How do Arabs perceive Pakistan and Pakistanis

I really don't understand why Pakistanis have this great love affection towards the Arabs of today. The only nation that has an equal amount of respect towards Pakistan are Turks and they are not Arab. Pakistan cannot hold onto this false hope of brotherhood towards the Gulf Arab states especially the UAE who is more closer to the Indians .
That's why i said there is a difference between the govt and people..I'm talking about people..and even a lot of people are good in the govt too.. but yeah Pakistanis get the most love from Turks and Chinese...our love for Arabs is mainly due to the religious reasons...because of the language of Quran and the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions, Makkah and Madina.. so that's the origin of Muhammadan Islam and we love that origin :)

Like it or not we both have helped each other in the past..Millions of Pakistani in GCC are not here for free...They were allowed to come due to special relations and even more than in numbers compared to other Arab nations..Indians are also here but that was also our mistake as we didn't assert this in past.
Now due to changing geo-politics scenario we need to play better we need to negotiate hard this is very simple..Nothing is free...
We are worst in negotiations and making deals

You'd be surprised how many Pakistanis there are across Europe. I've met Pakistanis from Denmark Norway many many from Spain & Italy, Portugual Holland Sweeden Greece Germany Ukrain. They have all come and settled in UK. Now UK has a huge Pak community approx 1.5 million.

They only make up a minority bro. The vast majority came through the traditional Commonwealth work visa during the 50's and 60's, and of course through the military service via.
I've only come across a handful of Pakistanis who settled in European states then came here. Most of the folks who settled in Europe stayed e.g. Norway.

That's why I clearly stated why Pakistanis have such an emotional attachment towards Arabs of today. The Arabs of today can NEVER be compared to the beloved Sahaba RA and holy household RA of the noble Prophet PBUH

Luckily for me I've met many Pakistanis from EU nations and I'm certainly not Making it up.

Becuase Pakistan has no experience in foreign affairs, currently Pakistans only concentration is to build roads and motorways.

I don't think so. There are 100k Pakistanis living in Italy and over 60k of them are currently living in Germany. :)

The vast majority of Italian Pakistanis Ive come across originate from northern Punjab Gujurat and the villages around Lalamusa.

No you missed my point. I didn't there are not any living in Europe, but said of those who have lived in Europe then migrated to the UK.

Back to the topic. The term Arab is huge and many nations and people are included within in it. From my own knowledge and experiences I've found Syrians, Jordanians, Yemeni, Palestinians, Saudis, North Africans (Tunisians, Algerians, Moroccans) and Sudanese to be lovely and pleasant.

That's true.. but I would like to add that their preferences have also been changed lately. It is just human nature. Money and business playing far bigger role than religion or brotherhood.

The best thing for Pakistan is to develop itself and become a rich country so that none of Pakistanis has to go there for any work... Just go for hajj and umra and that's it. Pakistan has everything; deserts, mountains, plains, plateaus, glaciers, prairies, perennial rivers, canal, mineral and the most importantly human resource.. so let's focus on developing our country

I'm sure one day all Muslims will be united under the command of Imam Mehdi, and Arab and non-Arabs difference will vanish but until then we have to put up with these implanted rulers and kings, just use diplomacy to get as much leverage as you can but it won't go too far because their masters will pull their strings. Basically as a Muslim all countries are ours and all are brothers and sisters from Indonesia to Morocco and all the countries in between.

Future is bright for Pakistan...and at a later stage for all the Muslims.

That's why I clearly stated why Pakistanis have such an emotional attachment towards Arabs of today. The Arabs of today can NEVER be compared to the beloved Sahaba RA and holy household RA of the noble Prophet PBUH
Oh my dear bro nobody can possibly be compared with the companions of the holy Prophet (ﷺ). But still Makkah and Madina are in Arab, the beautiful Hejaz... so we love even those particles that touched the shoes of our prophet (ﷺ). But honestly even within Pakistan we see huge difference between the people..our "elite" aka badmashiya is closer to west and they toe their policies.. so that is true for Arab countries too..

There's also a significant Pakistani community in Germany too. The ironic thing is that out of all the countries in Western Europe, Pakistanis get along the most with Germans. Conversely, Pakistanis are probably the only Muslim community that Germans have a good people to people relations with. The Germans generally don't get along with Arabs and Turks for some reason.

The majority of Pakistanis in Germany are Ahmadis (Around 60-70% of Pakistanis in Germany). We like to keep good relations with the host country. Plus we have a large number of Ethnic German converts who are involved in Media, public relations, charity etc, and don't close ourselves in ghettos.

My dear brothers, I was born in Saudi Arabia and I will be honest with you all. Most of the Saudis only see Pakistanis as slaves and nothing else. They think of themselves as superior because of the Saudization policy.

Majority of the Pakistanis living in this country are being treated worse than animals
Not true... I have some Pakistanis and they are engineers and doctors, university teachers and they are all happy there.
