I agree with you. Islam is in the USA only. KSA is another bad example of the Middle Eastern countries, but the worst. I am really shocked, but this is the truth. They are back to pre Islam. |

You misunderstand me. I am merely stating what I have seen. Many Muslims (especially from the USA) come to KofSA with a vision that they are coming to some sort of ideal Islamic State.
Just like idealists who believed in Socialism paying their first visit to the USSR - they are disappointed !
Or another comparison - like the ideologues around Mohammed Ali Jinnah who really believed that the state they were building would be a pure Islamic entity, where the law would ensure justice for all.!

| Thanks! The truth is: the "theory of ideal islam" in KSA has failed, and probably never existed. Islam came to this land to "correct" their barbaric behavior. |

windstar,
I promise to find the contact information for you. We (the university) were in a week vacation, and just started the school Saturday. Again, they canceled the classes Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for "Job Search" workshop. I will get you the contact information soon. |

Some of the "Failures" living in Saudi Arabia are actually quite happy... Ponder your judgements and proofread your posts please.
Thanks,

Getting rubber in second gear. Gives it a new meaning or do you think that the Americans meant differently? |

People I talked to at taibah sound very reasonable. I have not worked or been there personally. I had an interview with them and waiting for any news. I heard people in the city are quite friendly. Good luck and wish us luck too.
I should mention though, if you are not Muslim, Taibah is not a proper place for you as I gather from other discussions because almost everything is within Haram circle. |
