Absolute Monarchy

Other thing unique about saudi arabia: It is the only last "Absolute Monarchy" in the world nowadays, which means that the king their and his relatives "from the house of saud" can kill or "steal" any "saudi" citizen inside the country and then claim that all their behave is legal cause they own absolutely the fate of the people which are part of their properties so the people their are merely like sheeps or slaves!! In another word the people has No major decision in their life in saudi arabia absolutely nothing!! My regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.119.194.114 (talk) 01:18, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Allah forbade Muslims from killing people, except their enemies in wars.

The majority of Saudi Arabia are Muslims.

It would be very unlikely that any Muslim (even the king) would start a genocide, if at all.

I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, but that your opinion would be very unlikely in real life. Fahad Ahmed Alanzi (talk) 09:06, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Sameera Aziz

As someone unfamiliar with journalism in Saudi Arabia, I tried to rescue an article about a journalist from speedy deletion. The article is currently under discussion on the AfD boards, and due to cultural differences, I'm not sure it will survive. I'm seeing significant notability, but perhaps I am overestimating the Saudi Gazette's notability? Any experts on Saudi Arabia, journalism, or expatriate issues is eagerly sought for an informed opinion. Regards. --OliverTwisted ^(Talk) (Stuff) 03:42, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Notice from the Portals WikiProject

WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   07:44, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
