Reading that article, it doesn't claim that the kind is generally disliked
by a large part of the population... the closest it comes is that 'it is
thought this resentment may have been behind the recent car bombs that
targeted Westerners in Riyadh.' - as we know it only takes a few to bomb
something....  but it's a well balanced overview.  Actually, during the
recent WTC event, I felt the BBC coverage was superior in many ways to the
US network's.
