for a unique view of saudi arabia by one of its citizens, be sure to check out the archive as it contains some very funny observations and criticisms... don't forget to observe the 'Muslim Offence Level' meter, very sharp indeed

I have to say it says a great deal about saudi and some of the ideals practiced there. Appart from being an interesting insight into a foreign culture the guy who owns the blog has a very pointy sense of humour and is not afraid to make his point clear, under any circumstances.
Unfortunately the blog is no longer being continued, but the last year or so of news and comments made it well worth a bookmark in my browser.

This bit tickled my funnybone (concerning cartoons and muslim protest in the UK):

We have ways....


....of making you talk.
A long-time friend of this blog, fellow shawarma addict and regular Boston to Bahrain commuter, the author of the "Cerebral Waste" blog, has managed to pin me down and get me to answer some questions, in this interview.
It was actually a post on this blog that was my inspiration for the "Muslim Offense Level". There was a particular entry for the British that went like this:
The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940, when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a"Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666.
The entries for other Europeans are rather less flattering!

Agree, I had some laughs over the months at that site, but haven't visited it since a longer while now. Hope that he closed it does not mean he is in trouble.
