3. I don't see headphones on them - without a translation to listen to, I would imagine it
would be quite boring.

Perhaps they speak English better than you or I do.

25. almost every child outside of the US gets English as a foreign language
for at least 8 years.
It's not just to listen to us, it is the universal language. If a businessman from Korea is going to talk with a businessman in Argentina they will use English. They watch a lot of American movies to practice their hearing skills. Most Saudi Arabians who go to college will do it in English speaking countries. |

20. I am sure they speak it better than Trump does at any rate.
It's amazing how many people think that because this is an Islamic country that everyone in it is backward and uneducated.

14. of course they do.
Every upper class saoudi is educated, usually in the best british universities. This audience is not random people off the street, they are the rulling cast.

17. I doubt those with eyes closed are Saudi - but yes I agree, most upper-class Saudis have been
well educated in UK or US

28. Agreed
I have several Muslim friends who came to the US as adults and were fluent in English before coming here.
Because (I think) many Americans only speak English, many think foreigners only speak their native language. Of course, I may be wrong. I was wrong once before in my 70 years. |

27. Even among the "middle class", many went to college in the U.S.
I have not met a Saudi who couldn't speak English
