Smash the Head of the Wahabi Saudi Monster

Firstly: the email message
1- We have received this email message from a female pilgrim who has performed pilgrimage this year (2015 A.D. / 1436 A.H.), and she has written her testimony of the events she has witnessed.
2- Here's the message: (…This message is addressed to those interested to know the terrible truth of the KSA royal family Al-Saud. I am one among the hundreds of pilgrims who survived and witnessed the terrible Mena stampede. Some claim or imagine – so as to suck up to Al-Saud royal family – that this terrible accident is a matter of Fate. I beg to differ. I assert to all people concerned that this accident has been planned and premeditated. The unknown criminals have done it for political reasons. As we well may know: ask yourself who the beneficiary is, and you will know the culprits. The Iran-KSA conflict, in my opinion, is the cause of that terrible act of stampede that killed hundreds of innocent pilgrims. May God damn and punish the Al-Saud family! I accuse them of leaking a suffocating gas in the pilgrims' way in Mena via two pipes. Those who have been in the front rows in the crowd to perform the rituals assert this fact. Stampede ensued when voices grew loud with the message: "Go back, everybody! Death is near at hand!" Within seconds the stampede occurred; waves of running people in panic like a raging wild sea waves, and the frightened people were running while chanting ''Allahu Akbar''! The stampede ended within a few minutes. The scene followed was very painful: screams and crying everywhere from the survivors and the injured within the sight of the corpses and the dying people as well as those who swooned. Countless shoes and slippers were strewn in the floor. The trolleys that carried the elderly have been smashed while containing their dead bodies. White swathes of male pilgrims were strewn everywhere. I remembered then the words of Dr. Ahmed Subhy Mansour in many articles; this pilgrimage uniform for males is wrong as it does not cover the male pilgrim fully; rather, the males perform rituals in them semi-naked! Within all the chaos, I have never seen a single Saudi policeman that ran to the rescue. No one helped the swooned people in anyway. When security men came eventually, they merely lifted the corpses and the injured to cover up the signs of the crime. In the afternoon of that terrible day, we found policemen in the streets trying to regulate pilgrims' movements, and one policeman told us that they are trying to defend us from pilgrims of African nationalities, as if they were the cause of the catastrophe! Why regulating pilgrims' movements have not occurred before?! I believe the stampede has been organized with evil intentions! I seek refuge in God! As for the transgressions committed by Al-Saud men in the airport to humiliate pilgrims, they are so many. I was carrying my own copy of the Quran, and so did my friend; yet, the copy of my friend was taken by the airport security men because it was not printed in the KSA! Mine was returned to me because it was printed in the KSA! Another inconvenience occurred when some pilgrims of other ethnicities and nationalities and the Shiite pilgrims have been humiliated and verbally abused by security men, policemen, and taxi drivers after they question them about the tenets of their doctrines. An Iraqi who died in another place was carried to Mena to make us think he died in the stampede; in fact, he died of suffocation by gas. Another Iraqi Shiite man was beaten by a Saudi policeman, just because he is a Shiite, so severely that he nearly died if it had not been for those who saved him. Another Shiite Iraqi was verbally abused by another Saudi policeman. May God damn the Saudis with their Wahabi fanaticism. Despite all this, the Saudis who participated the destruction of Iraq bewail the death of Saddam Hussein! They do it just to spite the Shiite Iraqis. Why the Saudis would not leave the Islamic world in peace? They should not have interfered in its affairs. Why is the KSA spending billions in waging a war against Yemen? Why did the KSA participate in the destruction of Iraq and Syria? Why does not the KSA care for the safety of pilgrims who have paid exorbitant prices in pilgrimage? I spent nightmarish hours in the area of Muzdalifa; men and women slept in the dirty streets and on pavements, surrounded by litter and garbage waste. I never slept because I felt insecure; men who wore the white swathes seemed semi-naked or about to get naked. A woman might fear the danger of being raped! Why did not the KSA government give us tents to spend the night inside them? Crowds later on spend a lot of time cramped in narrow dilapidated bathrooms to take showers. Is this the generosity of the KSA to the pilgrims?!...).
Secondly: Our reply:
1- We disagree with the eyewitness in the existence of a conspiracy; this goes against the benefits of the KSA, and this accident has mortified them greatly.
2- We perceive that the crux of the matter is that the KSA government suffers negligence and lack of proper care for pilgrims. Such shameful neglect is found in any tyrant regime, especially in the unjust KSA. All wealth, safety, excellent services, and all advantages are for the Saudi royal family members, whereas the ordinary people are suppressed, oppressed, and held captive. The people themselves in the KSA are controlled and spied on all the time by the religious police and ordinary policemen that chase all persons in the streets, markets, and workplaces. Such policemen never dare to come near a palace of a Saudi prince or wealthy man. Floods occur annually in the city of Jeddah, and no one cares to take any measures to stop any damages, as long as the floods do not come near a palace of a Saudi prince. Let alone the life of pilgrims; it does not count as long as they have paid the exorbitant fees. The Saudis care only for the wealthy pilgrims who are VIPs or from the royal family; they force other pilgrims to make way for the mighty and wealthy.
3- The stimulus of negligence is not just caused by the way of functioning in any tyrant regimes, especially in the KSA. The main cause of the major problems in pilgrimage is the Saudi royal family when it has controlled pilgrimage since 1924 A.D. within passive silence on the part of the so-called Islamic world. With the passage of years, we are taught to accept that the KSA has the right to control pilgrimage rites and make use of pilgrims even without taking proper care for the life and safety of pilgrims. As long as the KSA royal family enjoys impunity, lack of impeachment, and free reign to control pilgrimage, as if they were the owners of the Kaabah shrine in Mecca, they control pilgrimage (Hajj) and make it in one week. The Quran states clearly that the pilgrimage last for the duration of several months. The Saudis ignore sharia law in the Quran. The real mohts of pilgrimage are the four lunar months: Zu Al-Hijja, Muharram, Saffer, and Rabei Awwal. "The Hajj is during specific months. Whoever decides to perform the Hajj-there shall be no sexual relations, nor misconduct, nor quarrelling during the Hajj…"(2:197). The catastrophes perpetuated by the KSA regime and royal family have their defenders in all mass media in the Arab world, especially in the Sunnite institutions, chief among them Al-Azhar institution in Cairo, Egypt, that is why the KSA continues to neglect pilgrims and persecute Shiite pilgrims without caring for any criticism.
4- Pilgrims' life will remain in danger, and the catastrophes will reoccur as long as this evil Saudi royal family controls the Mecca shrine with all negligence and haughtiness.
5- Mecca ought to be safe for all people according to the Quran. Series of catastrophes in Mecca that result in killing of pilgrims are part of the black history of the Saudi royal family. Since the establishment of the third, current KSA, they never stopped killing Muslims (Shiites and others) around them in Arabia, Iraq, and the Levant. Their mortal enemy is Shiite creed followers; the antithesis of Wahabism. Wahabis made alliances with Western colonial powers during the Arab world struggle for liberation. Abdul-Aziz Al-Saud the founder of the KSA used to receive a salary from Great Britain and later on became a mean subservient agent to the USA. His offspring remain to this day mean subservient agents to the USA. The Saudis forsake the Palestinian cause long ago; instead, they have created and imposed the Sunnite vs. Shiite conflict whose victims we see now in the destruction of Iraq and Syria!
6- The solution lies in ending the existence of this evil monarchy to save peoples of the Arabian Peninsula and other nations from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Egypt, North Africa, and even to Nigeria. The Wahabi epidemic threatens all humanity worldwide.
7- The capital of Wahabism is in Riyadh; it should be annihilated!
Lastly: the best discourse: the Quran:
"Fight them. God will punish them at your hands, and humiliate them, and help you against them, and heal the hearts of a believing people. And He will remove the anger of their hearts. God redeems whomever He wills. God is Knowledgeable and Wise. Or do you think that you will be left alone, without God identifying which of you will strive, and take no supporters apart from God, His Messenger, and the believers? God is well Aware of what you do. It is not for the polytheists to attend God's places of worship while professing their disbelief. These-their works are in vain, and in the Fire they will abide. The only people to attend God's places of worship are those who believe in God and the Last Day, and pray regularly, and practice regular charity, and fear none but God. These are most likely to be guided. Do you consider giving water to pilgrims and maintaining the Sacred Mosque the same as believing in God and the Last Day and striving in God's path? They are not equal in God's sight. God does not guide the unjust people." (9:14-19)
God says nothing but the Truth.
