Sutradara film itu mengatakan, maksud pembuatan film tersebut adalah untuk mengekspos fanatisme keagamaan semu (Wahabi) yang dipromosikan Ibn Saud untuk mendalangi berbagai macam aksi terorisme modern.

Pangeran Saudi Arabia Talal bin Abdulaziz meminta Presiden Suriah Bashar al-Assad untuk mencegah peredaran film anti-Saudi di negara yang dilanda perang itu.

Pernyataan itu diutarakan di akun Twitter-nya sambil mengecam keras direktur film "King of Sand", Najdat Aznour dan menyebutnya direktur Jihad al-Nikah.

Film King of the Sand bercerita tentang munculnya seorang pendiri kerajaan Saudi Arabia, Ibn Saud yang berasal dari pemimpin suku badui di Kuwait yang menjadi penguasa di jazirah Arab.

Film ini menggambarkan betapa kejam Ibn Saud dalam usaha mencapai ambisi dengan menggunakan segala cara dan sangat tidak bermoral, casanova haus darah dan merupakan pion dari Inggris.

Sutradara film itu mengatakan, maksud pembuatan film tersebut adalah untuk mengekspos fanatisme keagamaan semu (Wahabi) yang dipromosikan Ibn Saud untuk mendalangi berbagai macam aksi terorisme modern.

Pangeran Talal dalam akun Twitternya mengatakan film itu bukan sebuah film yang sukses dan akan dilemparkan ke dalam tong sampah karya seni.

Dikatakannya, dia telah meminta seorang teman untuk berbicara dengan Presiden Assad dan membujuknya untuk melarang pemutaran film di Suriah yang dilanda pemberontakan Takfiri binaan Riyadh.

Pangeran Saudi itu menulis, ia berharap semua nikmat dan kemenangan yang diberikan Abdul Aziz al-Saud kepada rakyat dan pemerintah Suriah dan negara-negara lain tidak mudah dilupakan dan memerintahkan Bashar Assad melarang pemutaran film itu.

Emir Faisal adalah putra Raja Hejaz dan menjadi Raja Arab di Suriah atau yang dikenal dengan Suriah Raya pada tahun 1920, (Irak sekarang), sejak Agustus 1921 hingga 1933.

Emir Saudi inilah yang menandantangani perjanjian dengan Chaim Weizmann (President of the World Zionist Organization) yang dikenal dengan Konferensi Perdamaian Paris 1919 untuk menyelesaikan sengketa tanah Palestina-Israel dari Perang Dunia I. Kesepakatan dan kerjasama itu merupakan cikal bakal tercaploknya wilayah Palestina oleh rezim penjajah al-Quds hingga hari ini.

Dengan jelas, alasan kenapa Bandar bin Sultan begitu bersemangat ingin mengambil alih kembali kekuasaan dari tanah-tanah di Timur Tengah termasuk Irak dan Suriah yang diklaim sebagai tanah properti milik bani al-Saud.

Dan karena itulah Saudi Arabia menciptakan organisasi "mujahidin" yang berfungsi sebagai mesin-mesin pembunuh keji yang diberi nama Negara Islam Irak dan Levant/Suriah (ISIL dan ISIS).

Dalam wawancara dengan al-Akhbar Libanon pada 30 November lalu, Assad mengatakan seluruh perang di Suriah akan berakhir jika Arab Saudi berhenti mempersenjatai dan mendukung Takfiri yang diekspor ke Suriah. [IT/Onh/Ass]
