Default Protest in the entire Islamic World but not in saudia ?

The entire Islamic world has shown a strong reaction against the dis-respect of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) but i have not seen any reaction/protest in Saudia which is the most scared place for Muslims and is the birth place of the Prophet of Allaha.

What do you think of this silence from the part of Saudi people and Government ?

The Saudi government doesn't allow protests as far as I know. Laws in this regard are pretty harsh.

Is there any law having status higher than the respect of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH?

Newspaper editors are cherry-picked by the Saudi government. And TV channels are heavily censored. One big reason is that the media didn't run the news.

Are you angry that they didn't loot and plunder like we Pakistanis did?

They're not, but like in Pakistan, to do a protest you need to inform a larger audience; that needs TV and newspaper.

Also, Saudi kings lean towards America. America knew that if Saudi was on their side, they won't need to worry about anything. America probably made sure that Saudi censored this news and forced its people to stay in their homes, by whatever means necessary.

Also, we don't know how hard was Saudi's internet censorship in this matter. It already has a very advanced blocking system in place. Plus Youtube has blocked that video in Saudi.

There is another aspect as well, political environment of Saudi is not like others, there are no political parties and political groups like in other Muslim countries and also religious leadership coordinates well with the Royalty. Even in other countries of the middle east, like Egypt, Libya etc mass scale protests were not observed before Arab spring when dictatorial rules were in place, this is all mess of democracy .

Running a country on lies? Suppressing truth? Forbidding criticism? There's actually a word for this, it's called TOTALITARIANISM. And every inch of Saudi Kingdom is totalitarian.

If President Zardari could control all media, and it could promote false praise and forbid all criticism, would that make him a great president?

Democracy entails freedom to information, freedom of expression, freedom to criticize. These things you will never find in Saudi. No TV channel or newspaper of Saudi is allowed to criticize the royal family. Everything to be aired must be given green light by the kingdom.

[A side note: Some Islamic scholars praise Saudi because of their low rape rate. Actually, rape is almost never reported in Saudi. They don't even record these instances to keep up their false venerate image]

You are right, that in the time of Mubarak this blasphemy would not have caused any protest. Because such a news would not have been allowed. Simple. Today they have nascent democracy, which entitles them to freedom of expression. Protests in Egypt started after that Salafist show aired a clip from that blasphemous movie. Something Mubarak would never have allowed.

It's up to you what you want, a bondage of ignorance, or a freedom however hard it maybe.
