If you are a saudi supporter, plz. tell your house of saud buddies to give more rights to minorities in Saudi Arabia. Not allowing other faiths to practise is a medival practise. Killing by public beheading, not allowing women to drive etc. are unthinkable in most countries.

so what about the largest country in the world like china, internet, newspapers and even u r opinions censore...if u r so concerned go to burma and help sui kyi throw out the junta or better pakistan looks like it could use a president. see buddy every country has their set of rules...where else in the world do u get tax free living and paid health services. where would half the indian population go if the saudis ban our workforce. even with all these restriction people go there and again back to their and other arab countrie to make a living. so hwne poeple r in ur house u expect them to behave according to u r rules...same goes for a country.

If minorites cannot accept the law of land, they should not go there. the very fact that you take employment there and knowingly forgo the religios freedom that you have back home, confims how important is religious freedom to you.
This is the law of land, just like in several countries littering can invite severe fine and jail time.

in today's world,laws cant be biased against any religion. also,public beheadings,no women freedom, no freedom of speech,dress codes etc. are global problems and not LAWS OF LANNDS.they induce extremists thinking. these have to be eradicated for HUMAN WELL BEING AND TOLERANCE.

who says Waleed is one of the 'smartest'investor in the world?...this baffoon is nicely tricked by the American media and nicely diverted all his country's petrol money into American investments-If he is a key investor in Fox news-he would h've some influence in that,-experience show FOX news is the main Muslim/Arab bashing TV in USA-simlilarly he hold a fair amount of share in Dysney land,many Dysney productions also portry Arabs negatively-He is typican Oil rich playboy who dance according to the Impericalist American lobby-IT IS TO BE NOTED SAUDI ARABIA is the only oil rich country where poor-rich gap is visible in the society..HE IS A BAFFOON WHO PUT ALL THE MONEY WHERE HIS AMERICAN MASTERS DIRECT HIM...

bro if he is such a bufoon(not baffoon)... name other other kings or pinces for mthe whole of the midle east richer than him. even the hariri brother , or al raji is not even in the top 20. so then my freind u r theory is rubbish...he made it better than all of his other arab counter parts...maybe now the whole scene in america is changing..like the whol sub prime issue and all...but alas he made it ...and made it good!!!

All the petrol will evaporate in another 20 years or so. He can Keep his A380 for posterity's sake. Can feel, we could have kept the money by then...
There is a misconception that the prince is rolling in petro dollars. Actually he is an astute investor. He is us educated and publicly pro-american. How he started out to make his billions is an interesting read. He won a major defence contract after complaining to King Fahd that minor royals could not compete with the more powerful ones. He consequently got the contract and invested the entire proceeds in Citigroup at $9 a share. More details here iranian.com/Features/2001/October/Wealth/index.html Also interesting is how he was involved in the recent sacking of citigroup ceo Chuck Prince.

true i agree here...but i hitnk he should have exited citibank long time before the whole sub prime fiasco..!!
RE:Prince Waleed - astute investor
by aus ant on Nov 13, 2007 09:36 PM
Possibily. Only time will tell. His recent loss in Citigroup - a whopping 4 billion. But he may be thinking long term. dont forget he virtually owns citigroup.
By saying waleed doesnt know how to do business, they are showing they are betraying their knowledge of the world. Waleed is the biggest share holder of citi group and owns multiple hotel chains across different countries. He also has stake in Ropert Murdoch news organization like fox news.

he also funds charitys in lebanon where his mom is from and to which he a great affinit. not ot mentin the infamous check of 80 million $ he gave to guiliani for the reconstruciotn of wtc. he does a lot of charity i gues since he did have amilitary background he understands the human empathy more..! after all its all about narrowing the divide between the rich and poor. even giving away money sometimes is also a crime!
