As-salamu 'alaikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh I think it is good that Saudi Arabia is making strides towards progress, mashaa Allah. I think it would best if people stopped viewing the world in just black and white. Are there problems in and with Saudi Arabia? Yes. However, let's not deny the good. At the end of they day, these advcandments were made by individuals who I assume are Muslim, so let's be glad for them at least. If you were a scientist and you made a scientific advancement, would you want your work to be met with a simple, "maashaa Allah", or a long discussion on how your country is evil due to various reasons, reasons which can be applied across the board since all countries are involved in something which is not in line with Islam.
