Apparently, the Saudi's are expelling 250,000 Yeminis from Saudi Arabia
for security reasons. How does one define the term "security reasons"
in Islam? When is it justifiable to cause hardship in the name of
"security reasons".  Is it permitted to do such things (expulsion) in order
to *prevent* bloodshed? Who decides, in an Islamic state, whether the
act is permitted? Is there a sitting of some supreme court?
