		<description><![CDATA[Ismael Al Zahrani,

Mind not all these comments, these people do not understand your language. However, today is your lucky day… I have studied anthropology and can speak your language my Neanderthal friend.

Thank you for all the “thick Zahrani” jokes we hear everyday, with you going around by that name, the reason painfully obvious…
Perhaps you should ask ms. Hussain to teach you how to use spell and grammar check before you post your Neanderthal remarks… after all, neither you nor her speak English as a native language, but the difference is clear.

Perhaps you should remember that the finest sword known to Arabs is called “Muhannad” which translates into “made in India”.
Perhaps you should remember that up until the last century, the official currency of many parts of the Arabian Peninsula was the Indian rupee.
Perhaps you should remember that the numerals we use in the Arabic language today are Hindi numbers.
Perhaps you should remember that up until the early 1970’s, before we could afford hiring actual human beings from India and the rest of the world to help us build this great country, we had all the dog work done by Neanderthals from your part of Arabia. Those who, until today, are living side by side with monkeys on their own turf. If it wasn’t for us, YOU would have been starving in your cave, not knowing the meaning of employment.

How dare equate yourself with us Saudis of superior races. Looking up might break your Neanderthal neck.
Do not forget that you are a “07”.
How dare you question the wisdom of your “sheiks” when they elected to give her and Mr. Hindi Saudi nationalities. الشيوخ أبخص أنت ووجهك
Do not forget your real place in society.
Do not forget why we conquered you 100 years ago. While your ancestors were sitting on their asses, my ancestors were on their horsebacks with their “Muhannad” swords making history.
I dare you Ismael, to even gather the nerve to knock on the door of a pure Najdi family and ask to marry into them.
You would never do that of course, after all you know your place in OUR pure society. Should you need a reminder, check your history.

Now that you are put in your right place, I urge you to crawl back into whatever cave you came from and have one of those monkeys to whom you can obviously relate groom that huge chip off your shoulder.

PS.  I apologize to all human beings who read this for the disgusting taste of Ismael’s own medicine.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First i like to say Great Post! 

Like my favorite quote of all time says &quot;Oh, what a tangled web we weave&quot; Its so hard to grasp the meaning behinds Saudis mediocrity on changing for the best.

We have not changed, we have only convinced our selves that we have actually took a step forward, when actually what has changed was mediocre.

I can sit here and talk about womens rights, but why should i waste my breath? (figuratively speaking of course ;) )

but, i will leave here with saying that things in this world will never just fall into our laps, if we want it, we will fight for it.... I&#039;m glad to see this woman standing up for it, that puts a smile on my face... seeing someone take a step into betterment even if it was a little makes me think of how incredibly brave they are :) .. Like another favorite quote says &quot; a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step&quot;

Take single steps people, it will end up a journey of a thousand miles :)

		<description><![CDATA[A Hindi like Lubna Hidyat Hussain? Yes, you are, and so is your poor mentality and state of mind. Why don&#039;t you take this Hindi turned naturalized Saudi thru wedding away with you? We want to get rid of the trash from our great country. You are sick minded person, who calls us racists. Had we been so, the Kingdom would have not seen the more than 1.5 millin Hindi earning their bread from here, while they would ahve been starving back in their country unemployed. And perhaps you are one of them. Who knows you may have been given the money to study abroad from one of our ouwn citizen. Think before shooting your mouth when emitting the poisionous saliva of a deadly cobra. Shame on you for calling me a racist.Thats your Indian culture.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I knew it! I knew it! Lubna Hussain was just too  intelligent and articulate to be a saudi. I always had my suspicions. And now, I got some natural born, full blooded, bigoted  saudi to confirm my suspicions. [Thanks Ismail Zahrani. Who says bigotry and racism doesn&#039;t have a positive side? You my racist friend, are an asset to your kind.]]]></description>
