1979 Grand Mosque Massacre - Forgotten History

[@geneballay9590]

Very interesting, well researched and well presented. I lived / worked in Saudi Arabia 1992 - 2002 and had just assumed the prevailing strict religious code of conduct had always been in place, not realizing it was tied to the Grand Mosque massacre (which I knew about but just had not connected). Your channel is outstanding, I have learned so much, about so many things.

[@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL]

Thank you kindly

Watch out because the facts start getting twisted and his biases begin to creep in. Example: the Trump, Biden, and Palestine videos.

Saudi Arabia was modernizing before this massacre happened and i think the Iranian revolution also played a role in shaping Saudi Arabia religious rule.

The strict religious code of conduct WAS in place before the assault on the Mosque in Mecca - I lived in Saudi Arabia before the Mosque attack and the rules were already in place and being enforced prior to the attack in Mecca.

The areas that Islam invaded began to decline as a innovators when the book became much more important than advancing into the future... Christians claimed that scientists and theoreticians were heretics in the 1300s and for a while afterwards until protestantism pushed back against the Catholic and Orthodox Churches...

The problem statement with Islam is it is not able to reform itself . It is only able to become more extreme, more narrow, hence more violent. This has been the general historical thrust since those Muslims , influenced by Aristotle , wanted to apply Aristotelian thought to the Muslim Religion, were intellectually defeated. There was a massive internal struggle over this and the Aristotelian ones lost and, in general , ended up in then, Andalucía ( Muslim controlled Spain). While there , through contacts with Christian monk types Europe became aware of Aristotle, which is a fascinating story in and of itself. However, I digress. Since the defeat of the Aristotelian Muslim Scholars the general intellectual movement in the religion has been one of narrowing, that is a kind of integration of: religion, politics, & law into an increasingly narrow ergo violence prone ideology. The great irony here is that the only places wherein the Muslim religion can truly reform itself and achieve some , if not all and then more of its former magnificence is in the West, in open type societies. At one time the Muslim religion was indeed magnificent. Just look at what it crested in its Golden Age: the Arabesque, Algebra, beautiful mosques, philosophical thought , navigational skills, etc. etc. etc.. Let us hope that they find their way, for the world would truly benefit as it did from Islam’s Golden Age. I worked with many Muslims during my deployment to Iraq. The regular type Muslim is really not that different from most people. Many were very good, pretty much wanting what everyone wants, a nice family , good work and a peaceful life. I am not unaware that there are issues , some very bad, but the ones with whom I worked I got along with okay. This was a great presentation. Thank you very much!!!!

Truth is the primary principle of research. The Army who got rid of rebels was Pakistan Army Commandos. The Troup was headed by Major Pervaiz Musharraf later General and President of Pakistan. Please put the record right.

Is it or is it not true that the French special forces “temporarily converted” to Islam to enter Mecca?

[@Read-My-Post-Idiot]

You should look up the word research and apply it instead of asking someone else online.

[@crocodiledundee8685]

I can answer. Nope. The French merely advised, they never entered Mecca. The claim came afterwards when the lead adviser after leaving the special forces wrote a book about his experiences and said he did it.

[@theMOCmaster]

@@crocodiledundee8685 what incentive does a French ‘advisor’ have to claim he temporarily converted to Islam vs what incentive does the Saudi royal family dealing with an Islamist anti-western rebellion have to cover it up?

[@iamtehgame]

Mecca is prohibited from non-muslims entering it, even the highway leading there has a lane dedicated for non-muslims to use it.

[@crocodiledundee8685]

@@theMOCmaster for the former fame and glory. Look no further than Chris Ryan & Andy McNab, veterans of the disastrous Bravo Two Zero who falsely blamed their commanding officer for the mission’s failure in order to prop themselves up. For the latter it’s multi-layered. One, the Saudi Royal family’s claim to the throne is their sole claim to protect & defend Mecca for all of Islam. If they admit to using foreign non-Muslims it undermines their claim to the wider Islamic world (especially when at the time there were plenty of other Arab countries looking to seize Mecca from the Saudis which is why they hired the French as they didn’t care about Mecca). Second, it was the largest uprising in the kingdom’s history and it shook Saudi Arabia to her core.

I read "The Siege of Mecca" I had never heard of this story because it more or less coincided with the US embassy takeover in Tehran. I was 13 when this happened.
