Prince Naif Bin Abdul-Aziz, the minister of interiors, said women would not be allowed to participate in the coming municipal elections. “This is unthinkable,” he added. I expected that, but why didn’t he tell us why?
In addition to that, the same ministry made an announcement to warn all non-Muslim expatriates in the country from eating, drinking or smoking in public during the day in the holy month of Ramadhan. The ministry said anyone who does not obey this order would be kicked out of the country.
It’s ironic how the ministry is calling the foreigners to respect the feelings of Muslims, while the regime here is not showing any respect to people with other religions or beliefs.

I would like to speak with you ,

Hey Medya,
Yep, I’m originally Arab. Unfortunately I don’t use Yahoo! Messenger, but you can contact me using the email address at the bottom of this page.
This is the hypocrisy of the Muslim world. They cry out foul when they are discriminated against, yet they practice systematic discrimination against people of different faiths. It’s pathetic, if you ask me!
It will take time to open up closed minds. But change is possible, one step at a time. Are Saudi women aware of Ferial Al Masry. She is running as candidate in California? She was born in Mecca. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4128409
