تعودنا على وجوه «ودرة» وأصوات شاذة تهاجمنا وتسيء إلينا في دول عربية تزعم حرية الإعلام، لتبرير عجزها عن وقف الإساءات ومحاسبة المسيئين، لكن أن يصدر ذلك من داخل دول هي أقرب إلينا من حبل الوريد، فهذا غير مقبول، ولا يوجد ما يبرره!
أعلم أن قافلتنا تسير منذ تأسيس هذه البلاد، مع شقيقاتها دول الخليج، بتوفيق من الله، دون أن يؤثر فيها نُباح الكلاب، أو نعيق الغربان، أو فحيح الأفاعي، لكن من غير المقبول أن نسمع النباح من داخل السور الخليجي، ونتلقى الطعنات من الخلف باسم «حرية التعبير»، فكما أن أنظمة النشر في المملكة تمنع الإساءة إلى الدول الشقيقة والصديقة، وتحاسب كل من يضر بمصالح علاقاتها بهذه الدول، فإننا ننتظر الشيءَ ذاته من تلك الدول الشقيقة والصديقة!
سنحفظ كرامة الشعوب والدول الشقيقة والصديقة، لأن الدول لا تؤخذ بجريرة سفهائها. لكن من كان من مواطنيها مرتهناً لمشروعٍ فاسد، أو عميلاً لنظام معادٍ، أو مسانداً لحزبٍ شاذ أو جماعة متطرفة، فليس له إلا أن نحثو التراب في وجهه، ونلقمه حجراً؛ فلا كرامة له، ولا قانون عندنا يحميه من التصدي لعداوته، أو يفرض علينا الصمت على بذاءاته!
باختصار: بلادنا عزيزة على مواطنيها، والدفاع عن كرامتها، والتصدي لمن يتطاول عليها، واجب تمليه وطنية خالصة، وحمية فطرية، ومروءة نقية. ومن لم تردعه قوانين بلاده عن توجيه سهامه المسمومة إلى بلادنا، فليس له إلا «مشعاب» يعيد إليه صوابه!

We have become accustomed to the faces of "Wadra" and the strange voices that attack us and insult us in Arab countries that claim freedom of the press, to justify their inability to stop the insults and hold the offenders accountable. However, for this to come from within countries that are closer to us than our own jugular vein is unacceptable and has no justification!
I know that our caravan has been moving since the establishment of this country, alongside its sister Gulf states, with the grace of God, without being affected by the barking of dogs, the cawing of crows, or the hissing of snakes. However, it is unacceptable for us to hear barking from within the Gulf fence and to receive stabs in the back in the name of "freedom of expression." Just as the publishing systems in the Kingdom prevent insults to sisterly and friendly countries and hold accountable anyone who harms the interests of its relations with these countries, we expect the same from those sisterly and friendly countries!
We will preserve the dignity of the peoples and the sisterly and friendly countries, because nations are not held accountable for the misdeeds of their fools. However, those among its citizens who are beholden to a corrupt project, or are agents of an opposing regime, or supporters of a deviant party or extremist group, deserve nothing but for us to throw dust in their faces and hurl stones at them; for they have no dignity, and no law protects them from facing their hostility, nor imposes silence on us regarding their vulgarities!
In short: Our country is dear to its citizens, and defending its dignity and confronting those who overstep their bounds is a duty dictated by pure patriotism, innate zeal, and genuine honor. And for those who are not deterred by the laws of their country from directing their poisoned arrows at ours, they deserve nothing but a "stick" to bring them back to their senses!
