From what I understand, this inability to work together for a common goal stems from how the culture is set up to not put others before yourself to help them first. It’s this giving to others and worrying about other’s situations in Christianity that is one of the major differences theologically between Islam and Christianity. We recognize our success by helping others to reach success and mirror this.

[...] when we want to protest publicly? We go to the internet and start a campaign online. Back in 2006 I wrote, ”Online campaigning is appealing to many people because most of the time it doesn’t take much [...]

I just want you to know that I read your blog fairly often, and today is the second time I’ve quoted you in my own blog. I’m an American who lived for three years in Morocco and is committed to helping my friends there move their society forward through frank discussion and collective action, as you say here. I’m very much of the “change comes from within” school. Each culture has to find its own way at its own pace, and I wish you luck. I’m impressed at what you’re doing, and though you probably choose your words carefully sometimes, you’re already saying a lot.

I love the way you used the feminine pronoun as in "her blog"!

My sense (one which I came to have while I lived in Riyadh) is that there are a lot of young people who hold your views. And would like to express themselves as you do...you are making it possible for them to do so, hopefully in the not so distant future.

At any rate, I am in awe of your intelligence and courage. You are setting a fine example for young people all around the world, not just in KSA.

Oh yeah "Reader in UAE",
you're right there's so much to learn from the middle-age! Been where i've been, seen what i've seen in KSA... Been so amazed how women have no existence in bedouin society, and been amazed with so many other things, no need to explain in details.
From what i can remember, revolutions around the world have always been planned and directed by influencing bourgeoisie, not by popular leaders or the people itself!
I usually blame blind terror, but sometimes i think some people don't understand words, only kicks!
Whatever, fortunately i came to meet nice Saudis, young people, much more openminded that i could imagine, much more interesting and hope teinted than other GCC cows.
The youth is the only good thing i can remember from this country, but had to leave not to become mad.

Yalla, see ya, and good luck for your pseudo never ending intellectual online masturbation. Hope that with a large majority of the population under 25, things will finally explode.

first of all.. thanks for talking about (ween albagee?).. and im sure that this post will do alot..

we are so happy about the bloggers' reaction, that we really did not expect it when we started the campaign.. although we know how much the idea means for our community.. but the problem always was :the negative public opinion in general .. which we are trying to change before any thing else..

HOPE THE BEST ALWAYS :)
