Personal Thought: Saudi Arabia- Also a patron to Hafiz Sayeed?

Category »  Editorial Posted On Thursday, March 11, 2010

Recently Prime Minister concluded his visit to Saudi Arabia. This is the first visit by any Indian PM to Saudi Arabia in the last 25 years. It is said to be very productive in strengthening relationship between the two countries. Apart from other agreements, both the countries also signed an extradition treaty. After this treaty, India can extradite from Saudi Arabia any wanted criminal who has committed any crime in India.
But, from this treaty can we conclude that Saudi Arabia has no role in the worldwide expansion of terrorism and its linkage with the worldwide movement of so-called Islamic Jihad? Is Saudi Arabia as peace loving as it seems?
Before continuing, it is necessary to clarify that the Wahaabi ideology, which has become the biggest inspiration for Islamic terrorism, has its roots in Saudi Arabia itself. If Wahaabi ideology teaches to follow radical Islam, the same radical Islam defines the word Jihad in its own way directly linking it to terrorism. Let's have a look at this Wahaabi ideology. An 18th century Muslim scholar of Saudi Arabia, Mohammad Ibne Abdul Wahaab started this radical mission of giving an extremist face
to Islam. He stressed on promotion of so called Pure Islam. The things he felt necessary, he termed them as Islamic and what he didn't like, he termed it as anti-Islam and non-Sharia. Wahaab was of the view that the Muslims, who do non-Islamic deeds (according to him), are also Kaafir (non believer).
In a short time, he became very popular among the illiterate Arabs. During the expansion of this ideology, Wahaabi supporters created largescale armed disturbance in many parts of the world including the holy cities of Mecca and Madina. Consequently, so many innocent Muslim women, children and old people were killed. The same people destroyed the house where Prophet Mohammad was born. The supporters of this ideology also destroyed many mausoleums of Sufi saints. The same ideology made Saudi born Osama bin Laden, the world's most dangerous terrorist.
When this Osama bin Laden became the most wanted terrorist of the world, the same Saudi Arabian government disowned him and again became clean and peace loving. Moreover, Saudi Arabia never hesitates in speaking against Laden or other terrorists. Currently, Hafiz Mohammad Sayeed, the chief of Pak-based Jamaat-Ud-Dawa has emerged as the biggest hurdle between India-Pakistan relations. He has become the world's most controversial and most wanted terrorist. His name tops the list of the perpetrators of 26/11 attack on Mumbai.
