Print Saudi Arabia: Saturday, October 04 - 2003 at 13:50 Advertising in Saudi Arabia Jeddah and Riyadh are competing for the title of the Kingdom's advertising capital. A tale of two cities. This is a tale of two cities – and of two sometimes competing visions of the future. To understand how and why Saudi Arabia's advertising industry has changed over the past six or seven years, you have to look to the kingdom's two biggest cities: Jeddah, the bustling commercial capital, and Riyadh, the traditionally more conservative seat of government. The point of entry for most outsiders is Jeddah – a cosmopolitan city, and a gateway to Mecca. On my first visit I sat on the plane next to a tall, bearded, Bangladeshi pilgrim, while all around us were Filipino engineers on their way back to work. In the taxi to the hotel, I saw crowds of people streaming into a gracious, floodlit mosque, their shops left open and deserted as they answered the call to prayer. In the distance, a massive white fountain arched into the air like an animated monument.

Jan, 15 2002 In Russian Em Portugues Russia World ... About Pravda.RU:Top Stories:More in detail Christian-Islamic culture clash Two cases in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia involving the death penalty for adultery and homosexual practices underline the cultural clash between those countries which adopt the Sharia (Islamic Law) and those which do not. In Nigeria, the thirty-six-year old Safya Husaini is accused of adultery and faces death by stoning. In this case, she will be buried up to her neck and huge stones will be hurled at her head by a baying crowd, whipped into a fury, until her skull is smashed and her brains spill out. The unforgivable crime of adultery was judged by an Islamic court in Sokoto, one of the Islamic States of Nigeria, in October 2001 and the sentence was applied. The application was delayed until she gave birth to her baby daughter but now that she has been born, the stoning may take place at any moment, depriving Safya of her life and her baby of the right to grow up in the care of her mother. The case is even more shocking because the accusation of adultery , it transpires, is no more than a case of rape, when a friend of Safya’s father decided to have his way with her, and she became pregnant. Various eye-witnesses confirmed this fact.

home search help worldguide ... Postcards Saudi Arabia History Parts of what is now eastern Saudi Arabia were first settled in the fourth or fifth millenium BC by migrants from what is now southern Iraq. The Nabateans had the biggest of the early empires, stretching as far as Damascus around the first century BC. In the early 18th century the Al-Saud, the ruling family of modern Saudi Arabia, were the ruling shaikhs of the oasis village of Dir'aiyah, near modern Riyadh. When they formed an alliance, in the mid-18th century, with Mohammed bin Abdul Wahhab, the result was Wahhabism, the back-to-basics religious movement which is still Saudi Arabia's official form of Islam. By 1806, the converting armies of Wahhabism had conquered most of modern Saudi Arabia as well as a large part of southern Iraq. None of this went down well in Constantinople, as western Arabia was, at least in theory, part of the Ottoman Empire. In 1812 the empire retook western Arabia, and by the end of the 19th century the Al-Saud had retreated to Kuwait, where they were given sanctuary. Enter stage left one of the great Al-Saud leaders, known as Ibn Saud, who brewed up an irresistible combination of piety, strategy and diplomacy and retook Riyadh and then, in 1925, Jeddah.

The largest single portion of his time in the Middle East has been in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but he is familiar with most countries in Arabia, as well as the northern Arab World and the Islamic World in general. Whilst his main work in policy and diplomacy has gained him access to Royal Courts, his voluntary work chairing conferences and lectures for the Muslim World League has made him a public figure in Arabia, where his private life has generated expertise in the fields of Arabian bureaucracy, law, banking, and general commerce. He now operates from London as an independent consultant, advising British, Commonwealth and European companies how best to prosper in the Middle East. The service comprises advice on everything from translating business cards to arranging Royal Audiences. It can be accessed at the website www.middleeastadvice.com.

The Saudi Paradox Michael Scott Doran From Foreign Affairs January/February 2004 Summary: Saudi Arabia is in the throes of a crisis, but its elite is bitterly divided on how to escape it. Crown Prince Abdullah leads a camp of liberal reformers seeking rapprochement with the West, while Prince Nayef, the interior minister, sides with an anti-American Wahhabi religious establishment that has much in common with al Qaeda. Abdullah cuts a higher profile abroad but at home Nayef casts a longer and darker shadow.

You are here allRefer Reference Saudi Arabia History ... Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia Cultural Homogeneity and Values The population was characterized by a high degree of cultural homogeneity. This homogeneity was reflected in a common Arabic language and in adherence to Sunni (see Glossary) Wahhabi Islam, which has been fostered within the political culture promoted by the Saudi monarchy (see Wahhabi Theology , this ch.). Above all, the cultural homogeneity of the kingdom rested in the diffusion of values and attitudes exemplified in the family and in Arabian tribal society, in particular the values and attitudes regarding relations within the family and relations of the family with the rest of society. The family was the most important social institution in Saudi Arabia. For Saudis generally, the family was the primary basis of identity and status for the individual and the immediate focus of individual loyalty, just as it was among those who recognized a tribal affiliation. Families formed alignments with other families sharing common interests and life-styles, and individuals tended to socialize within the circle of these family alliances. Usually, a family business was open to participation by sons, uncles, and male cousins, and functioned as the social welfare safety net for all members of the extended family. The structure of the family in Saudi Arabia was generally compatible with the structure of tribal lineage. Families were patrilineal, the boundaries of family membership being drawn around lines of descent through males. Relations with maternal relatives were important, but family identity was tied to the father, and children were considered to belong to him and not to the mother. At its narrowest, a family might therefore be defined as comprising a man, his children, and his children's children through patrilineal descent.

Saudi Arabia DOWNLOAD CONTENTS SUMMARY RECOMMENDATIONS ... Morocco Saudi Arabia Syria Tunisia United Arab Emirates In January 1999, Saudi Arabia began allowing its public to access the Internet through local service providers. It did so while promising to implement what would be the region's most ambitious plan to block the flow of "undesirable" data online. Saudi Arabia has had an Internet connection since 1994, but restricted its use to state academic, medical, and research institutions. Saudi citizens and residents were free, however, to purchase computers and modems, could connect to the Internet through dial-up service to foreign ISPs, and launch web sites on foreign servers. But international calls to ISPs were expensive: to Bahrain the charge was U.S. $0.60-0.80 per minute, and to the U.S. and Europe $1.70-$2.10 per minute. Still, according to one estimate, some 30,000 Saudis were accessing the Internet in this fashion. Although state institutions were first connected to the Internet in 1994 and King Fahd had approved public Internet access in 1997, it was not until January 1999 that local ISPs began connecting ordinary citizens. This delay was due in large part to the self-proclaimed determination of authorities to establish a system for controlling the flow of information online. Officials of the Saudi government and the King Abdul-Aziz City for Science and Technology (KACST)the Riyadh-based state institution charged with coordinating Internet policydeclined to respond to repeated written, phone, and e-mail invitations from Human Rights Watch to provide information. However, they made their intention to exercise control over Internet content clear in numerous press interviews. Saleh Abdulrahman Al-'Adhel, president of the KACST, said in February 1998:
