Terrorism, extremism two eyes of global threat, and Saudi Arabia role
Saudi Arabia is a main target of Daesh (the self-proclaimed IS) and other terror organizations, as it is the home of the Islamic religion and attracts millions of Muslims, providing them with a safe and secure environment. The Kingdom continues to expand and intensify its counter-terrorism initiatives, as both terrorism and extremism remain a major threat to the safety and security of the global community. Not all terrorists are extremists and some types of extremism have nothing to do with terrorism. Extremism is adhering to an extreme ideology, while terrorism is political violence that includes the planned targeting of non-combatants and distinguishing between direct victims and the audience that terrorists want to affect.In order to understand the War on Terror, both terrorism and...

Terrorism, extremism two eyes of global threat, and Saudi Arabia role

New world order?
There seems to be a new world order being formed these days that is an alternative to that which arose after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The most important feature of this new order is Brexit, which was developed in decision-making centers of major British universities to prepare the British public to focus on the harm of staying in the European market.Brexit proponents highlight the fact that while America recovered from the global financial crisis relatively quickly, Europe continues to suffer from it due to bureaucratic complexities and conflicts of fiscal policy that have damaged Britain’s strong economy.Another issue emphasized by those who want Britain to leave Europe is the enormous damage caused by the migration of European labor to the British market, which has contributed to...

National Song Festival
Throughout its long human history and the various names it has been given, the national song has been considered the most sincere and true societal expression of love of the homeland. It is distinguished from other kinds of songs by the positive feelings it embodies. It is full of the pride, zeal and commitment to their homeland that people carry deep in their hearts.Since the emergence of human societies, national songs and lyrics have been used to uplift the communal spirit and spread enthusiasm. Some of these national songs are like military marches with a fast tempo while others quietly reflect love for the country that is deep rooted in man.The Kingdom’s local heritage is immensely rich in artistic expression and music varies from one region to another depending on its heritage and...

Lebanese seek big changes
WITHIN 24 hours of resigning, former Lebanese prime minister, Saad Al-Hariri was asked by President Michel Aoun to form a caretaker government, which is supposed to be of technocrats rather than the country’s widely-discredited crew of politicians.Hariri had quit in the face of unprecedented protests by tens of thousands who took to the streets to demand an end to corruption at the highest levels and collapsing public services as well as root and branch financial reform which would stop to country’s descent into a serious debt crisis. Ten days into the protests he agreed a modest raft of changes, which included cutting the generous salaries of politicians. These concessions were not enough and came too late. The public mood is one of burning anger at the venality and incompetence of...

Tough times for Argentina
UNLIKE individuals, states can borrow money that will only be repaid over generations. They will also borrow to repay outstanding debt. Very few countries do not carry a burden of borrowing and the extent of that financial weight is measured in its relation to the country’s earnings, its Gross Domestic Product (GDP).Eurozone member states for instance are obliged by the rules underpinning the single currency to have debts that are no more than 60 percent of GDP. Though this formula is more honored in the breach by the likes of Italy, France, Belgium and of course Greece, the euro has the apparent might of the European Central Bank behind it and the Union’s economic powerhouse, Germany.Argentina’s debt to the GDP is currently around 86 percent, modest when compared to Belgium’s 160...

Relentlessness in California
A European journalist newly posted as a correspondent to the United States used the word “relentless” to describe his first impressions of his new home.He meant relentless in the pace of life in New York, where he was based, and relentless in the drive of industrialists and entrepreneurs and developers. Were he still working in America, he would doubtless have been using the same word to describe the two major forest fires that are currently raging at either end of the state of California. Just as the flames are relentlessly consuming hundreds of hectares of land and threatening thousands of homes, so the efforts of the fire departments are showing no let up. And this being California, whose $3 trillion gross state product makes it the equivalent of the world’s fifth largest economy,...

Quick with the prescriptions
An article that appeared recently in one of the local papers went to great lengths to highlight the growing number of patients seeking psychiatrist help and how business was booming for those prescribing the magic pills. The article implied that regional developments and uncertainties have led many to a life of anxiety and depression.What I felt the article failed to focus on were the remedial actions of those in the medical profession who are tasked with dealing with such mental anguish. In some hospitals, especially private ones, there seems to be a lack of qualified and local therapeutic help or psychiatric treatment based on a concentrated study of the patient’s medical and social background.In some hospitals, it is not uncommon to find patients waiting dolefully for their monthly...

The monster is dead
Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, leader of the monstrous terrorist organization Daesh (the self-proclaimed IS), is dead. Nothing better epitomized him than that in his final seconds, he chose to murder three of his own children when, cornered in a tunnel, he detonated his suicide vest. A blasphemous creature, who threw over every standard of decency and humanity in his crazed and brutal campaign for power, Baghdadi’s demise is a cause for joy. It not only, as President Donald Trump made clear, makes the world a safer place, but it brings some sort of closure to the families of Baghdadi’s tens of thousands of innocent victims.As long as this man lived in the shadows, there would have been willing dupes ready to go out and do his bloody business. But, of course, his death does not spell an end to...

Facebook’s planned currency not so sweet
THE German name Zuckerberg translates as “sugar mountain” and Facebook founder Mr. Zuckerberg has without a shadow of a doubt built for himself and his partners a very sweetly profitable mountain that dominates all the other social networks out there.By allowing people to keep in touch effortlessly, follow and comment on products, services, causes, dear or not so dear to their hearts, and daily news, he has empowered 2.5 billion users, 1.5 billion of whom reportedly log in at least once a day. The current world population is around 7.7 billion. Facebook has therefore made its fortune by gathering and selling on to third parties, an extraordinary amount of detailed information on more than a third of the people on the globe. National regulations on privacy are proving largely puny in...
