oh man this cracked me up, I understand his frustration
He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light: and He is Full of Mercy to the Believers. [Quran {33:43}] www.QuranicAudio.com www.Quran.com
Subhaan'Allaah that is so true! unfortunately it goes for a few other nations too...
Jazakallaahu khaayr for sharing.

"Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists).".."[Al Qur'aan 3:2]
MEMRI translated this. Be careful because MEMRI translations are not reliable.
The Sheikh paints a simplistic picture, though I understand his frustration and it is a motivating lecture. Some parts of the world do better than others and this is normal. This will continue to happen...
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
السلام عليكم
Just to clear some points, he was talking about the whole arab countries not just Saudi Arabia (but I think he just meant the gulf countries).
* the translation is quite accurate.
* for those who don't know this guy, he is sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi the president of the international union for muslim scholars, was born in Egypt and now lives in Qatar.
although I dont trust MEMRI - the sheiks right about the mid east.
peace
Do you think the pious don't sin?
They merely:
Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
Took ownership of it and don't justify it
And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim
My friend who sold "Do-It-Yourself" guide of solar panels (in e-book and video form) in internet asked me :
"Where are the good markets for this product"
I told him "USA, especially California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Florida. And also Australia"
"Why"
"There are deserts or warm places in those areas, and they got enough sun ray every year"
"But why not Gulf Countries ?, that is desert area"
And I said "No !, if you want to offer a product to people in Gulf Countries, it's better if you offer ready-to-use solar panels, complete with installation service. This product is Do-It-Yourself guide, and those Gulf Countries people are too lazy to create something, but they never hesitate to spend their money if they like a product".

To my brothers and sisters in Gulf Countries:
Please forgive me. I do not have any disrespect to you and people in your area. What I have said above is based on my market observation result. I found Americans are creative, and they love to create something. But people in Gulf Countries ? .......... please forgive me.
