Al Saud

Saudi Arabia is popularly known as a hard-line state. But, the ruling Al Saud family wants to change the image of the country. So, the West Asian nation has decided to return to the 'moderate' stand, as far as the concept of Islam is concerned. The ruling family is ready to change not only the social sectors, but also the national economy.

Prince Majed bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, aged 29, is accused of having sexual relations with a male aide, taking cocaine and threatening to kill women who refused his sexual advances as well as forcing himself on a maid. The prince is the son of the late King Abdullah who used his royal status to force others to have sex with him.
