I am writing with regard to the article "Twitter abuzz with move to raze Corniche graffiti" (Apr. 17). Graffiti may start as an innocent and innocuous looking remark or a painting, but it is invariably a protest that gradually envelops the entire society and culture. It gradually eats away at our traditions and very subtly spreads in society. It has the potential to wipe out an entire civilization. Graffiti culture erupted in Western societies and prevention is better than a cure. The law of Saudi Arabia must prevail. An-Naeem Fikkargah, Online response
