We all make mistakes, but is exposing and destroying people on TV and through other media outlets by scandalizing them and their entire family respecting a human right?
How can a citizen of a great country be killed by police just for his race in full view and hearing of the world, while he is dying and screaming, "I can't breathe"? How were his civil and human rights safeguarded?
How can the President of the greatest country in the world talk about women in a way that no women whatsoever would accept? Where are women's rights to decency and respect upheld and respected, when the leader of the greatest country on earth regards them with such condescension and disdain?
How can I not be completely free to protect my children from COVID-19 by not allowing my children to wear a mask (Texas and Florida)? Where is a mother's right to protect her children? I think that falls in the broad category of "Human Rights".
Is paying taxes to a country based solely on citizenship, regardless of where he or she lives, furthering human rights?
Finally...
Don't point a finger; the other three are pointing back at you.
And for the icing on the cake I would end this portion of my answers by saying:
I made a decision long ago to stick to my beloved country and sacred land unconditionally, and maybe all that I have been through and in this country is just an eventual blessing in disguise.
I remember being in New York City some years ago, in 2013, and every time I said I was from Saudi Arabia, people would say, is that Dubai???
And now the whole world knows where I come from.
How is Covid-19 being dealt with in Saudi Arabia?
As a medical professional having worked in two major Saudi Armed Force Hospitals for over 25 years, I can honestly say that I believe the Kingdom Ministry of Health has advised citizens and residents in a very transparent manner. Measures were taken early on to halt the rampant spread of the virus, which included border closings and the grounding of international and domestic flights. Curfews were imposed and enforced throughout the Kingdom and a masking mandate was put in place that remains in place up until today. As a people, we pulled together to fight and overcome this virus; our sense of pride and nationalism, and our unifying religion, enables us to respond as ONE.
Would you compare and contrast the Covid response in your native country with what is happening in the United States?
The United States is governed federally, by state, and by county. As my American husband explained to me, state's rights and state legislatures can supersede federal law, which seems can't be made and enforced anyway. So trying to mandate controls consistently in the United States is like trying to herd cats. It is exactly for this reason, that the US now has the highest rate of Covid cases in the world. There is so much division among individual state populations. The result is that the virus and its spread are very difficult to control centrally. We do not have that same problem in Saudi Arabia, where everything and everybody marches to the beat of the same drum. We definitely have more of a unity that is born of national pride that is also rooted in our beloved Islam. I don't see that same unity among Americans.
As far as I am concerned, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has responded to and controlled the threat of Covid-19 at least as well as any western country and better than most, including the United States.
