I do not have issues with anyone criticizing KSA for issuing a message in support of Mr Mubarak. He is without doubt a tyrant who has been instrumental in corruption in Egypt and causing distress to people of Egypt by persecuting some citizens. I myself do not agree with anyone supporting him or issuing a statement of support on his behalf and that includes KSA.
However, Aapa or anyone here has no right to defame a muslim country or it's people by calling them a friend of the 'zionist'. (she has done it before as well and hurt people's sentiments) It is very hurtful for people who have contributed so diligently and sincerely to the cause of Palestinians and the govt of KSA and it's people have certainly among the top contributors in aiding the Palestinian people financially. Their official position from their ministers is also critical of the govt of Israel in their inhumane treatment of Palestinian people.
So this childish propaganda against KSA only exposes the close mindedness and bigoted views that translate in to taking parting shots at a country at every opportunity. It needs to stop.
As for the protests, as I previously asked but didn't get many responses on this thread. I would consult with the scholars before supporting or being against open protest on the streets. And I haven't seen any posts here related to it bar one link/post.
Regardless, I pray for the safety of the people of Egypt. May Allah azz zawajal guide us all and keep us firm on His deen. Ameen

Dear brother,Calling somebody childish who might be as old as your mother is really infuriating to a lot of us.
I shall respectfully ask you not to do that to avoid turning this thread into another a battlefield,please don't.
I am asking this of you with a lot of restraint.
Know that you are here discussing among your brothers and sisters who's last wish is to harm you or make you feel discomfort in any way,but who might feel very anxious ,hopeful and passionate on what is happening in Egypt.
For some even personally attached to this because of It's symbolics.This situation here has far bigger significance than Egypt itself.
We have pictures of Iraq,Afghanistan,Palestine,Abu Ghraib,Guantanamo and all the other incidents that resulted from the lack of dignity and respect this kind of political systems gave to their citizens.
It is time to reclaim the fact that we Muslims are human beings and that no power in this world has the right to dehumanize us for any purpose as cynical as it might be.
If you do not agree with what one might say close and eye, move on and express yourself as you wish within the limits of the thread's subject.
May Allah Azza wa Jall give all of us Sabr and ameen to your Duaa for the Egyptian brothers and sisters.
PS.Me too I didn't hear anything coming from scholars except the one from whom you have rejected the view point .
Which said that people had legitimate claims but that they should avoid harming public institutions and belongings as they are after all theirs and remain peaceful.
He also addressed Mubarak directly advising him to wisely step down and leave the country before the people catch him.That as far as I can remember.
