A country that claims to be Islamic yet seems to forget the Islamic concept of all being equal except for in deeds — and colour, background and wealth having no significance in someones level of status. The most arrogant of the wealthy are those who have attained significant wealth through inheritance or luck, e.g lottery winners or those who sit on oil that they lack the sophistication to extract and needed to sell themselves to western companies who have the ability and technology to extract it. So in the space of 50 years a peoples who have made no advancement for the past 1000 years and relied on the fact that they were from the land where Islam originated and to which Muslim face for protection from various Muslim Empires became amongst the most wealthy on earth. Now there is no strong Turkish/North African/Afghan Muslim Empire, they rely on the protection of the west who protect them because of their oil wealth and strategic location. Now they cannot look down onto those that extracted the oil to them and militarily protect them, so instead they look down on others from poorer countries and distance themselves from non GCC Muslims because they do not want to share the burden of poverty that other Muslim countries face . Yes, Morocco has prostitution, which I must add in Marrakech is decreasing due to the recent economic boom, BUT many of the clients are from Saudi, as is the case in Bahrain and Dubai, and now many Saudi’s are heading to Thailand, but unfortunately for them there THEY are on the receiving end of discrimination as signs reading “Arabs (Gulf Arabs) and Indians are not welcome” are common at the entrances to many bars. I have never experienced discrimination from Saudi, but points to make to any Saudi who looks down on any nation is this: Israel and Saudi were formed around the same time, both on barren lands, Saudi had the advantage of oil to acquire almost unlimited wealth, Israel did not. Yet 50 years later who has produced more, who has made the biggest contribution science and technology in the fields of medicine, weapons and other areas. Which country has the better infrastructure, literacy rate, and education system, which country has better living conditions and opportunities for its average citizen and which country is more respected ( not necessarily liked). Then you can bullet point Saudis relevance to two things Islam and Oil and nothing to do with anything the people have achieved. 1) For 1200 years, was protected, sustained and maintained by Muslim Empires only because of Makkah and Medina and its status as the birth place of Islam. 2) For 50 years has been protected and helped by the USA because of its oil.

The ugly side of wikipedia not always evident to readers is especially evident if you've ever tried to post to it. You find that on certain subjects there are editors with final editing authority who are only there because they enjoy the power trip. Sometimes they aren't even that interested or knowledgable on the subject. There's also a problem with commercial interest sneaking in. Bottom line is that Wikipedia is a good <strong>starting</strong> point for research but not the final word.

I expected such acts by Kuwaitis. But you know what Kuwaitis think about us in Ba7rain... they call us the Hindi of the Gulf. At least in Ba7rain, a Hindi, Bengali, Paki and others do stand a better chance at justice, but I am not painting a rosy picture, for there is a lot more work to do. A lot of the crimes against these laborers are committed by members of their own groups, and I have seen Hindi beat down another for failure to do something.

Torture and getting long - jail sentences is usual. Bloggers make sure nobody knows their real identity but they are not aware of that IRI government is trying to have online spying system on people through Internet gateways (its limited and government controlling them).
