After looking at the cover of The Independent, Jowhara thinks it’s funny how the Western media are so critical of the Middle East. She asks, instead of looking at King Fahad’s shortcomings, “why cant they look at the good stuff that he has done such as opening mosques and schools sponsoring orphans and giving large donations to charity?”

I’ve been reading several sources of the Western media in the past few days, and I think most of their content was balanced and fair. They mentioned King Fahad’s mistakes and shortcomings, but they also focused on his guidance to the country for development and modernization, and his critical decisions.
