Discussion on Islamic Sacred Sites and Yemen

Those Islamic holy sites do not belong to the Saudis,

and we do not consider them theirs.

They are Islamic landmarks, and we as Muslims are

equal in that regard. What differs is the level

of reverence and sanctification.

By God’s grace, in our faith, our principles, our culture,

we are among the Muslims who most sanctify holy sites and glorify

God’s rituals.

The Yemeni people are among the foremost peoples in glorifying

God’s rituals and sanctifying

Islamic holy sites, among the foremost peoples.

Their positions bear witness to this, as does their authentic affiliation

with faith, which the Messenger of God, may God’s blessings be upon him and his

family, expressed by saying, “Faith is Yemeni,

and wisdom is Yemeni.”

Then,

with this consideration of faith, Islam, values,

and morality,

even at the level of wisdom in the Prophet’s saying:

“And wisdom is Yemeni.”

Any member of the nation

who has, for example, a problem with the Saudi regime could even think, at the level of

thought,

or have it cross their mind

to do something against the holy sites, which are sacred to all

Muslims.

That is, even fools and tyrants from the Islamic nation,

from among Muslims in the A— Arab world and elsewhere,

how many fools and tyrants there have been,

evil people and rulers

characterized by stupidity and ty—tyranny,

who never even thought of doing that.

Some had problems here or there,

and perhaps it didn't even—never occurred to them at all.

What would drive the Yemeni people, for example, to target

sanctities that are sacred to them, before

anyone else,

and that they revere more than the Saudis? Saudis are not

reverent toward holy sites, they exploit

holy sites politically, economically,

and commercially. They exploit them

for influence in all its forms and use that in service of

the enemies of Islam and Muslims.

Therefore, the Yemeni people will not target their holy sites.

Those are our holy sites,

these are the holy sites of our dear, authentic Muslim people in

their faithful affiliation,

the great people in their steadfastness, in their morals,

in their authentic affiliation with Islam,

Sacred sites for all Muslims, too. That is, we have no problem with

the sacred sites or the Islamic nation. These are our sacred sites.

We are. We are.

We hold these feelings toward them,

we revere them, we are connected to them in our religious rites and worship,

and our faith-based affiliation with them has a great place in our creed,

our culture, our principles, in everything.

That is why "wisdom is Yemeni." Is it

wise for this people to behave this way?

Without any reason, any reason, any consideration?

With even the slightest thought and reflection,

even the dumbest fool in our Islamic world,

the biggest idiot at the highest level of stupidity,

can understand that the Saudi slander is false.
