• The Wise Voice

  
  Saudi Jeans — Authority: 413
  The media circus launched in the honor of Shiekh Sa’ad al-Shethri and his rather lame comment was full of noise, but one of the rare voices of reason in the midst of the hoopla was that of Khaled al-Dakhil.

  Saudi Jeans — Authority: 413
  Although al-Yaum newspaper has enjoyed a monopoly in the Eastern Province for a very long time, it remains one of the weakest publications in the country.

• Some Saudis Whine over Shethri’s Sacking

  
  Crossroads Arabia — Authority: 436
  This article from the UAE’s The National exemplifies sloppy journalism, in my book. The writer focuses on the push-back to the King’s sacking of a cleric critical of the social rules to be followed at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. Specifically, he criticized the co-educational nature of ...

  Crossroads Arabia — Authority: 436
  Here’s an article I’d meant to post on last week, while still in Jeddah. It slipped by, but perhaps for the better, as it’s no longer buried in the clutter of the scores of articles on KAUST. Though I’ve yet to meet him—and missed him at the KAUST inauguration, sadly—Robert Lacey is an interesting fellow. ...

• ‘Saudi Univerisities Can’t Use KAUST Model’

  
  Crossroads Arabia — Authority: 436
  If you want evidence that KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) is a paradigm-shifter, you need look no further than the pages of the Saudi papers.
