Why is recognizing other religions so difficult for the Saudi Shoura Council?
The Headline: Saudi Shoura Council rejects call for international pact to respect all religions The Link: http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/saudi_arabia/10198648.html The Money Quote: Talal Bakri, one of the staunch critics of the move, said “if we approve the resolution it will be make it obligatory to recognise some religions and will facilitate establishing places of worship for them in Muslim countries.†The Horror: The Shoura Council made the right decision to avoid the ban, but for the wrong reason. In their worldview, they would have to "recognize" other religions before they would ban the insult to other religions. What a conundrum for them. This may lead to another form of worship and they can't have that.

If you had the power and the money to overthrow the saud family (as peacefully as possible) would you do it??
If you had the power and the money to overthrow the saud family (as peacefully as possible) would you do it??
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmat Allah I would do it fast, change it to a democracy, and try to put a good ruler in place. The Americans will be mad because oil will cost more, saudi arabia(renamed) will be a better place to live under better interpretation of the sharia law, for all muslims and non-muslims alike-except for makkah and Madinah. I'm just throwing stuff out, and I know how it feels like to live there, I lived in Jeddah for my childhood, and now in Canada, and I feel that they could make the Saudi Arabia one of the best places for people to live on this earth. I am just throwing stuff out, but what is you ideas on this??? I don't by any means want to start a war or a genocide or etc. I just want the Royal Family Overthrown. Waalikum Assalam Wa Rahmat Allah Yes, put sharia laws in place, and use the money they make from oil from different places, but I mean their interpretations of Islam is bad(in my opinion and many other Muslims). Not able to practice your religion except if you are wahabi/sunni muslim, no rights for shiites, christians, jews(forget it | and I know what they are doing in Palestine, but it ain't all them ). They don't allow palestinian refugees, no public school except it you are Arab and Muslim. THIS IS NOT ISLAMIC!!! and if you believe this is islamic give me references please

I would not turn it into a democracy, but a theocracy with a selected Khalifah. Sharia law would still be in place, and would be enforced on all people, regardless of social status. I would restructure the budget, and use it on beneficial things like aiding disaster victims around the world, and improving Makkah and Madinah. Just think of all the extra money al-Hijaz would have, not having to cash out to every member of the Royal Family..........

yes the Saud family is rotten to the core....all they want is $$$$ and men want sex from prostitutes in their spare time!!! and all the double standards they have.....while THEY are so corrupt they punish their own people like dogs for small things... I would not even blink twice before over throwing them...they only have LOVE for American and their money

I would definitely overthrow them and exile them for all their hypocritical corruption and the things they have done to the people. Mekkah and el-Medina would be like city-states with their theocracy but (renamed) Saudi Arabia would be a balance of democracy and theocracy. (And don't jump me for the dreaded d-word of democracy. It would not turn into a situation like the West where somewhere along the way morals, standard and principles got forgotten--- I'm just saying the people would have more rights and a bigger part to play in politics).

Yeah.....i'd kick them out. Honestly though, violence would have to be a part of it. Would need an uprising or something..... I'm happy with democracies, but i think one change should be made. Atleast how it works in america with congress and senate......i think the people shouldn't have the right to vote for president. Let the people vote for their congressman and senators....then amongst themselves they chose a president. Let the people that actually know how a government works vote for the leader. I remember when my dad performed hajj, after it was done, but he was still in saudi arabia, he was complaining about the conditions...and as a result the saudi government. Said the average person there couldn't afford the water and people were sleeping in urine.....the guy he was talking to stood up, said watch what you say, they'll throw you in a dark room and no one will ever see you again, then walked away. Thats something, need to be able to criticize your government.

What would happen if the oil in the Middle East finishes?
What would happen if the oil in the Middle East finishes?
Most Middle Eastern countries do not have taxes because the government is already making money by selling oil. When the US starts using its oil, will it become tax-free? What about terrorism? do you think the rate will go up or down? would the world go into wars with countries like Saudi Arabia? (assuming that they are not at war now because Saudi is the main exporter of oil and without it's oil.. well, no one would be getting around)

3 :
What oil wells? we have been using our own oil reserves for years so when the middle east runs out, THE WORLD runs out, to become truly energy independent we need to use all forms of alternative energy
4 :
we will all fight over the oil and almost self destruct. then the locust horde will emerge from the ground and start sinking cities and we will all join forces to defeat those suckas! dayummmm!!! thats a lot of juice!
5 :
I'm not sure what will happen to places like Saudi Arabia, but I can't wait to find out. The U.S. will become energy independent using alternative sources of power such as our own natural gas, wind, solar, biofuels, etc.

Why are we excited about the new "Giant Saudi field"?
Why are we excited about the new "Giant Saudi field"?
Is there a reason we want to send our money to Saudi Arabia instead of our own oil companies? I just don't get why Americans are so sold on sending money to the middle east for their oil when we could be sending money to our own oil companies that employ Americans and pay royalties to Americans instead of foreign Arabs. Makes no sense. Look at this "exciting article" -> http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080629/saudi_giant_oil_field.html They call Khurais, Saudi Arabia's last "undeveloped giant oil fields." It holds and estimated 27 billion barrels of oil. While our own ANWR holds an estimated 9 billion barrels of oil. That's one third as large and the liberals in congress play this down as being small and of little or no help. Someone is lying here and it looks like it is for the sole purpose to send our money to the middle east instead of investing in our own country.
