Going ‘miskeen’ in Saudi Arabia

[tarrar]

All Arabs are racist & hence they cannot be called Pakistan's friend at all. They only care for themselves.

but are we not?

this is utter BS for me how the hell all?????????????

 

[Windjammer]

You can't generalise all Saudis as racists towards foreigners. Here a young brat (Prince) protected by his body guards feels tough on his own kind.

Thank you for clarifying the Term. I wish Pakistan had made Arabic a Mandatory language to learn in our Schools along with English so we would not have had such misunderstandings.

Back to topic, I spent 6 months on a Consulting assignment in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 2008. Sure I travelled there on the US passport but everyone knew I was a Pakistani because of my name and because I told them I was originally from Pakistan. I was treated with utmost respect and my Saudi friends were very hospitable. Saudis treat people based on their character and personality and how they conduct themselves. Many Pakistanis in Saudi Arabia are not very well educated. Most taxi drivers in Jeddah were Pakistanis but there is a minority of Pakistani doctors, engineers, IT professionals, Airline Pilots and Accountants who are treated quite well. Most Houseboys and janitors in Jeddah are Bangladeshis. Indians hold higher positions as accountants and Engineers, also.

I found that Bin Ladin family ( Corpoaration) had many Hindu Employees from Gujarat.

Saudis are a proud Nation and certainly have a rich history to be proud of. I found most Saudis in Jeddah to be quite respectable and honourable people. The kind of people I would invite to my home and call them friends.

I think pakistanis on this Forum are being hypocritical. A Saudi citizen treats Pakistani taxi driver probably a lot better than some Pakistanis would treat poor people in Pakistan. If you have any doubts, please go to the rural Pakistan and see how the Chaudharies and Vaderas treat common Pakistani. You will find the Vadera sitting on a sofa or a high chair and the poor peasants are made to sit on the ground. Please learn to respect your own people before you go around criticizing others how they treat some poor Pakistanis. I wish we can love our fellow citizens as well as the Saudis love theirs. If we did we would do more for our masses and make Education free for the poor ( our Miskeen Pakistani brothers and Sisters ).

To Kick a$$ in any Arab country follow the following rules.

1) Never use Arabic or Hindi. Always English. Dont give a fck whether they understand or not. Ask them to bring a interpreter and they will do. Trust me.
2) Look down at them. They will never look up at you. Thats how westerner get respect.
3) Always brag about how much money you make and how you can make any arab richer.
4) Talk about blonde girl friends. heheheh.. you wont believe the reaction.
5) Show your education and your position back home. They know that there are rich people who live in sub continent and they are very rich. They like rich people and educated fellows.
6) Always tell them that you dont like Arab countries much and job is the last thing you seek there. Not much pay and you can make far better back home. lablablaa....

Brother in need is a bother indeed.

BLACKEAGLE buddy, you're an exception, and not the norm. I've seen and met many of your kind, and it's always a pleasure. However, I'm sorry to say that most of your kind has lost it's way. Think about it like this: God had to send a lions-share of Prophets to fix your people (hundred thousand) and rest of humanity got fixed with just a couple hundred. Now tell me this, if God couldn't fix you in two millennia, what chances does the rest of the world have to show your people the righteous path?
Think about what the Almighty thinks about your kind at the moment, and what would he like to be done to you? No pun intended, think and ponder over it.

I bet I could make you cry too !

Pehalvani Round 1 !

LMAO - Not a chance

By the way where the hell are the trolls - Is it their day off?

This is not TRUE!!! I will never agree with this lie, Arabs racists are the exception.

 

[mdcp]

Good and bad people in every society
But
Generally, arabs dont treat our(indians, pakistanis, bangalis etc) people nicely
1. Some of Our own people are antiques, silly and some time like jokers
Other
2. Arabs consider themselves superior and powerful as they lack moral values,good education and family setup
Most of their parents life is spent on marrying and counting children how u can expect them to give their children proper values, i doubt even they can remember their names, may be can mark or put numbers from 1-50 or even more

I would prefer to stay hungry in pakistan rather than working in any arab country

Hello ! One might also argue that God choose 'his People' to be the ones to receive his Last Message too ! Maybe he saw in them what you couldn't ! And by the way where did you get the '100,000' figure from ? And even ifs true maybe it, in a way, validates the Jewish notion of them being 'God's chosen People'...except that one could replace the word 'Jew' with 'Arab' ! Though in all honesty this whole argument is ludicrous !

LMAO - Not a chance

Haaah ! Don't bet on it my friend...!

 

[Hyperion]

Really? I have seen my extended family members / tribal comrades / countrymen / being slaughtered due to your twisted version of religion and the insurgencies sponsored by your "exception". We've paid a price for it with our blood. It's payback time. Rest is collateral damage as far as we are concerned!

LOL - It wasn't the "Message" per-se, it was message over message over message over message. Now what does that signify? It shows that: You ****, mend your ways.

By the way, I don't know what has an edge. Martial arts vs noora kushti? Kidding!

Slaughtered by whom ? Arabs...? Or Pakistanis...? If I'm stupid enough to strap a bomb to my body and blow up a military picket thinking that its Jihad and the Government of Pakistan couldn't stop the indoctrination to begin with, is it our fault ? Or someone else's ? Besides the Saudi version of Islam in Pakistan is called 'Ahl-e-Sunnat wal jammat'....the Talibunnies, the AQ guys and our very own OBL holidaying in Abbottabad were 'Deobandi' for the first and 'Qutubi' for the other two ! So why blame the poor Wahabi when he didn't even influence them ?
