I'm always a little uncomfortable "learning" anything from Fox news...

I've read about the conservatism of Al Qasim on this forum. Is this sort of thing unusual, or expected?

We were always escorted by undercover (thobed) security forces provided for us by the Prince of Qassim Province. They stayed with us whenever we travelled. I'm guessing they will just beef up this security detail.

Guess what--there are about 8 Caucasian westerners in Qassim.
Feeling a little vulnerable now.
