    KSA lifted the blockade against Yemen early today..

    AQ is not Wahhabis.. AQ is Deobandi with Muslim Brotherhood ideology.

    Well they were shamed into ending it.

    https://www.voanews.com/a/elders-ca...allies-to-lift-blockade-of-yemen/4110794.html


    and I would lay a bet the US did as well - who knows maybe even Israel. I think not even Israel or the US was going to get away with supporting the genocide of these people while the world looked on.

    This is little better than it was this morning but still as they say above a dire situation.

    That is not true. They were funded by the Saudi Arabia in the US Soviet/Afghan war. You have on this site when you were being more honest admitted that Saudi Arabia deliberately set up religious extremist groups to counteract Arab Nationalism and communism. These days you just seem to open your mouth and say whatever you believe will keep your beloved Wahhabis appearing in the clear.

    But of course we all know that Saudi Arabia took in the most extreme Muslim Brotherhood and that one of them was Bin Laden's teacher.

    When Nasser fell out with the MB he hanged some and put others in prison. Some fled to Arabia and asked for sanctuary... They were granted sanctuary on the condition that they NOT teach MB doctrine. When they failed to keep the bargain they were expelled from Arabia.

    The doctrine appealed to Osama Bin Laden. His AQ were Deobandi which is a reform movement in reaction to the British.. It is centered in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.

    The Saudis hate Communism so they helped the US in Afghanistan and have been paying the consequences ever since.

    In 1994 the Saudi government yanked OBL's Saudi citizenship and declared AQ a trrorist organization.

    Since the Saudis lifted the week long embargo of Yemen this morning the head of the Houthis rebels (Sammad) announced they will escalate the conflict... and continue in their efforts to mine the sea lane called the Bab al Mandab.

    Lots of Iranians are Arabs.


    Persians are Iran's largest ethnic group, but nearly a dozen other ethnicities represent well over a third of the 79 million population. The largest ethnic groups, which are major factors in Iranian politics, are Azeris, Kurds, Arabs, Baluchis, and Lors. Others include Turkomen, Qashqai, Mazandarani, Talysh and Gilaki.Sep 3, 2013

    Two Arabs (postgraduate students) from Egypt and Palestine were my neighbours when I work in the Bologna University. They blamed me in drinking wine but themselves smoked marihuana :) I believe the muslim cartoons are something like this. Firstly they give money for director to production and advertisement of their ideas and then cut his head, because he made a sin.

    Why? It's a simple observation that it is. It undeniable this is all done with the help of western military equipment. Kind of in the same fashion Israel is get to ethnic cleanse Palestinians outside Israel for the sake to expand their colonies with western military equipment.

    The US is more concerned with the al Houthis mining the Bab al Mandab..

    As soon as the Saudis lifted the blockade, the rebels announced they would "escalate" the conflict.

    I did read about this Margot. Some ended up in Egyptian prisons where they became a lot worse. They were also tortured which I read also made them even worse. However I do not like the way you try to imply this is the Muslim Brotherhood. No it is not. That was extremists who became more extremist when they were in jail. The MB who did not go to jail decided to do things by non violent means and to be elected by democracy and so on.

    so you say. The fact that Saudi Arabia took in these extremists says where its position is.
    Too late. Margot how stupid to you think people are. No one invites extremists in and says oh by the way please do not be extremists while you are here. The Saud's main problem with the Muslim Brotherhood is that they believe in Democracy - bye bye Kingdom.

    Much though the UK tried very hard to find them to be the terrorists as the Saud's were demanding we did, the UK were unable to find evidence of this and that is even on threat of projects to the UK being cut.



    Why would Bin Laden a Saud, educated in Saudi Arabia follow a religion of Pakistan which they copied from the Wahhabis. Why not just take the real thing....and while we are on about it, why did Qatar have problems with Saudia Aabia.. because Saudi Arabia wanted to fund all the al Qaeda/Isis ones and Qatar wanted to fund the MB ones?

    No Margo the Sauds were in charge of education in Afghanistan...but of course this is not just about Afghanistan. As you said before the Sauds were financing the creation of plenty of extremists and we have them now all over the world.

    Arabia's financial and religious projects for the Muslim world as a whole. ...


    Deobandi may have been created as a response to the British but what they were copying was Wahhabism Nice try.

    Saudi Arabia as you were once good enough to be honest about has owned up to and has been recognised as the prime funder of extremist Wahhabi Religion.

    Not just communism. They also hate Nationalism as you told me before. Indeed it would be fair to say that they hate anything which threatens the crown on their head and the money in their accounts. Destroying Arab Nationalism and movement towards communism was according to you the reason they funded and encouraged extremest religious organisations.

    very true. The helped the US in Afghanistan by creating extremest fanatics to fight there as spoken about in links left.


    They have not begun to pay for the hell they have created in the world. Not begun.


    This one rates pretty much with the same cognition you have which says that if people do not agree with a Saudi Arabian article what it is talking about does not exist. I can though understand why you have this misconception. If people say what the Crown does not want then it is off with his head.


    Well Saudi Arabia and its friends are the ones flattening a people who can not fight back in kind, destroying their infrastructure, causing epidemics and trying to starve them to death. Saudi Arabia should leave them alone to fight Al Qaeda and ISIS in a fair fight. Saudi Arabia cannot win. It's last try, genocide has been shown not to be workable. Love the way you are now using Israel's arguments.

    if I have time one day I will check out what the sea lane is about.

    The blockade only lasted a week and was put in place because the Houthis fired an Iranian Missile at Riyadh.

    It they are successful in mining the bab al Mandab things really will get worse.

    Remember the "booze wars" of November 2000 and the Scots involved in that false flag?

    Ok lets have your link. My first search produces zero links they have said this. Nor indeed any that the US has said it will stand by Saudi rabi and friends while they commit genocide in Yemen.

    Exactly how many thousands of bombs do you think the Sauds have landed in Yemen killing thousands of children and destroying their infrastructure, particularly liking to bomb such things as hospitals with patients inside. When you have people who are already starving to death because of your actions and are trying to deal with a cholera epidemic what gives you the right to in any way try to excuse cutting absolutely everything off. I would like to see how you would survive in Yemen.

    No one was killed with that strike unlike the people of yemen killed daily and reduced to a life among rubble. People say the Saud's are losing their money. Given their work in spreading extremist religion throughout the world and their pitiless killing of people who cannot fight back, I look forward to the day karma comes to speak to them.

    The Houthis tried to overthrow the Yemen government in 2004 and failed..

    This time they have been a critical threat to Yemen and Saudi Arabia since 2008.

    They have carried out MANY cross border attacks into Asir province in the past 3 years.

    AQ took over Southern Yemen a decade ago arriving from Afghanistan, Sudan and Pakistan.

    I looked at this a few days ago by a few different people. It sounded like a pretty run of the mill conflict and sounded like the 'rebels' were trying to get some proper democracy. I can't remember all that much details and I did read also that they reneged on something. Depends who you read...but I saw nothing, abslutely nothing for some bullies to set al qaeda and ISIS against them on the ground and get a relay team of bombers from the air. The Saudi favoured leader was not wanted. The Saudi's are autocrats. They Bombed. The houthis also are not just semi shia. In fact they are not even a Shia group. But regardless of that they contain both sunni and shia. This is not Saudi Arabia's country it should get out...and I have looked at your article and it did not say as you claimed the Houthis " will escalate the conflict... and continue in their efforts to mine the sea lane called the Bab al Mandab."

    and who got them there. Who got them into that state of mind in the first place. The Saudis did. In reality there were only around 800 Al Qaeda when the Sauds and friends started bullying the people of Yemen because they knew they could not give back what they were getting. The position of that small group was believed to put them in a good position to take more land which no doubt the Sauds knew. Very early on Al Qaeda were seen to be the winners in this war. This year reports confirmed that they still are except that there are far more of them and ISIS is now there too. I have a feeling this was the Saud's idea of Syria No2. I would point out to you that there are human beings there including a lot of children who are being killed, receiving life changing injuries and being starved to death - and that is before all of the ways in are closed. The Saudis cannot win. Stop killing.
