In fact, support for democracy corresponds with a number of other liberal attitudes that we found in Saudi Arabia. Supporters of democracy tend to be less religious, more secular, more tolerant of others, more critical of public-sector performance, and more concerned with Western cultural invasion.
在沙特这样一个缺乏现实和历史背景的国家，民主获得了大多数人的支持似乎有点违背常识。但事实上，支持民主与我们在沙特找到的其它几种自由观点非常吻合。民主支持者没有那么笃信宗教、更能够融入世俗，也更能够容忍他人。他们对公共部门的表现更为挑剔，对西方文化的入侵也给予了更多的关注。
