Saudis flee dry kingdom to Bahrain for New Year

[Cheetah786]

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Residents of Saudi Arabia, where booze and New Year's celebrations are banned, flooded into neighboring Bahrain in search of festivities to ring in 2013.

More than 80,000 cars crossed a causeway over the Gulf to Bahrain Monday night to celebrate New Year's Eve, the Saudi newspaper Al-Youm reported on Tuesday. Saudi Arabia adheres to a strict interpretation of Islam and bans alcohol as well as celebrations of Christmas and New Year's Eve. It also prohibits unrelated men and women from mingling.

Saudis and foreign residents of the oil-rich kingdom frequently take the half-hour drive across the causeway to Bahrain on weekends, filling bars, movie theaters and hotels in the capital Manama. Some conservative Bahraini lawmakers, however, want the government to ban alcohol and close nightclubs.

Al-Youm said a few hours before midnight, the line of cars waiting to cross King Fahd bridge stretched for a half-mile with traffic police, security and passport officers out in force to keep the revelers flowing.

So many of them go to Dubai for the same. Nothing wrong, tourism is about going to places where something you don't have in your city is available

If you are at Dubai duty free when a flight from saudi or kuwait has landed, its an eye opener. Probably the only time you will see them buying booze in their traditional attire.

Although none of this tells us what % of their population indulges.

I've visited Morocco where rich Persian Gulf Arabs had bought huge villas, only to visit them sporadically each year to screw Moroccan hookers, and enjoy alcohol, drugs, and many other God forbidden things. They also go to Lebanon for this kind of pleasure. Oil money can make a man crazy.....

Where do you want me to start? A few reasons:

1. A total lack of true leadership, defending muslim interests as we'd expect (e.g. Palestine)
2. A corrupt monarchy that is fully owned and paid for by the West (particularly the US)
3. Their treatment of non-Saudi's in KSA, viewing them almost as sub-human, and in turn viewing themselves as 'superior'
4. Incredible levels of arrogance which has been bestowed upon them by oil money
5. Despite the petro dollars ($300 billion earned in 2012), nothing really to show for it, but a young and restless unemployed population and an overall 25% poverty rate - how is that possible with all that money?
6. Ostentatious and excessive spending ($60 billion arms deal signed with the US recently) when that could be spent on more worthwhile projects internally and globally
7. Foreign trips by a good number of their nationals (in Europe, Lebanon, Morocco) to enjoy prostitutes and alcohol, yet projecting themselves as holier than thou - extreme hypocrisy

I could go on, but you get the drift..

Most of those who visit Bahrain are residents of adjoining Qatif area.

They go there to meet Irani hookers, some of those work under cover for Mullah regime of Khumani.

Pakistani Shia are more loyal to Iran than any one else... Khumani and its army is a product of UK and was formed to start fitna in middleast. Pakistanis haters are mere tools to forward evil agenda.
