If there is a full blown civil war, like most of the Middle East, then it may be time to pack our bags. Last thing anyone wants is to be caught in the cross fire.

Edit: Yes, another bomb today in Dammam.

Is this another one, or the one that was last week? Any further details?

ISIS Claims 2nd Saudi Attack....

http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/29/middleeast/saudi-arabia-mosque-blast/index.html

Doubtful that Saudi security will do anything to deter this terrorism since it is helping the government to fix the Shiia problem by killing them off.

Sadly, this kind of thing is probably applauded by the majority of Saudis.

Wow with all this civic unrest, the rockets and boms to and from Yemen, i would be suprised if someone comes on the forum asking which city is safe out of the lot.

A lot of people managed to live through the sectarian IRA violence in the UK, and they were bombing the military, shopping centres and hotels.

WSU student dies while trying to prevent ISIS suicide bombing

WICHITA, Kan. -
Abdul al-Arbash, a 22-year-old WSU student in electrical engineering, is credited with stopping a suicide bombing from being carried out by ISIS.

The incident happened in al-Arbash's home of Saudi Arabia. Friends tell Eyewitness News he was in his home country for the summer to get married.

The Associated Press reports al-Arbash and his friend Mohammed Hassan Ali bin Isa were killed chasing down the man and preventing him from entering the Imam Hussein mosque.

The friends were manning a civilian checkpoint when the man tried to enter the mosque, according to The Independent, a UK-based newspaper.

The suicide bomber then detonated his explosives killing four.

WSU released a statement saying the university is saddened by al-Arbash's death and extends its condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

Eyewitness News has several crews working this story. More reaction coming up on-air and online.

Fixing the Shia "problem"

"Killing the Shia off?"

These are the most absurd comments I've read here so far.

Killing the Shia off is impossible. There are millions of them and there isn't going to be a civil war, ever. At most, there is civil strife.

Suicide bombings don't start wars and nobody is capable of thrusting the Shia into war. They have strict orders from their leaders to stay united in the face of the enemies of Islam. These forces would like nothing better than to divide the Muslims, which is not happening, especially in Saudi. KSA has the most to lose from a Sunni-Shia conflict. This is why Daesh targets the Shia, to incite them to retaliate against the state. The Shia know this and avoid retaliation. This policy of non-retaliation comes from the highest levels.
