Mas Selamat Bodoh

attached below is a must watched documentary. especially us muslims. apa yg aku rasa yg kita boleh belajar dlm documentary ini ialah the real truth bagaiman radikal islam wujud from the most beginning. well the docmentary lebih mengisahkan kewujudan dan kemajuan arab saudi. dan juga keburukkannya kerana di arab saudi lah juga tempatnya radicalism tumbuh dan sekaligus memperburukkan islam dan membuat orang melayu islam jadi bodoh seperti mas selamat. a must watch documentary.


StoryVille - The House of Saud

The Saudi royal family is not given to public pronouncements. In the wake of 9/11, which was a disaster for Saudi Arabia because Osama Bin Laden was himself a Saudi and had packed the planes with Saudi citizens, they have given exclusive access to Storyville.

They tell what is in effect their own story, and it is as if the House of Windsor had suddenly decided to go public with their own version of British history. But there's a catch - as we learn from episode one, the Saudi royal family is Saudi Arabia. The country is kept going by the monarchy, its priestly beliefs, and the largest oil reserves in the world.

The tale is by turns improbable and hilariously convincing. The Saudi royals prove to be a hyper-articulate lot. But their relations with the Americans resemble those enjoyed by Bertie Wooster and Jeeves. The Americans of course prove to be a very up-to-date Jeeves. They will supply anything the Saudis want, except when the question of the existence of Israel is raised.

The Saudis say they wish to change themselves, modernising the monarchy. Watch both programmes, and try to figure out whether they will ever be capable of doing so. A must.
