Re: Egypt: Salafis protest against establishing ties with Iran because it’s Shia
Oh, thank you very much. This news has been such a relief. People! Shias are "SAFE" in Saudi. In other words, they are still ALIVE. What else do they want?! Right?
The “exaggeration in media” must be the work of Iran. May be this is why Salafis are against Iranian presence in Egypt. Right?
Persecution of Shia Muslims - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
**The government has restricted the names that Shias can use for their children **in an attempt to discourage them from showing their identity. Saudi textbooks, criticized for their anti-Semitism, **are equally hostile to Shiism often characterizing the faith as a form of heresy worse than Christianity and Judaism. Wahabi teachers frequently tell classrooms full of young Shia schoolchildren that they are heretics.[SUP][29]](Anti-Shi'ism - Wikipedia)[/SUP]
In the town of Dammam, a quarter of whose residents are Shia Ashura is banned, and there is no distinctly Shia call to prayer. There is no Shia cemetery **for the nearly quarter of the 600,000 Shias that live there. There is only one mosque for the town’s 150,000 Shias. The Saudi government has often been viewed as an active oppressor of Shias because of the funding of the Wahabi ideology which denounces the Shia faith.[SUP][30]](Anti-Shi'ism - Wikipedia)
[/SUP]One more thing. Since oil in the kingdom is concentrated in shia majorit area, and as you said, since shias are living quite comfortably there; therefore shias must be quite well off financially. Could you please confirm this?
This is a report of Human Rights Watch. It gives glimpses of life shias face in Saudi. This report must be the work of Iran. Right?
