I received this story by email three days ago (Thanks, Yasmin!). Reporter Ed Bradly of 60 Minutes, have spoken to some people in Saudi Arabia, and made this report.
"I like to be free. All people like to be free," a woman, who asked the cameraperson to follow her into a ladies room, where she removed her veil, said. All people like to be free, but the government does not understand this. Prince Sultan Bin Salman, the minister of tourism, told the reporter: "It's not important to have elections. It's important to have stability." OK, but what your highness think about this, we have democracy, and therefor, we have more stability. Isn't this better?
"I believe in equal right for everyone according to their circumstances," says Dr. Saleh al-Sheikh, the minister of Islamic affairs. This is so ironic. What we can understand from what the minister says is this: "we want to give people freedom, but we want it to be in our style," which I see it as non-freedom. People want to get their freedom, but they for sure do not want it be given by you.
MBC4 is broadcasting this show to the Middle East. I hope they include this report, but I'm afraid I missed the show because the date of the show is March 23, and I'm not sure if MBC4 is broadcasting the show on the same day. I'll ask some friends if they have watched it. Have anyone of you watched it? # »
