Modeer....I think you may have misunderstood my comment. I was only making a joke regarding the annual camel races that are usually attended by the King and much of the Saudi Royal family. In no way was I attempting to belittle any part of the Royal family or any other individual living in or around the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
