Urgent Appeal to Join with the Case of Closed
Mosques and Islamic Centers by Saudi Regime
On 20 / 01 / 1421 H coinciding with 23 / 04 / 2000 ,
the Saudi regime committed a horried crime against Islam and Muslims in the
Southern town of Najran when the members of the Committee for the Propagation
of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPVPV) entered one of the mosques
belonging to Muslims from the Ismaili community and confiscated books and some
copies of Holy Qur`an . After that the people gathered and made demonstrations
protesting with the security forces.
This action is considered a
normal reaction against the continuation of prosecution and prohibition of
religious freedom and the confirmation of sectarian discrimination policy .
This case was not the first one in the black record of Saudi regime , for
example , in 1919 , the Regime`s security forces made use of forigen forces to
profane the sacredness of Kaaba when they demolished and destroyed many parts
of the Holy Mosque and Kaaba itself was exposed to the artillery bomb and
machine guns when the forces tried to exterminate the rebel (Joheiman al -
Oteibi) and his followers .
The Regime also in 1981
demolished al-Masjid al-Jama in
the district of (Abu Rasheed) in Dammam City and turned it into a parking lot .
In 1414 A.H. the security police set
al-Masjid al-Jama in al-Mubarraz town in Ihsaa on fire and in the same year
they incinerated and demolished al - Juweikh Mosque (it was archeological
mosque located between al - Hufuf town and the village of Bani Ma`n in Ihsaa,
and in Qarrah village in Ihsaa they raded the mosque of Imam mahdi and
confiscated its religious books . In 1419 some members of al - Mabahith al -
Amma in al - Qatif raded the mosque
of Sayyid Khoai in Bostan District and confiscated all its religious
books and contents. In the early of 1421H , the Saudi regime closed down more
than seven Husseinyat in Ihsaa Province.
The Muslims Ulama , the sons
of Islamic Nation , and the supporters of human rights should be protest the
sacrilege of Islam on the hands of those who have made the Islam as the
institution and method . The international community , particularly the UN Commission
on Human Rights should certify the credibility of their slogans and principles
and should break their silence towards the human rights violations in Saudi
Arabia.
They should deal with
credibility and actuality on the Saudi Regim's practices without subordinating
them to the economic and strategic interests .
