Saudi Intellectual: Western Civilization Has Liberated Mankind
Okaz: "Sir, you can admire this civilization as much as you want, but not at the expense of others, especially our own civilization."
Buleihi: "My admiration for the West is not at the expense of others; rather, it is an invitation to those others to acknowledge their illusions and go beyond their inferiority and liberate themselves from backwardness.
The rest.
Saudi Intellectual? Ha, ha, very funny.
BillyHW:
During the middle ages, arabia was the most enlightened of civilizations, preserving and expanding on the intellectual works of ancient Greece and India while the rest of the world made little progress.
The renaissence of Europe owes much to the works preserved and passed on by these arabs.
