Bedouin Darkness Spreads With Oil Money

Submitted by Khalid AlSaeed, Nov 30, 2007 05:14

Dear Editor,

It's absolutely shocking and alarming for the Western culture to be exposed to the kind of hatred Mr. Youssef is writing and inciting. The destructive and dehumanizing text of Mr. Youssef is being demonstrated clearly when repeating the word "Bedouin", an indication of Western superiority feeling towards non-Western cultures.

Saudi Arabia, like any other developing country, doesn't claim perfection, and admits its shortcomings. However, in a comprehensive campaign launched by the Saudi King and Crown Prince, a major political, legal, and social restructuring is being announced months ago and now at full capacity underway.

In an extreme turbulent region, full of non-stop political and security turmoil, the Saudi government has just announced the crack down of major destructive terrorist cells that are targeting major Saudi figures and oil facilities.

Yet again, the least Saudi Arabia is in need at this critical point are some ignorant and expedient writers like Mr. Youssef, whom are adopting an unconstructive criticism as a career and supported by major newspapers like the New York Sun for publicity purposes.
