I mentioned once before that I doubted a full scale uprising was unlikely in Yemen due to a number of factors but one of them being that Islamic leaders, especially Shaikh Zindani, the rector of al-Eman University in Sana'a, said that uprising against the government is haram because the leader - Ali Abdullah Saleh - establishes the prayer.
The Shaikh maintained this stance for years and anyone who spoke out too loudly against him in this stance may have had their house vandalised by thugs (every big character has a gang of thugs to do the dirty work) or banned from his university.
Now he has finally taken a more Islamic political stance by publically supporting the anti-government protests and calling for the establishment (I am not sure how loud he said that), of an Islamic state. That's great news but I would be hesitant to follow him in case he changed his mind again if he gets a bit scared of stronger characters.
Western media covering this are quick to remind us that the Shaikh is an al-Qaeda sympathiser (that's just one step down from being actual al-Qaeda) and that he is a specially designated terrorist (specially designated by America of course).
Since I am on the topic of a Shaikh speaking out against the government, I might now turn your attention to a speech televised on Yemen's Suhail channel of Shaikh Tareq al-Suwaidan from Kuwait. Summarising heavily, he said that the president of Yemen is a liar and the people of Yemen should not believe any of his words in regard to his intended actions and are within their rights to uprise against him.
Bismillah,
ReplyDeleteTarek As Suwaidan is a rafidhi pig, who has cursed Ahla Sunna for a long time. He has a whole series abuot the Fitna between the Sahaaba, in which he portrays the Sahaba as a bunch of low lifes. Why would we take his words on a person who is even worse than him. Do not discredit yourselves by using comments from people like this, just because they are true. This is the problem with the opposition. They are uniting with anyone who is against the current system, no matter if he is a houthi, communist, secularist, as long as he is against the president, he is my hero?! Some of these people will be worse than this current idiot. DOnt be fooled!
LPOY agrees with your sentiments on sh. al-Suwaidan. We are aware of the traits of the shaikh. LPOY decided to mention him because he spoke out early and admin here was rather suprised at it.
ReplyDeleteWe all make dua that ALlah gives victory to the haqq and discredits publicly those against it.
