If Afghanistan was Al Qaeda's training ground then Saudi Arabia, whose rulers are caught in a battle between Western modernity and traditional religion, is its spiritual home. Events in Palestine and Iraq have intensified this battle by generating support among ordinary Saudis for Osama Bin Laden's ideas, driving them further away from Western ideals.

most libyans dont even have beards, long beards are wrong if not kept clean and groomed......hello a long beard down to the chest or further is not easy to clean it and people dont clean it, i dont think islamically thats whats meant for a beard
although his father may want his sons to be president, i dont think that will be the case they may run in elections against their opponent but i am sure its gonna be democratic in the future and without foreign interference in libyan personal matters
There is a lack of good people in the government and the votes of the bad people overcomes the good, this needs to change inorder for Libya to change look into the future cuz the past is a mess to solve it you have to go through more problems and we do not need that. As for his sons works I love the good work their doing and its improving however its gonna take time give libya another 5 years and see it, I believe it will change
Oh that there might be nature hikes and certainly not the mass tourism of Tunisia and Egypt. In other words sustainable tourism that would be ecologically sound.
