...means "from Siddiqui," meaning either from the town/village/region of Sidiqui or from the tribe of Siddiqui. It's not a "last name" or surname like what we have in the West...it's more like a zip code.

ISLAMIC scholars and high authorities condemned the deadly terrorist attacks at the Arabian Petroleum Investment Corp. residential compound in Al-Khobar.
It is most abhorring to kill innocent people who came to Saudi Arabia on its invitation to help build the country and who are under a covenant to get protection under Islamic order, the clerics said.
These criminal acts only strengthen the Zionists in their aggression against the Palestinians, they said.
Dr. Abdullah Abdul Mohsin Al-Turki, the Secretary General of the Muslim World League and member of the Supreme Council of Islamic clerics at Makkah, explained why terrorist acts have no place in Islam.
Islam came at a time when the world was a lawless state, he said. It is Islam that laid down the constitution to govern and brought peace and made every one including the ruler subservient to peace. This caused Islam to spread quickly. But now these terrorists are indulging in un-Islamic and inhuman acts of barbarism which no religion ever allows.
He appealed the people to cooperate with the authorities in achieving and maintaining peace in the Kingdom.
Dr. Osama Fadhl Al-Bar, chief of the Haj Research Institute and Dean of Umm Al-Qura University, reiterated that the terrorist acts are against Islamic tenets. These acts not only endanger the cause of Islam, but also pose it as a religion of terrorism as held by the Western media, he rued.
They damage our economic stability and would stop people from bringing foreign investments into the country, Al-Bar said. Who is benefited by these acts? he asked, answering, Only those who do not want Islam to flourish as a religion of peace.

It is also what we used to call the "moonshine" we made in Saudi. The word translates loosely to "friend".

The Saudis can never do anything because it is the right thing to do. They can only do the right thing if they can somehow, someway figure out a way to use it as a cudgel against the Israelis.
In fact, it's becoming more and more apparent that whenever the Saudis need to make a decision about something - the first and last thing they ask themselves is WWJNWUTD or "What Would the Jews Not Want Us To Do?". Once they think they've figureed out, then and only then are they able to make a decision about how to proceed.
I think he's got it!!!!!!, and extrapolate...!
