The article condemns Houthi missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia, including repeated attacks on King Khalid International Airport that killed 18 people and wounded more than 333 over five days, as well as attempted targeting of Makkah and Madinah, describing the acts as assaults on Islamic holy sites and civilian pilgrims.

Saudi Arabia’s Council of Senior Scholars labeled the actions terrorism equivalent to Daesh and Al-Qaeda, while the GCC, the United States, Canada, Australia, and the European Parliament have condemned the group, with several designating it a terrorist organization and others urged to do the same.

Beyond the Saudi attacks, the piece cites Houthi responsibility for Yemen’s humanitarian crisis, child-soldier recruitment, suppression of women, Red Sea shipping attacks, and the killing of political opponents, arguing that these actions contradict the group’s self-description as “Ansar Allah.”

They call themselves “Ansar Allah,” meaning “Supporters of God.” Their reality, however, could not be further from the truth. For what do the Houthis support? Not God. Not Islam, for sure.

The Houthis have committed the ultimate transgression by attacking the holiest sites in Islam. They have fired missiles toward Makkah and Madinah — the cities where the Prophet walked, where the Kaaba stands as the “qibla” for every Muslim on Earth, where millions of believers journey each year to perform Hajj and Umrah. To target these sacred places is not merely a crime against Saudi Arabia, it is an act of war against every Muslim who bows toward the Kaaba five times a day. It is an assault on the soul of Islam itself. It is ironic, of course, that as so-called “Ansar Allah,” with their slogans calling for death to the United States, and death to Jews, their focus has been slaughtering fellow Yemenis and targeting neighboring Saudis.

Consider the carnage at Riyadh’s........
