A question too long to fit.

How do you view this lady, I don't know her name, but she's the one trying to "save" her children from Saudi Arabia. She has been trying for decades. She's gone to Saudi princes, embassies, the American congress, and the Saudi Government. She is strongly against the Saudi government, yet claims that all Saudi Arabians are brainwashed and hate America. She cannot take her daughters out of Saudi Arabia and into America where they will have "freedom" from the so called "Totalitarian regime" that is Saudi Arabia. She claims that her daughters are being misstreated, repressed, and that in Saudi Arabia women have no rights whatsoever. I don't really know anything about the currently ebstated government in Saudi Arabia and I apologize if I missinterpreted what I heard the woman say regarding the nation. I do not support it or oppose Saudi Arabia, I simply want some opinions because all I heard on the subject was what came from this single woman.

Do you guys support this lady in her fight or believe that she is overreacting and the father is treating them fairly?

[Corvus Corax]

Sounds a little bit like American propaganda.

I think anything BAD that is said about "Saudi" Arabia deserves the presumption of truth...it is a first-class SHITHOLE!

The Saudi "royal family" (there are at least 5,000 of them) are as corrupt and brutal as any regime in history this side of the 3rd Reich. They rule in a coalition with a fundamentalist Muslim sect that MOST Muslims regard with disgust and abhorrence. No only do women and children have NO rights, NOBODY there has any fucking rights except members of the "royal" family and fundamentalist clergymen.

They came to power on the backs of British imperialism and remain in power through U.S. military support--the Saud family is so reactionary, they make Saddam Hussein look like Karl Marx!

People who live in that part of the world, by the way, refer to it as the Arabian Peninsula...they do not recognize the "right" of the Saud Family to name the country after themselves.

This is what happens, by the way, in a part of the world where they take religion really seriously. :shocked:

[Wash Me]

[CompadreGuerrillera]

hard to tell, i need more 411 to make a judgement, it does sound like AMerikan propaganda, but i also think Saudi Arabia is ghey, cause they have royalty in charge, that bothers me,

Oh yeah, the saudi royal family is that sick. If the west was really concerned with human rights and democracy, they would have dropped bombs on that ruling elite 90 years ago.
As far as I know, they are holding supreme court precedings right now about this case, I watched a little of it on C-span, they talked about how the Saudis frequently decieve other countries' governments in order to make themselves look good.
Did you here about the all girls' school that caught on fire in Saudi Arabia? The little girls tried to escape without their head-coverings but were stopped at the emergency exit by the religious police. They refused to let the little girls, who were all about 6 years old, from exiting the building without the proper dress code. About 20 of those girls burned to death. When members of the ruling elite first heard the story, they smiled and shrugged it off like it was nothing.
There actions are a result of ancient arab tradition that pre-dated Islam, traditions that Mohammad tried to destroy when he started Islam. Unfortunately those traditions of hate and elitism still exist there. By the way, slavery was a legal, encouraged practice up into the 1970's.

The only public opposition to the Saud family I know of has a website at :

You can find a good amount of dirt on the Saudi family there.
