  • We travel across Saudi Arabia and follow the reforms from within for a year. The country wants to diversify its economy by opening its borders to tourism.
    In Jeddah, many young people hope for change, demanding greater equality between men and women, but the conservative opposition is enormous. One wrong word and they can be arrested. How far do they go in the fight for freedom?

    Visited Saudi Arabia 1 year ago and made some videos of my experience. What I noticed is that Saudi people were among the friendliest I’ve ever met in my travels. This country has a very bad reputation in the media.

      Saudi Arabia is very very infamous in East Africa. The Arabs are very racist, and still practice slavery. it is not uncommon for domestic workers from East Africa to be killed by their employers.

    Mohamed Bin Salman Al Saud is an incredibly bright intelligent and kind leader who is delicately making changes , a difficult task as he negotiates the minefield of previous long-standing beliefs and culture. Will he make mistakes on his journey of course but I firmly believe given time he will succeed in shaping and improving the lives of his people that he sees as his extended family . He has shown the courage like some of his predecessors to effect change to benefit his country . The west needs to waken up to this visionary respecting the views and progress that he is accomplishing and work with him the country of Saudi Arabia under MBS will become even more powerful on the world stage and continue to benefit from his remarkable leadership

      Funny how so many religions exist, and even funnier how within these religions exist countless conflicting & contradictory sects and denominations. It's almost as if all of them are making stuff up and set up camp about what they believe.
      Not only is it Muslim vs. Christian vs Jew vs Hindu etc..but Sunni vs Shiite, Catholic vs Protestant, Orthodox vs Haredim).
      Nobody needs another cult centre that leeches off of people who pay taxes. It's quite ironic for religious apologists to accuse others of propagating propaganda. Religions are by definition supernatural beliefs..they are the masters of deceit. Religion is the oldest, successful and most perfected form of propaganda.

    Do not praise your own faith exclusively so that you disbelieve all the rest. If you do this you will miss much good. Nay, you will miss the whole truth of the matter. God, the Omniscient and the Omnipresent, cannot be confined to any one creed, for He says in the Quran, wheresoever ye turn, there is the face of Allah. Everybody praises what he knows. His God is his own creature, and in praising it, he praises himself. Which he would not do if he were just, for his dislike is based on ignorance.

      I agree 💯. Jesus called out Jewish leaders for their hypocrisy. And they hated Him so much for that. The jews loved their man made rules but.. they did not have any qualms breaking the 10 commandments God gave them at mount Sinai. History keeps repeating itself. The true God of, the Creator of Heaven and earth has already revealed Himself to the world. And the world rejected Him. But His people will hear His voice and follow Him no matter where they are even in Saudi. ✝️💕

Allah says that there is no compulsion in religion and that the rightful has been distinguished from the wrongful. Also God never forbade women from driving, this is ridiculous.

Whenever he sees something or some practice he quickly comes up with his own conclusions and judgements. If Islam oppresses women so much why islam is the fastest growing religion in the west among women? Surely Allah will preserve Islam wether it is in the hand of the Saudis or any other people. Lastly if any religion would have been attacked the way Islam has been, from the crusades to propaganda by western media like this one, it would have died long ago. So wake up to reality
