Oppression?

The anonymous blog http://anonymous.kuwaitblogs.com, put up by Nibaq, is an excellent social study. It revealed that many of our Kuwaiti brethren are suffering from oppression and they have now found a place where they can vent out.

Meanwhile, in the land of truer oppression, i was in Riyadh last week, and went to Harvey Nichols, and all of a sudden and at the call of prayer, i got rushed in to the fitting room by the security guards and was stuck there for 45 minutes. I felt like i was cattle and the smell of Jimmy Choo leather did not help. I was so mad i wanted to break something.

Imagine if you had to go through this kind of treatment over and over again. What would the anonymous posts and comments look like?

Comments:
In the fitting room? What are they, smuggling customers?
 
!!!!!

If I were in such a situation I would......hell, I don't know what would I do other than puff like an angry dragon :S
 
they have fitting rooms now! what an accomplishment .. i'm impressed
 
but why??? any explanation? kil hatha 3ashan i99alat. willi matigdar it9alli
 
loool...girl u have some issues with KSA, u shouldnt go there anymore

truly i believe that what is happeining in that land is normal and OK to saudies and other ppl who used to live there

the problem is with someone like u or me..who visit the country and get a real culture shock of what he sees

anonymous blog will be full of fu*ks and as*sholes and all the range of $#&**&*(*)(^%$%%##%***%&

word verification please:)take it off ..or will send u to the fitting room again:P
 
yes it is opressive and being Saudi I suffer from such policies

what makes you so sure of your statement? Why do you think that it is ok for us? Are you even aware of the people who live in Saudi, their problems and fustrations?

I suggest you stick to your problems in Kuwait, and navigate away from Saudi since you are obviously CLUELESS as to what our frustrations are

Yes, and regarding the fucks and assholes they exist in your culture too
 
hehe i made it on some1's hate list on anonymous and on someone's "hypocrite" list

Its amazing that these list can exist in a world as big as the internet cuz if you don't like me and/or what i write, you can use that little X on the top right hand of this window and never come back.

Misguided

take care
 
I don't understand the point of hiding during athan. :/
 
kellama6goog,

It's good to know where to draw the line .. that is to avoid such clashes in the future..

o ma 7asal illa khair
 
What a horrible experience!
And senseless.
 
Ma fahamt, why would they rush you to the fitting room?
 
Dear All,

I will be travelling again tomorrow, so please excuse my delayed responses.

They rushed us to avoid getting in trouble with the Hay2ah (Islamic Police, very 1984 - as in the novel)
 
i had the same exact conversasion that day with Tata. but he mentioned one good point ..
which was; what if it was the same person writing all those irritating posts on anony. !
 
anonymous.kuwaitblogs.com
هالموقع اوالبلوغ هو مثال لمن يعطى حرية دون قيود
بعض المواضيع مفيدة والكثير الأخر مقزز للذوق العام وإذا كانت الحرية او وسيلة التعبير عن مكنون الشخص هكذا للأسف تظهر اسوأ ما فيه الشخص وبالمواطن
والكبت له طرق أخرى
وعن الموضوع الثاني الي يتعود على العيشة في المملكة ما راح يحتج وخروجه بيكون ما بعد الصلاة وكل دولة ولها ظروفها
اصلا المملكة حدها عمرة او حج بس
 
45 minutes? that's some long prayer ;)are you sure it wasn't lunch break? :)
 
ملكة سبا وين اختفيتي
 
Jashanmal,
Catch-22 is Saudi, and you can see from her reply that all though she was born and raised there, she still has not adjusted to the oppression. Actually it is very insulting to expect a whole population of 20 something million to adapt to being rushed into or out of places 4 times a day, because of fear from the "Islamic police".
