“…Orhan concluded that Al-Qaeda is a new form of radicalism with a focus on local and global socialization instruments that have resulted in organizational, strategic, axiological and teleological divisions with traditional Islamic movements in the region (Orhan, 2010). In line with Orhan, Ric in his study found the relevance of the contextualism of radicalism of Islamic extremism groups between Egypt and Tunisia (Neo, 2019). Jihad activities that present a form of "violent" action are still largely considered radical acts (Battiston, 2019;Hasanov, 2005;Latham, 1999;Miller, 2009;Ronen, 2007;Schofield, 2004;Varouxakis, 2004;Yang et al, 2014).…”

“…Indeed, excessive sectarian and anti-Shia policies can fuel enough local grievances amongst moderate Shia citizens that they are driven towards supporting the Iran regime and engaging in violence against the state. In all, the continued securitisation of Shi'ism in Saudi Arabia has fostered a cycle of violence that at present threatens the stability of the Saudi society -instability and grievances that can conversely be exploited by external elements as well as radical groups that have a history of manipulating sectarian hatred to further their causes (Neo 2019a).…”

The events of Arab Spring that swept across the Middle East have altered the face of domestic politics within Arab states, spurring a rise in Shia/ Sunni sectarianism across the region. Yet, to view sectarianism as an inevitable outcome ignores the fact that both factions have lived together peacefully in the past. This article employs securitisation to interrogate the construction of Shi'ism as a societal threat in Saudi Arabia. It addresses two questions: first, what empirical insight can the framework provide regarding the religious securitisation of Shi'ism by Saudi Arabia? Next, what are the implications of the securitisation discourse on the Shi'a minority and the wider Saudi society? Theoretically, this article engages with contemporary debates concerning Eurocentric aspects of securitisation and the concept of religious securitisation. Empirically, it argues that the Saudi state has instrumentally securitised Shi'ism to curb the perceived threat from Iran. Crucially, it analyses how the securitisation discourse has justified institutionalised discrimination against the Shi'a minority, and shows how this has unleashed centrifugal trajectories that undermine societal stability. This has unfolded in an empirical cycle of violence, as Sunni citizens become normalised to violence against the Shi'a, spurring the minority to mount an increasingly violent campaign of resistance.
