Conversation is not enough
Published in Alriyadh on 07 - 06 - 2011

Many media professionals in Arab World attend Dubai Shopping Festival this year. The attendance in this event, which is a success by its own, is as important as the elegance of attendants and their conversations which were about disturbs and worries of our Arab World nowadays. Actually, the media atmosphere was motivating the exchange of views regarding the reasons of these events.
In this festival I met some of Egyptians who are invested with high positions in prominent newspapers. We talk many times about many meaningful matters and agree upon that KSA is the most similar country to Egypt as for the numerous positive sides and that there is economical, touristic and social interests that connect us together: everybody assures that in a highly regarded manner. I said that there are many persons who thought that KSA supports Salfis and Isolationists which reflect the violent enmity against the modern Islamic era. I explained that KSA is the firmest country against Isolationists to prevent them from interfering in the society affairs, and that Al Qaeda concepts are not different from some Salfis who think that Jihad (fighting others) is a religious responsibility that ends with the death and paradise for him and hell for others.
As a fact many persons assure that they comprehend this truth and that some wrong concepts are expressed by wrong ideas including their financial support (billions).
Is that enough! Even if the media professionals traveled from our country to neighbor countries to assure the Saudi diplomatic honesty. The Arab cooperation with Saudi side express the credibility of Arabic and international efforts.
Actually, we have some society not country indications. When the news rise and the views are declared in websites, the media conversation will not be an effective means of correction and will be considered fraud. The most annoying question will be: if there are extreme views and situations, why we cannot stop this and sentence some penalties against them.
