Warning to Saudi Arabia: Egypt change
government is making intensive efforts to contain the crisis after the sudden decision to close the King of Saudi Arabia embassy and consulates in both Alexandria and Suez.
Crisis is not the result of the day, and the arrest of Mr. Algizawa is the tip of the iceberg, relations are strained between the two countries since the outbreak of the Egyptian revolution and the position of the Saudi authorities exhibitions have, and the worker to abort and to keep the regime of President Mubarak in all possible ways and means, including contact Saudi Arabia with U.S. President and his claim to intervene rapidly and prevent democratic change in Egypt. And increased anger after the victory of Saudi Islamists more than 75 ‘of the seats in parliament, governance Saudi hates the Brotherhood, and Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz and Interior Minister described as’ out of affliction’ in the region.
If the reaction of the Egyptian street, the arrest of Algizawa exaggerated, and the same is said about some articles critical of and even prolonged the Saudi government in an inappropriate manner, the response of the Saudi authorities was also exaggerated, as if these authorities were waiting for an excuse to close its embassy and consulates in Egypt, Vsafarat Saudi Arabia exposed to angry protests and demonstrations by the Saudis Watch Extreme Rules and Arabs in more than a Muslim capital and world such as London, Washington and Tehran, but has not been shut down because of it.
Kingdom do not have to close their embassies in the capital of any Muslim or non-Muslim, because this affects the closure and a half billion Muslim religious Fra?dahm they had to visit the holy places in Mecca and Medina, both to perform the Hajj or Umrah.
The basic problem lies in the lack of understanding, Saudi officials said Egypt has changed, and that President Hosni Mubarak is no longer a governor, and that his regime would not return, which requires them to adapt to this change and live with it. Arresting the Egyptians or other Arabs, and put them behind bars without trial is no longer acceptable at the time of the Arab revolutions, and the information revolution and digitalis, as was the case in the past.
Mr. Ahmed Algizawa who was arrested is a bomber of this crisis may be involved already in the smuggling of narcotic pills are prohibited, and may be innocent indeed, but how do we condemn or Nbrih in the absence of a judicial system and just in Saudi Arabia first, and most Arab countries II?
Can not Saudi officials that argue the justice of spending and there are hundreds, if not thousands of prisoners of conscience languishing behind bars without trial, and the same, if not more, are barred from traveling, and without being issued in the right of any criminal convictions, even if issued these verdicts, the owners have spent their sentences in full, then why withdraw their passports?

Saudi authorities pressured many of the British government to keep the Drs opponents of Muhammad al-Massari and Saad al-Faqih, including threats to cancel arms deal Yamamah and worth $ 75 billion, but did not succeed because the British court does not allow it to independence from the government, while the released Saudi authorities for three nurses Laden Colleague kill, and they issued a death sentence, in recognition of the independence of its judiciary not to, in response to the request of British Prime Minister, and transported by private jet to London.
The writer of these lines subjected to a campaign Shaking and distortion of Saudi newspapers, eight years ago, when resorted to the law firm Arabia to raise the issue before the courts Arabia to prosecute disrespect Ali issued a Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz, the Interior Minister and current crown, a decree to prevent the judiciary from considering the issues libel and convert them to the Information Ministry that stood behind this campaign, so that the judge and jury, and came from the displays on the large sums of money in exchange for ceding the case and rejected, and I have all the documents in this regard.
Sheikh Rashid Ghannouchi, leader of the Renaissance Party of Tunisia, and personal Islamic respectable, re from Jeddah International Airport is in the garment and have a visa pilgrimage from the Saudi embassy in London after being held more than 17 hours, pending the arrival of Turkish plane that picked him up (his ticket was discounted and at his own expense) , was not known until this moment, why did not allow him to wwe Extreme Rules 2012 Live perform the Hajj, and committed to silence the man did not make a single word of criticism of the Saudi authorities because of high manners and literature of El Jem.
Algizawa crisis is not between the Egyptian people and his Saudi counterpart, but between him and the Saudi authorities, and a warning message to all the other Arab authorities that degrade the Arab citizen, because his government is weak or corrupt, does not defend its citizens as it should.
Egypt has changed, and the Arab peoples as well, and was silent before the revolutions no longer the case after it.
We recognize that some of the media the Egyptian came out of the ordinary in its criticism of the kingdom, but a book Saudis as well have gone too far in Ttolhm the Egyptian people, and this is not permissible in the two cases, but it is more painful when it issued the instructions of the authorities overseeing the Athar Islamic places and most of His Holiness in the world.
There are many Arab countries are different with other countries, but stick to politely dispute and ethics, or rather the lower limit of it.

Saudi Arabia should provide a model of justice, equality and tolerance, and not denied any Muslim, whatever the degree of disagreement with him or with his government, to perform Umrah or Hajj, also pinpointed must rise above a lot of rhetoric and acts of libel and slander. Political controversy, but the project is rejected personifying things at all.
No one wants to inflict any harm to the Saudi embassy or diplomatic personnel, nor any Embassy or Consulate of Saudi Arabia in the world, this embassy is an Arab country, but the right of Egyptian citizens to demonstrate in front of and to express their grievances, but in the framework of the law and without taking any acts of sabotage , as happens in every country in the civilized world, as it is right that the Saudis protesters demonstrate outside the Egyptian embassy if the Egyptian authorities arrested one of their brothers unjustly and aggressively.
Painful that the Egyptian embassy in Riyadh, like most Arab embassies, not takes care of its citizens do not win them and defend them, as do the embassies and other foreign governments, the government Philippine intervened to prevent the execution of its citizens because the Saudi courts unfairly, as did the Turkish government, and prevented Indonesia her servants work in more than one Gulf state because of ill-treatment, and we saw the Egyptian diplomats in their embassy in Riyadh, acting as if they belong to the Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia.
Arab judicial systems, all of us, and the Saudi regime in particular, need a radical overhaul, and other Agt says truth, but to what exists now in London, a delegation from the Ministry of Justice to study the British judicial system to take advantage of them in the process of reform of the judiciary? The reform must be based on justice, equality and respect for human rights and the complete separation between the authorities, in short that there are people who can not be above the law because they are princes or of the elite.
Saudi Arabia needs a full review, not for its courts only, but for many things, especially at this sensitive time, the most prominent repair the relationship with Egypt and other Arab states away from the chaos and arrogance, has lost Iraq, and it is guaranteed to win Syria’s old or new, in light of what it calls the growing Iranian threat.
Kingdom is always known for their patience and wisdom of its officials, we do not believe that their dealings with the crisis Algizawa is a continuation of these qualities, for Valafraj Algizawa after all the hype problem, and his arrest and his skin, the largest catastrophe. If there spend just for the picture is different altogether, Justice is the basis of good governance. After calling the Saudi ambassador, who left Cairo on Sunday morning ?consultation?, rejected the Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr, any abuse of the relations of the Egyptian Saudi Arabia, for the intervention of the Arab League, in turn, on the line of reconciliation and work to remove the tension between the two countries where he held its Secretary-General Nabil Arab contacts between Cairo and Riyadh, saying the crisis ?a passing cloud?.
