In Spain and Portugal the child adopts the surnames of both of his parents. Additionally there is an old tradition of adopting many middle names, usually names of Catholic Saints and names running in the family. Similarly Arabic names (at least many of us) are very long, I personally use a...

Yes, I have a problem when a user (you in this case) seemingly has problems understanding elementary English (my posts) since you make fake claims of me "defending" Khashoggi's murder. Of course I am not going to accept, what the hell are you expecting exactly? You just wrote it yourself, you...

Strange, I naively thought that "professionals" were able to understand elementary English, seems not to be the case even though my posts in this thread are visible for everyone. I don't care about Erdogan jailing the highest number of journalists in the world and the long list of Turkish...

Why engage in a discussion if you don't read what the person that you are bothering to discuss with online is writing? What is the point of it? To start some online argument for the sake of it? Which part of "I condemn his murder", "people in KSA were shocked", "it was a big political blunder...

Iran is not a conventional military threat for KSA. They don't have the ability to invade KSA or pose an existential threat to KSA, unless they acquire nuclear weapons. No regional actor is. So the key thing here are nuclear weapons. I see great prospects of a successful Arab-Israeli cooperation...

Yes, take one sentence out of the reply to fake an "outrage" even though the statement was not controversial at all and in line with what Western media themselves wrote following his murder.:lol: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/14/world/middleeast/jamal-khashoggi-saudi-arabia.html...

May I ask you, how much do you know about seawater desalination plants and the current technological advances and likely future ones that will lower the costs significantly? If Egypt can spend billions of USD on military purchases, nothing stops them from building and managing a few seawater...

So it should be called the Kingdom of Hijaz, Najd, Eastern Arabia, Southern Arabia, Northern Arabia, Sham (Northern KSA is part of the Levant), Mesopotamia (Northeastern KSA is part of historical Mesopotamia), Yemen (Southern KSA is part of Southern Arabia/historical Yemen/), Tihamah, Al-Yamana...

The point is that you and others in this thread (who are in a much worse situation than KSA on this front when it comes to journalists, I am not even going to talk about the Mullah regime that has gunned down 1000's of its own people for protesting in the past few years, their execution rate...

Just a name change and a slight modification. Nothing more and nothing less. The parent (Arabic coffee) is well-known. No offense, every informed person is well aware of this reality. It should not really be seen as a problem for you, lol. In fact to make you happy I can claim that coffee was...

I wrote this post in one of those 10 + "KSA is collapsing" fairytale threads nevertheless it is relevant to your claims. KSA has 2 sovereign wealth funds worth an estimated 1 trillion USD. KSA has investments and assets abroad worth trillions of USD. The Saudi Arabian non-oil economy has been...

People forget that future technology (already occurring) and future weather patterns (do some research about this topic) will turn huge swathes of what is today desert/semi-desert/arid areas into fertile lands again. Seawater desalination plants (Every Arab country has been blessed with a...

PIF invested $ 9.777 billion USD during the COVID-19 pandemic in the US market alone. Now the value of its investments rose to 11.096 billion USD. A profit of 11.89% within a very short time period. 1.319 billion USD to be precise, equivalent to roughly 4.8 billion SAR

Time to repost my old post. Uranium and heavy metals in Phosphate Fertilizers From book Uranium, Mining and Hydrogeology (pp.193-198) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/226094606_Uranium_and_heavy_metals_in_Phosphate_Fertilizers Saudis to Prospect for Uranium, Thorium with China –...

There is a small difference and nothing else. Turkish coffee derives from Arabic coffee. Turks learned to drink coffee from Arabs. Turks and almost all of the world imported coffee from Arabia for centuries until Europeans (Spanish and Portuguese) spread coffee to South America. Later it spread...

They have made it a tradition to gun down 100's (in some cases 1000's) of their own citizens on a very frequent basis compared to practically every other country on the planet not at war/in conflict. Now exporting the same tradition to other nations (Iraq) as you wrote. Yet they dare to even...

It is common in KSA that families of a victim (either a deceased family member or one who suffered bodily harm) forgives the murderer/perpetrator and spares him/her from the death penalty in return for monetary compensation or due to forgiveness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diya_(Islam)...

@Nilgiri A very informative reply to my questions, buddy. Appreciated. Looks like many similar dynamics are at play among the Tamils and nearby communities as you allude too. You are correct about the spoken dialects and written language. @Falcon29 Sleep (suffice to say) is crucial. When not...

إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون Speedy recovery to the survivors and families affected. A very tragic incident.
