Tales have
emerged from America linking the 9/11 attacks to Saudi Arabia at the same time
that tales are also emerging from Burma linking the Arakan Rohingya Salvation
Army (ARSA) to the same country (Saudi Arabia). In recent times, the Muslim
world has been awakened to the reality that the Saudi government is not as
important to the Muslim world as earlier believed. Some Muslims even see the
Saudi government as a liability to the Muslim world. The number of Muslims
holding this view is growing quickly. But, what does this mean for Saudi Arabia’s
greatest ally; America? America has been able to get away with heinous crimes
in the Muslim world due to its good rapport with the Saudis; invading and air-striking
any Muslim country at will. Should Saudi Arabia lose its status as the ‘leader
of the Muslim world’, dabbling in the affairs of Muslim states will become
difficult for the Americans. On September 11th 2001, nineteen
highjackers all said to be Saudi nationals carried out a massacre of around 3,000
civilians in America. Owing to the nationalities of the highjackers, the world
expected a military invasion of Saudi Arabia by America only to see an invasion
of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Not that alone, ties between America and
Saudi Arabia waxed stronger. Did America ever investigate Saudi involvement in
9/11 or was it all a plan by America and her allies to get the opium fields
from the Taliban? We are ever moving closer to the truth. A large segment of
Muslims felt no sympathy for America over 9/11 since America has killed
countless Muslims directly or indirectly since World War 11. This is the reason
for the huge popularity Osama bin Laden enjoyed in some Muslim circles. 9/11 is
the bait here- ‘blame 9/11 on Saudi
Arabia, this will buy the love and loyalty of Muslims for Saudi Arabia and the
kingdom will silence any Muslim who speaks against American atrocities in
Muslim nations by keeping silent themselves’.
The same
mind game is been played by linking ARSA in Burma to Saudi Arabia. Muslims the
world over have become attracted to any news item carrying the word ‘Rohingya’
out of sympathy. Should it be said that a particular country is assisting the
Rohingya Muslims defend themselves from oppression, that country would
definitely become a Muslims’ favorite. If that country turns out to be Saudi
Arabia; that will mean unconditional love and loyalty for and to the Saudis
from Muslims and ultimately; silence of Muslims on anything Saudi Arabia and
America are silent on.
To clear the
doubts of the world’s inhabitants, we expect to see changes in the policies of
world’s superpowers towards Saudi Arabia if these allegations are confirmed to
be true or even go on. We expect to see American sanctions (if not military
action) against Saudi Arabia, we also expect to see similar sanctions from China
(a close ally of Burma). Annual trade
between America and Saudi Arabia reached $62 billion in 2015 while that between
China and the Saudis reached $74 billion in 2012. If these mind-boggling
figures do not drop soon, then the so-called allegations are a farce.
