IN SAUDI ARABIA, MOST OF THE POPULATION IS ULTRA CONSERVATIVE
Malcolm Evans creates an image that displays one Western woman and one Middle East woman who voice similar views on one another although given their polar opposite backgrounds.

Running Head: SAUDI ARABIA Saudi Arabia’s Military: The Social Aspects of the Kingdom’s Armed Forces Introduction For a land with such a long history of military conquests, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a relatively short one.

After Al-Qaeda’s involvement in the Cold War, their planned attacks were a set-up for something bigger: the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11th, 2001.
