I don't understand some of the posters here... yet they defend their country and they say we don't...
anyways, i'm not here to pass judgements...
i've been born and living in this country for almost 22 years... i've never seen a local or an arab working as a labour...
we will not be talking about USA or what ever... coz we're living and talking about UAE!
by the way, i don't have any kind of personal grudge against arab nations, believe me if i had, i'd beat the crap out of every last one of them, but that's not what a muslim should do... yes i'm strict in religious matters... i'm always happy that i have the privilege to live in such a beautiful country... that's coz our prophet was from an arab nation, and besides... one of our prophet's message was... he prohibit fighting with everyone unless it was a war. he also said everyone is equal before ALLAH.
the other day, i went to the mosque to pray... i stood with an arab old man... so when the imaam finished iqamah, he says to join your feet and stand peoperly. that old man moved his foot away from mine... i tried twice, he seemed repeated. I left him the way he was. altough, on the friday prayer, the imaam read "everyone is equal in the prayer house and before ALLAH." i'm sure that man was present in the mosque. but still...
i know racism is ever where, but im talking about the present where im living. this country once was not like this.
and it is not only me... you can answer to my questions by saying "why not leav?" but what are you gonna do when several more people ask you this?
bushra says, she deals with racism here... sorry, no offence... but its what you do, what you get!
the person who you find racist, maybe some arab did something similar to him, so he's avenging... bcoz you're an arab. but what that person did was absolutely wrong. i admit, racism is 100% wrong. weather it's done by an expat or a local, it'll stay wrong.
i found one of the poster saying something like... "what you said to the arab nation is itself racism, now what does that make you?"
I already apologized for such inconvinient words. Im sorry, i took it that way. I support UAE as much as i support my home country. I like the arab language, dress and their tradition... but almost every sub continental expats find arabs to be racist. WHY? bcoz of their image. they spoilt their image doing racism. this goes for every country found with such racism issues.
by the way, thanx for sharing your point of views. it feels alive to read your postings.
