Qatar foreign minister says early talks with Saudi Arabia have broken stalemate
The 2-1/2-year row between U.S.-allied Arab states saw Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cut diplomatic and trade links with Qatar over allegations it backs terrorism. Doha denies the charge and says the embargo undermines its sovereignty.
The boycotting nations set 13 demands, including closing Al Jazeera television, shuttering a Turkish base, downgrading ties with Iran and cutting links to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Saudi officials say their demands are unaltered, but two sources familiar with the talks said Riyadh no longer expected Doha would cut ties with Ankara or close Al Jazeera, which Arab rulers accuse Qatar of using as a mouthpiece to attack them.

Qatar–Saudi Arabia relations - Wikipedia
Saudi Arabia–Qatar relations refers to the current and historical relationship between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Qatar. Prior to the 21st century, the two countries maintained cordial ties. Qatar was mainly subservient to Saudi Arabia in matters relating to foreign policy.[1] Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani's assumption of power saw Qatar reclaim its sovereignty in foreign affairs, often diverging from Saudi Arabia on many geopolitical issues. In 1996, the Qatari government launched Al Jazeera in a bid to consolidate soft power. One of the most watched news stations in the Arab world, Al Jazeera proved to be a wedge in the two's bilateral relations as it routinely criticized Saudi Arabia's ruler.[2] The network also provided a platform for Islamist groups which are considered a threat to Saudi Arabia's monarchy.[3]

Abbasid Revolution - Wikipedia
Coming to power three decades after the death of the Muslim prophet Muhammad and immediately after the Rashidun Caliphate, the Umayyads were a feudal Arab empire ruling over a population which was overwhelmingly non-Arab as well as primarily non-Muslim. Non-Arabs were treated as second-class citizens regardless of whether or not they converted to Islam, and this discontent cutting across faiths and ethnicities ultimately led to the Umayyads' overthrow.[3] The Abbasid family claimed to have descended from al-Abbas, an uncle of the Prophet.
Umayyad Caliphate - Wikipedia
The Umayyad caliphate was marked both by territorial expansion and by the administrative and cultural problems that such expansion created. Despite some notable exceptions, the Umayyads tended to favor the rights of the old Arab families, and in particular their own, over those of newly converted Muslims (mawali). Therefore, they held to a less universalist conception of Islam than did many of their rivals. As G.R. Hawting has written, "Islam was in fact regarded as the property of the conquering aristocracy."[94]
Modern Arab nationalism regards the period of the Umayyads as part of the Arab Golden Age which it sought to emulate and restore.[dubious – discuss] This is particularly true of Syrian nationalists and the present-day state of Syria, centred like that of the Umayyads on Damascus.
The Hashimiyya movement (a sub-sect of the Kaysanites Shia), led by the Abbasid family, overthrew the Umayyad caliphate. The Abbasids were members of the Hashim clan, rivals of the Umayyads, but the word "Hashimiyya" seems to refer specifically to Abu Hashim, a grandson of Ali and son of Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyya. ... The negative view of the Umayyads held by Shias is briefly expressed in the Shi'a book "Sulh al-Hasan".[102] According to Shia hadiths, which are not considered authentic by Sunnis, Ali described them as the worst Fitna.[103] In Shia sources, the Umayyad Caliphate is widely described as "tyrannical, anti-Islamic and godless".[104][105]
