I've just come back from 6 nights in Jeddah. I walked around the town for hours. I didn't feel any hostility; nobody yelled abuse at me; I wasn't harassed in any way. Most Saudis are apologetic about the extremists. With some reasonable precautions e.g. avoiding places associated with the USA such as McDonalds / Hilton / Sheraton you'll be perfectly safe. Who said 'the only thing we have to fear is fear itself"?

Charlie Fox , you either must be among the most daring of expats or the most foolish to wander around Jeddah in todays climate of anti - Western feelings in the Kingdom. There is such a thing as asking for trouble , and that`s what you are doing.... quick question , are you white ?
I`ve got a lot to say about the Kingdom and none of it is good. They`ve earned it by their racist , arrogant , selfish , bury - their - head in - the sand attitude. I can`t wait for the house of Saud to implode.
Name another country in the world named from a dictatorial " family "
The world will see this scourge of mankind evaporate forever , just as the Nazis did.....`cept these guys are worse , have more $$ , are more evil , and well instead of just hating the Jews , these guys hate everyone , you silly infidel.

What in Hades is BA thinking???? KU is just as bad as Saudi Arabia, just hasn't been hit yet!
With Crown Prince Abdullah giving the "anii" 30 days to give themselves up and return to the true teachings of Moe (PBUH) we can foresee some more activity south of Baghdad.
I "escaped" KU mid-2002, but not before some 17yr old Kuwaiti got into Fintas Towers with 7kg of Semtex and some AAA batteries. Luckilly, one of the Bangla cleaners saw him fiddling around the plant room and called his sisters boyfreind, a KU cop.
IJP, did you hear any more about his "future".?

The whole area is going to hell. Iran is well on the way to building nukes, which no way in a million years will Israel allow, expect an attack within six months, followed by massive outrage across the Muslim world. Saudi will descend into chaos and the neighbouring states will probably erupt too. I suspect the only one that might retain 'some' sort of stability will be (ironically) Iraq. Prepare yourself for very "interesting" times ahead.
