Posted on February 16, 2012 by American Bedu

  I debated long and hard whether to write about Saudi blogger and tweeter, Hamza Kashgari.  I had hoped that his case would have been dismissed by this point. By way of background, Hamza Kashgari created an outcry both within and outside of Saudi Arabia for the tweets he made in reference to the Prophet [...]

Posted on February 1, 2012 by American Bedu

I [...]

Posted on January 8, 2012 by American Bedu

Within the last week an American Bedu reader expressed an interest to hear about a Saudi hero.  There is no doubt in my mind that HRH Princess Basma meets the criteria of a hero and champion for Saudi people. Many Royals and influential individuals may not agree with the Saudi system but few will actually [...]

Saudi Arabia: Where is Allah?

Posted on December 9, 2011 by American Bedu

It seems that many who do believe in God (Allah) are not without questions.  The questions can be freely asked in most parts of the world but to question belief in God or the different fates which befall among people is not condoned publicly in Saudi Arabia.  Saudi Muslims are expected to accept and respect [...]
