ââ¬ÅSaudi Arabia still projecting the real picture of Islam
The geo-political consequences later on the 9-11 mishap wide-cutly twisted the image of the Muslim countries each oer the world. Many countries alike(p) Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Syria and Iran had to face the menace of the War Against Terrorism and up to now had to combat with their domestic security issues which set tough challenges for them to struggle to corroborate their peaceful image on an international perspective. Saudi-Arabian-Arabian-Arabian-Arabian Arabia is one Moslem country which somehow managed to sustain its dignified and peaceful image on the map of the modern international political scenario and this was possible because of their positive and authoritative foreign policies, their economic stability and their potent financial role crossways the globe. Another factor that added to their credit was their domestic prevalence and sustenance of legality and order that en subjectd the pace of their reach to remain uniform and also provided outside favors to flourish within the country.Most of the Muslim countries have not been able to earn significance in the pace of economic progress and phylogeny of the world throughout the last century despite being the crude producing and exporting countries like Syria could not be listed amongst the developed ones. But Saudi Arabia since its establishment of advanced state back in 1932 has not exclusively been uniform in its form of politics but also maintained a uniform pace of progress and development in all the walks of life.Its chief source of income has no doubt been the export of oil and products of petroleum as it has been one of the leading oil producing countries of the world but the Government of Saudi Arabia has forever invested at a mass level to repair and upgrade the ov timell socio-economic representation of the country. Saudi Arabia is the center of the Islam as the entire Muslim ummah (community) ahead towards this region during the holy month of Zil Haj to make out t he yearbook pilgrimage (HAJ) to the holy city of Kaaba, in Makkah and also to redeem homage to the Prophets grave in Madinah.This annual touristry also brings in a lot of foreign exchange and revenue enhancement to the Saudi treasure. Apart from the earnings the organizing of this great event e genuinely course also proves the persistent efficiency of the Saudi administration and also their expertise in catering people from different regions of the world with heterogeneous backgrounds in the most homogenous environment. They have certainly proved to be very ardent custodians of the Islamic heri white of the Two Holy Places. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always kept the superb maintenance of these two Holy places in the top most priority.The Ministry of Pilgrimage, in union with other governance agencies, manages the annual logistical challenge for the organization of Hajj and endorses such projects in the Kingdom and abroad that promote Islams role in the community. The ann ual conducting of Hajj reflects the lettering of the leadership and citizens of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the service of Islam and this also tot partner negates and defies the world(a) impression of the Muslim community as terrorists or fanatics.Apart from the unearthly service Saudi Arabia has also been a great donor for more Muslim countries for several humanitarian causes and also as war aid. Since 2002, Saudi Arabia has provided more than $480 cardinal in budgetary support to the Palestinian mandate and supported Palestinian refugees through contributions to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). more than than $250 meg was also provided to Arab League funds for the Palestinians, and plight $500 million in assistance over the next three years at the Donors Conference in Dec 2007 pledged $230 million to development in Afghanistan pledged $1 billion in export guarantees and soft loans to Iraq pledged $133 million in direct grant aid, $187 million in concessional loan s, and $153 million in export credits for Pakistan earthquake relief pledged a total of $1. 9 billion to Lebanon in assistance and deposits to the Central edge of Lebanon in 2006 and pledged an additional $1. 1 billion in wee 2007. Many things may have been said in the most crucial diction about Saudi Arabia by the west especially afterward the 911 attacks. Some writers like Dore Gold in his book Hatreds Kingdom How Saudi Arabia Supports the New Global Terrorism have stated the Saudi government to be directly involved in the plotting of the attacks and even nurturing the Al-Qaedas master minds like Osama Bin Laden.Such claims could easily be do and concocted as all the odds were tilted towards the Muslim community at the heat of the moment of the 911. But the fact is that Saudi Arabia has always been an ally for the war for peace and has supported US during the Gulf War in 1990. Secondly Saudi Arabia and US have been partners in the petroleum exports and dissemination since 19 70s when ARAMCO was established. Saudi Arabia is also considered to be one of the fastest ontogeny countries of the modern era.This is because of Saudi Arabias free market economy which has shown infrequent progressive shifts in the recent past. It has been observed that Saudi Arabia has managed to develop its country society into an advanced economy that is globally connected through modern technology and infrastructure. This depicts the progressive minded approach of the Saudi government which has always focused on the development of the country by meeting the contemporary pace of development especially in the modern means and modes communication.This spring towards progress began during the time of King Faysal who invested at a large denture for the improvement of the infrastructure and the communication system. His motto was the modernization of Saudi Arabia. This era is even known to be the renaissance of the Saudi intellect of progress and development. And since then Saud i Arabia has made an effort to become the member of WTO in December 2005.Although there may be numerous reasons why countries like Saudi Arabia become a victim of criticism under the tag of stereotypical for its people, ideas, customs and even religious beliefs but the fact and the figures regarding Saudi Arabias peaceful role in the present scenario political fervour proves that associating such rigid views with such a progressive and rapidly ontogenesis country like Saudi Arabia would itself be a biased and un-scrutinized dented of thought that requires maturity of insight to comprehend.
