Q 5: Is it obligatory upon all Muslims to stand by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against the unjust oppressor?

A: This is our belief; as they should fight the Jews according to their ability, they should fight Saddam according to their ability as a worse urgent priority. They should stand on the side of Al­Haqq (the Truth) against falsehood at anytime everywhere. This is an obligation on Muslims subject to ability and might.
This is to support the wronged party and resist the wrongful party as Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) ordered and made permissible in His Saying: And if two parties or groups among the believers fall to fighting as quoted before. Allah (Glorified be He) also says: And indeed whosoever takes revenge after he has suffered wrong, for such there is no way (of blame) against them. The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress men and rebel in the earth without justification; for such there will be a painful torment.
The Messenger (peace be upon him) ordered that in his saying: Help your brother whether he is an oppressor or oppressed, A man said, O Allah's Messenger! I will help him if he is oppressed, but if he is an oppressor, how shall I help him? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, By preventing him from oppressing (others), for that is how to help him.
If the Muslim oppressor should be prevented from oppression, then the Kafir (disbeliever) oppressor should, as a priority, receive the same, due to his Kufr (disbelief) and injustice, such as the ruler of Iraq and similar unjust atheists.
