Hi Tequila! I am glad to have happened up your AMA. part of my work is sending people to the KSA (expats from around the world) including their families and I am astounded by two things -

  1. That people that start to live there actually enjoy your country and feel safe while there.
  2. The overall discontent towards women by what I feel is a very small minority of your countrymen. Most that I have met (in business) seem to be fairly ok with their wives and daughters living a western lifestyle.

My wonder is more of why more of these men dont take a stand against the radical few, such as that wondrous Billionare whose name slips me. Is the Muktaz (not sure I spelled it right) an autonomous group of the government or sponsored by them.(or are they just tolerated)?

I have heard stories of this religious enforcers crushing women cell phones, accosting a women for walking from work alone, calling her a prostitute and trying to solicit her.

The King seems to be a solid guy in many regards, and I guess I am wondering if things will change if the Gaurds change.

Thank you for being courageous and answering our ??'s
