EP#81: Why is Saudi Cracking Down on Gaza Solidarity at Umrah?

In a shocking turn of events, the Saudi authorities have embarked on a crackdown targeting Muslims expressing solidarity with Gaza and Palestine during Umrah. Flags, keffiyehs, and even supplications for fellow brethren in Palestine have become grounds for detention and questioning. Join us in this eye-opening episode as we delve into the treacherous and shameful actions of the Saudi authorities. Is this repression a consequence of their relentless pursuit of normalisation with "Israel"? Our special guest, who witnessed this clampdown firsthand during their recent Umrah pilgrimage, provides invaluable insights into the unsettling reality unfolding in the land of the two holiest mosques. Tune in as we uncover the motivations behind this disturbing behaviour and its implications for Muslims worldwide.

Still got last 15 mins to finish but thoroughly enjoying this episode Masha’Allah. The point you made about the devastating effect of the colonial borders, especially highlighted during the Gaza genocide with the Rafah crossing border etc, is a really good way of looking at it. Destruction of the state and then Sykes-Picot was truly devastating

Jazakallah khayr for your comment akhi! Its a very important point... we must look back at history so that we can understand why the Muslims lands look like they do today.

May Allah aid us in changing, life is very short and no doubt we will be questioned about our sins, our neglect of issues affecting the ummah in reference to our capability/limits .

I Sultan (King) Abdul Aziz son of Abdul Rahman Al-Faisal Al-Saud acknowledge and admit a thousand times to sir Percy Cox, Great Britain’s Ambassador, that I do not mind to give Palestine to the poor Jews or others as deemed fit by Britain which I do not contradict in opinion and that until the hour comes.
