Yes, we're different, yet the best
Published in Alriyadh on 03 - 04 - 2011

It become more certain to me that we, in the Kingdom, are a distinctive community that is characterized by stability and by virtue of the assurances of its heading forward with its achievements on the scientific and civilizational levels.
I am not saying that we are the elite who posses exclusive traits, neither do I deny that we have some cases of inability or that we are not in need for following up the reforming process.
We have disadvantages; some inefficient aspects of performance. However, what is undoubted is that our distinctiveness is not confined to the fact that we have the potentials that others lack, but we also have the plans to head forward with such potentials to place ourselves in outstanding financial and scientific positions. Thereby, we should not consider ourselves as a Middle East model where Iran would attempt to bridge the gap of its ideological solitude by means of making use of instigation; neither should we accept it as natural to have demonstrations in Arab countries where methods of objections or seeking opinions are replaced by riots and disorder and having casualties as something normal. No, we did not do that except when we were a desert community fighting each other in a fiercest manner.
It is an imminent part of our loyalty to King Abdel-Aziz to express our appreciation and gratitude, and the eternity of his fame that he achieved the miracle of creating a unified community, then founded grounds for the scientific and economical resources, not to mention his creativity that embraced some Arab qualified people whose countries lost the chance to benefit from the efficiencies of their thoughts.
King Faisal was blockaded by foes from all directions. There were offensive acts that turned into a reality of violence and hostility. However, King Faisal chased everybody who was tempted by the revolutions of slogans and rhetoric dreamy expressions. Nevertheless, no single man has been reported to have been executed. And I do not think that any citizen would demand true evidence on the uniqueness of King Abdullah being the greatest contemporary leading character worldwide, and in terms of the love he gave to his people, and the gratitude and true feelings of people towards him.
I am surprised that an international TV show, with my respect to the impartiality of the interviewer, introduces a document saying that there is one person (only one) who says he wants to object. Only one amongst more than other 18 million people and that there is one lady who has been alone because of having her husband detained.
I am just wondering about the number of prisoners and casualties, and the cases of open chaos in many Arab countries
Why do not we condemn the questioning of having security men on the streets? Why do not we just do that? Is not the citizen's security achieved by such security means as those men?
