American Muslims are standing up to Saudi Arabia by holding a protest on Friday, July 24th, 2015 at 4:30 pm in front of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington D.C.
Washington, DC, July 23, 2015 (Newswire.com) - American Muslims across United States of America will be commemorating the start of the destruction of heritage sites by marking the anniversary of the demolition of the shrines in Baqee, a cemetery in Medina, Saudi Arabia where Prophet Mohammed’s children, wives, companions and other relatives are buried.
Since the destruction of Baqee in 1925, the cemetery has become a symbol of atrocities and brutality committed by Saudi Arabia and like-minded terrorist organizations such as ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Al-Nusra, Lashker-e-Taiba, Lashker-e-Jahangvi, Sipah-e-Sahaba, Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab and all its offshoots. These atrocities are a direct result of the Wahabi (Salafi) sect, followed and promoted by Saudi Arabia, which has no room for tolerance or peace anywhere on the planet.
American Muslims are standing up to Saudi Arabia by holding a protest on Friday, July 24th, 2015 at 4:30 pm in front of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington D.C.
The Baqee Organization is urging our, American, government to release a formal condemnation against the oppressive activities happening within Saudi Arabia and its funding of terrorist activities throughout the world. As a strong ally of the United States, Saudi Arabia should be held accountable to values of tolerance and respect for its citizens and visitors.
Muslims from across the United States will stand in solidarity with the embattled citizens of Saudi Arabia. Similar protests are scheduled to be held at Saudi Arabia Consulates at Los Angeles, Houston and New York in United States and at Saudi Arabian Embassy in Ottawa, Canada. We, the Baqee Organization, extend an invitation to all people of conscience to protest overt and/or covert forms of terrorism. The Protest will be held on Friday, July 24, 2015 from 4:30pm-6pm at the Royal Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia located at 601 New Hampshire Ave, NW Washington, DC 20037.
