[00:00:01] the circle of enmity to include religious
[00:00:04] and Islamic institutions.
[00:00:08] amount of explosives from incites crime in Allow me, before I answer this point, to support Sheikh Muhammad's point regarding
[00:00:12] the denial. First, the Houthis did not
[00:00:16] deny the bombing. Let's discuss the issue
[00:00:18] logically. First, the Houthis did not deny bombing
[00:00:21] the Kingdom. So the bombing is agreed upon between
[00:00:24] both parties. The only dispute is where they hit.
[00:00:28] Well, if you are fighting Saudi Arabia, fight
[00:00:31] within Saudi Arabia, between Mecca and the Yemeni border, a thousand kilometers. Why hit
[00:00:34] the border of the war? This clearly indicates
[00:00:39] Khomeini, Ali Khamenei, this that there is an intention, purpose, insistence, and premeditation to bomb
[00:00:42] the Two Holy Mosques. Well, if you want to bomb
[00:00:46] military areas, there are no military areas except in the western region of Saudi
[00:00:50] Arabia, which is closest to you. This is illogical,
[00:00:53] contrary to military logic, realistic logic, and the logic that people
[00:00:57] already know. We live in one place, and each of us knows
[00:01:01] the locations of this matter. The second
[00:01:06] and they cannot matter is that the sanctuary has certain boundaries. Yes. So the audacity
[00:01:09] and proximity to these boundaries, O man, Christians
[00:01:13] sanctify the Vatican to the point that they made it a holy
[00:01:17] state. And entering it
[00:01:21] is done with rituals. Even if the American president enters it, his wife wears
[00:01:23] the hijab, and it is several kilometers in
[00:01:26] the Vatican. And this Houthi terrorism does not give
[00:01:30] any weight to what
[00:01:32] Is there any movement with Muslims hold dear. As for the other bodies,
[00:01:34] whether it was Al-Azhar, the institution of
[00:01:37] organizations to benefit from Al-Azhar Al-Sharif,
[00:01:39] or the Permanent Committee of
[00:01:43] the Council of Senior Scholars in Saudi Arabia, or the Yemeni Scholars
[00:01:46] Association, as we said, from the beginning, he considers all
[00:01:50] these bodies to be hypocritical, infidel, treacherous,
[00:01:54] outside of Islam. They believe that unless they
[00:01:57] believe in the principle of Wilayah, they have no part in Islam, as one of
[00:02:01] the speakers close to Hussein Al-Houthi, the deceased, said: Even if they
[00:02:04] pray, fast, and perform Hajj, unless
[00:02:08] the Houthis. And similarly, many they accept the principle of Wilayah, it will not benefit them. So the belief is a bad
[00:02:11] belief. The starting point is a bad Therefore, these are the fruits of
[00:02:15] that starting point. Yes, yes.
[00:02:17] starting from So, Sheikh Muhammad, the Houthi militia is now
[00:02:22] Yemeni blood. Therefore, from expanding its discourse and the circle of attack to include
[00:02:24] Saudi Arabia and Al-Azhar. And other bodies have also
[00:02:28] condemned this attack. They talked
[00:02:32] about holding accountable those who spread the accusation. Do you see this as
[00:02:35] an attempt to shift the discussion from the course of the march and its goal to
[00:02:39] attacking the parties that adopted the Saudi
[00:02:42] narrative?
[00:02:45] a law criminalizing this No, they found that there were angry
[00:02:48] reactions, especially from religious
[00:02:51] institutions and Islamic
[00:02:54] centers, and demonstrations took place in
[00:02:57] some Islamic countries. So they tried to avoid this matter,
[00:03:01] and therefore they came out with such
[00:03:04] denial. I would add that
[00:03:07] why do they attack, for example, Al-Azhar institution? Imagine
[00:03:11] that they attacked
[00:03:15] the Palestinian Scholars Association,
[00:03:17] even though they boast that they are with Palestine, and
[00:03:21] when the Palestinian Scholars Association issued that statement
[00:03:24] that said
[00:03:27] that the Houthis are the ones who shed
[00:03:30] the blood of Yemenis and that their stance
[00:03:34] with Gaza does not grant them a certificate
[00:03:36] caution be exercised against of absolution in this or permission or passport
[00:03:40] in the world. Many universities, especially in to oppress the people of Yemen
[00:03:43] attacked the Haram in the fourth and shed their blood. So they came out, and some of them said that this
[00:03:46] statement was prepared by Netanyahu. Imagine
[00:03:49] how far their audacity has reached. So they are now
[00:03:55] and the Sulayhid state in thinking that the religious
[00:03:57] centers and religious institutions
[00:04:01] are the ones that are destroying their superstitions
[00:04:04] with evidence
[00:04:07] and proof. Therefore, they
[00:04:10] consider religious institutions,
[00:04:13] Quranic centers, mosques,
[00:04:17] preachers, scholars, and callers to be their main
[00:04:21] enemies. And as your esteemed guest pointed out
[00:04:25] - I don't know who he is because I didn't come in - Dr. Yasser
[00:04:28] Al-Najjar, a member of
[00:04:32] the voices of the cry of the Houthis, when they first came in, they started
[00:04:35] attacking religious centers.
[00:04:40] the Black Stone from Because they consider these to be the source of light that dispels
[00:04:44] their darkness. So they focused all their efforts on
[00:04:48] eliminating them. And they turned
[00:04:51] these centers into security centers and into
[00:04:54] centers for undermining
[00:04:56] the creed, the creed of monotheism, and the Islamic identity.
[00:05:00] of holy sites is indivisible, just as Therefore, it is no surprise, I mean, it is no
[00:05:04] surprise that they are committing this
[00:05:08] criminal act. Well, Sheikh Muhammad, where does Iran stand in the House of Representatives'
[00:05:12] reading of this
[00:05:13] escalation?
[00:05:16] Iran is the one that
[00:05:19] Yemen. Iran is a foregone conclusion.
[00:05:23] We, in the House of Representatives, have issued many statements
[00:05:26] and discussed this topic. Also, we, in the Yemeni Scholars
[00:05:30] Association, and I
[00:05:33] visited last time, two days ago, I visited
[00:05:36] يوم امس زرت
[00:05:38] the International Union of Muslim Scholars.
[00:05:43] We delivered a message to them and explained
[00:05:46] to many religious bodies the Iranian role,
[00:05:49] which is the export of its project. So Iran
[00:05:53] is the primary driver
[00:05:56] of chaos in Muslim countries. It
[00:05:59] is the one that, ever since Khomeini came on a French
[00:06:03] plane, through British intelligence, to
[00:06:07] Tehran, they detonated this
[00:06:09] bomb within the Islamic world. For the sake of
[00:06:13] monotheism and the suppression of Islam,
[00:06:18] do that. But Iran is at the
[00:06:22] heart of the problem, and it is the basis
[00:06:26] of this problem that Yemen, Syria, Lebanon,
[00:06:29] and Iraq have gone through. So our statements were
[00:06:33] clear and focused on this. Sheikh
[00:06:35] Muhammad, apart from the condemnation statements, what
[00:06:39] can the House of Representatives do practically?
[00:06:44] Arab and Islamic parliaments or international
[00:06:49] government reports and prosecute those responsible for these
[00:06:53] violations? No, I have made many
[00:06:56] visits to
[00:07:00] Arab, Islamic, and international
[00:07:02] parliaments. We also participated in parliamentary
[00:07:06] conferences, and we presented, through the parliamentary
[00:07:09] delegation of Yemen, the issue
[00:07:13] of Yemen in detail
[00:07:14] and its dimensions.
[00:07:18] And praise be to God, there is international parliamentary
[00:07:21] support for the Yemeni Parliament
[00:07:24] and the Yemeni legislative institutions and the Yemeni legitimacy.
[00:07:28] And there was also a role
[00:07:31] for our brothers in the Saudi Shura Council
[00:07:35] that also contributed to delivering
[00:07:38] our message.
[00:07:41] And our meetings with these international parliaments, may God reward them
[00:07:44] well. So I mean the parliament plays this role,
[00:07:48] and we await, God willing, the liberation,
[00:07:51] and we will meet, and the first law I
[00:07:54] will demand is
[00:07:58] sectarian ideology
[00:08:00] and this group and those who follow
[00:08:04] their path, because it has truly destroyed
[00:08:07] Yemen, and there must be a legal
[00:08:10] stance
[00:08:13] that prevents such prevents this disaster
[00:08:16] from returning to Yemen once again.
[00:08:20] Yes, thank you very much, Sheikh Mohammed
[00:08:23] Al-Hazmi, Member of Parliament. So we return to you,
[00:08:27] Dr. Riyasah Al-Najjar, to discuss all these accusations
[00:08:31] that the Houthi militia has denied, of targeting
[00:08:35] Mecca Al-Mukarramah. There are those who link this behavior
[00:08:38] to broader ideological and doctrinal
[00:08:42] backgrounds. What can be scientifically proven
[00:08:45] link, and where should sectarian
[00:08:49] generalization?
[00:08:52] If we look at who
[00:08:55] Hijri century, when
[00:08:58] the Shiites considered it their Golden Age,
[00:09:02] and the Fatimid state in Egypt, and the Shiite state in Bahrain,
[00:09:07] Yemen, all of these were Shiite states.
[00:09:09] Because the Shiite
[00:09:12] sect has more than 14
[00:09:15] groups, the most extreme and severe
[00:09:18] in excommunicating Muslims and killing them are
[00:09:20] the Batinis who were the founders of the Fatimid state in Egypt,
[00:09:24] and among them
[00:09:27] at that time was Abu Ali Al-Jannabi,
[00:09:29] who tried to enter Mecca with his soldiers,
[00:09:33] and they told him, they prevented him from doing so.
[00:09:36] So he gave a covenant and a promise not to violate the sanctity of the Haram. But when he entered with his soldiers,
[00:09:40] he signaled to them to use their swords, and they killed 30
[00:09:43] thousand pilgrims, and the pilgrims scattered in the valleys and ravines
[00:09:46] to save themselves. So this is the first aggressor against the Haram, and
[00:09:50] they even took
[00:09:53] the Haram and destroyed the door of the Kaaba. This is what I remember
[00:09:56] also in the statement of the Council of Scholars.
[00:10:00] This is a beginning. And if we also consider another group from the Shiite
[00:10:04] Twelver Shiites and the current rulers of Iran,
[00:10:07] they committed aggression against the Haram in 1407, related to
[00:10:11] the bombings that were carried out by
[00:10:15] some Shiites, whether those holding Arab nationalities or others.
[00:10:18] And also the attacks and bombings around the Haram in 1409.
[00:10:21] And these were claimed by Iran
[00:10:25] and the Iranian delegation at that time. And how many,
[00:10:28] I mean, the Saudi security authorities managed to seize a large
[00:10:33] the pilgrims who came in the name of pilgrims, who were the Iranian
[00:10:36] Revolutionary Guard. So if we also go back to
[00:10:40] some recordings of the deceased Qassem Soleimani and Abu Ali
[00:10:43] Al-Muhandis, when some people asked him, while he was killing Syrians after
[00:10:46] Damascus, "Shall we go to Tel Aviv?", he said, "No, to Riyadh, to
[00:10:50] Mecca." So this is their ideology and method.
[00:10:52] The Iranian project is a destructive
[00:10:56] project, and it considers that
[00:11:00] the deceased Ali Khamenei, when - I mean, Khamenei and the late
[00:11:04] last one, in his last statement, said that
[00:11:08] our war with the followers of Yazid will continue until the Day of Judgment,
[00:11:12] with these exact words. They do not see the Zionist enemy as anything
[00:11:14] but a scapegoat to cleanse
[00:11:18] themselves with the Palestinian cause. Otherwise,
[00:11:21] that they must first subjugate the Islamic world to their control.
[00:11:25] Yes, well, when talking about the sanctity of Mecca
[00:11:28] and also mosques and holy places, where does
[00:11:32] the sanctity of Yemeni blood fit into this equation?
[00:11:35] A good question, and this is what I actually wanted to talk about. Ibn
[00:11:39] Omar looked at the Kaaba and said, "How great
[00:11:42] you are, and how sacred you are to God. And to destroy
[00:11:45] the Kaaba, stone by stone, is easier for
[00:11:48] God than to shed the blood of a Muslim unjustly."
[00:11:52] Now, the Houthis
[00:11:55] have caused the death of more than half a million
[00:11:59] Yemeni Muslims. They have caused the displacement of this.
[00:12:02] These are international statistics that I cannot elaborate on, but researchers can refer
[00:12:06] to them. More than 5.2
[00:12:09] million internally and externally displaced people within
[00:12:12] Yemen, nearly tens of thousands in prisons,
[00:12:16] or hundreds of thousands,
[00:12:19] and tens of thousands of forcibly disappeared.
[00:12:23] The money that was taken in Yemen, the houses that were emptied. If you asked
[00:12:27] Sheikh Muhammad where his house is today, he would say it was occupied by
[00:12:33] Yemeni dignitaries had their money taken,
[00:12:36] their houses taken, converted into detention centers, converted into prisons,
[00:12:39] converted into torture chambers.
[00:12:42] The Houthis are now deeply involved in shedding
[00:12:47] this place, I appeal to
[00:12:50] and support the idea that Sheikh Muhammad Al-Hazmi, Member of Parliament,
[00:12:54] may God guide him, said. And we call upon the Yemeni Parliament,
[00:12:57] even for an electronic meeting, if an electronic
[00:13:00] meeting is adopted, to issue a law under the name of
[00:13:04] combating terrorism to criminalize
[00:13:07] yes, to criminalize the Houthi extremist terrorist ideology
[00:13:11] that is based on the idea of Imamate, classism, and lineage.
[00:13:15] Who divided Yemenis into tribes,
[00:13:18] masters, sheikhs, jurists, and barbers,
[00:13:22] who created this class system? They did, so that
[00:13:25] they could control the Yemeni tribesman and prevent him from working in a craft
[00:13:29] or industry, so that he would be a soldier loyal to them and a tool
[00:13:33] for killing. Yes, finally, Dr. Yasser, what is the responsibility of Yemeni scholars and the Islamic
[00:13:36] world in confronting the instrumentalization of the Quran and Jerusalem and holy sites in the political
[00:13:40] and military conflict? May God preserve you. This is the biggest
[00:13:44] battle. with the Houthis is the battle of awareness.
[00:13:47] Therefore, the Houthi seeks to keep the Yemeni
[00:13:51] people ignorant. Currently, more than 3 million Yemeni children are deprived of
[00:13:55] education, and this is what the Houthi wants. He wants an ignorant, backward people.
[00:13:58] Yemeni universities are no longer accredited,
[00:14:02] their certificates are not recognized
[00:14:05] the humanities, have closed. Universities of Science
[00:14:09] and other universities have closed, or colleges within the university have closed. There is no
[00:14:13] longer a path towards a profession for people to seek
[00:14:17] job opportunities. Yes, in short, what should be done now?
[00:14:20] What are the necessary actions?
[00:14:23] First, all scholars should
[00:14:25] clarify the ideology
[00:14:28] and beliefs on which this
[00:14:32] group is based, and dismantle them
[00:14:35] with clear and correct evidence, and also
[00:14:39] after dismantling these beliefs,
[00:14:41] they should build and clarify for people the correct beliefs
[00:14:44] and
[00:14:48] those stemming from the Book of God and the Sunnah of the Messenger of God, peace be upon
[00:14:51] him, which call for the unity
[00:14:55] of the ranks for brotherhood, for not
[00:14:58] excommunicating, for building nations, for good neighborliness,
[00:15:02] for the rights of living under
[00:15:05] a state governed by order and law under the Sharia of God Almighty.
[00:15:08] Thank you very much, Dr. Yasser Al-Najjar, member of the Coordination of Yemeni Scholars and Preachers, member of
[00:15:12] the National Dialogue Conference. So, from
[00:15:15] the mosques of Yemen and the Quranic centers to Mecca Al-Mukarramah,
[00:15:18] the events have raised the question of the distance between slogans
[00:15:22] and practice. The sanctity
[00:15:25] the sanctity of blood is indivisible. And between opposing
[00:15:29] narratives, facts and
[00:15:32] evidence remain the basis of judgment. Thank you to our guests, and thank you, dear viewers, for your kind
[00:15:36] follow-up. Accept our greetings, and until next time.

[00:25:24] The capital.
[00:25:42] What the hands of the Imamate that occupied
[00:25:45] Yemen with its ideology for centuries had done, their descendants, the Houthis
[00:25:49] and their supporters,
[00:25:52] who betrayed the Republic, are now doing again
[00:25:55] in order to return to the era of the Imams
[00:25:59] and drag people back to the dark past.
[00:26:03] The defunct Imamate history.
[00:26:24] You are the September of liberation, the dawn
[00:26:27] of struggle. You are the September
[00:26:31] of liberation, the dawn of struggle.
[00:26:35] Long live the September of liberation, the dawn
[00:26:39] of struggle. A revolution that proceeds
[00:26:42] with faith on the path
[00:26:44] of meanings. A revolution that proceeds
[00:26:47] with faith on the path
[00:26:50] of meanings. It crushes the oppressor,
[00:26:53] destroys evil,
[00:26:55] and brings righteousness. It crushes the oppressor,
[00:26:59] destroys oppression, and brings righteousness.
[00:27:12] The people must endure and crush
[00:27:15] the criminals. The people endure prisons,
[00:27:19] forgiving the criminals. And they went on to protect the den.
[00:27:23] And they went on to protect the den. And
[00:27:26] they went
[00:27:27] from the den.
[00:27:31] You are the September of liberation, the dawn of struggle.
[00:27:35] You are the September
[00:27:39] of liberation, the dawn of Italy.
[00:27:42] A revolution that proceeds with faith on the path
[00:27:46] of meanings. A revolution that proceeds
