A senior cleric in Islam’s holiest city Makkah exhorted followers on Friday to support Syrian rebels by “all means”, the latest in a series of rhetorical attacks on President Bashar Al Assad reflecting rising sectarian tension across the Middle East.
In a sermon to worshippers at Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mosque in Makkah, Sunni Shaikh Saoud Al Shuraym denounced Al Assad as a tyrant whose troops he said had raped women, killed children and destroyed homes over the past two years.
“All of that puts on the shoulder of each one of us a share of responsibility before God, on leaders, rulers, scholars, reformers, thinkers and people to take a unified and conscious stand against the mad (crackdown) on our brothers in Syria,” Shuraym said in a sermon broadcast on Saudi state television.
“By God..., our brothers need more efforts and determination to be exerted to remove the merciless injustice and aggression through all means and with no exceptions,” he told followers. “We tell our brothers in the Levant to be patient.”
Saudi Arabia, has been a major financial patron of rebels fighting to oust Al Assad.
As if Saudis need more encouragement,the bastards are already waging jihad all over the world!
