Orang Shia di Saudi itu emang ditindas oleh pemerintahnya.
Dulu gua pernah ngomong spt itu ke orang Shia di Saudi, mereka jawab dgn bilang bukan mereka yg ngomong gitu, maksudnya mereka mereka ga berani ngomongin soal begitu, tp dlm hati aja dan mereka setuju dgn omongan gua. Kenapa ga ada satu ekor muslim di milis ini yg ngoceh soal penindasan Saudi ke orang Islam ini? >________________________________ >From: Sunny <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Thursday, October 6, 2011 11:46 PM >Subject: [proletar] Saudi Arabia threatens 'iron fist' after Shiite town >attacks > > > >http://www.smh.com.au/world/saudi-arabia-threatens-iron-fist-after-shiite-town-attacks-20111005-1l9m4.html >Saudi Arabia threatens 'iron fist' after Shiite town attacks >Glen Carey >October 6, 2011 >DUBAI: Saudi Arabia vowed to use ''an iron fist'' after 11 members of the >security forces were injured during unrest in a Shiite Muslim town in the >east, the official Saudi press agency said. > >The government accused an unnamed foreign country of seeking to undermine the >stability of the kingdom as a result of the violence in Awwamiya, in which the >assailants, some on motorcycles, used machine guns and Molotov cocktails, the >Riyadh news service reported on Tuesday.
