THE "MAGIC KINGDOM"
Reader comment on item: Anti-Islam & Anti-Islamism Trumps Islam in the West: Polls
Submitted by K B (United States), Jan 10, 2014 at 08:47
I worked in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for 7.5 years in the 90's, plus I traveled to many of the surrounding Muslim countries. I have a very unique and insightful perspective on Islam, in particular the way it's practiced in the "Magic Kingdom". I write short stories about my life's experiences. I have one rather lengthy "short" story about the Middle East, esp. Saudi, that covers the hypocrisy,the alcoholism and oppression of women that is rampant in Saudi. Another shorter one details my observance of a beheading in Riyadh in '93..
If you are interested in reading them let me know.
