Cit­i­zens in this coun­try have duties as well as rights, they must not con­front the ide­ol­ogy of this nation, which is the Sunni Salafi ideology.

This line alerted top Shi­ite cleric Sheik Nimir Al-Nimir in Saudi Ara­bia say­ing:

The Saudi gov­ern­ment still uses its sys­tem­atic, sec­tar­ian dis­crim­i­na­tion pol­icy since the occu­pa­tion of Al-Ahsa’a and Al-Katif region about a cen­tury ago. If we choose between our dig­nity or the unity of this coun­try, then we will choose our dignity.
