Saudi Arabia and oil Emarits(sp)were soundly condemned by Muslims because they are TOO STINGY in giving to fellow Muslims in Indonesia who are suffering greatly. Saudi Arabia originally pledged only $10 mil in aid. They have now upped their contribution to a "whopping" $30 mil. I addition, they are going to hold a "telethon" for the victims. Kuwait who has had $9 BIL in oil prices this year also gave a paultry amount.
Setting aside our *duty* as a rich country to give extensive humitarian aide, we are going to have a huge public relations bonanza. Go figure. |
