Almost everywhere in the Arab world, people have risen against their rulers.Only in Saudi Arabia is no rebellion in sight. Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri calls on his followers to revolt now in the birthplace of Islam - with little chance of success. In a video posted on Thursday called al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri to the uprising in Saudi Arabia on, the land without even once mention his proper name. The eponymous King Saud family is the illegitimate rulers Zawahiri clan, so is also the name of Saudi Arabia illegally. So the terrorist leader's message is directed instead to "our people in the place of revelation and the cradle of Islam." Slightly longer than six minutes to take the latest video from the al-Qaeda's media department was al-Sahab released. It is the fourth message in a week, with Zawahiri addressed his followers. In the publications condemned the Egyptians, the Koran burns in Afghanistan and sent martial appeals to his followers in Somalia and Yemen. So now Saudi Arabia: For the first time addressed Osama bin Laden's followers in his own speech to the nation on the Arabian Peninsula. He begins his video with historical footage from Saudi Arabia. This question appears: "Why does it not, ye sons of proud and powerful tribes who do not fear death, to throw off oppression and humiliation?" Following are brief excerpts, the King Abdullah to show with dignitaries, the al-Qaeda has declared to be enemies of Islam. Pope Benedict XVI, George W. Bush, Colin Powell and Barack Obama. Then Zawahiri begins his first speech, it is a still image of the innocent white robed in al-Qaida leaders appear. In his right hand he holds a rifle. The 60-year-old is quick to the point: the Arab peoples everywhere have collected for more than a year, "west of you, just south of you, just north of you, but you do not move!"
King Abdullah bought the following
Enraged continues Zawahiri. "My noble brothers, why you are patient with the rule of the Saud It is one of the worst regimes in terms of corruption and depravity." It also would have allowed the royal family, that "the crusaders" - meaning the U.S. military - could come to the birthplace of Islam in order to carry out their attacks from there to Iraq and Afghanistan. "Why did not follow the example of your brethren in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen and Syria, which have risen to hundreds of thousands?" The troops of Saud could not do anything when the people in the Kingdom entschlössen to rebellion and the "state of humiliation" by a "state of Islam" substituted. But a rebellion, as envisaged by Zawahiri, Saudi Arabia is far away. Delicate protests in March 2011, the regime stifled in the bud. The royal family bought the loyalty of his subjects to continue with the old familiar way, gushing oil revenues.King Abdullah ordered a comprehensive benefit package worth the equivalent of 26 billion euros. Among other things, the salaries of government employees were increased by 15 percent. While unemployed, according to unofficial estimates, one in three Saudis under 30 years, but their standard of living is still considerably higher than that of most Egyptians or Syrians who share the same fate. And yet: There is unrest in Saudi Arabia. In the oil-rich Eastern Province, the oppressed Shiite minority regularly goes against the royal family on the road.Since the beginning of last year in clashes between demonstrators and security forces, several people have been killed.
Ayman al-Zawahiri goes on these protests have not a word. If there are people that the Qaeda leader hates even more than the Saudi royal family, then there are Shiites.
