As a Muslim, I could not ignore the plight of Muslim brothers in Yemen – while Washington under Jewish lobby boots – is paying for the rescue of Hemeni Jews to escape from their ancient co-religionists – the “Saudi royals”. I posted my understanding of the USrael war in Yemen on November 1, 2009 under the title:

‘Save Yemen’ – Muslims Vs Jews

I have seen nothing about Houthi massacre at your site. This is not fair for you to be silent against a destructive force in the region, Saudi Arabia, where along with other Arab States, Egypt and Jordan, are called ‘Arab moderate states’ due to their collaboration with Israel against Palestinians and other non Arab states. Our problem is not limited to Palestine and Israel and those who support Palestinians must go after the most destructive force among Arab states, Saudi Arabia.

The Arab intellectuals who support Palestinian struggle are totally silent against war criminal activities of Saudi Arabia where has bought majority of Arab and non Arab journalists with $$$$ to bring them to its media mogul, Al Arabiya and other outlet to write propaganda articles against other country on behalf of US and Israel geopolitical interest to divert attention from destructive activities of Saudi’s leaders against the Shiites in Iraq and elsewhere including Yemen. Remember that the Houthi fighters are ARABS. It is shameful that Arabs are totally silent against Saudi Arabia’s WAR CRIME activity all the time.

Houthi fighters have managed to repulse Saudi Arabian forces trying to infiltrate into the province of Sa’ada in northern Yemen, killing an unspecified number of Saudi soldiers in a battle in the border region.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Yemen’s Shia Houthis said they pushed back Saudi troops from Al-Muannaq village in northern Yemen on the border with Saudi Arabia and also destroyed eight Saudi tanks.

The Houthi fighters say Saudi forces had fired 256 missiles and carried out air strikes against the Sa’ada region.

The statement also said that Saudi Apache helicopter gunships launched two air strikes on the city of Dahyan on Tuesday as Riyadh continues its air raids against the mountainous regions of northern Yemen. It added that Saudi ground forces used heavy machine guns during the operation.

The Saudi army also shelled Al-Malaheet and the villages adjacent to it, which caused many civilian deaths.

Seventy-three Saudis have been killed and 26 have gone missing since fighting broke out between Saudi forces and the Houthi fighters on November 3.

The number of wounded Saudi troops has reached 470, with 60 still hospitalized.

The conflict between the central government in Sana’a and the Houthis of northern Yemen began in 2004. The conflict intensified in August 2009 when the Yemeni army launched Operation Scorched Earth in an attempt to crush the Houthi movement.
The Houthis say their civil rights have been violated and they are suffering political, economic, and religious marginalization due to the policy of the Yemeni government, which they have also accused of widespread corruption.

The Saudi air force has further complicated the conflict by launching its own operations against Shia resistance fighters.

Houthi fighters say that Riyadh pounds their positions, and Saudi forces strike Yemeni villages and indiscriminately target civilians. According to the fighters, the Saudis are using prohibited weapons, including white phosphorous bombs, against civilians in northern Yemen.

The US military is also continuing its air raids on Yemen’s regions of Amran, Hajjah, and Sa’ada, which have suffered much due to the joint Saudi-Yemeni government offensive against the Houthi fighters.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that since 2004, up to 175,000 people have been forced to leave their homes in Sa’ada and take refuge in overcrowded camps set up by the United Nations.

The Qur’anic verse quoted by the author is out of context. Muslims are commanded: “There is no compulsion in religion”. They’re, not allowed to fight the unbelievers unless they’re provoked first by the unbelievers – and if they have to fight a war – they’re only allowed to kill the combatants. Muslim soldiers are not allowed to kill elderly men, women and children. They’re not allowed to demolish non-military buildings or the buildings used for worshipping. They’re allowed to take the defeated enemies as captives for ransom money, but if the captive choose to become Muslim, he/she must be set free.

In Islam there is no seperation between state and church, as is the case in Judaism and Christianity. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) assumed the function of Allah’s messanger, head of Islamic state of Medinah (in Hebrew Medina itself means “State”) and C-in-C of the faithful.

The West on the other hand, has never shown itself to be bounded by any moral restrains. It’s doctrine has always been: “In war every action, no matter how immoral, is justified”.

“Islam never had to go through a prolonged period of critically examining the validity of its spiritual vision, as the West did during the 18th century. Islamic culture has, of course, known its own crisis… yet it was never forced to question its traditional worldview,” – writes the historian Louis Dupre.

Islam doesn’t need Enlightenment

America has taken over where the Nazis left off. The only difference is that the Nazis were more honest about their real intentions.

America is the ‘rogue elephant in the room.’ It must be corralled, hobbled and have its tusks withdrawn.
