Question

ElissaDido · Accepted Answer

1) I was Born and Raised in Saudi Arabia <3 I love it, it's my hometown although I'm not Saudi. Lived there for 18 years.

2) I'm going back there in 3 weeks, yay

9) Because Saudi Arabia is a new country, it's institutions and rules are still fragile, for example , with the issue of women driving, many women and MEN want women to drive, but Saudi Arabia still has a tribal system, some big tribes agree and some disagree which makes it harder to please everyone.

10) Women are treated badly in many countries around the world, actually all the countries, Saudi women tend to be very spoiled by the men in their families, at least financially.

Condensed answer.
Hmmm, I personally wouldn't want to visit. Hot, sand, and rules. But I'm sure great people are from/live in Saudi Arabia. Oh, and I think it's one of the most beautifully named countries. Pretty terrible country for basic rights I have in America. If I can't speak my mind, I'd rather not be in that country. But I think the malls look pretty. And it's probably not stifling for the everyday person, but the person who goes against the rules, faces really harsh punishment.

Meh.

I don't know what the world thinks about Saudi because the world is full of individuals having their own thoughts. What an individual may think about Saudi mostly depends on how educated this person is, how open minded and where he/she is from.

There is a lot of prejustice towards Saudi Arabia and it's citizens thanks to mostly western medias and Saudi's close society.

If they did not have a source of wealth literally gushing up from the ground beneath their feet, they would be a 3rd world nation, and probably one of the worst off ones.
And with all that wealth, what do they get? An amazingly condensed number of people with gross amounts of money, an otherwise very poor population, and the wealthy live lifestyles of pure hedonism, able to do whatever they want, while funding a religious police that terrorize the average citizen for the smallest of infractions.

The majority of Americans loathe Saudi Arabia, as we rightly should with them funding the ideological fascism that is Wahhabism. That, however, is mostly the Saudi government. I don't know much about the people, though. I'm sure that besides the extremists, there are some very nice people.

JimRSmith · Answer

I'm conflicted about the place. Sometimes I think it gets too much of a bad press. Other times, I think it earns it.

It's not a country I expect to visit, though, so my opinions are not the best informed.

Lynx122 · Answer

From What I have heard they are a allied country to the U. S. mainly because of oil and because of that they can do things that would be considered unacceptable for any other nation. Like funding terrorism, it is believed that Saudi Arabia is the NUMBER ONE sponsor for terrorist organisations, they also have Sharia law and do public beheadings. Saudi Arabia has a very similar ideology with ISIS and the Royal family has also showed support for Al Qaida. But most people don't care or don't hear about any of this because the U. S. considers them a close ally and so everything is forgiven.

TadCurious · Answer

It's a country run by an odious regime that executes gays for being gay, amputates the hands of petty thieves, and supports terrorism. It's also the hub of the Wahhabi strain of Islam that is behind so much of jihadist ideology. Members of the Saudi government lent support to some of 9/11 attackers and soon we're going to learn more about that when the classified and redacted portions of the "missing 28 pages" of the 9/11 Congressional Inquiry are made public. It's such a backward country that women aren't even allowed to drive.

MakeShiftThug · Answer

I don't like it when people equate Saudi with Islam. It is not an Islamic state, it is not ruled by an Islamic ruler. That's not to say the people are bad, it's the government. Saudi formed as a result of British imperialism. The tribe of Saud ( British agents ) was funded by British to rebell against the Islamic Caliphate. And the Islamic empire was carved up by Western powers. They also have buisness relations with the USA and rely on them heavily. But people are too ignorant and deluded by mainstream media to know that.

I honestly, have no idea or opinions of that place. Never been there, and probably never would go there, as I don't have the money and time.

They give this charade to the world that are rich and moderate but in truth they have barbaric punishments for theft and don't treat women with any respect.
