Ramadan in Saudi Arabia: Jihad-martyrdom suicide bombing near US consulate

Jul 4, 2016 2:34 am By Robert Spencer

Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

US consulate Jeddah

“Attack near US consulate in Saudi city of Jeddah,” BBC, July 4, 2016:

A suspected suicide bomber has died after detonating a device near the US consulate in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah, the interior ministry says.

Two security officers were slightly injured as they tackled the man, but no one else was hurt.

The attack came in the early hours of US Independence Day and shortly before dawn prayers marking the start of the daily Ramadan fast….

Security guards became suspicious of a man in the car park of the Dr Suleiman Faqeeh hospital around 02:15 (23:15 GMT Sunday), interior ministry spokesman Maj-Gen Mansour al-Turki said in a statement.

The hospital is opposite the US consulate.

As the guards approached the man, “he blew himself up with a suicide belt inside the hospital parking,” the statement said.

The US embassy in Saudi Arabia issued a warning after the attack, urging Americans to “remain aware of their surroundings, and take extra precautions when travelling throughout the country”.

    Does anyone have a count of how many attacks have been made since Ramadan started?

    Only slightly injuring two officers? Without killing them? No virgins for you!

    Saudi Arabia has the most extensive police/military/security system for these types of attacks. SO it is no wonder little happened. Checkpoints, searches, machine gun nests, APCs are everywhere.
    I call it ‘living with Islam’. Paris, Brussels and all of Germany are on the way to this.
    They have extensive spy network in the mosques and unlike in the West if someone gives a hate speech against the Royal family in Arabic they are arrested and well you can guess. In the West if the Imam says to kill all Jews and Christians in Arabic, the police take no notice..

      John Johness says: “…. In the West if the Imam says to kill all Jews and Christians in Arabic, the police take no notice..”

      WRONG! They will ‘protect the right of the Imam to free speech’. And God have mercy on any Islamophobe criticizing that Imam’s speech.

      Sorry for the minor correction….

    So like any other day then.

      Pull out every consulate and embassy. It’s time for the detoxification of the Saudi disease here at home and abroad.

    Obama is a Muslim. It is his religious duty to undermine the US system and install Islam and Sharia. The only reason I can give for the rest is that they are bought and paid for by Islamic countries. Hillary Clinton by Saudi Arabia, Qattar and Oman.
