  considered as a slow impacting policy which will
  be argued by some academicians who will challenge
  its effectiveness.
• One of the biggest challenges in choosing a topic
  like counter terrorism is restriction in
  accessing data and refusal of concerned persons
  in answering the questions.
• This topic is of international importance and
  very sensitive in nature making it a very
  interesting as well as challenging topic.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USA AND SAUDIARABIAS THREAT

• There is a very contrasting difference between
  threat types and its level in USA and Saudi
  Arabia.
• USAS threat is basically from outside the border
  of country while in Saudi Arabia there is a very
  real possibility of threat originating from
  inside the borders.
• Terrorist groups will rarely found a sympathizing
  organization in USA but in Saudi Arabia there
  might be certain group of people who sympathizes
  with the terrorists cause thus creating an
  internal threat.

SOVEREIGNTY OF COUNTRIES

• USA and Saudi Arabia are both sovereign
  countries but they have different forms of
  authority over their geographical countries.
• USA has a more democratic establishment and their
  final authority is president of the country but
  congress of parliament governs president and his
  decisions as well
• In Saudi Arabia King of the country is the
  highest authority to take decision in such
  matter.
• Both the countries have different form of
  governments and different perception of
  sovereignty but on counter terrorism they have
  common goals in their mind.
• Sovereignty exclusion includes territorial
  integrity and a sovereign technically means the
  supreme decision making and in both countries
  structure of this authority is different which
  makes slight issues with compatibility.

CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN BOTH COUNTRIES

• USA and Saudi Arabia as a nation and community
  are very different from each other culturally.
• USAS culture and society is considered to be
  slightly open and liberal.
• Saudis culture and community is more
  conservative.
• This cultural difference occasionally creates
  obstacles in proper communication and cooperation
  between both countries.
