I wrote on Twitter the day before yesterday this phrase: “The scum that degraded the Saudi flag in front of our embassy in London should not care about them or elevate them to the level of responding or commenting on their ugly act because they are the most despicable and dirtiest types of people, and the despicableness of what they demand is enough for them. The flag of the homeland flies high above the heads of its true sons, and in all countries of the world.” And I still believe that they do not deserve the slightest attention, mention, or mention.
However, what is worth discussing is the position of the British government on this behavior, which is not permitted by diplomatic norms and international relations charters. We do not object to British and Western democracy in general, which allows the most heinous behaviors and expressions that contradict human nature, calls for anomalies and practices that aspire to a complete collapse of morals, and we do not object to allowing freedom of expression of political opinions and positions for any person or group, these are their laws and they are free in them, but how can one accept Insulting the flag of a country in front of its embassy in such a low manner, especially when it bears the slogan of Islam, which is professed by nearly two billion people, and in Britain itself a large percentage of them, and it represents a friendly country with which it has historical relations.
Until the moment of writing this article on Saturday morning, I did not notice an expression of an official position from the British government at least condemning this behavior, or expressing any interest in the tampering of a group of fools with the flag of a friendly country in front of its embassy, and if we did not hear anything about that, then it is a bad sign when it is Insulting countries is a normal and acceptable behavior that falls within the freedom of expression protected by law. This is not democracy, our friends in Britain, but rather chaos, laxity, recklessness and underestimation of the standards of relations with countries, the most important of which is respect for their symbols and representations and everything related to their history and conscience.
We have no objection at all to you hosting gay people, but we do object to your silence towards insulting our flag, which represents our homeland and our religion in a disgusting scene before your eyes. So shall we hear about a position that befits the depth and history of the relations between our two countries, and expresses your true respect for the Kingdom, its leadership, and its people?
