Saudi Arabia, Blogging And The Freedom Of Expression
2009-07-13 09:15:00 The internet is an excellent source of information, and the development of social media has revolutionised the way the internet is being used. True, the UGC is a great opportunity for marketing enthusiasts. But more importantly, the Web has given a excellent platform for people to speak out aloud, whether in appreciation, critical review, or more importantly, in dissent. The Iran Elections took the world by surprise. We blogged about how Iran citizens were using Twitter to broadcast their voices of revolution in a country where civil rights are suppressed without much regard. (On a more retrospective tone, we also blogged about how civil dissent on the internet is easier to monitor and thereby suppress). Which is why this article by Reuters on bloggers testing the boundaries in Saudi Arabia is very relevant to the current scenario. The article mentions how bloggers in Saudi Arabai are forming a close community. Saudi Arabia is well known for its press censorship which is why it is v...

Clinton, Obama, Saudi Arabia And China. Comments On The Comments.
2009-06-07 17:48:00 The other day, I did a quick post in a pique of anger at the US criticizing China's Human Rights record while Barack Obama was travelling in or to Saudia Arabia and Egypt. I found it absurd that we would be going after China for its HR issues at the same time we were (and have) pretty much completely ignored the far far worse records of Egypt and Saudi Arabia (and Syria, and Yemen and Libya and Zimbabwe, etc.). Not only do I find this selective calling out of countries hypocritical, but I also think it ineffective. On top of that, I see it being done not so much to bring about change in places like China, but to play well politically at home. Obama was elected on a platform of change and when he does things like that, he only reinforces that it's politics as usual. Needless to say, this post brought a wealth of comments and in this post, I respond to each and every one of your comments. First off, let me say that I appreciated ALL of your comments, even those that attacked...

Saudi Judge gives ignorant excuses for domestic violence. Are we much bett
2009-05-13 16:24:00 Cnn.com was quoted this week:Judge Hamad Al-Razine said that "if a person gives SR 1,200 [$320] to his wife and she spends 900 riyals [$240] to purchase an abaya [the black cover that women in Saudi Arabia must wear] from a brand shop and if her husband slaps her on the face as a reaction to her action, she deserves that punishment."The judge also ignorantly stated:Al-Razine "also pointed out that women's indecent behavior and use of offensive words against their husbands were some of the reasons for domestic violence in the country," it added.We can all see the ignorance in those comments about what domestic violence actually is. The blog world is on fire about the judges comments, and people are making comments about how backwards this thinking is. That's being NICE!As the author at It Dawned on Me statedI lived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for 14 months many years ago. Every time I see stories like this, it makes me angry.

Saudi Power/Influence in the United KIngdom -- Her Majesty's Britain
2009-03-31 23:28:00 Saudi Arabia has the power/influence not only to have American newspapers --that like to see themselves as "talking truth to power"-- bend over backwards to justify Saudi massacres of civilians but they have power/influence in the UK --Britain-- too. David Pryce-Jones reports several cases, one of which we have reported on Emet m'Tsiyon. In Britain Saudi demands have perverted the normal system of criminal investigation and caused injustice against British citizens oppressed ["mistreated"] by the Saudi kingdom. The situation is outrageous but it seems that there is not enough outrage to correct it.Here is our previous post on Saudi-demanded perversion of political and journalistic decency in the United States. What does it mean that the press and universities and judicial systems in supposedly democratic countries pervert their own conduct in order to please the superrich bigots who represent Wahhabi Islam?Many of Israel's enemies in America try to have things both ways.

The Mecca Massacre 1987 -- The Power/Influence of Saudi Arabia in the USA
2009-03-18 17:35:00 UPDATING 3-19-2009 & 3-21-2009 & 3-26-2009Anti-Zionism is the anti-imperialism of foolsA bloody event in Mecca on July 31, 1987, demonstrated the power or influence of Saudi Arabia in the United States, and over the communications media in particular. During the yearly Muslim haj pilgrimage to Mecca --occurring in July that year according to the Gregorian calendar-- Saudi police beat to death [or shot] a mass of Iranian pilgrims, estimated in numbers from 400 to 1500. Either the minimal or maximal number would be a shocking number of victims of police brutality. Now, police brutality had become a theme for outrage for many Americans, especially those considering themselves "liberals", "progressives", "leftists" and "radicals". If this shocking incident would end up by applying the label of "police brutality" to Saudi Arabia, that could cause difficulties for the Saudi-American relationship, a relationship which was profitable in money terms not only for the Saudi royal famil...

Saudi Arabia: 75 Year Old Woman Sentenced To 40 Lashes And Prison
2009-03-09 22:21:00 Our wonderful friends the SaudisA Saudi Arabian court has sentenced a 75-year-old Syrian woman to 40 lashes, four months imprisonment and deportation from the kingdom for having two unrelated men in her house, according to local media reports.According to the Saudi daily newspaper Al-Watan, troubles for the woman, Khamisa Mohammed Sawadi, began last year when a member of the religious police entered her house in the city of Al-Chamli and found her with two unrelated men, "Fahd" and "Hadian."Fahd told the policeman that he had the right to be there, because Sawadi had breast-fed him as a baby and was therefore considered to be a son to her in Islam, according to Al-Watan. Fahd, 24, added that his friend Hadian was escorting him as he delivered bread for the elderly woman. The policeman then arrested both men.Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam called Wahhabism and punishes unrelated men and women who are caught mingling.The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and...
Child Marriage In Saudi Arabia
2009-03-08 02:59:00 Just found this great article on child marriage in Saudi Arabia. Read it all. It explains that the concept of child marriage in Saudi Arabia is not just some fringe idea. Yet despite this Saudi Arabia is still considered one of our closest allies. I will never understand this.In the nation of Saudi Arabia the despotic feudal system remains and the rights of girls, women, non-Muslims, Shia Muslims, and others, are violated by the Sunni Islamic justice system. Despite this, major nations still desire to trade with Saudi Arabia and the oil factor and geopolitical issue, appears to override human rights. So when will Saudi Arabia be challenged by the international community?Before focusing on deeper political issues it is important to mention that laws in Saudi Arabia are based on Sharia Islamic Law and the Hadiths. Therefore, we are not talking about people on the margins of society who have no power, but who support child marriage; on the contrary, we are talking about major political...
Saudi Arabia: Two Men Detained For Trying To Get Woman Authors Autograph
2009-03-07 16:11:00 No autograph for you. Oh the joys of living under Islamic Law. (CNN) -- Saudi Arabia's religious police detained two male novelists for questioning last week after they attempted to get the autograph of a female writer at a book fair in Riyadh, according to local media reports.According to the Saudi daily newspaper Al-Watan, Abdu Khal and Abdullah Thabet approached female writer Halima Muzfar when they were stopped by police.Both novelists, who were held for questioning but not charged with a crime, are demanding an apology from the conservative Muslim kingdom's Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.The commission, feared by many Saudis, is made up of several thousand religious policemen charged with, among other things, enforcement of dress codes, mandatory observance of prayer times and segregation of the sexes.Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam called Wahhabism and punishes unrelated men and women who are caught mingling in public.Saud...

Obama flunkey denies that Obama supports Saudi "peace plan"
2008-11-18 14:34:00 UPDATED 11-20-2008see at bottomDennis Ross, now an Obama flunkey, formerly a "peace processor" in the State Dept during Clinton's tenure, has denied that the so-called "Arab peace plan," first proposed by Saudi Arabia, will be part of president-elect Obama's foreign policy. We all recognize the peaceful role played by Saudi Arabia for many years in financing Hamas and before that funding arafat and the Fatah. We also acknowledge that Saudi Arabia is the right country to propose peace plans because of its known devotion to religious tolerance, human rights and justice for all, especially Jews.However, the trouble with Ross' denial is that a flunkey made it, not Obama himself. It cannot be taken seriously if The One himself does not make it. On the other hand, BHO has contradicted himself so often that we can never be sure where he stands on any issue. And where he stands today might not be where he stands two weeks from now.As to the Saudi plan, it is also called the "Arab peace p...

Did a Hidden Saudi Hand Help Obama Rise to Fame and Fortune?
2008-09-08 06:46:00 Percy Sutton, former president of Manhattan Borough [that is, Manhattan island, a separate borough within New York City], disclosed in a TV interview that he had written letters to influential persons at Harvard to help Obama get into the law school. Sutton had done this on the recommendation of one Khalid al-Mansour, a Muslim convert and --according to Sutton-- "the principal advisor to one of the world's richest men." Since al-Mansour's Saudi ties are known, it is quite possible or even likely that certain Saudis, in particular, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, helped Obama with money and with influence, or string-pulling in plain English.Here is a video of the interview. This post on Judith Klinghoffer's blog also gives links to some background info on Khalid al-Mansour.Here is a report in Investor's Business Daily.Here is more commentary on israpundit.Is Obama a Manchurian Candidate representing Saudi interests?- - - - - - - - -Coming: More on Obama the war candidate, More on th...

Saudi woman attacked by her husband - Saudi governement sends him home, and
2008-07-09 15:13:00 I found this story on the Daily Barometer about a women and her family that were here in the US it seems to finish her education. I'm sure her husband was here for either that reason, work, or just to be here with his wife! The story really doesn't get into all that. According to the story she had a fight with her husband about how he wanted to go home to Saudi Arabia, and I guess according to her and her health issues as she was with child she wanted to wait until after the birth. It sounds like her husband had already called to cancel her scholarship here, because he wanted to go home. The fight was about the birth, and the fact she wanted to finish her education. They were staying at a Motel, and he ended up assaulting her. She left the room, but I guess her appearance as she was bloody alarmed others that called for help. I guess because she is here on a paid scholarship she is to contact the the Saudi Arabian embassy when trouble brews, and because of her appearance other...

Saudi court ruling over abused maid slammed
2008-05-23 01:53:00 A rights group has voiced outrage at a Saudi court for failing to punish the employers of an Indonesian housemaid who abused her so much she had to have her toes and fingers amputated.New York-based Human Rights Watch called for an appeals court to "impose stiff penalties on the employers, including imprisonment, and payment of significant financial compensation" to the woman, Nour Miyati.HRW said on Wednesday that Miyati, who was awarded just $670 in compensation by a Riyadh court, told the organisation her "employers beat her daily and that she had to work long hours without rest or pay."They withheld her passport, knocked out a tooth and caused damage to one of her eyes. The abuse escalated after she tried to escape; her employers locked her in the workplace and denied her adequate food."HRW said Miyati was eventually treated at a Riyadh hospital in March 2005 for "gangrene, malnourishment and other injuries" and that delays in treatment resulted in her losing her toes and finger...

Saudi Arabia Agrees to Increase Oil Output After Crude Hits Another New Hig
2008-05-19 10:15:00 Oil soared to yet another record high on Friday after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) raised its price forecast for the second half of the year. However, during a visit with Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah U.S. President George W. Bush was able to convince the world’s leading oil exporter to increase its output. Light sweet crude for June delivery jumped $3.31 a barrel, or 2.7%, to reach $127.43 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil prices have now soared 103% in the past 12 months. The jump was largely attributable to a new prediction from investment-banking giant Goldman Sachs, which raised its price forecast for the second half of the year to $141 a barrel. Goldman Sachs analysts had previously quoted a price of $107 a barrel. “Supply constraints continue to push crude prices higher,” Goldman analysts wrote in a research note Friday. “The dire macroeconomic impact from the current oil shock has yet to materialize.” This is the...
