The image marks the beginning of a project that I have been wanting to carry out for some time. I have lived Saudi Arabia for 3 years, and I can assure you that the reality is quite different. In fact, there are many things that we Westerners could actually learn from them. I really admired and enjoyed the strength of their friendships, the closeness of their families, their sense of humour and how friendly and generous they are.
I’ve heard this several times over the years so it’s probably true. But for myself I think of ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ at such words when I read about all of the other abuses that are part and parcel of this “religion”.
Friendship, closeness, etc....
Yeah, until they kill you
