In an article titled “An Islamic Fatwa, Guidance and Forewarning” The Learned Scholar Ibrahim bin Mohammed Al-Wazir wrote:
“The issue we want to discuss and draw the attention of all to it is the coming to Yemen by warring Jews. We say: It is known for sure that, for warring enemies there is only one judgment upon which all Muslim Scholars agree. This judgement is different from that which applies to [Christian and Jewish] covenators who live in an Islamic state as its nationals. They live fully secured according to God’s pact. Their liberties, properties and honor are respected. Any one who offends them without any reason has betrayed God’s and the Prophet’s Pact.
“But those warring Jews who joined the Jewish state in fighting against Islam and against Muslims are subject to a different judgement. They don’t enjoy any kind of immunity. They aren’t given any kind of immunity by the Sharia’ah.”
“Whether they are of Yemeni, Arab or European origin or not; as long as they have joined to the state of the enemy that endeavors Islam’s glory and Muslim’s dignity, and have become its nationals, they shouldn’t be cooperated with, brought or allowed to enter an Islamic country.

Ali Al-Saqqaf wrote:
If the citizens of Yemen are living under very miserable conditions, Yemeni innovators live under even more miserable conditions.
Government looks at innovators as if they are useless. Innovation itself is considered an undesirable privilege.
Hope that still survives is in some private and civil corporations which cannot be in place of the state, but can, none the less, fulfill some of its unfinished job.
Is it possible to expect these corporations to do something for innovation and innovators away from sale of fake hope and the propaganda uproar?
