The Other Q

Freedom

I’m sorry for telling you this, my people, inside each one of us, there’s a little Wahhabi. In some cases, this little Wahhabi may enlarge to be full one. Wahhabi main theme is intolerance to others. They claim to be the one and only one correct sect in Islam. What if whole Islam was wrong? Never mind.

I could remember many times when I tell people I’m from Qatif, they say: “oh, Qasim!” And I correct it for them. Still I think inside myself, are we alike? Their Wahhabi behavior was based on 3 steps;

1. Intolerance.

2. They are 100% correct.

3. They must change the others to be just like them, peacefully or forcefully.

I think we are scoring 2 and half comparing to them. We stopped being opened-minded. We think everybody else is wrong. And we are trying to change, peacefully so far. The nonviolent approach because we are cowards. Still, is the intolerance something merging recently? I don’t know, but say 30 years ago, there was only one current.

This is an open message of hate. Feel free to sign with me: I hate my community. I’m not Jesus, neither Prophet Mohammed to forgive and talk like an idiot about peace and love. I hate you, one by one, with every attitude you claim to follow. And I can’t stand living my life according to your conditions. Because once you are allowed to control, you transform to be a cancer which controls it all. This is a crazy, but it’s true. Stop thinking big deal of yourselves while you are nothing. To put it in the correct form or false one, it doesn’t matter, as scales are really disturbed in this place. Still, let’s put it again, if you could be any good, you wouldn’t be ruled by Wahhabi’s.

It’s not correct anymore when some arrogant idiot claims we are the best. For your information, ladies and gentlemen, in last 2 decades, the Saudi government spent at least 87 billion dollar (87,000,000$) funding Wahhabi propagation abroad. The main aspect of this petro Islam, beside it is black like petroleum, is targeting mentality. Alas, I think we are a part of the abroad equation and we have been invaded inside our minds. Stop saying we are the best, we drive, think, and behave the best. Also, don’t say we are innocents and crime free. Don’t tell me we are the best race and sect. I have 2 reasons for this request, first one: you say same thing they say in Qasim and Riyadh, they are the best. So, stop talking about yourself, let the talk for others. I spend sometimes with an old Qassimi man; he keeps telling me that Qatif in the last 30 or 40 years was the most peaceful place. Now, in the recent 5 years the crime rate has been increased rapidly. Second reason is we are the worse, believe me we’re. Ok, we’re almost the worse.

Are we targeted? Sheep usually follow their shepherd as long as he/she provides them food and water. So, when you think of yourselves like sheep, you would whimper peacefully and politely, you provide wool, milk, meat, and produce more sheep. All what the shepherd need to provide is food and water. A smart shepherd would give the right amount to make sheep satisfy but in same time hungry. The problem starts later on inside the folk; some of them would hear about Hume and state that you don’t trust a shepherd. Since, at one point he/she may start slaughtering you like a mad man. The other sheep keep thinking good of the shepherd, and they may voluntarily provide some young sheep as a gift for the master.

Are we really sheep? Amm, I don’t know but I think we are sheep and cheap. I am only 25 years old, I am not sure of what I am saying. However, during the previous 20 years, after the revolution sense calmed down, all what has happened is changing dramatically to be like people in Riyadh. No need to mention that Riyadh population is a strange mixture from everywhere in Saudi Arabia, and Qassim precisely.  This is because we think less of ourselves. Folk, if you don’t agree, just don’t agree and keep thinking less of yourself. Either you are male of female look at yourself and start comparing. Gosh, we reached the level of comparing. And to put this back in the right direction I wanna say the following. A community which lacks the leadership, self-dignity, and respect to self and others, doesn’t have the right to control me. It has no right also to involve me in its crazy agenda. I am not a tool for you, idiots.

I sign below to demand living my life, peacefully and independently.
