<p>There was so little time to take the pictures so we skipped a lot of things. I didn&#8217;t bring my camera thinking I&#8217;d be shy to take it out and start taking pictures with all those people around.. ThankGod <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hamoud/">HKR</a> isn&#8217;t the kind of people to get shy, in any situation, and brought his camera <img src='http://somecontrast.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  (You need to change the eye piece thingy in your camera! it keeps popping out when I&#8217;m taking pictures!)</p>

<p>The MPS held a convention/celebration to acknowledge Hamas&#8217; perseverance. </p>
<p>Literal translation:<br />
Woman: This is Kuwait&#8217;s Ghetra. You MPS sold Kuwait. You&#8217;re all hypocrites. This is the Kuwaiti&#8217;s Ghetra.</p>
<p>Implication (in my opinion):<br />
People at the convention were wearing the palestinians&#8217; Ghetras or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keffiyeh">Keffiyeh</a>, as a sign of support for Hamas and palestine. The woman felt offended and was opposing the whole thing, in a very unsubtle way.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m hoping there is a full video somewhere of this incident so we can get a better idea.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve received this via email from my friend, and apparently I wasn&#8217;t fast enough to post it since atleast 2 blogs did so far. But anyway better late than never. For those of you who cannot read arabic I&#8217;ll make an attempt to give you the gist of the letter:</p>
<p>In a nutshell this is a letter sent by the Emir of Riyadh, Salman Bin Abdulaziz, to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, stating that the way the Emir Sultan was behaving was inappropriate and that calling the TV station and reprimanding the TV hosts in public and on live tv was not in line with the kind of tone the Saudis have come to expect from such public figures.</p>
<p>The Emir of Reyadh also mentioned that Emir Sultan was overstepping his authority when he called Abu Athnain, who is from a well-known family, an ill raised. And then finally He asked the King to try to stop this kind of behavior, pointing out that this wasn&#8217;t Emir Sultan&#8217;s first time, but that He had done similar things in the past, and some were in public too.</p>
<p>This keeps getting better <img src='http://somecontrast.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Thanks <strong>Khalid</strong></p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
<p>So <a href="http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2009/01/27/65151.html">AlArabiya</a> published a statement by saudi officials denying the whole content of this letter above and they said it&#8217;s all fake and fabricated. Personally, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s fake coz I think If I ever did something similar and sent this letter and it reached the public, I&#8217;d deny it too.</p>
<p>I just checked <a href="http://www.buzberry.com/">Buzberry</a> and it seems me and Alvaro are on the same page <img src='http://somecontrast.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Thanks <strong><a href="http://www.buzberry.com/">HBZ</a></strong> and <strong>Fawaz</strong> for the link.</p>
