How sad is this?

The problem is though, since the rest of the world looks to Saudi Arabia as an example of Islam, it should be the best example it could be.

For example, there's an imam at the mosque, and a random muslim man. The muslim man may do unislamic things, but he does not "represent" islam, so to speak. People will think "oh, he's just a man who lies". If people see the imam doing something unislamic, they'll automatically relate his action to islam, even if it's nothing to do with the religion. So they'll think "he's a leader of muslims and he lies?! what a horrible religion" I'm not saying that's right, but that's how people's minds work. And of course, the muslim man does somewhat represent the islam and the muslim community, but not nearly as much as the imam does.

So when you are a representative of something, you've always got to be on your best behavior, and try not to mess up, because people will be watching your every move. This is why when Saudi Arabia, or even Iran, or any other muslim country with "shariah" does something against islam, it is seen as a huge deal.

Akhi take it easy, this is not how we give nasee7ah jazaak Allahu kheir.

Just giving a reality check on Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is not a shariah state. No one can argue otherwise. One more thing for muslims. If a person insults Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and I give him $100 worth of gift what is the ruling on me? Does that make me a disbeliever? Saudi king gave a person that insulted prophet Muhammad s.a.w more then $10,000 gift. Interesting how he can travel to give gifts to enemy of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Yet cannot show a bit of mercy to the people that follow Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.

LOL I am sure no one has a problem with the land itself. But we have a problem with who is ruling that country. Anyways I do agree fall of Saddam came now soon fall of Saud will come Inshallah. (I do not agree with Military action)
