The Strong Old Ties Between Saudi Arabia and The ben Laden Family

Date back to the Days of King Abdul Aziz

The ties between ben Laden the father and Saudi Arabia started during the nineteen thirties of the last century. The Saudis being unable to pay the salaries of the government employees, they resorted to borrowing money from ben Laden the father to pay the salaries during most of the year, they then paid the debt back after the pilgrimage season, when the pilgrimage fees were collected and the state received the Egyptian “Mahmal  purse.”

 

However, after 1945, and the availability of oil revenues became available, and they were even considerably inflated after 1974. The Saudi state stared to pay ben Laden the father back for his previous favours. He was granted massive construction projects without agreements on pre fixed prices. A “Cost plus” pay system was adopted. Monstrous inflations of costs resulted from offering prodigious “gifts” to the government projects controllers. They were told that what they were given were “gift” and not bribes, and they were always reminded that the prophet himself accepted gifts.

 

The obvious result was an enormous proliferation of ben Laden’s wealth, to the extent that every one of his 13 male children acquired massive fortunes. No one knows how much did the female children acquire. This, despite the fact that ben Laden was from Hadramout and not a Saudi national. He was also granted an honorary Saudi nationality as a reward for his lending the government money for so many years.

 

We hope that God protects Saudi Arabia against the evils of the ben Laden’s sons, since Ossama will not rest before the dethrones the sons of Saud, and claims the title of “The Custadian of the Two Holly Shrines” for himself rather than seeing them bestowed upon King Fahd. Of course always having the support of the Ulama, the fabrication of religious fatwas (edicts), claiming the Wahabi principle, and their determined spread of terror and murder all over the world, thereby forcibly converting  the whole world to Wahhabi Islam(?)

 

At this juncture, it is worthwhile to mention that Ossama ben Laden inundated such characters as Sheikh Shaarawi with villas and expensive cars, as well as many of the leading figures in Egypt in the media, state security, intelligence, and President Mobark’s inner circle, who sold their souls and honours to become the slaves of the Wahabi dollars. This goes on, while poor Egypt always pays the ultimate price.

 

We ask almighty God to save Egypt from this Wahabi onslaught.
