What is going on in the Islamic World ?.
1.Riots in Iran for freedom and was quelled by the elite guards. It is still simmering and will explode anytime.
2.Riots and overthrow of the rulers in Tunisia.
3.Riots in Yemen.
4.Riots and protests in Egypt and the government has brought in army and cut off all the telecommunications including the internet.
5.Libya's Qadhaffi is trying to put in measures to stop such an uprising in his country, while Morocco also is trying to prevent an uprising.
All this happening due to FACEBOOK and Twitter.
Thanks to the information age the people can organize and protest.
My question is when will this happen in Saudi Arabia ?.

Sunny Leone a true Canadian DESI now back in India !.
Cairo is burning.
On the side note it is learnt that the PM of Italy - Berulosconi has been maintaining a Harem in Italy. He has a choice of girls from ages of 16 to 30 years. He is paying maintenance and buying gifts to them.
He is said to have orgies there and guess who is his guru on these escapades?.
Mr.Gaddhafi of Libya. He is the one who has taught the tricks of the trade to Italian PM and also has this guy by his balls as he has tonnes of footage of this guy with various girls. That is the reason Italy and Libya has good relationship even the West does not have a good opinion on Libya.

Two mullahs pass sentence before the crowd begins to throw rocks at her head and body as she desperately tries to crawl free.
But she collapses to the ground, covered in blood. A Taliban fighter then shoots her three times in the head. The crowd can be heard shouting “allahu akbar” as she is killed.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid defended the stoning.
“Anyone who knows about Islam knows that stoning is in the Qur’an, and that it is Islamic law,’’ he told the BBC. “There are people who call it inhuman — but in doing so they insult the Prophet. They want to bring foreign thinking to this country.”
Do you guys really think that riots/ unrest are related to food shortage? I , for one, do not think so. Certainly rising cost of living is important factor but the main factor is unemployment levels and lack of any hope. People in Egypt are rioting as there unemployment rate is almost 40% and hey do not see any improvement in their prospects in future. If higher food prices were to be the reason, MMS and Sonia would have long been sent to wilderness (which would have been good for India). Unfortunately people in Egypt are jumping from frying pan to fire - Muslim Brotherhood would treat them with much more contempt than Hosni Mubarak.
True. Good analysis
However, the Brotherhood will take advantage of this; its like in Iran - the west pressured Shah of Iran to compromise and then the mullahs took advantage of this.
Really issue is western (secular) way of thinking doesn't work in ROP world.
According to today's Toronto Star, food accounts for 17% [on average, yours maybe 5% to 10% since you are probably earning more than average], where as in India its 47% on average. Also the high canadian dollar has shielded consumers so far in Canada
you can read in online on their website (the article)
We need the same events to take place in India.
The congress party is causing the same misery to millions of poor people [high unemployment, price of food, petrol etc], while favoring a selected constituency (vote bank politics)
