.

The suppression of Shiites in Saudi Arabia was intensified after the death of Saudi Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud and the appointment of Salman bin Abdulaziz as the new crown prince of the country.

The increased violence and killings in the Arab country indicate that the new Zionist server crown prince is a more extremist person than his predecessor and he is attempting to massacre the Shiite residents of the Eastern parts of the country.

To the same end, the Al-Saud rulers are striving to promote hatred for Shiites and Shiite Islam among the Wahhabites and other Sunni sects in a bid to encourage a sectarian strife to cleanse the Shiite population in a sectarian war instead of using government forces which will draw wide international condemnation.

Since February 2011, Saudi protesters have held demonstrations on an almost regular basis in Eastern Provinces, mainly in the Qatif region and the town of Awamiyah, calling for the release of all political prisoners, freedom of expression and assembly, and an end to widespread discrimination.

However, the demonstrations have turned into protests against the Al Saud regime, especially since November 2011, when Saudi security forces killed five protesters and injured many others.

The Saudi interior ministry issued a statement on March 5, 2011, prohibiting “all forms of demonstrations, marches or protests, and calls for them, because that contradicts the principles of the Islamic Sharia, the values and traditions of Saudi society, and results in disturbing public order and harming public and private interests.”

In June, Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud ordered the country’s security forces to go on a state of high alert due to what he called a “turbulent situation” in the region.

According to Human Rights Watch, the Saudi regime “routinely represses expression critical of the government”.
