When can we go back to normal?
For a year now, there’s been no unhindered exercising at the gym. No vacations. No visiting with friends. And no long lunches out at our favorite restaurants, once a thrice-weekly indulgence.After the pandemic started last February, we ceased all normal activities and have been trapped in a bubble.But now that we’ve received our second dose of the vaccine, can we resume normal activities? What is it safe to do?With nearly 3 million doses given in our country now against COVID-19, many ask the same questions. Should they hug their grandchildren? Attend gathering? Go shopping? What about having plumbers and electricians inside their homes? Or flying?COVID-19 vaccines are effective at protecting you from getting sick. Based on what we know about COVID-19 vaccines, people who have been...

When can we go back to normal?

No more discrimination
“Wind does not discriminate, it touches everyone, everything,” was a quote from Lish McBride, and these wise words remain etched in our minds for its deep impact, stressing wind’s role without discrimination.The quality of being fair is an attribute that we all seek and become a way of living, as this is respectful of individual rights. I thus believe fairness must be given generously, knowing this trait is a lifestyle and main characteristic of noble communities.Clearly Saudi Arabia has made progress and achieved social equality, particularly in improving the contractual relationship in the private sector and also by empowering women and providing equal chances for them in work.Many outsiders pose this question in terms of social equality or economic rights here in Saudi Arabia....

Judicial reforms on the way
A radical re-establishment of laws and legislations in a clear, specific and accurate manner, thus the basis for the work of the judiciary, is to implement the clear laws issued.This enables beneficiaries to predict judgments, raises the level of integrity and efficiency of the performance of judicial agencies, increases confidence in procedures and controls mechanisms, as they are integral in achieving justice, imposing limits to judicial responsibility and stabilizing legal references.In consequence, judges' discretionary authority to impose penalties and judgments that were primarily based on their experiences and trials are now limited.Additionally, judges will be restricted in their judgments due to previous vague judgments that have led to the discrepancy of rulings and the lack...

Saudi Arabia is getting ready!
THE drone attack launched by the Iran-backed Houthi militia toward the Saudi port of Ras Tanura in the Arabian Gulf has brought out the challenges to leftist-oriented new American policy, influenced by terrorist elements.This stupid Iranian behavior was not and will not be a passing event, and the Saudi reference to it is not a message that can simply be overlooked without any reaction, especially since the Saudis, in the aftermath of the attacks on the Abqaiq and Khurais oil refineries, showed patience and took into account the regional and international interest and responded to the wishes of the international community.Saudi Arabia did this with an expectation that the international community would understand what happened to the Kingdom as a result of Iran’s continuing aggression,...

Identifying real and reliable partners to serve mutual interests
The New York Times newspaper published on Feb. 16, 2011, leaked some of the contents of the classified document titled “Presidential Study Directives 11 (PSD 11)” prepared by the US National Security Agency. The newspaper indicated that the document recommended sacrificing a number of political regimes in the Middle East that have become a threat to US interests.Clare Lopez, a former CIA operative, confirmed during a Congressional hearing that this document called for the use of America’s capabilities to support the overthrow of allied governments and handing over power to the Muslim Brotherhood organization in Egypt and North Africa, as well as to enable Iran to control the Arabian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula.During the past two months, the new American administration hastened to...

Identifying real and reliable partners to serve mutual interests

Media is no less important as a defense
Media plays a major role in offense or defense. Much of the negative news about Saudi Arabia in the media originates from Western’s sources. As you can see, most of them aim to harm our country’s image with all means of offensive news.I strongly believe that we have to take a different direction in terms of media and to invest in our talented and skilled people to respond to the kind of fake topics disseminated via strangers out of the country.I suggest a shift in our media from a narrow local circle into a wider global circle. By this, I mean to speak to the world in all languages and for that we need to put a lot of effort in this area.We don’t need to convince the people inside for they know the truth, but the outside world will show no sympathy to us because we failed to deliver...

Media is no less important as a defense

The final card in the Khashoggi case
It is quite clear that the Biden administration is trying to rebuild the ceiling of expectations accompanying its arrival to the White House, specifically with regard to regional issues, the Iranian dossier, relations with the Kingdom, and closing an issue that has witnessed the largest politicization operation — the case of Saudi citizen Jamal Khashoggi. Hence, those cashing in on Saudi citizen Jamal Khashoggi’s case have nothing left with them but the last card; the US Intelligence Report. The day before publishing the US Intelligence Report on the incident of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the telephone call between King Salman and US President Joe Biden was the first by the new American president with leaders of the Arab and Middle Eastern...

The final card in the Khashoggi case

It is high time to correct wrong concepts about women’s status
Dr. Muhammad Al-Issa, member of the Council of Senior Scholars and secretary general of the Muslim World League (MWL), underlined the need to understand the religious texts in a comprehensive and correct way from all angles and not to take them out of their context and understand the real implications so as to reach out to the correct and intended meaning of the text in the legislation.He also cautioned that extremists are circulating wrong concepts about the position and real status of women in Islam after drawing inference from portions of some verses of the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah and taking them out of their context. These people use God’s directive of “Settle in your homes,” extracted from a Qur’anic verse out of context to prevent women from going out and participating in...

It is high time to correct wrong concepts about women’s status

Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty
The concept of sovereignty has existed for hundreds of years throughout our historical, geographical, economic limits and dimensions, but talk on this subject is increasingly dominating nowadays. Saudi Arabia has the region’s largest history, geography and economy and this factor weighed in the Saudi decision that called for international companies to have headquarters in Saudi Arabia if they hope to land government contracts in 2024.Broadly speaking Saudi Arabia and Saudis have asserted genuine sovereignty with their unified reaction against the CIA report. And that is a part of the fulfilled quest for self-determination. For this reason, many countries have affirmed the attitude of Saudi Arabia.There is Saudi Arabia’s insistence of unanimity for Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman,...

Fundamentals of Saudi–US relations won’t be transformed into variables
THE historic Saudi-American relationship was not decided by the current administration in the United States. These strategic ties came into a reality when two of the world’s great men King Abdulaziz and President Franklin Roosevelt met in 1945 aboard the ship USS Quincy. That meeting witnessed the laying down of basic rules for a strategic relationship that is impossible to be compromised for strategic reasons concerning not only the two countries but also for the international stability and safeguarding of the global system.The political status of the Saudi leadership is not tested in the new unacceptable report in all its details, whether at the international or popular level, as the Saudi society shows unflinching loyalty to the institution of governance in Saudi Arabia led by...
