US Delays Religious Freedom Sanctions on Oil-Rich Riyadh
Riyadh, which controls one-fourth of the world's proven oil reserves, supplies
the US with 15 percent of its oil imports.
Koment TaufikMalin;
Alhamdulillah, dengan bantuan USA mudah2an golongan islam minoritas seperti
Syiah, Sufi, ahmadiah, Tabhligh dll akan merdeka mejalankan dakwahnya di Saudi
Arabia. Yang selama ini ulama2 Radikal Wahhabi melarang golongan2 islam
minoritas untuk berdakwah dengan dalil ajaran sesat.ratusan tahun ulama2
wahhabi menzolimi dan mengusir golongan2 islam Syaih,Sufi, Ahmadiah dll.
Sekarang di Indonesia MUI juga melarang golongan2 islam minoritas yang tidak
sepaham dgn MUI.
Sesungguhnya Ulama2 wahhabi selama ini mengingkari perintah Allah tentang
kebebasan untuk berdawah, berbicara dan menjalankan agamanya menurut keyakinan
masing2.
Mudah2an MUI akan memberikan kebebasan berdakwah, dan mejalankan agamanya
sesuai dengan keyakinan masing masing orang sebelum diberi sanksi.Inilah salah
satu hikmah peristiwa 11 september...Kemerdekaan beragama di Saudi Arabia dan
Indonesia..akan mulai dan mudah2an umat Islam akan bersatu untuk mengatas
kemiskinan dari pada habis waktu memikirkan keyakinan orang lain, dan takut
golongan orang lain akan menang dan berkuasa dsb.
Mudah2an MUI dan ulama2 radikal Indonesia juga mengikuti perintah2 Allah untuk
setiap orang merdeka menjalankan agamanya masing2 walaupun berbeda dengan MUI.
Sebelum Amerika memberikan sangsi kepada Indonesia, sebaiknya MUI cepat2
mereformasi Fatwanya baru baru ini yaitu mengharamkan golongan islam LIberal,
Pluralism, ahmadiah, dan jemaah yang bershalat bahasa Indonesia.
Kalau MUI bisa memahami ini, saya yakin sekali masarakat Islam tidak akan lagi
saling sesat menyesatkan dan tuduh menuduh, tapi saling berlomba lomba berbuat
kebaikan dan mengatasi ekonomi bangsa Indonesia yang makin sulit ini. Kita
sudah capek melihat dimana ulama2 islam saling sesat menyesat. Berilah setiap
orang memilih agama dan keyakinannya, karena kemerdekaan itu adalah hak setiap
manusia yang diberikan oleh Allah kepada kita. Hidupini adalah testing bagi
setiap orang, mau jalan Allah silakan, kalau tidak mau ikut silakan, nanti
Allah yang akan menghukumnya, bukan ulama2.
Saudi Arabia diberi waktu 6 bulan untuk memberikan HAK KEMERDEKAAN BERAGAMA.
Kalau tidak saudi Arabia akan diberi sangsi berat dari negara2 International.
Saya berdoa semoga Allah memberkahi dan menjadikan umat Islam sedunia hidup
rukun dan damai antara sesama islam dan non Islam amin
Wassalam.Selamat membaca..
WASHINGTON, October 1, 2005 (Islamnet & News Agencies) The US decided Friday,
September 30, to postpone by six months sanctions against Saudi Arabia over its
alleged violations of religious minority rights, as skyrocketing oil prices
threatened to crimp US economic growth.
"The waiver is a temporary measure that allows us to continue discussions
leading to progress on important religious freedom issues," State Department
spokeswoman Amanda Rogers-Harper told Agence France-Presse (AFP).
He, however, acknowledged that the kingdom has so far failed to make major
strides in re-establishing the rights of its religious minorities.
"Non-Muslims and minority Muslims are still subject to discrimination,
harassment and detention because of their beliefs," Rogers-Harper charged.
Last year, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, an agency
established by Congress to promote religious freedom, for the first time
designated Saudi Arabia a country "of particular concern".
It accused Riyadh of backing anti-Jewish and anti-Christian campaigns,
torturing non-Muslims and discriminating against Shiites and other Muslims who
do not adhere to the officially sanctioned Wahhabi school.
The Saudi government has repeatedly rejected the charges as unfounded.
The designation, introduced into US diplomatic practice by the 1998
International Religious Freedom Act, usually entails severe penalties,
including economic sanctions, if the designated country fails to quickly clean
up its act.
But the law also gives the secretary of state the right to waive action, if
higher US national interests are at stake.
In contrast to its decision on Saudi Arabia, the United States decided to
sanction Eritrea by banning military exports to the Horn of Africa country,
Reuters said.
Eye on Oil
The postponement decision reflects the delicate balance Washington has sought
to strike with Arab allies, such as Riyadh, as it promotes expanding freedoms
at the risk of irking governments needed to support its oil and terrorism
policies, Reuters said.
Saudi Arabia controls one-fourth of the world's proven oil reserves and, as a
leading OPEC member, has a major say in determining production quotas and,
subsequently, prices.
During the first five months of this year, the kingdom supplied the United
States with 1.5 million barrels of oil a day, which is roughly 15 percent of
all US oil imports, AFP quoted US energy officials as saying.
President George W. Bush urged Americans on Monday, September 26, to save fuel
by driving less as already record high gas prices threatened to go through the
roof in the wake of two major hurricanes that hit the US Gulf of Mexico coast,
a major oil producing region, since the end of August.
Twelve refineries accounting for nearly one-fifth of the country's
oil-processing capacity remain shut down following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita,
the US Congress said on Friday, warning that half of them could remain closed
for several months.
Deutsche Bank analyst Adam Sieminski told AFP it was a "staggering loss of
product" that is likely to reverberate through the US economy as gas prices,
already topping three dollars a gallon in many regions, lurch even higher.
