When Will the KSA Purify Itself from the Abomination of Wahabism?! An Introductory Article

1- We have come to the USA as a political asylee to flee religious persecution inflicted on our person in Egypt under the Mubarak regime; this persecution was incited and urged by the KSA, of course. Upon arriving to the USA, we have sent a copy (in Arabic) of the manuscript of our book titled "The Wahabi Opposition Movements in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the Twentieth Century" (found in English on this link: http://www.ahl-alquran.com/arabic/book_main.php?main_id=85) via registered mail to the Saudi ambassador in Washington at the time, Mr. Bandar Ibn Sultan, while enclosing a letter in which we have written that we call the KSA to reject the old pact with M. Ibn Abdul-Wahab (founder of Wahabism) to turn the KSA into a constitutional monarchy without the Wahabi ideology; we urged the Saudi authorities to reject Wahabism in order to guarantee the safety of the state and the Saudi royal family members themselves, or else, the 21^st century will witness the inevitable collapse of the Saudi regime if it sticks adamantly to Wahabism.      

2- The only reaction to our enclosed letter is what we have undergone inside the USA since 2002 until now; the Saudi lobby in Washington could NOT urge the American authorities to incarcerate our person as done by the Mubarak regime in Egypt, but this lobby has managed to drown our voice and to impose a media blackout on our VA-based IQC, Quranist website, and YouTube channel. Saudi hackers have destroyed our website, ahl-alquran.com, three times but we managed to restore it (see our article about those hackers, in English, on this link: http://www.ahl-alquran.com/English/show_article.php?main_id=15286). Quranism poses a veritable danger against the KSA, because Quranists wage an intellectual war of ideas against Wahabism from within Islam (i.e., the Quran itself) that proves that Islam has nothing to do with the Wahabi ideology, and our intellectual endeavors should serve to save the souls of millions of people in the USA, the West in general, and within the countries of the Muhammadans, as Wahabi bloodbaths and bloodshed committed falsely in the name of Islam would be prevented worldwide. The USA spends billions of US$ to protect its internal and external security, whereas our Quranist intellectual war of ideas will hardly cost the price of one apache helicopter. In fact, this Quranist intellectual war of ideas will be lucrative and bring profits when used within the production of TV shows, TV series, long/short movies, and documentary movies (see our two articles (in English) covering that topic on these links: http://www.ahl-alquran.com/English/show_article.php?main_id=14547/ http://www.ahl-alquran.com/English/show_article.php?main_id=15999). Many people within the political circles inside the USA have realized the vital importance of this Quranist intellectual war of ideas, and this is proved in the fact that  we have been appointed for a while as a visiting professor in one of the very important centers that provide decision-makers with information and knowledge and that we are being consulted (for free) to provide our pieces of advice and views. The Saudi lobby in Washington fears our person very much and it aborts any potential success that we would achieve. In fact this Saudi lobby has managed to close all gates/venues inside the USA before our person. Typically, a high-rank American official would be enthusiastic about the Quranist intellectual war of ideas, and he/she would contact us several times before this comes to a halt and they never contact our person again. Recently, a very high-rank official contacted us and then never repeated this contact, without giving reasons. At one point, Al-Hurra website and channel requested from us to write a weekly article in return for a very good remuneration, and after reaching an agreement with our person, Al-Hurra suddenly cancelled this agreement; this shows that the Saudi lobby is moving against our person and hinder our endeavors in a flagrant manner which is known to everyone, while those concerned authorities in Washington remain silent though they know about this.                 

3- Despite the above, we never despair or give up hope regarding reforming the KSA by making it reject Wahabism once and for all. When the late Saudi king Abdullah began to announce the intentions to introduce reform, especially reform of education inside the KSA, we felt encouraged at the time to write and urge him to adopt the reform project of the Saudi late thinker Mr. Nasser Al-Saeed, which we have talked about in our book about the Wahabi opposition movements inside the KSA. Soon enough, we have realized that such announced intentions were mere media coverage (as nothing has been done actually) to falsely improve the image of the KSA within the international arena. This has made us write an article, in English, about how it is impossible to reform the KSA (found on this link:http://www.ahl-alquran.com/English/show_article.php?main_id=15488), and we have called the KSA as the axis of evil worldwide.     

4- One of the missions undertaken by Muslim reformist thinkers is to encourage any announced initiative of reform; we have praised the Egyptian President Al-Sisi in 2014 when he announced the intention to reform education (especially religious/Azharite education) in Egypt, but we have attacked him when it turned out that he committed crimes and therefore he is an enemy of God and we have disowned him (see our book titled "A Witness of the Earliest Months of The Presidential Term of The Egyptian President Al-Sisi" found in English on this link: http://www.ahl-alquran.com/arabic/book_main.php?main_id=77). The motive for any Muslim reformist thinkers to encourage any announced initiative of reform is that reformers are keen on stopping or preventing any bloodshed and they fear for the weak, oppressed ones on Earth who are victims of any armed struggles between tyrants and their foes. For instance, we have seen how the Saudi axis of evil and its struggle against non-Wahabis using ISIS terrorists and how the Saudi interference in the Levant, Iraq, and Yemen has caused  many bloodbaths that we hope to see the end of them one day.

5- Bloodbaths can be stopped only if the KSA would purify itself from the abomination of Wahabism; the Saudi Wahabism is behind the injustices committed against Shiites inside the KSA and Saudi wars waged against Shiites outside the KSA. The Saudi Wahabism is the cause of spreading the cursed Wahabi ideology in Egypt and the Cairo-based Al-Azhar institution and within the rest of the countries of the Muhammadans. Before the spread of Wahabism using Saudi money or the petrodollars, most Muhammadans were peaceful Sunnite Sufis, but most of them now have converted to Wahabism, the religion of terrorism and violence. Let us not forget the Wahabi KSA spread Wahabism inside the West in general: Europe, Canada, and the USA, corrupting Muslim youths there; instead of making Muslim communities in the West as a factor of reforming all Muslims/Muhammadans, the Wahabi youths of the West are turning into time bombs exploding in streets of the West cities. The Saudi Wahabism has impeded and hindered the democratic transition within the countries of the Muhammadans. In fact, the democratic transition has occurred without difficulties in Eastern European countries that were communist nations, whereas democracy is a taboo which is banned within the countries of the Muhammadans, because the alternative after ousting tyrants is NOT preachers of justice, religious freedom, human rights, and democracy, but Wahabi theocrats like the terrorist MB, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda, who are all the archenemies of justice, religious freedom, human rights, and democracy. In sum, bloodbaths can be stopped and prevented only if the KSA would get rid of the abomination called the Wahabi ideology.             

6- The KSA might spare itself from the eminent collapse only if it would reject Wahabism and all political burdens resulting from it; this way, the KSA would turn into a kingdom without an ideology, such as the kingdom of Jordan and the kingdom of Morocco. In fact, Jordan lives on the brink of many dangers, including the Arab-Israeli conflict and the fact that a high percentage of its population are Palestinians. Indeed, Jordan suffers from Palestinians, Israelis, Syrians, Iraqis, Saudis, and Egyptians. If Jordan were adopting the aggressive Wahabi ideology, it would have collapsed easily and promptly, to be occupied by Israel or any other countries. As for Morocco, it suffered many times in history (because of its geographical location) when the Muhammadans engaged into wars against the Europeans throughout the centuries, and the Moroccan kingdom never collapsed and was never occupied by the Ottomans; it remained independent, because Morocco never adopted any extremist Sunnite ideology like Wahabism. This is why both Jordan and Morocco never had any military coups or revolts of any type; in fact, both kingdoms are more liberal and open than most of the military presidential regimes inside the countries of the Muhammadans, where presidents have to embrace Wahabism in order not to be outdone or defeated by their Wahabi foes and their overt and secret organizations (e.g., the terrorist MB).          

7- The USSR was the second power worldwide, and its ideology used to spread in Europe and other continents, as a communists empire was formed within countries under the control of the USSR in Asia and Europe as well as Cuba, Vietnam, and North Korea. The USSR retained its ideology by imposing it on nations and surrounding them with the so-called iron-curtain. Modern means of communication and media penetrated this iron curtain and an intellectual war of ideas was waged against the communist ideology by the USA and the West. Thus, by reaching the minds of Soviet citizens, the USSR collapse without one bullet. This vital lesson has been learned now: any given country that is ruled by one ideology imposed on people will never go on existing in our modern era of the global village and open skies of communication and media revolution.   

8- Within the early years of the third, current Saudi state in the 1930s, Wahabi sheikhs stood against introducing modern invention (e.g., telegrams and motorcycles) inside the KSA. King Abdul-Aziz Al-Saud had convinced, with extreme difficulty, those Wahabi sheikhs that these modern inventions are not linked to Jinn or devils. Soon enough, the KSA has used modern inventions of communication and mass media to spread Wahabism in the West and in the countries of the Muhammadans. Besides, when the Wahabi epidemic spread, bloodbaths occurred in many regions, and social media networks and media worldwide tackled such news with analyses and discussions. This led to discussion of the Wahabi ideology itself, even inside the KSA. Although the Saudi regime blocks regularly many websites of enlightenment just as Modern Discussion (ahewar.net) and our Quranism website (ahl-alquran.com), the KSA is a leader in satellite channels and countless Wahabi websites used to impose Wahabism on Saudi citizens and to prevent any refutation or discussion of Wahabism. Yet, the rays of light infiltrates every location, even inside the KSA itself despite of the Saudi regime: Wahabism is being discussed and refuted openly now (to a certain extent) inside and outside the KSA. Ironically, when Wahabi sheikhs and clergymen have used modern media and cyberspace, they inadvertently have exposed their obscurantism, ignorance, extremism, immorality, fanaticism, and bigotry. This led to the fact that Wahabi sheikhs and clergymen are being ridiculed and satirized by many people now. Thus, spending billions of petrodollars to spread Wahabism in media and in cyberspace was in vain for the KSA. The KSA can no longer protect its Wahabi ideology against refutation, criticism, and discussion within cyberspace and media that link all people worldwide. Thus, the KSA can no longer impose full media blackout on calls for reform on all levels, including Quranism advocated and propagated within our website. When severe American reproach has drawn nearer to the KSA, though the USA protects the Saudi throne, some measures had to be taken by the KSA; e.g., the so-called moderation center (see our article in English about this topic on this link: http://www.ahl-alquran.com/English/show_article.php?main_id=16657) and another center to 'sift' and 'review' Sunnite Wahabi hadiths.                    

9- The greatest lesson to be learned is that the ideology-based USSR has collapsed when its communist ideology collapsed; likewise, the KSA will collapse when Wahabism collapses. We are never to forget that the Saudi state emerged and collapsed twice. Our modern era now in the 21^st century is the ideal timing for the collapse of the third current KSA, and when it vanishes from the map of the world, no one is going to regret its disappearance or weep for it; the whole world will rejoice, in fact. Indeed, the Saudi Wahabism from 1745 A.D. until now caused the massacre of millions of people in the West and in the East. The abomination called Wahabism has hijacked the name of the great religion of Islam and tarnished its reputation! Real Islam (i.e., Quranism) has nothing to do with the religion called Sunnite Wahabism.  

10- We, Quranists, are keen on clearing the name of Islam as a religion with its faith tenets and sharia laws, and we are very eager to spread Islam in terms of behavior; i.e., peaceful demeanor and non-violence as well as stopping bloodshed inflicted on the weak, oppressed people on Earth, to whom our person and all Quranists worldwide belong. We personally are eager to forget the Saudi persecution inflicted on us and write to call the KSA to apply a comprehensive reform by purifying itself from the abomination of Wahabism so that the KSA is turned one day into a constitutional monarchy to save itself, citizens of Arabia, the Saudi royal family members, and the whole world from the evils of Wahabism.    

11- How is this ever going to happen? We provide the answer to this question in the next article.
