@cfvcfvcfvcfvcfvcfvcf Misleading?? She basically summed up Saudi Arabia in a short video... I'm an Arab , I been to Saudi Arabia and it sucks!!! Not only that now any girl that looks boyish gets arrested in Saudi Arabia and still Women can't drive....
@cfvcfvcfvcfvcfvcfvcf Don't give me this whole "i'm saudi and I know better" , what gives the immoral police to go around harrassing women??? What gives em the rite to perv on women? Why can't women drive? Why can't women go out with males who aren't from their family? Heck I bet even if she was out with her cousin if they aren't married theyd get arrested... Your country sucks! Women don't even have basic human rites...

lol that is so not true! I am a saudi girl, and i can go wherever I want alone.
And yes we can go to gyms, we have our own gyms u know as in ladies only gyms.. that doesnt bother us whatsoever! what difference would it make having guys there! lol
The "Mutawa" are just the Moral police which they have everywhere! they dont force anything they just correct.. and if you are not a muslim they wouldnt force you to do anything lol this just would be crazy!
@RuGyr where do the moral police get thier instructions from....from Allah, from islam - 7 century bullshit that enslaves men and women in a bronze age mind set.
hahahaha she doesn't know how to lie like others hahah i can't stop laughing
she is standing infront of a shop of men shoes .... look at the website written above the gate why in the hell ladies wander there?? we R not like U looking for men everywhere
then she lied to much about the religous police
the job of them actually is to protect the women >> if any man wana bother me while i'm shoping they will stop him .... with them i can go anywher any time and also without the guardian
there are many positive aspects for saudi woman that you did not show, or in fact you do not want to find them finally if you trying to find the negative things, you are going to find them in any place in the world, I am studying in Canada and I see many bad things happens to the woman too that i do not see it in Saudi.
Why you're trying to show people a bad picture of my community, all your informations are wrong and it's a such a strange thing that you were in saudi and you still have wrong picture about it,
Saudi Arabia must be the worst place for a woman to born in this planet. Oh man, I hate so much these stupid fuckers with their ugly "fancy" white pajamas.
Silly americans, you're aloud to show your wrists, yes we're a bit sexist, but every country is! Yes women should drive! But really calling us sexist? That a new low! Well at least we're not in 13 trillions of debt! ;)
@pirillapiupiu umm yes, but not for "crimes" like apostasy, adultery, drug use, fornication. and lethal injection vs. public beheading? i think i'd take lethal injection.
all i can say this is our country and we will run it in the way we like so if you dont like our way GTFO
u all talk like u know it all but you all know nothing, our country have its own original culture if you dont like it fuck off we will be like this way we will never change
if i came to you country and asked you to change your culture to our culture what is your response ???!! yeah the same response here too which is FUCK OFF
Saudi Arabia is for the Saudis ...those that go there to work become slaves ....and are abused ( all those in the domestic and construction fields) and yes people are punished in the Chop chop Plaza and they are killed there too, I agree with the one comment that they are number 1 ( requesting sex and rape and abuse including sexual abuse towards girls , It is a Hypocrisy and yes they say one thing and do another .......I am happy all this is exposed .....and for the world to know ..
@zarah1020 dear for ur info saudi arabia kill poeple those how comite sex ,rape and drug dealers. did u know that saudi arabia is one of the lowest crime rate in the world.

people still get beheaded in saudi , gays get killed , blasphemy is punishable by death , leaving islam is punishable by death , in saudi there is no freedom of religions , freedom of press and tv, freedom of any kind , i lived there i know , there are sepperate areas in shopping malls for men , everything is segregated , saudi men are the biggest perverts they go europe and dubai to hire hookers , they rape filipino workers , all my male friends got raped by mnarried saudi men
very strange! Women can walk and make shopping in the same place that this woman is talking in. I don't know why she said that women are separated while camera showed us women walking. I know this place well. Really, very strange!
@caitlinpolk how the fuck is she un educated ? i lived in saudi for 2 years , she is right about everything , saudis are the biggest hypcrites , i once got approached by the police in ryadh and was told to give him a phone number for a female that would have sex with him , if i don't find him a female to fuck he will take me to the police station and charge me with something , saudi is completely corrupted and disgusting
Saudi should let women drive, nothing wrong there, the women at night thing is good, but i doubt in a land where men fear God, that anything bad would happen to a lady while she was alone. Regardless it shows you how they avoid the Trickery of Satan. which is a good thing. Unlike here in the west women are treated worse than pigs.
This Reporter is an idiot. Trying so hard to give Saudi a bad image. I'm not Saudi but i've lived in Saudi almost all of my life, and i wouldn't trade that for anything.
I am a licensed Saudi tour guide from SCTA, and I think there is misconception of the report, the ladies can walk in the street, but the place where you are is the old souk, which sells mostly traditional men cloths, and most of Saudi ladies prefer to go to new malls.
If any one like to know more about Saudi Arabia you can visit my Facebook page SaudiTourism, which is dedicated to introduce Saudi history, Culture, Site seeings, and future development plans..
@Abmo9283 bullshit, i've been to saudia arabia and you don't ever een see women. if you ever get to see one, you don't really "see" her if you know what i mean lol i.e niqab, gloves etc
Non of this is right, i am from saudi arabia ! and i can tell that woman can go to the mall can go to every where alone but there is 2 kinds of woman here in saudi arabia: 1- woman in high class they go high class resturants high class malls ... 2- woman in low class i mean woman that don't know english as well and they are not open minded that much .. so i expect to change your vision :)
@TheMissdee95 Sister start making your plans now to leave SA and islam. But Please be very careful and don't tell anyone (NOT a Soul) of your plans. Please if you get a chance run as far away from SA and islam as you can. Remember I told you this. I wish You Safety, Love and Luck!
Peaceful? When you bomb an entire innocent nation (Iraq) and kill all their innnocent men, women, and children?
I like Katie Couric, but it's not apartheid or discrimination that women and men have their separate entrances for stores, etc. We as muslim men have to work and the women do not have to work, yet we don't complain about this. Men and women are created differently, one is not superior to the other. This has to be kept in mind.

@masala505 Because if she was a woman & had kids... Who will raise them? their dad might me be in a job and is too busying making money for them... If a mother dies in islam we cry a sea. but not questioning her fate.
believe me , this video shows a bad vision about saudi arabia . our womens are different in how to wear the Abaya . this is our tradition, and they wear it by them self . no one can force them to wear anything thy doesn't want to , she can go where ever she want , she doesn't either stop on the line and wait ! and she doesn't drive her car but she has her own driver !! :) please stop the hate you have , and don't say bad things just because you hate's us ..
I lived in KSA for 2 years back in the late 90's and as a woman I hated it. My husband was busy at work, I was left to defend myself against sexual assaults every day I left our house. I had our house "friend" escort me but the men liked to grab at me anyways. The women I met, just not into the same things I am, they were so worried about really meaningless things, and not at all concerned about important issues. I was so happy when we came back the the states.
@spacepainter777 Well I have lived in the third world long enough to know,and tell the difference between the free soceity in the US,and the lack of freedom in most other third world countries,and I firmly believe that these other countries would be well served to take a hint of what can be achieved by having a open soceity where individuals rights and aspirations are respected and honored above religious ideology.
@spacepainter777 If US law was so terrible how come so many Arabs are coming to the US to live and raise their kids,I dont see Americans going to live in Jeddah or Medina,where its forbidden to wear a cross,have visited Israel or even have a Bible in your bag.Its ridiculous that Saudis and other muslim arabs dont tolerate others and want all to conform to them,but they want their so called practices to be accepted when they travel abroad..its very hypocritical and disgusting.
@spacepainter777 There are no swift and brutal punishments for "criminals" under the US justice system,an accused gets his day in court,right to representation and right to trial by jury of 12 of his peers,nobody opens up a Bible in US courts and syas you are guilty of anything until proven.US laws are complicated to you because they there is no burden of proof on the prosecution in your Sharia courts.Here you have to prove beyond reasonable doubt not by hearsay.
@spacepainter777 Actually your are right about one thing,that Saudi laws are primitive and barbaric...and that it works for them...quite frankly they can keep it like that for all I care..not like I'll be moving there anytime soon.Cheers.
Anyone who want to know about Mainstream, Traditional, True & Actual Islam go through the site - c i f i a o n l i n e.com - (enter without space) & stay away from falling in absolute deception spreading by Saudi funded Wahabi / Salafi fake scholars, mosques, religious centers & charity organizations & its subcontinental concubine Deobandism/ Tablighi Jamaat. Only preaching & spreading their deviant filthy ideology, fanaticism, terrorism & hatred falsely hijacking name of Islam.
the ruling religion of saudia is a fanatic cult of wahabism not Islam, wahabism is totally contradictory of what is mainstream, traditional & actual Islam.
if u said that cuz of this video or what happens in Saudi .. then let me tell that Saudi is the only Islamic country there r many other countries So it's just wrong if u judge islam only for what happens in Saudi
@m3ro100 Well than what about: Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somali, Libya to name a few. Last time checked, they are not the bastion of equality for women. The only Islamic countries that may have a descent level of equality for women is Turkey and Jordan, they are far more moderate and that is the reason why.
those countries u v'e named r like Saudi and even worst !!
u said that Turkey and Jordan are r equal for woman then why didn't u judge islam according
to these countries ..!!
by the way ..u forgot to mention UAE , Egypt , Syria , Qatar, Kuwait ,Malaysia , Bahrain , lebanon and Azerbaijan, as islamic countries have a descent level of quality for women !! I think they r moderate just like turkey and Jordan ..
@m3ro100 Okay, I should have mentioned some of these countries as well; however I would not include Syria, Kuwait and Egypt as moderate. As an ex maple, I was listening to several Egyptian clerics preaching on the merits and benefits of beating your wife. They were saying that the Koran mandates that a husband must discipline his wife by beating her. My question to you is, do you agree with this sort of barbaric teaching or not. Please give me you honest answer.
to be honest with as u asked me to .. I definitely disagree beating the wife .. but to make thing clear to u
beating the wife not just the wife any person even animals is forbidden in islam ..
prophet mahammad forbid beating the wife and he says " How strange is this .. u beat them at day and sleep with them at night !! " and he says " Do not beat your family "
it's just there is Sick muslims out there do what ever they want and blame it on islam
@m3ro100 You sound like a very strong woman and devoted to your faith. I'd like to add, as long as this is your choice and that it is not imposed on you, in anyway, shape or form. I am a man who has five sister under me, I was raised to respect and honor them. I extend that respect and honor to all women. You are the mothers of all human beings. I will fight to my death to defend your right to choose your own path in this life. This is what I believe in. I wish you peace and blessings.
@cjfl1962 , of course it's my choice or i wouldn't be here talking about it with u .
I'd like to add as well , I have a father n 5 brothers non of them beat me or mom or my sisters even that silly way . i really respect the way u look at women specially mothers it's important in islam as well " Paradise is under the feet of mothers " .
thanks again for u're respect . wish u all the best bro.
@m3ro100 I looked at the link you sent me, I must respectfully disagree with his teaching. He said as a third option you can beat her as a last resort. In my culture and faith, there is no beating allowed at all. I am a man and I am stronger than a woman and I don't have any right to beat her under any circumstances. I'd rather sleep on the roof of my house in the cold than to hit my wife, whether lightly and hard. I respect your beliefs but I just don't want women abuse or mistreated.
@m3ro100 Yes, I understand his point of view but what I'm against is the whole idea of ruling over your house by resorting to getting physical with your wife. I respectfully but firmly think it is wrong...period. If she doesn't obey, will the husband make the beating more harsh. As a man, and stronger than my wife, I always have the option of walking away before things get out of hand. I'm not trying to judge, I just see my wife as my equal, she has the right to her own opinions.
Well , these teaching options r not must to do, and No he can't make it harsh he should stop and if he wouldn't do it from the beginning will be better as it's not the first solution. And the man in the video was describing the light beat . However , I think the way man rule his house is up to his personality and the way he was raised . I mean if islam courage harsh beating like i always hear ,there's alot of non ,muslim men beat their wifes .. so it's just up to the man not religion
@m3ro100 I agree, women are mistreated in other societies. When I speak of the rights of women and denounce oppression of them, I am referring to where ever it takes place. In the USA, where I live, I don't like to see women objectified as sex symbols for men to lust after. U see women in bikinis advertising cars or other products, this is wrong but at the same time, I also hate that young girls can't go to school in Afghanistan because the Taliban says it is against Islam would kill them.
Yeah i hate that too, but like u said women mistreated in societies ,the same thing happens in Afghanistan ,not islam who's against education it's Taliban .same thing in Saudi my country that prevents women drive , not because islam against it but saudi societie is against it .and here u see mixing of religion with the culture of the society which cause confusing ,that's why when i want to know the truth about religion i look at the source it's book weather Bible , Quran, Toura ...etc
@m3ro100 Speaking of sources of religion, it amazes me how the Torah, Bible and the Koran have much in common. All three share stories like that of Job. It is also unfortunate the amount of hate and conflict all three have imposed on each other. Maybe this will change one day. Also, I'd like to know, in general, what do Saudi Arabians think of Americans? Do they think we hate Muslims and Islam? DO they think we all think the same and hold the same values? I'm curious to hear your perspective.
@m3ro100 Regarding restrictions that society places on women, I think the source of it is that men run things in most societies and they see equality for women as a treat to them and their status. America had the same struggles and it is still not equal in some ways. As an example, women out number men in college graduations but only represent 2-3 percent of the top executives running corporations. It is getting better but there is still much more progress needed. America is a work in progress.
I agree and i hope Saudi will follow America in that . And my answers for your Questions are
In general i think all Saudis like Americans if not all most of them do .and Yes, there's Americans hate us and our religion but can't say all of them cuz there's nice American ppl judging from what i saw . and for the last Ques No, not all ppl are the same even if u live in the same country ,same culture u cant hv the same values . After all , Not all your fingers are the same .
@m3ro100 After the 1965 Civil Rights movement, a shift happen in American. As a result of this movement, immigration laws were modified allowing people to immigrate from more than just Western Europe. As a result, American has become a multiracial, multicultural, multi-religious society. I agree, most Americans believe in freedom of religion and tolerance. However, there are some who dislike Islam because of terrorism around the world. They forget that the terrorists kill Muslims too.
Yeah i heard about that. but also they don't know that Islam Repudiation terrorist even if he was muslim , because it's killing without right ><" even for non muslim .
@m3ro100 I think moderate Muslims need get your message out more. Problem is in this world, I'm not just speaking of America, needs to hear from moderates instead of the angry and, hateful Islamic militants. People the world over, regrettably and unfairly, have this image of all Muslims being terrorist and intolerant of other non-Muslims. It is my hope that moderate Muslims and Non-Muslims join together in discussions to understand and respect each other; after all, we are all human beings.
i really hate people who complain about other countries i mean if you hate it then why do u go live there just stay in your country im not saying ur not welcomed ur always welcomed but u dont have to complain about it
and what the mattaw does is remind people about prayers and shops that are still open during prayer times to close all the bad stories u hear about em are fake there good people judging from wat i saw.
I will never go to a country and live in a Compound , what is this life will be ?
Compound = jail
and how you will know the culture and enjoy it ? stop Compounding and live with people for once of your life !! if you like your way off living stay in your country and stop copying your style of living where ever you go !!! I don't see any Saudian live in Compound in USA or UK
Compounds are safe haven where people can dress in thier own clothes, have friends over and just chill. Im saudi and Im telling you there is practically nothing about saudi culture worth understanding to the extent that you would want to live outside a compound. People come to Saudi not cause they want, cause quite frankly no one wants to live in the middle of the desert. They do it for money, for thier jobs, I just wanted to say back off and think twice
Why did this video get so many dislikes? Are a bunch of Arabs watching this and thinking hey man don't bash my country it's not that bad? This lady is showing how shitty it is for women there. This video is awesome to me, great info.
@spacepainter777 that was a really dumb comment,are you implying that the Saudis dont hang,behead or kill people?????Do the Saudis even give you a lawyer if you were to steal a loaf of bread.....in the US even if you kill someone you get a lawyer.Stop being a hypocrite and acknowledge the fact that compared to the US,Saudis still live in the middle ages.If not for your oil,you would be worse than Yemen.
Saudi's law system .. hmm. defines INJUSTICE. Someone i know closely is sentenced to a beheading because he *threatened* to use his gun. he's not even allowed to have a lawyer.
i'm from saudi arabia and i can tell you the truth about women, women can walk in the streets, malls, hospitals alone. They don't need to be watched from men, but i prefare to help my mother,wife and sisters and i'm so happy to give them assestenc.
@FARIS122959 Dear Faris, how is it that women in SA can walk in streets, malls and hospitals alone and stil need the assistance you're so happy to give them?
Come on, ho do you think you're kidding? The discrimination of women in SA and other islamic countries is an undisputable fact and the Western world becomes more and more aware of the ugly face of islam.
Show me your mothers drivers license or simply shut up!
@jwluiten01 fisrt of all, i would like you to learn nice english words to help you talking with people, when i said i'm happy to help my mother, wife and sisters i meant when they need it. we have many issues and we only are the people who can solve it, not you, in westren socity there is discrimination such as pay of salary for women is less than man, and if you want more type of women discrimination you'll find and the westrn media does not focus on it.the truth is clear for person seeking it
how long u lived there, and still not knowing how they live???
I think if you live among Saudi themselve you will really understand the culture, not like living in a compound all ur life and go malls whenever you are bored annd talk about how they arrears outside.
my lady what you have said is not true please make sure when you give such an information like that.I Also, I don't think that there is a women can have better life with dignity like the women is Saudi Arabia and in Islam in general
@fsultana Brother please don't wast time with ignorant americans please do not bother with them they suffer from 1)patriotism 2) arrogance 3)ignorance, I mean they call us barbaric but yet they don't consider premartial sex, abortions, unwanted pregnances, rape, racism, drunkeness, drug abuse, robery, and porn, brother it really is no use, so just ignore them
"uhh,i dont know,for fun?" are you fucking retarded?why would you even be there?gosh,i dont get how people can accuse muslims of being ignorant when they're as fucking retarded.
KATIE, YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS THE STAUNCHEST ALLY OF THE BRUTAL SAUDI REGIME.THEY HAVE USED A PRETEXT OF ISLAM TO CREATE A POLICE STATE. INFACT, PLEASE LOOK UP HOW THE BRITISH CREATED SAUDI ARABIA AND CARVED OUT THE REST OF THE MUSLIM WORLD. YOU PEOPLE CONSISTENTLY FORGET TO MENTION THAT THESE NATIONS ARE AMERICAN COLONIES. THE NAME ITSELF MEANS " SAUD'S ARABIA". WHO IS THIS SAUD ? READ THE ROLE OF LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, THE BRITISH SPY.
Where the fuck in this video do people seem to be getting that she's even insinuating that America, or any country for that matter, is problem-free? Because she didn't, except for problems of the middle ages.
Saudi Arabia looks like a beautiful city full of nice buildings and pious ordered people but ironicaly for such a religious society it is so souless there is absolutely nothing to do but pray, conform and shop.
Oh and chop chop square is just outside the police head quaters. It looks sooo scary aye! Homg! lol really the most blatantly stupid reporting next to TYT's report on a Saudi woman beating a Religious police policeman.
It is so funny how she is like "women can't go out especially at night alone" and in the background are women walking around at night without men. Even one woman has her baby with her. She must feel real safe to do that.
WTF ? what's this ? some kinda FOX show ? come on guys what don't u take a look at other things rather than looking at religious organizations ?? take a trip to any decent Saudi family and organize it before so you can learn how things actually work !!
this is the execution area ,, this is Muttawa area really WTF ?? why r u guys always looking at cons ? I'm living on the US and I could take a trip to Garey,IN and show people how missed up that place and people are what u think ??
ok I'll tell you what u did in case u have forgotten. You killed One million and half Iraqi people, displaced five million and half in and out Iraq, made millions widows ans orphans and those numbers go on. You wanna talk internally ? fine. How about crimes in the US ? Murder, rape, sexual assault, etc. you may wanna take a look at some of big cities in the US. You wanna talk about why people are getting even when others killed their own family ? It's the law eye for an eye DEAR :)
@JackEl3elm I didn't kill anybody. I'm a broke down hippie! I apoligize for what I said, it was wrong. Based on sterotypes that are probably just as false as your's are about me. Let's give peace a chance, right here, right now. For this one moment in time. Someting simple like, what's your favorite song? Mine's " Imagine", by John Lennon. Also, I'm an artist and a dreamer. What's something you like?
for everyone that says we have a "profoundly sick society" have u ever lived here ?? the thing is don't go saying stuff before educating yourself a bit believing everything that the media says reflects on your own level of sanity .
I love it when journalists make an effort to criticise other nations and pretend they live in paradise... Well, she probably does, but the majority of americans don't. Katie, you are ridiculous, how did you get through college? Cheer leading team? Oh, I'm not Saudi, or muslim. I'm European, and yes, I know you are probably saying I am anti-american, but I'm not, I'm just anti-dumb people in general
@migas27 You are an idiot for taking your freedoms for granted and glorifying the barbaric Saudi culture and law. No Saudi Arabia is definitely not a better place than the US for raising a child. That is why most Saudi children are ignorant of virtually everything apart from religion and are unable to work, and are more prone to violence. What a barbaric society, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
@OhMaDayzz Where do you see me glorifying the Saudi law??? Most Saudi children might be ignorant of a lot of things, but so are the majority of American children an adults, in fact, for you to make such a pretty well informed remark, I would say that if you're american you're either from NY or California, as most of your fellow countrymen live in the dark ages believing in anything including creationist theories that make anyone with 2 braincells to laugh.
@OhMaDayzz And ashamed of myself? I think you are forgetting who is the US greatest ally in this region, side by side with Israel... I live in Riyadh, I see what's around me, I see the slaves from Pakistan and Bangladesh arriving at the airport and being treated like cattle, I wonder how much pressure your country, and mine too make for a better respect of basic human rights. Still, it is not by force that things will change, mentalities will change and Saudi values will also change
@OhMaDayzz Of course that maybe you believe that invading a country and forcing "democracy and human rights" on them is the right way, but then you would sound like one of those americans who still believes that the invasion of Iraq was for humanitary reasons... And we are still seeing how well that is working in Iraq...
Religious extremists are the same everywhere, and america is also full of them.
@migas27 When did I mention forcing anything on anyone? You are confusing facts though, the majority of Iraqis and Afghans support the US presence in their country. You can look at any opinion poll to find this out. Not that I give a damn about Muslims though, they can live like cavemen if they want to it's not my problem. Religious extremists are not the same everywhere. Countries like Saudi where most support stoning people to death for adultery is different to USA. We are civilized.
@OhMaDayzz So, you believe all the opinion polls? I'm not saying that Iraqis liked Sadam, but I wouldn't be too sure if the majority of the population would really say they like it better now... Still, the invasion of Iraq was all about power and money, at the time, everyone knew, for example, that Pakistan was full of terrorist training camps and that they have WMDs, why go into Iraq then? If Sadam had WMDs, I'm sure your MoD would find the receipts somewhere.
@OhMaDayzz And you are civilized? Maybe you as an individual are, but do you really believe that most of the bible bangers that thrive in most of your country are? There are parts of your country where teaching evolution can get you fired. Human rights in the US? Just a few issues: Pvt Manning, Guantanamo, death penalty, Abu Graib, the continuous undermining of all UN resolutions that could help resolve the Palestinian issue...
@OhMaDayzz Regarding stoning people to death, I am against the death penalty no mater what. In your country death penalty is still common practice, and racially biased... So, what I think would be a very good step, would be for Americans to clean up their house, set a good example and then, but only then, should they start pointing fingers.
@migas27 We have death penalty for things like murder only, and no they are not racially biased. Most of the time we do not use the death penalty anyway. You are a hypocrite because you pretend to be for human rights, yet you try to defend Saudi Arabia. Pathetic really..
@OhMaDayzz Where did you see me defending Saudi Arabia??? Are you delirious? Or can't you read? The only thing that might sound like I am defending Saudi is when I say I'd find it safer for my kids to grow in Saudi than in most of the US. Other than that, all I did was to make a remark about an awful attempt of journalism.
@OhMaDayzz Also, Saudi is slowly changing, I was at chop-chop sq 2 weeks ago, and I saw over 10 western women with their hair uncovered, that is right in front of the Mutawa headquarters, I'm sure that 5 years ago no one would have even dared. Saudi will change, like most places in the world changed. It wasn't that long ago that in most catholic churches women would be separated from men, and still many christian woman cover their hair in church and in the US some outside the church...
@migas27 Brother I too live in europe in souther spain, and friend im not racist but americans are some of the most 1)ignorant 2)patriotic 3)arrogant people alive brother they call us barbarians and we just use common since in spain I have not had one incident of racism were as in america Please its like wild fire
@migas27 Excellent insight into the mentality of "American exceptionalism" and ethnocentric arrogance. True multi-culturalism--of which Americans supposedly espouse--is when you accept and deal with a given culture on its own terms, and not how we believe it should be. One question is relevant: can America(ns) claim moral superiority or is it in a moral position to pass judgment on any other culture or peoples?
@salahudeenabduladl There is no moral superiority for the US, they continue to violate human rights, they still have death penalty, and guess who is more often convicted to it? Ethnic minorities. America is todays greatest colonial power, and its imperialistic attitude towards all others is well documented. Now, I don't want to sound like I hate americans, I think I get along pretty well with them, they tend to be nice people, unfortunately, most are extremely naif and misinformed.
@salahudeenabduladl (Cont.) Most americans I have met are good people and you can enjoy their company, you should just try to avoid religion and political conversations. Also, I don't want to sound like I agree with the way things are in Saudi, I believe in individual freedom and individual choice, and no mater what we argue, we all know those are not present in due quantities in the Saudi society. I am also against death penalty in all cases.
@salahudeenabduladl (cont.) But I know, it is not by force that you produce positive and lasting change. Saudi will change, and it is the Saudis that must push for that change, not the westerners. People tend to defend themselves from attacks and if the west puts too much pressure for change, people will resist it more. The change will come from the top, from those Saudis who have traveled and seen the world. In Europe and the US, 60 years ago, no woman would dare wearing a bikini. Things change
Well, women are not allowed out by themselves, but in the video we can see 3 women walking in the square and a woman pushing her baby with no male company. Not to sure what the rules are in Saudi regarding speaking to women, so I rather stay on the safe side and just avoid getting to close. I still remember the first time a woman spoke to me in Saudi, I felt really nervous... Anyway, I'd still rather have my kids grow in Saudi than in most places in the US. I think it is safer here.
@migas27 Well it, depends on what you call safe. I'd rather live free with a certain level of crime than live under an oppressive Islamic government who chops the heads off of people like it is a spectator sport or kill women and call it "Honor Killing." It is truly in how you view things and your values. I respect your view but I'd still rather live in freedom or as close to it as I can get.

I had our house "friend" escort me but the men liked to grab at me anyways. The women I met, just not into the same things I am, they were so worried about really meaningless things, and not at all concerned about important issues.

@m3ro100 I looked at the link you sent me, I must respectfully disagree with his teaching. He said as a third option you can beat her as a last resort. In my culture and faith, there is no beating allowed at all. I am a man and I am stronger than a woman and I don't have any right to beat her under any circumstances. I'd rather sleep on the roof of my house in the cold than to hit my wife, whether lightly and hard. I respect your beliefs but I just don't want women abuse or mistreated.

@m3ro100 Yes, I understand his point of view but what I'm against is the whole idea of ruling over your house by resorting to getting physical with your wife. I respectfully but firmly think it is wrong...period. If she doesn't obey, will the husband make the beating more harsh. As a man, and stronger than my wife, I always have the option of walking away before things get out of hand. I'm not trying to judge, I just see my wife as my equal, she has the right to her own opinions.
cjfl1962 6 months ago
@cjfl1962
Well , these teaching options r not must to do, and No he can't make it harsh he should stop and if he wouldn't do it from the beginning will be better as it's not the first solution. And the man in the video was describing the light beat . However , I think the way man rule his house is up to his personality and the way he was raised . I mean if islam courage harsh beating like i always hear ,there's alot of non ,muslim men beat their wifes .. so it's just up to the man not religion
m3ro100 6 months ago
@m3ro100 I agree, women are mistreated in other societies. When I speak of the rights of women and denounce oppression of them, I am referring to where ever it takes place. In the USA, where I live, I don't like to see women objectified as sex symbols for men to lust after. U see women in bikinis advertising cars or other products, this is wrong but at the same time, I also hate that young girls can't go to school in Afghanistan because the Taliban says it is against Islam would kill them.

Yeah i hate that too, but like u said women mistreated in societies ,the same thing happens in Afghanistan ,not islam who's against education it's Taliban .same thing in Saudi my country that prevents women drive , not because islam against it but saudi societie is against it .and here u see mixing of religion with the culture of the society which cause confusing ,that's why when i want to know the truth about religion i look at the source it's book weather Bible , Quran, Toura ...etc
m3ro100 6 months ago
@m3ro100 Speaking of sources of religion, it amazes me how the Torah, Bible and the Koran have much in common. All three share stories like that of Job. It is also unfortunate the amount of hate and conflict all three have imposed on each other. Maybe this will change one day. Also, I'd like to know, in general, what do Saudi Arabians think of Americans? Do they think we hate Muslims and Islam? DO they think we all think the same and hold the same values? I'm curious to hear your perspective.
cjfl1962 6 months ago
@m3ro100 Regarding restrictions that society places on women, I think the source of it is that men run things in most societies and they see equality for women as a treat to them and their status. America had the same struggles and it is still not equal in some ways. As an example, women out number men in college graduations but only represent 2-3 percent of the top executives running corporations. It is getting better but there is still much more progress needed. America is a work in progress.

@m3ro100 After the 1965 Civil Rights movement, a shift happen in American. As a result of this movement, immigration laws were modified allowing people to immigrate from more than just Western Europe. As a result, American has become a multiracial, multicultural, multi-religious society. I agree, most Americans believe in freedom of religion and tolerance. However, there are some who dislike Islam because of terrorism around the world. They forget that the terrorists kill Muslims too.

Compounds are safe haven where people can dress in thier own clothes, have friends over and just chill. Im saudi and Im telling you there is practically nothing about saudi culture worth understanding to the extent that you would want to live outside a compound. People come to Saudi not cause they want, cause quite frankly no one wants to live in the middle of the desert. They do it for money, for thier jobs, I just wanted to say back off and think twice

@spacepainter777 that was a really dumb comment,are you implying that the Saudis dont hang,behead or kill people?????Do the Saudis even give you a lawyer if you were to steal a loaf of bread.....in the US even if you kill someone you get a lawyer.Stop being a hypocrite and acknowledge the fact that compared to the US,Saudis still live in the middle ages.If not for your oil,you would be worse than Yemen.

Saudi's law system .. hmm. defines INJUSTICE. Someone i know closely is sentenced to a beheading because he *threatened* to use his gun. he's not even allowed to have a lawyer.

@FARIS122959 Dear Faris, how is it that women in SA can walk in streets, malls and hospitals alone and stil need the assistance you're so happy to give them?
Come on, ho do you think you're kidding? The discrimination of women in SA and other islamic countries is an undisputable fact and the Western world becomes more and more aware of the ugly face of islam.

@migas27 You are an idiot for taking your freedoms for granted and glorifying the barbaric Saudi culture and law. No Saudi Arabia is definitely not a better place than the US for raising a child. That is why most Saudi children are ignorant of virtually everything apart from religion and are unable to work, and are more prone to violence. What a barbaric society, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
OhMaDayzz 9 months ago
@OhMaDayzz Where do you see me glorifying the Saudi law??? Most Saudi children might be ignorant of a lot of things, but so are the majority of American children an adults, in fact, for you to make such a pretty well informed remark, I would say that if you're american you're either from NY or California, as most of your fellow countrymen live in the dark ages believing in anything including creationist theories that make anyone with 2 braincells to laugh.
migas27 9 months ago
@OhMaDayzz And ashamed of myself? I think you are forgetting who is the US greatest ally in this region, side by side with Israel... I live in Riyadh, I see what's around me, I see the slaves from Pakistan and Bangladesh arriving at the airport and being treated like cattle, I wonder how much pressure your country, and mine too make for a better respect of basic human rights. Still, it is not by force that things will change, mentalities will change and Saudi values will also change
migas27 9 months ago
@OhMaDayzz Of course that maybe you believe that invading a country and forcing "democracy and human rights" on them is the right way, but then you would sound like one of those americans who still believes that the invasion of Iraq was for humanitary reasons... And we are still seeing how well that is working in Iraq...
Religious extremists are the same everywhere, and america is also full of them.
migas27 9 months ago
@migas27 When did I mention forcing anything on anyone? You are confusing facts though, the majority of Iraqis and Afghans support the US presence in their country. You can look at any opinion poll to find this out. Not that I give a damn about Muslims though, they can live like cavemen if they want to it's not my problem. Religious extremists are not the same everywhere. Countries like Saudi where most support stoning people to death for adultery is different to USA. We are civilized.
OhMaDayzz 9 months ago
@OhMaDayzz So, you believe all the opinion polls? I'm not saying that Iraqis liked Sadam, but I wouldn't be too sure if the majority of the population would really say they like it better now... Still, the invasion of Iraq was all about power and money, at the time, everyone knew, for example, that Pakistan was full of terrorist training camps and that they have WMDs, why go into Iraq then? If Sadam had WMDs, I'm sure your MoD would find the receipts somewhere.
migas27 9 months ago
@OhMaDayzz And you are civilized? Maybe you as an individual are, but do you really believe that most of the bible bangers that thrive in most of your country are? There are parts of your country where teaching evolution can get you fired. Human rights in the US? Just a few issues: Pvt Manning, Guantanamo, death penalty, Abu Graib, the continuous undermining of all UN resolutions that could help resolve the Palestinian issue...
migas27 9 months ago
@OhMaDayzz Regarding stoning people to death, I am against the death penalty no mater what. In your country death penalty is still common practice, and racially biased... So, what I think would be a very good step, would be for Americans to clean up their house, set a good example and then, but only then, should they start pointing fingers.
migas27 9 months ago
@migas27 We have death penalty for things like murder only, and no they are not racially biased. Most of the time we do not use the death penalty anyway. You are a hypocrite because you pretend to be for human rights, yet you try to defend Saudi Arabia. Pathetic really..
OhMaDayzz 9 months ago
@OhMaDayzz Where did you see me defending Saudi Arabia??? Are you delirious? Or can't you read? The only thing that might sound like I am defending Saudi is when I say I'd find it safer for my kids to grow in Saudi than in most of the US. Other than that, all I did was to make a remark about an awful attempt of journalism.
migas27 9 months ago
@OhMaDayzz Also, Saudi is slowly changing, I was at chop-chop sq 2 weeks ago, and I saw over 10 western women with their hair uncovered, that is right in front of the Mutawa headquarters, I'm sure that 5 years ago no one would have even dared. Saudi will change, like most places in the world changed. It wasn't that long ago that in most catholic churches women would be separated from men, and still many christian woman cover their hair in church and in the US some outside the church...
migas27 9 months ago
@OhMaDayzz if you ask me if I think things should change, of course I do, but change needs to come from within the Saudis, not imposed by us.

MrAZOOZ1993 6 months ago
@migas27 Excellent insight into the mentality of "American exceptionalism" and ethnocentric arrogance. True multi-culturalism--of which Americans supposedly espouse--is when you accept and deal with a given culture on its own terms, and not how we believe it should be. One question is relevant: can America(ns) claim moral superiority or is it in a moral position to pass judgment on any other culture or peoples?
salahudeenabduladl 6 months ago
@salahudeenabduladl There is no moral superiority for the US, they continue to violate human rights, they still have death penalty, and guess who is more often convicted to it? Ethnic minorities. America is todays greatest colonial power, and its imperialistic attitude towards all others is well documented. Now, I don't want to sound like I hate americans, I think I get along pretty well with them, they tend to be nice people, unfortunately, most are extremely naif and misinformed.
migas27 6 months ago
@salahudeenabduladl (Cont.) Most americans I have met are good people and you can enjoy their company, you should just try to avoid religion and political conversations. Also, I don't want to sound like I agree with the way things are in Saudi, I believe in individual freedom and individual choice, and no mater what we argue, we all know those are not present in due quantities in the Saudi society. I am also against death penalty in all cases.
migas27 6 months ago
@salahudeenabduladl (cont.) But I know, it is not by force that you produce positive and lasting change. Saudi will change, and it is the Saudis that must push for that change, not the westerners. People tend to defend themselves from attacks and if the west puts too much pressure for change, people will resist it more. The change will come from the top, from those Saudis who have traveled and seen the world. In Europe and the US, 60 years ago, no woman would dare wearing a bikini. Things change
migas27 6 months ago
Well, women are not allowed out by themselves, but in the video we can see 3 women walking in the square and a woman pushing her baby with no male company. Not to sure what the rules are in Saudi regarding speaking to women, so I rather stay on the safe side and just avoid getting to close. I still remember the first time a woman spoke to me in Saudi, I felt really nervous... Anyway, I'd still rather have my kids grow in Saudi than in most places in the US. I think it is safer here.

(Well, women are not allowed out by themselves,)
allow me to correct ur knowledge my friend
(Well, women are not allowed out by themselves)
wrong, women are allowed to go out when ever they want if necessarily ( as matter of fact my mother is a practicing muslim and she always do that)
what prophet mohammad pbuh said is that its prohibited for a women to go on journey with out a company
and there is alot of difference between go out and go on journey that could take days
