ISIS COMMITTED TO CONQUERING JEDDAH
(Why Does ISIS Hate the Saudi Royal Family?)
--Attorney Patryk Utulu

Kuwaiti Intelligence sources are reporting that ISIS militants are firmly committed to taking over Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It is not quite known why ISIS is so fixated on sacking Jeddah. An emerging consensus among Middle East strategists is that once ISIS takes over Jeddah, it will be in a position to pressure Saudis to sack the Royal Family to avoid invasion of Mecca and Medina. The Saudi Government is on full silent alert.
Saudi Arabia is ruled through a GRAND PARTNERSHIP of the HOUSE OF SAUD and WAHHABI RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY. The Royal Family wields POLITICAL authority while the Wahhabis wield actual RELIGIOUS power.

King Abdullah Ibn Abdilaziz is "The Custodian of The Two Holy Mosques" -- a title of the highest importance. King Abdullah is beloved and well respected but he is 90. The king is also a reformer quietly making some significant changes to the status of Saudi women. Some Middle East experts believe this may be another reason ISIS dislike the royal family and is so determined to overthrow them.

Saudi Arabia is famous for Cheque-Book Diplomacy. They let money do the talking. Saudi Royal Family hardly ever speaks out on security issues. THAT SEEMS TO BE CHANGING. They are taking ISIS' threat seriously. It appears to be the reason they put pride aside and started sounding the alarm. Even so, the royal family is still too afraid to speak out "AGAINST" ISIS but, at least, they are talking ABOUT THE THREAT posed by ISIS and warning that ISIS (which calls itself "The Caliphate" has the ambition, money, weapons, millions of supporters, and committed fighters to delete international boundaries and remake the Middle East in its own image.

Already, ISIS is more popular than al-Qaeda. Its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is far more popular than al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri. ISIS seems to hate Christians a bit less than it hates SHIA Muslims. ISIS gives Christians option to convert or face execution. Shias get no options. That ISIS kills SHIA Muslims and bulldozes Shia Holy Shrines in every town/village it conquers is very popular with its supporters. Weekly, it proudly posts videos and pictures of its fighters killing captives with hands tied to their backs. Other Jihadi fighters are defecting to ISIS. Last week ISIS sent emissaries to global Jihadi groups DEMANDING that all groups (including al-Qaeda) swear allegiance to ISIS and pledge loyalty to its leader, al-Baghdadi.

Finally, diplomatic cables and secret meetings seem to indicate that Middle East leaders are starting to sleep less at night.
