Ghaith Abdul-Ahad writes about the plight of South Asian migrant workers toiling under slave-labour conditions in the building boom in Dubai. As you would expect, Ahad writes sympathetically about their appalling working and living conditions and goes into depressing detail of their perdition.
Then he writes about having dinner at the home of an Arab aquaintance:
One evening in Abu Dhabi, I have dinner with my friend Ali, a charming Iraqi engineer whom I have known for two decades. After the meal, as his wife serves saffron-flavoured tea, he pushes back his chair and lights a cigar. We talk about stock markets, investment and the Middle East, and then the issue of race comes up.
“We will never use the new metro if it’s not segregated,” he tells me, referring to the state-of-the-art underground system being built in neighbouring Dubai. “We will never sit next to Indians and Pakistanis with their smell,” his wife explains.
Not for the first time, I am told that while the immigrant workers are living in appalling conditions, they would be even worse off back home – as if poverty in one place can justify exploitation in the other.
“We need slaves,” my friend says. “We need slaves to build monuments. Look who built the pyramids – they were slaves.”
It would be a mistake to think that Ali’s casual racism towards Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis is unique or particular to one person in Dubai; if anything racism against South and South East Asians is not only widespread across the Middle East, it is institutionalised.

Majority of the population in UAE are South Asians (I believe 70%) and if the want they could revolt, overthrow the government and take over the country.
You do realise that bringing up the matter of Arab racism against Pakistanis and Indians makes you the racist in the eyes of the MPAC and MCB British Muslims of Indian and Pakistani origin.
Such is the level of their self-hatred and self-deceit.
Adverts for a certain mobile phone company based in Saudi Arabia are centred around the premise that Arab music is for Arabs. In two such adverts, South Asians are seen being disapproved of by the men in disha dashas as the former launch into renditions of local Saudi hits. In one advert, it is a cleaner in a lift who is the guilty party, in another it is a barber. Incredibly, the adverts end with the slogan “Arab music for Arab people.”
The racism is not only aimed at South Asians, however. Another persistent target of racist “comedy” across the Peninsula are the Sudanese, who are Black and are invariably depicted as lazy, foolish savages.
A Kuwaiti TV series, showing the odd and bizarre things other peoples do, invariably adds a soundtrack of tribal drumming or banjo playing to any segment dedicated to the habits of Black Africans. KKK where are you?
These Arabs have a lot of gall complaining about “”Israeli Apartheid”" when they are the true inheritors of the Racist Mantle of South African Apartheid. If you are an Indian, Pakistani or an African in an Arab Country, you will know what I mean. No Arab in Israel has to undergo that kind of Racism!!!!
The psychological mangling wrought by the Arab imperialistic ideology of Islam in full effect.
dude,the indians who migrate to the middle east are poor and illiterate,but some of them really do occupy high ranks in corporates! the sort of development that happened there cudnt have been possible if not for the influx from south asia! india earns 15 bn$ annually through these indians.
racism stems out of pure jealousy or envy,i am an indian and i am proud i belong to one of the greatest civilizations of the world! what do the arabs have? a history of date eating bedouins? wherever they have gone,they have planted violence and ignorance! look at iran for example,it was such a culturally distinct place until these guys came in.
Now John to call iranians arabs, that’s not nice.
But you have to keep in mind, that both the ottoman dynasties and the different arab dynasties
before basically was build on slaves and slave labour.
Thats’ the basic arab ( and iranian) experience with other ethnic groups,and they were forced to give up slavery . That they ( ex. Egypt) for long periods was governed by former slaves isn’t something they talk a lot of. – Because slaves didn’t just work, they also fought arab and the ottoman wars.
There really is no RACISM against Indians on the behalf of the Emiratis. That’s a wrong and inaccurate term to employ. Political ties between the UAE government and the Indian government are excellent in all sectors : Diplomatic,Military,Economic and Cultural. Emirati culture closely resembles aspects of Indian culture, and Emiratis can be seen packing Indian restaurants and watching Indian movies. There is also inter marriage between the two ethnic groups.
Now onto the more important point. Indians in Dubai are not simply construction workers. You are perpetrating a lie by saying that, and it’s blatantly false. Indian expatriates in Dubai go from being the wealthiest , most influential and most powerful citizens in the region all the way down to being these workers at the bottom of the social ladder. Some examples are Sunny Varkey, B.R Shetty, Ram Buxani, Micky Jagtiani and many others. The UAE press recognizes them extensively and puts them on the covers of magazines like Arabian Business, and gives them extensive television time. These men interact with the Emirati community and are greatly respected. There is an Indian upper-middle class, middle class, lower middle class and the vast lower class. The real word you need, and should add to your lexicon if you want to continue writing, is classism. Dubai has a rigid social hierarchy and the men on the bottom, laborers in this example, do not have rights implemented in their favor. But the Indian government is working with the UAE government to enhance their quality of living. They have succeeded in increasing minimum wage, passing laws that have allowed them to form unions and have shipped many back home. So please, get your facts right next time and to not give Dubai, the UAE and it’s people negative names.
As a South Asian, I know all too well how racist Arabs are. Arabs have a built-in superiority complex about themselves. White-skinned Europeans and Americans, as well as Arabs from elite countries in the Middle East, are preferred in terms of employment and good treatment, in general. But let us never forget that Arab racism is also directed against the Berbers, Kurds, Persians, and others. I remember having a fond conversion with a gentleman from Morroco, who just happened to be a Berber. He told me of the discrimination leveled against the Berbers in that country.
It is interesting that Iraqi made such statements, subhanallah look at them today. Iraqi men are beggars and in worse condition than most of the people from Sub Continent. Their women who were too clean to sit next to a Indian or a Pakistani were raped and their honor shattered by invading armies and sectarian conflicts. In many cases they were sold into sexual slavery of their fellow arabs in Syria and Middle East. Allah wanted to set an example of how the presence of a Prophet can transform the most savage of the people into decent human beings and that is why Prophet (pbuh) was sent to Arabs. As soon as he was gone and last of his followers died, what is left is ARAB FILTH .
According to the logic of Mr Ali above, Arabs of the Gulf countries can’t be bad, because God doesn’t seem to punish them in any way, but to the contrary! Dubai, Kuwait, Saudi,..etc happen to be the wealthest people on earth (so much for God’s swift justice).
I’ve been to many non Arab countries & I’ve seen how many Indians can be very racist towards Arabs. I’m pretty sure if you were born as an Arab & then you find some racism from Indians (like I did), you would be ranting about how “filthy Indians” are being punished by God through the Tsunamis & floodings that hit India every now & then!
In a nutshell:
When something bad happens to someone bad >> Subhanallah! It’s God’s punishment.
When something good happens to someone good >> Mashallah! It’s God’s reward.
When something bad happens to someone good >> Patience brother, God is testing him!
When something good happens to someone bad >> Don’t worry, It’s God’s plan!!

Lastly, the so called “Iraqi” women who work in brothels happen to be gypsies, a people who came originally from INDIA. I’m sorry to inform you, but those are gypsies who speak Arabic, but are not ethnically Arabs!
Uh, no Mr Iraqi above, the women working in brothels are ethnically Arab, since it’s a very large section of Iraqi women. And gypsies don’t all come from India anyway, they were a diverse group with diverse origins which is why many are in far away lands like Europe & Middle East.
There is no comparison between Indian & Arab racism. Anyone who has experienced Arab racism & Indian racism will tell you that Arabs are far more likely to be dangerous and violent. They are far more troublesome and the level of racism far greater than any Indian culture. That is simply a FACT.
Arab racism more or less takes the form of sheer enslavement. Which is how they spread their culture so far and wide (and so aggressively) in the first place.
And yes after meeting actual Iraqi’s it is very difficult to remain sympathetic to their cause (what with the war going on) considering how they treat “outsiders”.
The denial of mr. Aditiya and others that racism in the MiddleEast including UAE despite any diplomatic/political ties, is a horrible denial of fact. Having spoken to quite a few european (ethnically caucasians) who visited Dubai and though impressed with the luxery etc, they could not help but notice how Arabs mistreat and are racist towards the South Asians. Perhaps these tourists/visitors/expats are also part of some elaborate scheme to tarnish the repute of UAE/Arabs?
Human Rights coverage on the topic is readily available too. The longterm sexual exploitation/rape of Asian maids/staff for instance Philippinos is a fact. A Pakistani girl was deported when she reported being raped by Saudi Arabs in Saudi Arabia and raped a second time at the police station before deportation. The stories are many.
Even Mona Eltahawy, a Egyptian, has spoken of witnessing blatant racism against the dark skinned by Egyptians in public. Libyan abusing and more the Sudanese fugitives is another example. Of today right now.
South East Asians enjoy no equal rights in UAE. They are unskilled labour who treated as second rate citizens. Most don’t hail from an educated background such as Mr. Aditiya and can therefore not afford to be political correct or enjoy the freedoms available to Arab citizens. They come to work and support their families back home. The skyline construction in the UAE, especially Dubai employ these people. They have no security, no insurance or safety. When they fall to their death, they are substituted by another needy worker. No respect for their lives. They are just work mules.
Arab Racism against the dark skinned is rampant and even takes place in the new countries that some Arabs migrate to where the import the racist mentality. Arabs do look down on people with dark skin, black or brown. The arab language has derogatory and racial slurs/words reserved for those of colour. Hardly news for those are the recieving end of it.
For pete sakes, what will it take to exit this misguided political correctness and diplomacy and admit reality as it is?
i’m angry not on the few things with racism, i’m quite angry for the fact how majority of the arabs would take any bad circumstance to be god’s punishment. its quite ignorant. honestly i can only pity you fucks. dubai is a beautiful place, but to see these so called brown skinned people treated like shit, while they are quite responsible for building up much of the stuff.. wow.. u guys are insane. slaves? wheres the other half of ur fucken brains??
Arabs period are scum of the earth. They will get everything on this world wealth raping and enslaving other innocent and even poorest of mankind. After Allah sent them final messenger as they are and still the scum of the earth he gave them oil etc to test if they will become like actual decent human beings but no these fake so called tested Myslums fail the test of Allah swt and These ugly jealous so called clean fake Muslims are the real Devils Fools. Arabs are lowest inferior devil poo poo and will Undoubtedly BYrn in Flames if hell. They get Allahs wrath Lanat. They ate a Lanat shayateeni bunch of inferior Arab scum. Do you think I will ever forgive them for mistreating women poor gypsies or south Asians. They have to discriminate rape and harass others so their lowly selves feel like something. They actually follow Shaitan. They are losers. Yeah oil wealth whatever in this life but forever In Hell these creepiest will go hell is forever and not one 80 to 100 years like this life. Ha ga they will burn with kill nazis their Jahiil forefathers. After Allah gave them all this this is how they dare think and treat other Muslims or nonmuslims. Obviously they are sickos who EAsily earn Allahs wrath NOt being any God nor Good people. Only in their inferior sicko animal Iraqi brain they are ok or good. Wow they are crap!!!! Ha ha. Can’t wait for day of resurrection. Iraqi will burn forever. Sorry your Satan will and your Arab ways then will not save you. And no when you hurt others mankind. And they do not forgive then no dear idiot not even Hajj afterwards does not grant this forgiveness. Ameen

I am a extremely well highest ranking Maulvi in the Islamic world. My family is decendents and we are most educated since beginning of Islam
WTF..very funny article…i think..it’s vice versa..we Indians need to segregate with this terrorist/savage Arabs..i am Sindhi,belongs to one of the Wealthy ethnicity of East Indian.and we can even bought this tiny city with our money if we had too..I believe this Savage Arab..just need a lesson from us as Indian..we can even conquer this very new country with our thousand year old nation.oh i forgot..do they have nukes for defence? i mean..i so pity them..”small brains with money is a bad deal” isn’t?
Honestly, it’s nothing to do with race. It’s the color of the skin. It’s quite shameful but true. Indians treat their black people badly as Dalits. The darker Indians are generally viewed as poorer and dirty etc by the lighter skinned Indians who usually have few problems waltzing through Arab states. And in Arabia a pork eating Caucasian is preferred to a Black skinned Muslim of any origin. Like it or not – it’s a cheap mentality and will not change in the foreseeable future.
It’s the same with Pakistanis and Bangladeshis. The reason why the Pakistani army thought they were justified to kill thousands of Bangladeshis and rape thousands of women and girls was because they were dark skinned. It is the same reason why people continue to deny the genocide today.
There are many self hating South Asians in the Gulf; . No matter how much discrimination they face, they will indirectly claim that they deserve it. Marriage between the 2 ethnic groups? It is all one sided, where Indians from one particular region literally sell their daughters to Gulf Arab men aged 40+. There is nothing wrong in ethnic groups not mixing; what is wrong is when one group believes blindly it is superior.
As far as Levantine Arabs and Iraqis are concerned, in the Gulf, they behave the worst. Palestinians/Syrians have horrid conditions in their country, but they have the gall to boast about how they are “rich”. A Syrian claimed “Syrians never drive Toyotas, we are not poor as Indians”. The ignorance in that one line shows many of their mindsets.
It was only when I left the Gulf and went to countries like Malaysia, USA, UK that I noticed the difference in behavior. Around 50% of the times, the airport officials in the Gulf refuse to even properly reply to my greeting, whereas in other countries, they have the decency to do that.
In the Gulf, people will treat you ok, but you have to constantly bow your heads, figuratively. Like always let them ahead of you, never argue, even if if they hit your car, you have to claim it was your fault and so on. When they snap fingers and call you, dont react and ask “why are you being rude” . Be submissive, and they will treat you decently.
One important aspect of Arab/Gulf culture is that everything is seen in terms of “relative superiority” i.e. people get to know your tribe/country and then treat you based on that. A “superior” person talking nicely with a poor Indian is a sign of weakness.
3 Arabs beat a pregnant couple unconscious for not vacating their cafe seats, they were not given any significant punishment. An Arab kicked a Kenyan girl to death and got 4 years, 4 Arabs rape a women and get 3 months, etc etc.
Are South Asians racist? hell yes, but the difference is there are plenty of other Asians pointing it out and accepting it. Good luck trying to find many Khaleejis willing to accept their racist attitudes.
Even Robert Fisk is appalled by the extent of the “appalling racism” of Arabs:
http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-arab-spring-has-washed-the-regions-appalling-racism-out-of-the-news-7718707.html
The Umma is colour blind (or should be).
Lol, after you come to OUR countries and get paid by OUR money you back stab us. You know we don’t shit money we earn it through our hard work, HUH Oil money goes in the government’s pockets however we Arab citizens work our ass off to build companies and businesses. To be honest here, Americans who work in Dubai and such places never earn that lofty wages in their countries, and Indians never get a better opportunity to succeed than in Arab countries. This attitude of yours is the true meaning of racism. When Arabs open their houses for you you trash talk about them, I guess you deserve to be treated like savages.
“I guess you deserve to be treated like savages”
An Arab addressing South Asians with the usual racist put down (“savages”) and suggesting that the racism is justified.
Straight from the horse’s mouth.
hi there! introducing myself, im an indian from Mumbai, here im not against any of two races above, since im from india and my religion from arab.. one thing I would like to say, that is ‘stop blaming the whole race due to the acts of few peoples.. ‘
I have seen lots of good arabs and I have seen too some of evil arabs
the same thing goes to indian,and to people all over the world, if you hates someone for his skin, then you are completely a loser,no matter you are an indian or Arabian..
muslims, if you are saying that black skin is ugliest, then you have insulted our bilaal bin rabba, if you says that white skin is superior then there is no loser other than you
next, you want evaluating peoples according to money? ok ok, are you really sure that money can brings you to paradise? remember the word of Allah to our Only Beloved sallallahu aleyhi salaat wa sallam, ‘oh Muhammad,tell your ummah that I will evaluating your ummah according to his imaan,none of his exterior views’ remember one thing that all creatures were made by Allah subhaana wa tala, if you hates one of his creatures means that you hates your ownself..
a true musliman ,the one who were practiced islam,he would never looks down on anyone,
Muslim is one, one who says ashhado an laailaaha illallah ,wa ashadoo anna muhmmad rasul allah aleyhis salaat wa sallam’.. there is no race for muslims, when you say muslim, muslim is your race, allah is your god, Muhammad is your beloved, get my point?
and to Indians, stop blaming all or the whole due to the act of certain peoples, in fact most of my friends are Arabian, they never looks down on indian, I can say they are godsend, not all arabs are racist, racist exist is everywhere, race has nothing to do with racism.. there is no proof saying that indian is the best racse,or vice versa( arab).. no race is superior to any other race.. as a human, stop caring much about race, race makes nothing but racism. all humans are equall,
don’t you think im supporting arabs cuz im a muslim, according to me, according to my Islamic law, according to my god, there is no support for those who do wrong, no matter what his religion, that’s all..
fighting between two or more race would never makes you a good human, but racist.. racist is an insulted creatures that needless by human community,Thanks ,by, have a nice day..
once again, Racist is nothing but losser, not all arabs are racist, not all Indians are good.. tq
allahu maa’ sameeun alima, if you talk about god’s pusnishment according to Qur’an, munafik are worst than kafirs, this is Allah’s word, none of my own arguments..
why don’t allah gives punishment to yaahoodis? because one thing you should understand, from what I know is 50% of Iraqis are very racist due to the majority of shiah, im not lying but true, by munafik I mean shia, do you think allah recognized you shiiaism? shut the hell up man.. you cant simply say that ‘allah giving rewards to arabs and allah punishing all indian cuz Indians are worst’
according to allah, no islam
at least india is the third largest Islamic countries in the world, and there is no existence of shia in huge popelation in indian,, most Indians are sunni muslim,, we don’t reject our only beloved, even we are not as good as you at least we always saying that ‘ashadoo an laailaaha illallah, wa ashado anna Muhammad rasullallah’
you shia’s are just useless, you know one thing, you are the virus of muslims, you were killed most of our true Islamic leaders. you are worst than yaahoodi, you know nothing to judge people and you never known anything about Muhammad saw..
peoples all over the world, stop blaming all arabs, the o0nly racism in arabs are by shiah useless.. I take pity on aravbs, because of shia they were insulted by others,,, actually sunni muslim araabs are equivalent to malayk or angel of god.. but this shia are the worst
Listen buddies,
ghairil maghdhooubi aleyhim waladdhaaaaaleen..
mr Iraqi, can you tell me what’s the meaning of the word of above?
in the sight of allah, the maghdooubi is yaahoodi and addhaaalein is nasrani
——————————————————————————————————
in fact, most muslimss are just muslim in name,but they never practiced as a true musalman, sorry for sasying this..
from what mr Iraqis said is, that hinddu are worst than yahoodi, hinddus are worst than nasraani..
when in Qur’an allah says that munafik (shiaism is munafiqin) is worst than sunni
from what I know is, most muslims are just using name of allah for their nafs al amara..
let me talk a lil bit about our beloved rasul allah saw..
during the time of prophet, one blind yaahodi old man makes an insult to our beloved Aleyhis salaat wa sallam, but you know how great our beloved is? our beloved with forgiving hearts have forgiven the person and fed food on him,,we rarely see people like that.. you know friend, most peoples accept islam cuz they loved our prophet, I sometimes use to think that, if there is no existence of the Prophet Muhammad , we’re all just a kuffars
but most of muslims nowadays are really disgusting .. your racism makes you kufar, you ego’s makes you kuffar, you hypocrism makes you kuffar, you money makes you kufar..
in fact, allah don’t see you money, he want how purity is your heart..
that’s why most muslims nowadays are just muslim but idiot,, im a muslim too, I dare to say this
during the time of prophet, sahabas came to him ask, yaa rasul allah, what is the main practice of Islam>.. our aleyhis salaat wa sallam replied that ‘knowledge’ .. sahaba ask the same question again, he (sallallahu aleyhi wa sallam) answered the same..again and again
so, just ibada to allah is not enough to prove that you are a good muslim, you need to follow all the steps of rasul allah saw.. you know mister Iraqi, what you have said was forbidden in islam, cuz you were said that it is a punishment from God .. indeed a Muslim who truly loves God, he will not hurt the hearts of others
actually allah has given arab countries a lots of reward only for the sake of security and the spread of Islam, not to insult human..
as conclusion, be a good muslim and prove that muslim is a peaceful religion, and muslims is non racist..
money makes you blind, loves makes you kind..
in fact, when you When you pray for others, then God will double your reward.,.
when you insult for others,then god will double your punishment..
may god bless you ,and opens all muslim’s heart
amen
salam.. no more talk, im tired of answering the same question ,the same issues and the same batata batata batata
A “savage” was beheaded in Saudi Arabia.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20959228
There will be no arrests and no justice. Talal Jaber and his ilk will be pleased.
I am Pakistani American and the serventile behavior to Arabs in the UK and ME really disgusts me. They need to come to the US where South Asians are the richest minority and arrogant Arabs take over their dad’s liquor shop in some shitthole Michigan suburb.
And btw. The Arab community out of all Muslim communities polls has the highest rate of divorce and the most Muslima spinsters. That’s what happens when your sons marry non-Muslims with the support of your chauvinist culture
Savage Talal Jaber
In modern world when people work they are paid. You pay Indians when they work for you. Without oil, you guys will be still licking the sand in desert, Indians have suceeded without any magic oil money through their hard work, intelligence.
I think I have rightly called you savage.
I am an Indian in US, here you get to suceed without as bad treatment like you guys have and I am a research scientist who will never step even in Dubai ( not that any of you arabs to do any sort of research i mean that requires brains not just some magic oil money that you can earn sitting in your lazy asses.) even for a stop over.
Can I just point out, that Arabic speakers do not feel the need to double every long vowel?
Indeed, in many dialects the vocative “Yaa” is most often pronounced more like “Ye” or “Ya” – and that includes Hijazi dialect (you know, the one the Prophet spoke).
Spot the Salafi – spot the doubled vowel.
Oh – and in passing: so, just ibada to allah is not enough to prove that you are a good muslim, you need to follow all the steps of rasul allah saw
That is just nonsense – and patently so.
And if you are going to double in transliteration long Arabic vowels, might you be consistent? As it happens in the last quote, you made at least four trasgressions of your own absurd rules of transliteration…
As an East Asian who has worked in UAE, I can tell you that Arabs, in general, treat all East Asians pretty bad. In fact some of these Arabs coming to western nations extend the same treatment to East Asians settled in these nations. In that connection, I have a funny story.
While teaching at a famous So. California University years ago, one day I noticed a flashy new BMW with a license plate that stated, “UAE 100.” I was curious about this car because of the unique personalized plate and as it was parked in the faculty parking lot.
As the new semester started, one day I was walking with a few students through the campus. The same car with the UAE license plate came speeding to a screeching stop, and all of us were forced to jump out of the crosswalk. Out came a young Arab with a flashy watch and a cocky attitude. “You “fu%^& Indians, watch where you going.” He told us. Infuriated, yet calm, I was appalled by this man’s actions. However, some of my students were outraged. They started yelling at him, and he reluctantly drove off.
A week later, about 10 minutes into my class, the same young man walked in. He was surprised to find that I was his professor as he expected a white face! He spent about half an hour in my class room before walking out without a word! Later I found out that he dropped out the school!
I could never forget this incident.
Recently, the influx of East Asians to UAE, specifically from India, has changed. A lot of young graduates have no desire to work in UAE or at any other Arab nation. Only the uneducated and/or trade workers are coming to middle eastern countries now. Most graduates prefer to work in India or in western countries as so many opportunities are available for them.
As to the Arab who suggested that East Asians are back stabbers, I have one thing to say. You used these poor people as slaves. They used you to make a better life for them and their children. Let’s call this a reluctant symbiotic relationship and both os us benefitted from this.
In the not too distant future Arabs are going to be faced with a situation where you no longer have anything to export. Correspondingly, your living standards will come down and these poor people will return to their homelands. So, until then, be kind to these poor souls, and enjoy their cheap labor!
The fact of the matter is that everyone is racist to a degree. Forget about Arabs being racist towards South Asians. In India, the Hindu caste system is predicated on racial stratification. Pakis may claim they don’t have a caste system because of Islam but in reality their society has a quasi-caste system based on ethnicity and tribal background. Ground realities are, in general, the lighter the skin color, the brighter the prospects in life; here, there and everywhere. Get over it !
arabs are the scum of the earth. their country should be invaded and the 50 years worth of remaining oil should go to a responsible muslim who is not an arab. arabs are dumb people and they should be everyones slave. all non arabs should own one arab slave on a dog chain. these arab people should be counter attacked with violence. i think violence would sort them out as the arabs cant fight with the bedsheet they wear. I call them animals and every weekend here in east london we go out arab bashing. we try to find arabs and beat them up enough to send them to hospital. The only way to fight them is use their own medicine violence and racism against arabs. Whenever i find out someones an arab, i set up a mission to send that arab to hospital. Their anchestors are prostitutes incase if you didnt know. NEVER TRUST OR RESPECT AN ARAB.
^Lol well that’s just fucking rich. Some genetically inferior scrawny little shit is talking about beating up Arabs? We fucked you 1000 years ago, and we’ll do it again, so don’t try to act tough little boy.
【Jewish and Palestinian have a common ancestor】
Have you ever heard even though the Jewish people and the Palestinian people have different religions, they were originally from the same country and were good friends?
【Jewish and Palestinian have a common ancestor】
According to THE UNIVERSE(THE SKY)＝SORA’s information, Sun Boat (Khufu Ship) excavated in the desert of Egypt is the evidence for that.
In ancient times, people who lived in Israel went to Egypt to do commerce by Sun Boat, but they were captured and enslaved.
Therefore they were not able to go back to their home country. People who stayed at homeland protected their country and they were made to believe Islam over the ages, which means Palestinians are the people who have protected the homeland.
The long and short of it Jew and Palestinian have the same ancestor.
The info that Jew and Palestinian have a common ancestor has been proved by DNA and Israel historian recognized it too.

Had oil wealth not been here, these Arabs deserved nothing but sweepting the streets like Bangladeshis in the street. And their women, nothing but sex toys of the men tossing to each other just like football, one divorces and another takes on, would have been nothing but the children producing machines. Let them tell whatever they are saying, it is not them but their proud of petrol money is saying. All this depends upon the America’s support. Once America will kick them out, their end will be not different than Saddam and Qaddafi
Hello,am arab and i live in UAE,not all indians are poor and not all arabs are racist some of them are racist and some of them are not and almost all the racist people are Emirati people because they think that they are the richest people in the world and also not all emirati people are racist some emirati people have jokes with indians and pakistani So please dont always say all Arabs are racist and alhamdulilah am not of them

I was curious in what people in the middle east think of asians. im nor an arab nor an asian but my fiance is pakistani. I was actually planning to move middle east with him to raise kids and have a nice life more importantly wanted to become more religious and thought being in an muslim country would make our imaan stronger.
reading all these things, im now reconsidering moving their. middle east is meant to be a muslim dominated area. and in islam their is no racism. theres only one religion under islam and thats islam being a muslim not a sunni or shia etc. i dont like the fact i get asked if im sunni or shia, it shouldnt matter sunni or shia im a muslim thats what i say.
i live in uk and i thought this place was racist but to the looks of it middle east is worse. its a shame that where our beautiful religion was founded the religion is not ruling no more its going by races. we were all created by allah through Adam and hawwa. we are all from the same exact root. its the way allah created his next creations to be different coloured. and thats probably because to test us if we will be as one or as individuals.
guys come on man, go back to the roots remember why you are created, all that money you’re being arrogant with, you’re not going to the hereafter with it that stays in dunya. bring your senses back to yourselves. this is disgusting you’re literally going against allah!
There is not a single Muslim country or society, that has not been converted to Islam by brutal , merciless, inhumane massacres, including, hold yr breath, Saudi Arabia. It continued its vice like grip on the faithful s with equally brutal control and Lo! It became a culture of fear and fear is the key for these brainwashed people who are compelled to ignore all fairness, humanity and truths to defend Islam. In India they do have a horrible caste system which was being abolished nice until the Muslim sponsored congress party actually caste divisions and hat race for votes. STILL HINDUS ACCEPT THE DRAWBACKS AND WORK TO REMOVE THEM, MUSLIMS DEFEND AND JUSTIFY THEIR DRAWBACKS. Muslims are said to be brave, then they need to shaw the braver and rise against Their horrendous fath which is nothing but a bloodthirsty tyranny. They takes of castism in India, fair enough, but they why there are so many brutal wars within Muslims? They enjoy savage frenzy perpetrated by using the name of Allah? How can Gods Allahs name be used for butchery and his name rape, loot, massacres, snatching kingdoms of faithfully and ESP. Of nonblvers? In India there is not a single kind Muslim ruler. Gazni, Ghouri, Aibaks,Khiljees, Tuglucks, Timures, Baburs, Akbars, Shahjehans, Auranzeibs, Nader Shah the Iranian to today rulers of Pakistan are all bloodthirsty tyrants They can’t sleep if India is peaceful and progressing. Muslims, please rise against your own horror culture, if you are so brave.
There is not a single Muslim country that has NOT been converted thru brutal savagery and continued massacres untill everybody is fully enslaved and brainwashed and compelled to defend Islamic mentality.
“I was curious in what people in the middle east think of asians.”
Arabs are probably no more or less racist than any other society. I have, in the past, lived and studied there. As someone of Pakistani/Indian origin and from UK – I never did face racism.
I have a lot of family – from Pakistan – who work in KSA – and they are fine – if comparatively low paid workers.

Rather than making your mind up – go and see.
Indians of South Africa treat black staff such as maids and gardeners ten times worse than Arabs treat Indians, their ancesters run away from poverty and diseases to work in the sugar cane fields and today when they got rich the first thing they did is abuse poor black people who earn peanuts and get exploited and over worked by the so called “nouveau riche” Indian families, you guys SUCK!! The irony is that these same racist Indians go to Saudi for Hajj and then they go on and on about how rude and heartless ARABS are, just get over yourselves and realize that no one is perfect!
“There is not a single Muslim country that has NOT been converted thru brutal savagery and continued massacres untill everybody is fully enslaved and brainwashed and compelled to defend Islamic mentality.”
Sure – but try checking your “facts” – before airing your prejudices. I will let you mill over the history of Indonesia – in the meantime.
It’s unbecoming of our character as muslims to mortify and attack an entire ethnicity/nationality based on the actions of a few insular degenerates. It’s unwarranted generalization.
I’m a Kashmiri girl from a Salafi family living in Chicago and I am married to an Iraqi from a shia family. My family has rejected me, but his family treats me like a queen. We should not generalize or stereotype an entire race due to actions of a bigoted minority.
In the west, Indians are labelled as over-achievers.
20% of all International Medical Graduates in the US are INDIANS
INDIA provides the largest number of International Medical Graduates to the US
72.3% INDIANS participate in the U.S. work force
68% INDIANS are employed in select professional and managerial specialties
There are 60,000 INDIAN doctors in the US
In 2002, there were over 223,000 INDIAN-OWNED firms in the U.S
Employing more than 610,000 workers, and generating more than $88 billion in revenue
There is poor and rich in every nation, country or race.
Arab countries are rich in oil, but not all arabs are rich
In SAUDI ARABIA, 22 % of Saudis live BELOW poverty line.
4 million native Saudis live on less than $530 a month … about $17 a day… because the royal family is greedy
In the Caribbean, SYRIAN refugees sell gyros on the street
In the US, Iraqi refugees compete with Mexicans for jobs
In the US, Iraqis live on food stamps and welfare from the US government
NOBODY is superior than any other race or nation.
There are rich arabs who think they shit ice-cream and there also rich Indians with a Messiah Complex who walk on air
There are rich and poor in every country and race.
Skin colour does not define our social status, education or intelligence
There are Indians as dark as chocolate and fair as Caucasians
There are also arabs as dark as a Cadbury and pale as a European
White Americans are calling Arabs and Indians an inferior race and towel-head niggers
Every race seems to compete for ascendancy
As muslims we should emancipate our mentality from this low-thinking
Wasalaam.
Salma al Arabiya, what you say is right. There are Indians who treat Africans as brothers too. There are “arab muslims slave trade.com, who butchered Africans and Indians in Millions and ruled them for centuries with rape,loot and enslavement. In India, the muslim butchers , after encircling and taking over a town or village , used to enter victorious and then behead every able bodied youth and stud their heads in the sqares of the town a village to spread fear. Even Sunnah is blasting shia mosques,wedding party and funerals. A Sirian rebel is on youtube, cutting the heart out of a soldier and eat it !!! Indians dont do this. Nothing is perfect, By the way some Africans also behead or empute the children in their civil wars. Yet Indians or Africans agree of their drawbacks and correct. But muslims defend their bloody brutalities.
Sameeraji, whats the use of those figures you give. We are talking of Islamic Enslavement of India and Africa. See if palestine belongs to Muslims historically, then historically Kashmir,Afghanistan etc. belongs to India. We dont blame muslims for nothing. Seeing their historical oppression of us, we are of course afraid and worried about out existance ! It is possible Sameeraji, your forefathers were hindus who were forced coverts. Bakhtiyaar Khiljee butchered 40K buddhists and hindus at Nalanda for not following Islam and he destroyed the world reknowned University of Nalanda by burning it. Nealy half a million temples were destroyed and mosques were irrected in their place and broken parts of the temples are used as steps,stairs and pillars. Every town and village has this story to tell. When Gaddafis goons were bombarding the innocent people, they cried ” Allahu Akabar “…and those rebels responding back were also cried the same Allah u Akbar “….why they misuse the name of Allah when they kill muslims and nonmuslims. Unfortunately I think, you need to come out from slavish obligation to defend every wrong. I condemn castism etc. in Indians, but then Muslims and Christians have their own castism, in fact more bloodier. Though I do agree that no one is perfect. The problem is some imperfect people force thier philosophy down my throat with savagery. I dont agree to that. No one would.
Sameera, you are right ! So many Indias have progressed in USA and they are thankful to the USA. Not a single nonmuslim Indian is against USA. They are actually critical of some drawbacks of their own country and also praise some. BUT there are millions of Pakistanis,Bangladeshis,Somalis,Saudis,Iraquis,Iranians,Libyans, yemenis etc. who too are progressing so well there in USA. Can you tell me how many of these, if any, are in favour of America or Britain, or France or Germany or even India with their present secular democratic setups ? How many of them are Tamerlan Tsaraeve. By the way Tamerlan ( Taimur Lane ) is not indicative ?
