Excerpts from article ‘Value of Jeddah Economic Forum to the Saudi Image’ by Michael Saba.
“For hundreds of Western visitors to the Jeddah Economic Forum, it is their first view of Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. And Western popular culture perspectives on Saudi Arabia and the region can really use some image enhancement. The commonly held view of Saudi Arabia in the West is neither realistic nor positive.”
“I had no idea the Saudis were so friendly and hospitable” is a common statement heard from the attendees. “The Western press doesn’t do this place justice” is another phrase often heard.
“The media has set pace for Saudi bashing, Arab bashing and Muslim bashing in the United States, and they are often joined by Hollywood, television and even the Christian Zionists”

“3 Frenchmen were gunned downed in Saudi Arabia. A troupe of ~ 20 foreigners including Belgians & French were visiting ruins near the holy city of Madinah where non-Muslims are not permitted. A car drove up and gunmen opened fire at the group sparing the women and children.”

“A song from Poison goes ‘Every rose has its thorn’, but does it strike you that every thorn has its rose. Live and (please)Let Live. Allah Yesalmakum.”
