Hey everyone,
Since I have lived in Jeddah, I thought I would share some Saudi news with you. I might seem biased, but these articles make me wonder if Saudi society will ever change or stay the same way it was when I was growing up! I try to find positive news in the media, but no help!
Saudi winner of Star Academy detained by Religious Police for handshaking and taking congrtulatory kisses from his fans in Riyadh.
In other news:
A liberal contestant in the municpal elections in Jeddah, feels he has to keep a beard to win the elections. "This is neither democracy nor equal opportunity," Qamlu said. "Who has given them such power to determine whom should the electorate choose. For the next election, I must grow a beard in order to get elected."
Ciao,
Mansur

mansur, you are too much! :)
All I can say is I had a good laugh when I read the article about the Saudi winner of Star Academy. Ridiculous as usual!
No offense to anyone but I just don't understand what the hell goes on in this country...and why petty issues are made such a big deal of, whereas there are major problems that are simply overlooked and not dealt with.
