I am all for the evidence, bring it up.
The context of my post is simple, Saud is a regime that came into existence due to a favor offered to them in exchange of ending caliphate.
I suggest you read the causes and pretext to the WW1 and how Balfour declaration was indirectly related to it. Sauds have betrayed the ummah big time. They can be anything but they dont represent Islam by any stretch of imagination.
Excuse me sir, but you are in serious need of reading some accurate history books.
First of all KSA was NEVER a colony of anyone. Unlike many other Arab countries and some other states that are discussed in this thread. Nor Britain nor France. Our borders were not drawn. In fact it was the work of the Ikhwan, Al-Saud and the tribes loyal to them. In fact the British had to stop them in Kuwait and elsewhere otherwise much more land would be conquered.
Secondly Al-Saud nor KSA had anything to do with the Balfour declaration.
Lastly many forget that we Arabs ruled as Caliphs for the first nearly 1000 years of Islamic history. Under the Golden Age of Islam and during a period when Islam spread all over the world. From the Rashidun to the Umayyad to the Fatimid and Abbasid etc. The Ottoman Turks just took a finished product and copied it so to speak.
Why is it that you do not see us Arabs crying about Turks stealing "our" Caliphate 450 years ago after their cousins the Mongols sacked Baghdad and the Abbasids had to rule as nominal Caliphs from Cairo after the Sacking of Baghdad in 1258 until the early 1500's. Ordinary Muslims don't understand the devastation that followed for the Muslim world. It is still felt today. That is a long discussion though not really tied to this thread.
Surprinsgly we never hear about that part of history. Those people critical of Arabs for that reason should get over it and remember their own past and copying of culture/system. It is really pathetic.
Besides all those rulers were more Sultans than actual Caliphs and if you read about them you would know how many un-Islamic things they engaged in. That also goes for the later Arab Caliphs be they Fatimids or Abbasids.
You probably know why we Sunni Muslims only consider 4 Caliphs as the rightly guided ones. That is for a reason.
Otherwise known as the Rashidun. The persons who laid all the fundaments for the Islamic world including the later Caliphates.
You are welcome.
EDIT: Oh, did I mention that the Al-Saud ruled parts of Najd long before any European involvement in the Middle East directly in the form of colonies?
No, I am not particular fond of the House of Saud nor am I a worshipper of them as some have called 1-2 Saudis here. I am just stating some historical facts to show you and others that you are not correct.
