Saudi Arabia, i.e. the second largest Arab country, the one with the strongest economy and the richest in oil, is nowadays trembling. Moreover, the people in Saudi Arabia, which is the biggest country in the Middle East region, are sleepless due to fear from the “chunky” Sadr. 26 million citizens in the Kingdom, from its east to its west and from its south to its north have been quivering ever since the leader of the Sadrist movement in Iraq, Moqtada al-Sadr, threatened to invade and burn down their country. The blind and chauvinistic hatred has reached its peak in the heart of this “armpit,” nay this “Sadr” [chest in Arabic], seeing how all his terms are insulting as he does not know how to speak politely and reassess himself before issuing statements without any self-control. Last Monday, Al-Sadr threatened to invade and burn down Saudi Arabia if a Bahraini Shiite symbol is harmed. Media outlets thus carried his statements which assured: “If one hair on the head of Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Ahmed Qasim is touched, we will enter Saudi Arabia and burn it.” This was said in response to a message addressed by the Bahraini justice minister who accused Qasim of instigating sectarianism and undermining national unity in his country. The Saudis will not respond in the same provocative way - which is intentionally used by Al-Sadr in his statements - as he always says: “We will pluck your beard, cut off your tongue, shatter your teeth, and rip your heart out” among other things. However, they will respond unanimously (i.e. the Sunnis and the Shiites) and say: Do it if you can, so that you learn a new lesson regarding the fact that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries do not constitute a low wall which can be jumped over or attacked for Iran's sake, and you will find in these countries among others, men who do not tolerate the “parrot syndrome” and the attempts to undermine their countries' sovereignty. Personally, I have an opinion in regard to the Bahraini issue, but there is not enough room to explain it. I know that not all the demonstrators support Iran or want instability in their country, and that they are entitled to demand their human rights and call on the government to introduce serious reforms in a Kingdom suffering many problems. Moreover, the Bahraini government must act and not wait each and every time until the problems peak their head out, before looking into them and finding the necessary solutions to resolve them. It must therefore commit to its promises, considering that if it does not do so, it would be useless to stall and prevent the people from demanding their legitimate rights. But what Al-Sadr, his followers and masters are repeating regarding the presence of the Peninsula Shield Force in Bahrain to kill the demonstrators, is a mere promotion of the Iranian lies, since he knows the reality of the situation in Bahrain and knows very well that Iran tried to interfere and place its hands over the vital facilities in Bahrain via its men. Al-Sadr has the right to condemn Qasim's arrest and criticize any inhumane practices. However, when he exceeds the limits of decency, the “rottenness” of his tongue will be responded to in a much stronger way. Damn the blind thinking which he is following along with his militias that know nothing but “spiteful” ideologies and the language of threats, invasions, militias, gangs and killing. With such statements, Al-Sadr is leading us back to the square of Saddam's threats, battles and invasions, while the only difference between the two is that Saddam used to contain Al-Sadr and his likes. Al-Sadr might think that the states of the region do not know his “dark” record and that of the Mehdi Army which he heads - and which is nothing but an armed sectarian organization whose elements carried out mass killings against the Sunnis through the so-called “death squads” and whose leaders are involved in the forced sectarian displacement of the Sunnis in Baghdad, Diyala and the southern provinces - in addition to his personal loyalty to Iran before Iraq. We have one simple question for Al-Sadr: If you are a true Arab concerned about the Arabs' interests, why are you not concerned about the Arabs of Ahwaz – who are mainly Shiites – in light of Iran's practices, insults and humiliations? If you are a true Arab, why are you not saying anything in regard to the status of the Sunnis in Iran after they were prevented by the Iranian authorities from performing the Eid prayer in several areas of Tehran, and after the houses and homes in which they perform these prayers were besieged? Where is the Arab courage running in your “burned” blood when it comes to the terrorist operations perpetrated by Iran in your country, or are you a mere “Persian scarecrow” affected by what affects your masters in Iran and is following in Hezbollah's footsteps? It would have been better for Al-Sadr to direct his power toward cleaning his “glass house” instead of threatening Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States, thus forgetting to take into consideration the fact that there are men in these countries that would die for them, if he is insisting on living. What is certain is that Al-Sadr is harming himself before harming others, while his last statements came out from “diseased” bronchi in a moment of “insane dreams.” There is an old Arab saying that goes as follows: “Whoever issues big talk will be humiliated.” Moqtada is a “blind” Iranian tool, and those pushing him to issue this talk to see the reaction of the other side are waiting for him to dig his own grave with his chest and hands.
