Saudi Arabia and Wahhabis misuse Hajj season to spread their anti-Shia ideologies. Saudi authorities distributed books that call Shia Muslims infidels and apostate.
Hajj is an annual ritual that Muslims attend in Saudi Arabia. It also serves as a conference for Muslim representative from all around the world to exchange ideas, news and plan for the Islamic nations. However Saudi forces use this gathering to spread extremist ideologies. Shia Muslims are the only minority group that faces many limitations and restriction.
During Hajj, Shia Muslims cannot read of their prayer book, they cannot pray according to their faith, they cannot visit their holy sites, most Shia mosques are closed down, and many times they are degraded by the forces in Makkah and Madinah (two most important Muslim holy sites).
Hajj of 2013 was full of Shia rights violations as Shia Muslims faced many difficulties. Saudi Arabia should not use this ritual gathering to spread hatred among Muslims says SRW.
Books and lectures founded by Saudi kingdom and delivered by extremists scholars resulted in death of death, targeted killings, arrestments, insecurity and torture of thousands of Shia Muslims in the world. SRW hold Saudi Arabia responsible for the human rights violations that are taking place around the world. International Courts should investigate and punish all those who advocate and found extremist ideologies.
