I found a very interesting piece on another forum which is worth reading :-
1. The news about honoring of Modi with the highest civilian award is on expected lines. The devils among Muslims, devils among Christians and the devils among Jews have long back formed a triumvirate or a conglomeration of butchers to do the part of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini or Idi Amin, to butcher anybody to retain what they possess and conquer what they don’t possess, for mutual safety and benefit, to usurp power, land, oil and minerals, and they are precision perfect in the art of butchery. The devils among Muslims played havoc in Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain etc., the devils among Christians in Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Syria etc., and the devils among Jews in Palestine openly and in other places as Team-B. The devils among Hindus did the same thing in 2002 post-Godhra carnage and in Muzaffarnagar. The West, the East and the Middle of the globe is full of devils and made hell out of this world.
2. We cannot expect better news from Saudi Arabia as they are on the same platform as Modi is, i.e., mindless massacre of innocent people, to the dog(s) after giving bad name to dog(s).
3. Saudis may be the custodians of two grand mosques but Muslims of the world do not so recognize them in entirety, because their hands are profusely red with the blood of fellow Muslims, here, there and everywhere, and they have no right to be called so. The war in Yemen has led to the death of 5,000 people, a third of them civilians.
4. Islam doesn’t recognize, approve and sanction monarchy or diarchy, despotism or dynastic rule, and therefore monarchies in Arabian Peninsula and in Gulf countries are anti-thesis to Islam. They usurped the imperial power and became monarchs with the help, support and blessings of the Western powers. The British when they left had appointed the then dacoits as kings in parts of Arabian Peninsula, whom they expected to be puppets and are still puppets, no less and nothing beyond.
5. The Saudi kings are sitting in the laps of the US, and other monarchs in the Peninsula in the lap of the Saudi monarchs. The Saudi kings have no alternative than to lick the shoes of Americans or else get finest booting from the US, the very same treatment Saddam Hussain and Col. Gaddaffi got from the US for not toeing US line.
6. The Quincy Pact between King Abdul aziz and the US President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, signed on 14-2-1945, guaranteed US protection to Saudi Arabia against external threats in exchange for the kingdom supplying much of the US’s energy needs. It was renewed in 2005 by George Bush Jr.
7. Saudi kings and nobles were the architects of the Gulf war of 1990-91, responsible for the birth of Taliban, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram etc., (the list is long) and they and none other are responsible and accountable for the anarchy, unrest, ethnic and sectarian tussles. Sooner or later, monarchies are likely to be demolished by a revolution by the oppressed. The silent protests are brewing up and so none can sit pretty on thrones forever.
8. Former King Abdullah died in January 2016 at the age of 90 and the present King Abdelaziz al-Saud who is said to have Alzheimer’s is 80 years old. Do people of KSA need Kings who are past 80 and 90? The negligence, ignorance and inadequacies of the country’s leaders resulted in the loss of over 2,000 lives due to stampede at Mina near Mecca during the Hajj in September 2015.
9. Prophet (s.a.w.) showed the way to perform only one Hajj pilgrimage in his life. But why the rich are taking pride in undertaking Hajj pilgrimage several times and why the poor are also risking it even once though they can’t afford it. The coffers of Saudi government are filled to the brim after every Hajj pilgrimage, which has become a ritual among Muslims year after year, undertaking pilgrimage every next year, while Prophet (s.a.w.) had undertaken pilgrimage only once in his life.
10. Why not all the Hajj committees and Hajj & Umrah travel agencies be closed forthwith. Muslims will have money to save that spent on Hajj extravaganza for undertaking more than one Hajj, and divert the surplus for distribution among poor Muslims who are reeling in abject poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, malnutrition, under-nutrition, unemployment, under-employment and exploitation, with many Muslim girls dreaming about marriage and waiting to be suitably and honorably married but in the end
growing old after crossing 30, 40, 50 with dreams unfulfilled and shattered and resigned to their fate at last to die unmarried.
11. The fall of price of crude oil from $ 115 a barrel since 2014, now below $ 40, owing to the US shale oil producers not looking back, abundant supply of crude and concerns over Chinese economy, is posing a big challenge to Saudi rulers and its economy. To balance its budget, Saudi Arabia needs the price of crude to be at $ 106, which is obscure. Therefore, KSA has to cut the spending drastically but in which area? This will mean losing domestic support. Saudi Arabia made many commitments when
price of crude was high and also has huge open military spending motivated by unease over Iran’s entry into the market.
12. Egypt and Yemen are top recipients of Saudi aid. Since Abdel Fatah al-Sissi’s coup in 2013 in Egypt, Saudi Arabia supported the Egyptian economy, which according to IMF is estimated at $ 6.5 bn. to date. Saudi Arabia spent $ 130 bn. on frequent distribution of largesse during Arab Spring, and $ 29 bn. when the new king came to the throne. Saudi Arabia's economy is in doldrums.
