Will ISIS Attack Jenadriyah In KSA?

KABUL: (MEP) Saudi Arabia continues to celebrate Jenadriyah controversial festivals after three decades of celebration under cultural titles near the capital, Riyadh.

Saudi Arabia holds these festivals under the auspices of the Saudi monarch and under the supervision of the Saudi Arabian National Guard and the Saudi Grand Mufti in an event considered by many experts as Riyadh’s opportunity to present a distorted version of the Saudi bitter reality concomitant with and side-lining of the social protests in the Saudi media.

As the Saudi grand Mufti and ISIS terrorist group prohibit celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Abdulrahman bin Abdulaziz Al-Sudais, the General President for Affairs of the Grand Mosque and Prophet’s Mosque, considered preserving the Jenadriyah festivals as a necessity due to what he described as its religious, cultural and national roots.

Given that the management of these festivals take place under the gazing Saudi eyes leads to intense presence of the citizens –which the Saudi regime considered it as popular support -, Saudi authorities shows no attention to cases of corruption and moral scandals taking place in these celebrations during the past years.

This duality comes as the Saudi authorities acknowledge women’s driving in Saudi Arabia as a moral scandal, whereas mixing and dancing under the Saudi and in front of Salman bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud the Saudi King’s image find the support of radical clerics in the country as long as it shows a different picture of the Saudi regime and enhances its position in the media.

In the same context in Iraq and Syria, watching football matches and anti-ISIS channels, not to mention smoking and trying to travel without ISIS permission and even usual religious ceremonies in the areas controlled by ISIS face penalties like execution. Observers wonder that on which basis the terrorist organization show compassion and gentleness towards the Saudi celebrations Jenadriyah that it is followed by dancing, imbibing alcohol and gambling.

The myriad of similarities between ISIS terrorist organization and Saudi Arabia, reveals the fact that they are from same roots and from one school of thought. Therefore, ISIS terrorists would not care about events in Riyadh, Jeddah and Al Khobar that disregard the fatwas of scholars and ignore the advisers of the committee for the promotion of virtue in Saudi Arabia and will continue to punish watching football matches in al-Riqqa!
