| Iraqi MP: Saudi Envoy in Baghdad to Support ISIL |
| 2016-06-25 |
| [EN.FARSNEWS] A senior Iraqi politician called on his government to take serious measures against the Saudi Ambassador to Baghdad, and said that Thamer al-Sabhan is in Iraq to support the ISIS Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorist group. "The reinstatement of al-Sabhan in Baghdad is meant to support the ISIS," the Arabic-language media outlets quoted member of the Iraqi Parliament's Foreign Relations Committee Mesal al-Alousi as saying on Thursday. He underlined that Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... meddles in the internal affairs of all the regional countries, and said, "For the same reason the Iraqi government should confront that country's ambassador to Baghdad." "Saudi Arabia claims that it respects the Iraqi people and Shiites, but it supports the ISIS," Al-Alousi said. On Sunday, Iraqi Foreign Minister Ebrahim al-Jafari slammed Saudi ambassador's remarks about Iran’s role in the Arab country, including its advisory assistance to fight Takfiri holy warriors. Al-Jafari's remarks came in reaction to al-Sabhan's meddling in his country's internal affairs. "The Saudi envoy's comments represent flagrant meddling in Iraq's domestic affairs and run counter to standard diplomatic norms," al-Jafari said. In a Twitter post, Sabhan wrote that Iranian military advisers were in Fallujah to incite sectarian violence and change the demographic composition of the city. The Saudi ambassador's repeated meddling in Iraq's internal affairs came after Iraqi troops retook Fallujah from the Saudi-backed ISIS hard boyz on Friday and prepared to retake djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the last Takfiri bastion in the country. The Iraqi Foreign Ministry summoned Sabhan "to inform him of its official protest regarding his divisive ...politicians call things divisivewhen when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive,they're principled... statements." The ministry said Baghdad would not allow anyone to stoke divisions in the country through making sectarian comments. Baghdad also said it would not allow Riyadh to draw Iraq into the kingdom's conflict with Tehran. Iraqi officials have at times stated that Iranian military advisers are in the Arab country at the request of Baghdad. |
