| Sep 21, 2021 at 0:47 | comment | added | benrg | I think you should drop the Google Search images. I paged through the "news saudi women rights" results and there were 104 of them. It displayed "130,000,000 results" up to page 10, then "104 results" on page 11. When I told it to "repeat the search with the omitted results included", it said there were 150,000,000 results but there were actually 429. There are probably more than 429 pages containing the search terms in their multi-trillion-page database; my point is they aren't actually searching them, they're just guessing a number, probably based on independent frequencies of each word. | |

Whereas Turkey, Morocco, and Algeria directly send or employ imams in France, Saudi Arabia has been careful not to be heavy-handed about this and the Salafi mosques are not necessarily those that received direct funding from Saudi Arabia. | |

| Sep 16, 2021 at 15:53 | comment | added | Italian Philosopher | Not really, no. Saudi may not be the most enlightened place in the universe, but the current situation is largely due to the House of Saud striking a devil's bargain with the Wahhabi sect. "We'll back your religious repression if you say we rule by the grace of God". That's also well known and well covered. | |

| Sep 16, 2021 at 15:47 | comment | added | FluidCode | Actually not. All the articles I read about the situation of the women in Saudi Arabia told that those harsh rules were not imposed from above, but desired by a backward society, which is hardly credible. I never read an article or heard a politician making a statement with the same alarmed tone. I would really like to see an article published on mainstream media with such tones. | |
