By the way Aafke….you need to do a post with a picture about the niqab you received from Mama Moudy!!!!

Not all Muslims are like that. I’m not. Neither is any of my family.
And, neither are all Arabs…(my husband and family).

And, this can be said about SOME non-Muslims in the states and everywhere else in the whole world…the whole being rude and stuff. There’s rude people in every race and religion. I think maybe in Saudi its not thought of as rude to cut.

This blog just happens to be about Saudis, so we were talking about them and stuff.

Wow, American bedu, your mil is cool.

For example, I think a lot of Saudis have this inherent manner where a simple look or raising of a brow can speak volumes in spite of (if female) where only the eyes are visible. The look seems to be interpreted most commonly as arrogance. I’ve seen it myself when I have observed niqabi women cutting in lines and when someone behind them makes a response, all they do in return is give the LOOK.

One experience I had was quite comical. I was in line and next to be served. Two Saudi females cut in front of me. I said “excuse me” but they ignored me. Then my Saudi mother-in-law who was with me in the store came up and said something softly to them. Next thing I know I’m back first in line and they are behind me! Now the question is, did they feel it was okay to cut in front of me because I was not a Saudi and then when my MIL spoke to them, they did not wish to offend her?

I am not gonna to stoop low to your level.
