Saudi artist Talal Salamah said he will not take a residential unit offered to him by Qatar, saying that he does not need it.
This stance shows the extent of Qatar’s infiltration of soft power in Saudi Arabia.
Qatar’s infiltration is not limited to preachers as it also includes popular artists.
Doha seeks to influence artists and exploit athletes to serve bigger purposes which is imperial expansion, until it controls countries like Saudi Arabia, Libya, Egypt and Tunisia.
The dream seems funny but this is the truth. This is what the hidden scheme is about.
The hideous conspiracy to assassinate King Abdullah showed the Saudis the power of patience which the Saudi kingdom had enjoyed. Some talk about “harmony,” “peace” and “compassion.”
This is the how the situation is between the Saudi and the Qatari people.
Only solution
However, in terms of the regime, the only solution is to alter the political behavior, respect laws and states’ sovereignty and be disciplined within the context of international charters.
After there was a conspiracy to kill a King, someone talks about a ‘fitna’ (strife)!
