    You really shouldn't be posting in a thread about the Saudis when you obviously know nothing about them. Educate yourself. They bomb civilians in Yemen for trying to end their authoritarian regime. They have a religion police. They don't allow women to drive. People don't have any democratic freedoms. So ignorant.

    I lived in Arabia for two decades and have met Salman, Abdullah, Nayef, young deputy crown prince and all the senior princesses.

    KSA has never ruled Yemen.. There are very few religious police .. none at all in the Eastern province, Jubail or Yanbu.. nor down in Asir. The Saudis consider the muttaween to be pests.

    You won't learn anything about KSA from wiki.

    It is not the same. Orthodox Jews will not eat Halal. As for Trump's daughter and son-in-law, what difference does it make with these two are hypocrites anyway.

    Wake up, the fact they have a "prince" and have a "few religious police" should kind of clue you in into how backwards they are. Again, they bomb civilians in Yemen. Thats the main problem. Wake up.

    Orthodox Jews cannot eat Hallal food.

    Jews put much more care and regulations into their food, than muslims

    Arabic food is quite good.. The Saudis have an abundance of shrimp and fish.

    Its an authoritarian regime that doesn't allow basic freedoms, women's rights, and murders dissenting civilians.

    Actually there is LESS government interference than we have in the US. Women have plenty of rights. They just don't drive except in the desert in compounds and university campuses.

    they can't live alone.

    they can't dress how they like.

    they can't vote.

    if they are raped or assaulted, they are accused of being sluts

    Saudi Arabia hates women

    Saudis have tons of modern technology.

    and yet they treat women, Gays, idolators, blasphemers, as if this was the 15th century.

    why does the world tolerate this? oil. thats the only reason

    Yeah, they have many beautiful bowling allies in Arabia and some within the compounds. I wouldn't expect to bowl on a state visit.

    Under Saudi law all females must have a male guardian and are not allowed to travel without permission from their guardian. They also need permission for marriage and divorce, education, and opening a bank account, and some surgeries.
