hindu RSS indian have a very slow learning curve... they dont seem to understand
You couldn't be more wrong. They don't WISH to understand. Reason has nothing to do with it.
Gosh Joe, what happened, is this post from you? I can't believe it - it is the first post on this forum from you which I actually like.
But but, it's not just three, there has been many cases, and you were very angry in your post on how tiny UAE dare to challenge hindu stronk nation of India. Show them what you made of, throw out the arab janitors and servants working in palaces of RSS overlords. Tit for tat, Hindu India style!!
Employees got fired from job, not put on trial by UAE state. The employers have rules these guys violated it. You should crowd fund them so they can go to uae court? This will humiliate UAE state and further stoke anger in india. Win win situation for Rss.
Are you drunk or it’s just being yourself?
free speech lol, you have no idea what free speech is , uae is a Muslim country if you say anything against Muslims, you are saying against uae and rest of other Muslim countries
but looks like you do not have mind of your own , there is no point in arguing with a person like you
enjoy your days
UAE is a dessert region has grown in the shadow of Arab oil and Indian sweat.
When both of them disappear, they will be back to being a dessert kingdom eating lizards.
All I need to do is wait and enjoy the ride on the Ferris wheel of time. That is the Hindu India style. He who laughs last, laughs loudest
Oil is still pumping, yet Indians may disappear from GCC, replaced by other nationals of developing world, hence dispensable. What will definitely dry up is the huge remittance to India from GCC.
You can wait for your last laugh in your hindu india while your house crumbles around you. And when you do laugh, make sure you have got pre booking in mental asylum near you.
If oil was still pumping crude oil prices would not have be NEGATIVE.
If Indians were so easy to replace, GCC would have done it ages ago. Indians are valued in the gulf because they follow the rules and obey the law and show respect for foreign culture. The only other people who are civilized are similar are Filipinos.
How else can minority lazy arabs control majority expat workers without a revolution of expats taking over their kingdom ?
It is UAE that is heading for a RECESSION, not India. So I am pretty sure India will have the last laugh.
You lot were serving the arabs well till your parliamentarian start spewing non sense against their women and your immigrants start break local laws against hate crimes.
Also there is one big question mark, if there any plan to absord the big inflow of Indians kicked out from GCC? Yank overlords have blocked H1 visa indefinitely as well.
India not heading for recession? Is that what BJP/RSS WhatsApp feed is telling you?
I am talking about real crimes like theft, violence, vandalism etc.
Not made up crimes like "insult to 'sentiment' " .
Free speech is not "hate crime". Though cancelling visa and firing someone for their speech IS Hate Crime.
The victimizer cannot pretend to be the victim just by pretending fake righteousness. The world is smarter than that.
India is not heading for recession is what the IMF tells me.
Their land their rules, they dont tolerate hate crimes, you keep on spewing your hate , you will get done. Period.
Which IMF is telling you that third world India is not going into recession when world major powers are starring at recession?
Three more Indians in UAE face action over Islamophobic social media posts
List of hate-mongers fired for offensive remarks gets longer, despite warnings
Published: May 02, 2020 16:31Staff Report
UAE’s ‘10 million meals’ campaign gathers steam
Dubai: It seems that the warnings of the Indian mission have fallen on deaf ears as the list of Indian expats facing action over vile Islamophobic remarks on social media keeps getting longer.

Over the weekend, at least three more have been fired or suspended after their offensive posts were brought to the attention of employers by social media users.
The men now join nearly half a dozen hate-mongers who have similarly landed in trouble in recent weeks.
The latest addition to the growing list include Italian chef Rawat Rohit, storekeeper Sachin Kinnigoli and a cash custodian whose name has been withheld by his firm.

Gulf News is refraining from publishing the posts or going into the details of their offensive content.

A spokesperson for Azadea Group that operates Eataly, a chain of high-end Italian restaurants in Dubai, confirmed that Rawat Rohit who was employed with them as a chef has been suspended and is facing a disciplinary probe.
Sharjah-based Pneumics Automation have also said they suspended their storekeeper Sachin Kinnigoli until further notice.
“We have withheld his salary and told him not to come to work. The matter is under investigation. We have a zero tolerance policy. Anyone found guilty of insulting or showing contempt for someone’s religion will have to bear the consequences,” said the firm’s owner.
Similarly, Dubai-based Transguard Group said they have cracked down on an employee who had posted several anti-Islamic messages on his Facebook page under the name of Vishal Thakur.
“Following an internal investigation, the actual identify of this employee was verified and he was stripped of his security credentials, terminated from our employment and handed over to the relevant authorities as per company policy and UAE Cybercrime Law No. 5 of 2012. As of this statement, he is in the custody of Dubai Police,” a Transguard spokesperson said in a statement to Gulf News.
Transguard said their long-standing social media policy complies UAE’s stringent cybercrime regulations.
“It is enforced through regular monitoring, evaluation and, if necessary, disciplinary action, including fines, termination and deportation, as per federal law,” the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson also clarified that an individual reportedly posting hateful comments under the name of Prakash Kumar doesn’t work with them. “Twitter user Prakash Kumar” has falsely claimed that he works for Transguard. As mentioned multiple times, we have handed the matter to the authorities and since this individual is not a Transguard employee we have no further comment on the matter,” the spokesperson added.
Warnings fall on deaf ears
The new sackings and suspensions come days after both the former and current Indian Ambassadors to the UAE cautioned their countrymen about the UAE’s strict hate speech laws. Similar warnings were issued by missions in other GCC countries.

Of late, there has been an alarming increase in the number of highly offensive, Islamophobic posts by some Indians living in Gulf countries. Several of these people have lost their jobs while others have swiftly taken down their posts or deactivated their accounts after being called out by other social media users.
Many have tagged the employers of such people in their complaints, who in turn have taken swift punitive action.

The issue also gained prominence after some GCC citizens on Twitter entered the debate, and raised their voice against the spread of bigotry online.
Much of the vitriol can be traced to an atmosphere of blind hate against Muslims who have been blamed for the spread of COVID-19 in India.
Strict laws
The UAE outlaws all religious or racial discrimination under a legislation passed in 2015.
The anti-discrimination/anti-hatred law prohibits all acts “that stoke religious hatred and/or which insult religion through any form of expression, be it speech or the written word, books, pamphlets or via online media.”
The legislation mainly aims to fight “discrimination against individuals or groups based on religion, caste, doctrine, race, color or ethnic origin.”
