# Summary
Since june 29th, Islamic countries,all countries except Yemen, starts Ramadan period. Originally Ramadan starts when people can see a new moon on the sky. Ramadan is one of the most important duty for muslim, bans muslims for eating, drinking, and smoking. Historically, this religious duty has a meaning of Quran met prophet Mohammed.
# Persuasive
I think Muslims are the most religious among whole religious people. Ramadan is very sacred to muslims, but simutaneously harsh period for them, too. Personally I don't think there are any religious duty as hard as Ramadan. They can't eat, drink anything during sun is on the sky, even in summer daytime becomes longest in whole year. I highly respect muslims because they are enduring a pain against human's basic desire, leaning only on religious mind.

# Summary
Recently Saudi Arabia earns more money than before, as other supplying countries are in trouble. Iraq can't produce an oil at their best because of political issues such as Al-Qaeda. Also Libya is facing a political problem, only producing 10% of their maximum. Even situation goes to Saudi's way as other countries can't resolve their problem. Thanks to these phenomena, Saudi Arabia gains more profit than usual.
# Persuasive
I hope Iraq and Libya can resolve their problems as soon as possible. I'm very sensitive to oil price, because i have my own car working by diesel. Nowadays it changes drastically; drops about 40won/liter, vice versa. I don't want oil price keeps high in the future. They should resolve what they face right now, for not only their economy, also for their peace.

# Summary
Saudi Arabia has the most number of twitter users in Arab. It seems like Saudi government is using SNS as an easy way to communicate between citizens. More than half of Saudi twitter users try to access to government's page, expecting interactive communication. Because there's not much way people can interact with government, although people desire various way for it. Due to these factors, Saudi Arabia's twitter users are as twice as much as second most country in Arab world.
# Persuasive
I don't think this phenomenon is right. Because this proves that Saudi government doesn't make an enough effort to interact with people on offline. I can confidently say that interacting with people on online is not as effective as the same thing on offline. Usually People, including government officer who is in charge for responding on twitter, tend to be exaggerating things, showing bluff , hard to be honest with themselves. That's why i hate SNS, especially twitter, also proceeding a work on it.
