Tens of Wahhabi shaykhs in Saudi Arabia issued a statement demanding the murder of the Shias in Yemen.

After Saudi Arabia invaded Yemen and barbarically bombed villages located on the border between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, in the Saada province where hundreds of Muslim women and children were killed, Saudi Arabian shaykhs demanded the murder of Shias.

These shaykhs claimed that the invasion of Yemen by the Saudi Arabian forces is religiously legal because it is a measure to prevent Iranian influence. They demanded the destruction of the men of the Al-Houthi Movement as well as the enslavement of their women.

Nasir bin Sulayman al-‘Umar and Sulayman bin Hamd al-‘Awdah, members of the intellectual board of the al-Qasim University, were amongst the signees of the document.
