5 Observations of an American Living and Working in Saudi Arabia

1. God is the foundation of their society
2. Muslims are more Christian than many Christians
3. The country is Unified and not divisive
4. Strong work ethic and talent
5. I’ve been treated with such kindness, generosity as hospitality

A respected person is the one who imposes his respect on everyone, and you, sir, imposed your respect and love on us

Thank you for making this video
Love from 🇸🇦

[Omar-jygr]

We highly appreciate you brother Michael because you're a man of integrity who tells the truth. As a fan of the US it saddens me to see the direction the US is going in today. I hope it gets back to how it was back in the 80s and 90s. I think those were America's best years ever.

Thanks for the video brother Mike!

[abdulazizaldukhiel]

You’re well appreciated for your words my kind man, and you & all Americans are welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

[youz]

Solid authenticity, integrity, and consistency. I am a Muslim living in USA and I have been watching your videos for over a year now; it’s really good to see a man like you with an open and analytical mindset who was able to come to such great conclusions and observations about Islam and Muslims.
You, my brother have seen enough. I would like to take the opportunity and invite you to discover more about Islam (you probably already doing) I mean straight from the Quran (for a man with you curiosity and analytical skills, you will find the greatest treasure in the book). And I ask Allah to guide you to the best for you, I mean to become a Muslim.
Peace brother.

welcome home brother Michael, were more than happy to have you here.

[مرامالمطيري-كه]

Hi, I don't know you, but I like it when you convey another culture. Thank you. Yes, I am a Saudi woman and I admit that Saudi women are very spoiled! But the media distorts that

[bobwennachannel]

I love to watch your videos everytime I get notifications from you.

[marvinbrown]

I believe in the teachings of the Koran, I have been misinformed over the years but that was one of the most beautiful narratives I have heard in my life. god bless you, and I hope to be their soon helping the Saudi air force Marvin Brown

[YousifAlwabil]

It is our pleasure to have you live with us

[ريمانالشهري-شم]

I want to stand and agree with you that Saudi women are proud of their religion and their country. The truth is that, as a Saudi girl, I am very proud of my country and my religion. Thank you for the beautiful video and welcome among us.🇸🇦💛

Strongly considering relocating here with me and my family. Sadly the US has lost many of these morals

[iicii]

Sadly leftism is catching here too. As Saudi secular i love how conservative our Arabian Saudi society and how the family is important and we're collectivist where everybody cares about other people too not just themselves but the west is pushing their cultural values on us and their hyperindividualism in the name of "progress", which isn't exactly the best values.

You are so wrong.I lived in Saudi with my Saudi husband and he was so abusive. I am an American. I lived with the Saudi Family In a big building and they don't treat their wives good. From outsiders they will betray they do but they don't. A lot of the men will find other wives in other countries and not tell their wife. That is against their religion. This happened to my daughter. They have to tell them before they can marry another wife. Most young Saudis today perform their religion but have no Idea what their koran says. Mother comes first even before the wife and that is wrong on so many levels. If you are a visitor or working in Saudi I definitely can see why you seen things like you did. I still have 2 kids and 4 grandkids that live there. My son hates his dad just like kids here. He don't talk to his siblings there either. They are just as messed up as American families if not more. All there hard jobs are done by 3rd world workers that are treated so poorly. Don't even get me started on the abuse they do to there maids that leave there families to work so hard and I menan from sun rise to bed time slaving for those lazy people that can do nothing in the house on their own. They work so hard I was sick seeing it. watched them cry. My heart goes out to all maids working for Saudi families. When I got my maid I asked for one that spoke English she was from Indonesia. I loved her and treated her so good. She was so abused by the Saudi family that she worked for in Riyadh. I lived in Jeddah by the Red Sea. The maids also do so much for the kids not the mother. It's so sad. Like I said as a man living in Saudi for work you word never see this side of Saudi. Im sure there are some men that treat there wives good. My son treats his wife very good. They still have a lot of problems just like the rest of the world.
