The four seasons for the recession of the Al-Qaeda supporters in Saudi Arabia

Faris Bin Hzam

From the breakthrough of the building of the American consulate in Jiddah the day before yesterday . The truth lying on the sight of the violence in Saudi Arabia, she the presence of a section from the countries citizens was to a close period sympathizing with the trend of the subsidiary organization to the jihad base organization .

And for the interpretation of this matter in a summarized form no escape from the return to its basis . To the leader of the organization of the jihad base Osama Ben Ladin sympathizers and the matter does not confine to category of the Islamists, but extends to a depth not the religious in the Islamic world . This popularity consisted, because Osama is raising the rifle in the face of the American government - the system not lovable and Arab and Islamic, according to the public opinion studies - then the reality says that each Muslim curses America that will find a popularity at the sons of his race, then what the result will be when the cursing turns a saying to the cursing actually therefore ?, the view to the indication of popularity measurement is possible Ben Laden after the events of New York and Washington . Since the sympathizers field increased with it and its geography did not confine to the Gulf region only, but extended to the Islamic world areas .

In Saudi Arabia there was not a clear view before 11 Septembers drawing features or the opportunities of cells prominence of Al-Qaeda Organization in addition to that a local organization is formed makes from below about 30 cells . These countries, was in the countries top a production of the fighters in the war circles in Afghanistan and Bosnia and Herzegovina ... And the rest of series for an ideological conviction of the legitimacy of the fight is in those sites . Based on that, was formed the local public opinion has a beautiful form about the fighting young man who defends occupied Islamic countries . Often the fighting young man had a special position between the individuals of his family and rest his relatives, referred it to an Alawi rank about rest his fellows who stayed behind the fight riders .

And to the picture universe it came elevated to this category of the Saudi youngs man inside their society, their appearance was in the form of forms to wanted that threaten the security of the homeland the order of a purpose in the difficulty at their lovers . These who look to them as militants, they are now destructive and bombers . At that time the internal opinions started taking the division way toward this group that became within the elements of the organization of the local jihad rule .

And the division state and the retreat from the sympathy with this group continued gradually with the succession of the violence days that Saudi Arabia lived since 12 may 2003 till today . And he was to this period that reached 16 months of stages and chapters draw the recession of the sympathizers index with the organization she is similar by the season of the years .

And at a review the four seasons of the organization supporters trip in Saudi Arabia, the beginning at seventh of may 2003 when an official source declared in the Ministry of Interior a list from 19 wanted was intending doing explosion operations, with the catch of quantity of the explosives and the weapons . She was most of the pictures of youngs man that came from Afghanistan land after they fought against the American forces another in year 2001, and some of them to elements that knew their support of such direction . And therefore the skeptics appeared in the veracity of the charges attributed to the list elements and presented their doubts about an intensive form through the Internet forums . And that the warnings of the Interior Ministry made sure after five days only from the declaration of the list with attack on three residential complexes in Riyadh, but the skeptics - the sympathizers they continued the transmission of their comments by the operations ratios to other authorities .

He was this he is the class the first in the sympathizers trip and the sympathy state was in it an applicant . And no finds a true measure the dependence on it is possible except through the Internet forums that the Islamists control, and through these sites that was the sympathy sound a tyrannical . There is another measure, but it does not accept the dependence on it within the scientific research instruments, and he is the Islamists councils talk that a picture close to what takes place in the Internet forums was from a sympathy . The first class continued about six months . And on despite that the executors list appeared after a short time, and the chases and the confrontations increased between the security forces and the wanted, but the sympathizers are with their recognition that the attacks executors are the list elements, started drawing new justifications to those works, like that these target the polytheist Americans only .

In eighth of November 2003 a class finished the sympathy trip and started an another one . In that evening the organization executed its second operation in Riyadh, through the attack on a residential complex by a car bomb in it . But the results of that work came on other than what the sympathizers expect, then it did not kill an American or until western and single, have been all of the Arabs ( 17 dead ) . This accident is turning the scales at the sympathizers so that their vote starts in the recession, then therefore they were the beginning of the second season that continued five following months and in it the organization continued its move amid a popularity and a less sympathy, which gained it when it started its first operations . As for the ones who were steadfast to their sympathy after this happening, then they started allegations that follow that the dead were not from the Arabs but from the Americans working in the American intelligence agency .

The end of the second season and the start of the third season were in 21 April 2004, when the organization targeted a governmental building belonging to the Traffic Department and in its neighborhood of a headquarters to the emergency forces related to the police, with the explosion of a car bomb and in it two suicide bombers . This accident, was as the hitting that blocked the way before the sympathizers with the organization . Since the operations moved from the attack on residential complexes related to the Westerners a passage by the Arabs complexes until they reached the governmental buildings .

And in the last accident the instruments of their thought that the opportunity grants to finding justifications for such work that disagrees with the slogan of the declared organization broke down . There was not what its justification is possible in front of the sympathizers for the increase of their rate or until the preservation of the remaining from them at least, then the polytheists bringing slogan fell from the Arabian Peninsula so that the sympathy recedes in an increasing form in the third comma .

The chapters another one started with the change of the organization way in the execution of the operations with the abandonment of the explosion of complexes and buildings and the start in the personal assassinations and the kidnapping of the Westerners . This style took a dimension it differs about what the organization wanted, then it did not find any acceptance or a sympathy at a top ratio amid the remaining from its supporters so that they retreat from their opinions and change their feelings towards the organization to the stealing state . And there are still category of the sympathizers, some of it moves through writings through the Internet and another he discloses by it through the councils and the special collections of poems .

There is category another appearing in the sympathy trip and was the surprise that it from category not religious . And the recognition of it and the measurement of its sympathy were taking place through the youth and general gatherings that bless these works . And the reason resulting from anger state and a frustration a general from the attitudes of the Arab governments and the Islamic ones from crucial cases like Palestine and Iraq and Kashmir, without this resentful and the frustrated one possesses any view or an estimation of the seriousness of these terrorist acts and its effect on the security of the homeland . And throughout this trip through the four seasons, the Saudi official speech issued from the command was recognizing presence this category, and it has sent its warnings through the mass medias of the result of the sympathy with the wanted .
