AssalaamuAlaikum WRWB,
I think calling a scholar as puppet is not appropriate.
These scholars are honorable, it is good that they consumed almost all of their time in learning about the ilm of Qur'an, Hadeeth and Fiqh. But the that also becomes the problem when they are not fully aware of the world politics.
Had the Taliban been aware of the worldly matters too, then they would not had been beaten like that. Otherwise that was the only government on earth which implemented Shariah to its maximum level (even they had drawbacks)
That is what I was talking to brother Hussain Muhammad yesterday, that we have to keep our faith at its peak but if only the prayers and weepings would be working then Palestinians would not be in so much miserable conditions. You have to be prepared in science and politics. Islam provided guidelines for that also.
If Saudi Arabia had to invite America into its land because they could not defend themselves from Saddam then its the fault of Saudis. That is why many many people hate those Oil well owner Arab Sheikhs and send curses on them who just have nothing else to do except building palaces and buying new cars after every few months. Can you answer why was that country so weak and miserable which has the biggest reserves of OIL in the world?
These people did not support science and technology and advancement of education and wise politics, and when they had to face Saddam's pranks then they invited that country which is considered as "Dajjal" by many many scholars. Then why should not people blame those scholars of ignorance of the world politics? I understands that they should not be rude like Brother GP, and should not call any names, they are honorable for us and after all its not the duty of scholars to govern the people but it is duty of the Caliph of Muslims to apply the guidelines of Islam. But then, those scholars are the people to provide guidelines, they have to be very much aware of the worldly matters, the science, technology, strategy and politics. Those scholars should not be fooled by the rulers who claim to be the friend of Dajjal, right?
Again,
1- You have the best scholars in all the Ummah
2- You have the home of Allah (SWT), and Roza of Rasoolullah (SAW)
3- You have huge financial resources in the form of OIL, that you dont have to beg anyone.
Then why are you miserable? Why aren't you one of the worlds most advanced, educated and dominant nation? Why do you have to beg dajjal for help?
Now, last but not the least:
Prophet (SAW) told us to get 'ilm' even if we have to go to China. Now the biggest source of knowledge, ilm (3lm) and learning was our Prophet (SAW) and his companions around. Why did Prophet (SAW) ask to get ilm even if we have to go to China? You better answer me.
If you still are not convinced then I suggest you start a new thread I will answer all your excuses InshaAllah Ta'aalaa
Wassalaam.

Brother/sister island muslim,
You mentioned al Alaama Scheich Bin Baaz Rahimahu llah. What is your opinion about him?
Do you think he is a Puppet?
When was the army allowed to enter saudi Arabie?
Why was it allowed to enter Saudi Arabie?
I think people have to think deeply before they mention anything. people will think bin Baaz Rahimahu llah has allowed the killing muslims who are innocent.
First of all Sadam was declared a Kafir , so he was not a muslim. He entered a Muslim country which was Kuweit. That's one of the reasons America was allowed to enter saudi Arabie to stop the bloodshedding which was started by Saddam who was an kafir because of his Bath believes. Saudi Arabie was not able to stop Sadam.
Now Sadam has died hopefully as a muslim. Some of the scholars i think declared him muslim and Allah knows best. It's between Allah 3za Wajal and him.
Bin baaz Rahimahullah if he was right in this matter he gets two rewards and if he was wrong he gets one reward. This is one of the rules regarding the trustworthy ulema who have done their ijtihaad. He who is right has two rewards and he who is wrong has one reward.
In this regard Rahimahu llah can not be blamed for this, he was trustworthy and wanted to stop bloodshedding of muslims who are in Kuweit by Sadam who was declared a Kafir because of his bath believes.
And he used some of the evidences which makes clear it's allowed to ask help of non muslim when you are not able to prevent on your own evil which is worser.
And Allah knows best. You have always to know the reason. You hae always to tell people why something is done and when?
At that Time afghanistan was not invaded by america and also what is happening in IraQ was not known.
There was also a time america helped afganistan against the Russians. And the afghans accepted the help.
