My publication, 'The Post,' has taken the initiative to translate many of my pieces and publish them in Arabic. For that, I am grateful. Arabs need to read in their own language so they can understand and discuss the various aspects and complications of democracy in the United States and the West.

When I speak of the fear, intimidation, arrests, and public shaming of intellectuals and religious leaders who dare to speak their minds, and then I tell you that I'm from Saudi Arabia, are you surprised?

Jamal Khashoggi

Repression and intimidation are not - and never should be - the acceptable companions of reform.

Jamal Khashoggi

We should not need to be reminded of the value of human life.

In the 1970s, the only places on the Arabian Peninsula where women were working outside the home or school were Kuwait and Bahrain.

I began to feel whatever narrow space I had in Saudi Arabia was getting narrower. I thought it would be better to get out and be safe.

Jamal Khashoggi

I always found it ironic when a Saudi official bashes Islamists, given that Saudi Arabia is the mother of all political Islam - and even describes itself as an Islamic state in its 'Higher Law.'

Jamal Khashoggi

It should be a known fact that the Arabs never had a problem with anti-Semitism, but we need to state that over and over again.

Jamal Khashoggi

The government of Dubai, as much as it is a government, it is a corporation.

Jamal Khashoggi

The core principle of Wahhabism is anti-diverse.

When Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen erupted in March 2015, there was widespread Saudi popular support for it - including by me.

In 2003 and again in 2010, I was fired from my job as editor-in-chief of a 'progressive' paper, Al-Watan. During the years in between, I served as media adviser to Prince Turki al-Faisal, the Saudi ambassador to Britain and then the United States.

Jamal Khashoggi

Saudi Arabia is the mother and father of political Islam.

Jamal Khashoggi

Saudi Arabia must return to fully supporting the Syrian revolution and to ally with the Turks.

Jamal Khashoggi

I strongly supported the war against Houthi rebels because I saw them as the antithesis of the Arab Spring that my government, unlike me, fiercely opposed.

Jamal Khashoggi

I often get attacked in Saudi Arabia, but the critics don't ridicule my ideas. There were about 30 or 40 articles attacking me in the Saudi press. Not a single one debated something I wrote. They just ridiculed me as a person. They see me as a traitor who is writing in the foreign press. But discuss what I am writing? They will not.

Jamal Khashoggi

Terrorism and the refugee crisis have changed the political mood in the West and brought the extreme right to prominence there.

Jamal Khashoggi

The death of Yemeni strongman Ali Abdullah Saleh shows that Saudi Arabia is paying for its betrayal of the Arab spring in Yemen in 2011.

Jamal Khashoggi

There can be no political reform and democracy in any Arab country without accepting that political Islam is a part of it.

Jamal Khashoggi

Will Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who likely will soon become king of his country, use his power to bring peace to the world around him?

Jamal Khashoggi

Writers like me, whose criticism is offered respectfully, seem to be considered more dangerous than the more strident Saudi opposition based in London.
