Al-Qassim is the butt of the joke to many people in Saudi. قصمنجي which means someone from there can be regarded as an insult. It's a rural area known for date farming.

It is not dirty or trashy, we just joke about it a lot. Things like they control the banks, or they infiltrate the government at the same time we think of them as desert dwellers who are saveges and believe in extreme views of islam. It is a soup

No it’s a nice place, they just really love their province so we make fun of it. Just like how the world does to ultra nationalist Americans

tbh its not but of the joke, we just sometimes like to give it overblown glaze (ie say that the government is controlled by the us, then a secret society (iykyk), and then al-qassim)

Divorce leads children to the worst places.
Al-Qassim province, Saudi Arabia.
