Mr. Fouad is a very courageous man, his determination for freedom of speech helped me understand the oppresion of media. I totally agree that Saudis should move on. However Mr. Fouad, remember the law while enforcing your freedom of speech.

Saudis are governed by the Law of Saudi Arabia. Freedom of speech is all good and fine as long as it doesn’t bring filthy ideologies. What is the objective and motives behind defaming a group of people. Blog all you want Mr. Fouad but remember to obey the law

I agree that Saudis need to Move On. No Man has the right to put a yoke of Oppression on another Man. Is the Thought Police looking over our shoulders ?

Most people are sheep, that don’t fight back against oppressors. And that is why the Saudi government is so oppressive, just like the Taliban.
Your fear keeps them in power: Remeber that.
In order to acquire freedom: You must rot the oppressive government (the house of Saud) from the inside, out.
And send anyone to prison afterwards that uses religion to solicit war, hate, violence and prejudice there afterwards.
One day there will be a wolf in sheep’s clothing in the kings flock. And then there will be no more king, more so when the rest of the sheep take their costumes (burqa’s) off.
Stop using religion as a weapon!
Bless Us All.

@Salah Ali

I hope that you mean all that for young women just the same. Outside the world of islam we experience that muslim societies use radical violence and oppression against their females. You have to start to free yourself from religious traditions as they are the key to all oppressions. It was the same in Europe or in Eastern Asia

dear all,
i dont believe the response of Fouad’s arrest on the arab news web sites. the comments section is almost 90% pro arresting him. after reading this i start to believe that may be saudis are happy with the stuts quo. they do not want any freedoms.
