    Extractions: Facts and Statistics Location: Middle East, bordering the Persian Gulf, between Iraq and Saudi Arabia Capital: Kuwait City Population: 2,257,549 including 1,291,354 non-nationals (July 2004 est.) Ethnic Make-up: Kuwaiti 45%, other Arab 35%, South Asian 9%, Iranian 4%, other 7% Religions: Muslim 85% (Sunni 70%, Shi'a 30%), Christian, Hindu, Parsi, and other 15% Arabic is spoken by almost 200 million people in more than 22 countries. It is the language of the Qur'an, the Holy Book of Islam, and of Arab poetry and literature. While spoken Arabic varies from country to country, classical Arabic has remained unchanged for centuries. In Kuwait, there are differences between the dialects spoken in urban areas and those spoken in rural areas. Islam Islam is practised by the majority of Kuwaitis and governs their personal, political, economic and legal lives. Islam emanated from what is today Saudi Arabia. The Prophet Muhammad is seen as the last of God’s emissaries (following in the footsteps of Jesus, Moses, Abraham, etc) to bring revelation to mankind. He was distinguished with bringing a message for the whole of mankind, rather than just to a certain peoples. As Moses brought the Torah and Jesus the Bible, Muhammad brought the last book, the Quran. The Quran and the actions of the Prophet (the Sunnah) are used as the basis for all guidance in the religion.

The group originally had a panel of moderators who oversaw all postings. Over time these moderators burned out or moved on to other things, and within a few years the group was lying idle. In April 2002 control of the group was passed to Brian Edmonds, who is running the group and a companion, gated mailing list under full robomoderation. Since its creation a number of control messages have been sent which at some sites appear to have erroneously changed the status of the group to unmoderated. If this is the case at your site, you should bring it to the attention of your news admin, as any postings you make to a moderated group which is not properly recognized as such at your site will be silently discarded at any site where the group is correctly carried as moderated. Soc.culture.kuwait.moderated will provide a forum in which to discuss Kuwaiti culture, society, economics, politics, and so forth. Threads may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

    Extractions: Cultural Values Cultural Values . Kuwaitis tend to have strong attachments to their families. A house is designed to show little to the outside world, and often has a nearby structure, called a diwaniyya, for receiving guests. Kuwaiti families are usually quite large, and many different families are interconnected and related to one another through ancestry and marriage Diet Kuwaiti food is primarily based on the staple product of rice. However, there are a large number of different ways to prepare the rice, and each family has their own way of making one of the several traditional meals. One of the most common, and most Kuwaiti, of these rice dishes is machbous, which is saffron rice topped with either chicken or lamb, served with a tomato paste sauce. Fuul, falafel and humus are the three staples food. Fuul is a paste made from fava beans, garlic and lemon, usually served with oil.

    http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/berkowitz200403030936.asp
    
    Extractions: In fact, the legal liabilities and social discrimination to which women in Kuwait are subject reach beyond political rights. According to Freedom in the World 2003 , Freedom House's annual worldwide survey of political rights and civil liberties, Kuwaiti women "are legally disadvantaged in matters of marriage, divorce, and inheritance, must have the permission of a male relative to obtain a passport; and cannot confer citizenship on their children." In addition, and though the proportion is growing, women remain under-represented in the labor force. Yet, on a recent trip, I discovered that the picture is not nearly so bleak as a cold recitation of Kuwait's failings might suggest. Indeed, Kuwaiti liberals told me that they are optimistic that time and momentum is on the side of women's suffrage. Although, as American newspapers gloomily reported, the liberals lost seats to the Islamists in last July's parliamentary elections, forces sympathetic to the government retained a majority (which the newspapers failed to mention) in Kuwait's 50-seat parliament. Though lethargic in recent years, the government's backing of women's rights is an important reason that liberals in Kuwait remain hopeful that the national assembly will pass legislation granting women political rights sooner rather than later, perhaps even before the next election scheduled for 2007.

    Extractions: Young people in Kuwait constitute both the highest concentration of Internet users (estimated to be approximately 63% of all Internet users in Kuwait)and the largest sector of Kuwaiti society. Moreover, as argued in this article, young people's Internet practices are likely to stimulate the most significant changes in Kuwaiti society. This article scrutinizes a handful of descriptions by young Kuwaiti of the importance and implication of the Internet in their lives. This article is divided into two sections. The first reviews several unpublished studies of the development and impact of the Internet among Kuwait University students, and balances these analyses against my own field research from 1996 through 1998 in Kuwait. The second section examines these findings in light of six in-depth interviews conducted with Kuwaiti students who are active Internet users.
