As a Saudi Muslim, the two social identities I want to talk about are Islam as a religion and Saudis. Religion is an organized set of beliefs, cultural systems and worldviews relating humanity to an order of existence.

Rights in Saudi Arabia
Being born and raised in America, I and many other Americans have been taught that we live in a country of freedom. Women and men are treated equally; every human being has rights, and you have the freedom to move at will and without restrictions.
