Mal-treatment of Arabs studying in Pakistan??? Where did you get that idea man? When I was in the university, we had a bunch of Arab students (Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians and some Sudanese) and everyone used to offer to help them out just because they were foreigners. I, personally, know two of those who stayed back in Pakistan and they do not want to go back.

The exra-charging from public transport is a separate issue. They will even charge you more if they realise that you are coming to Pakistan after a long time. It is not about discrimination, but about the exploitation of the lack of someone’s knowledge.

Mistreatment of people of African countries, I think is an issue. There are a few reasons for that. One being many Africans come here to smuggle drugs out of the country and police have specific orders against foreigners indulging in criminal activities. However, all are not same.

I have worked in many Middle Eastern countries. While I maintain as well that all people are not the same, there are plenty of Arabs (especially in KSA and Kuwait) who look down upon people from the Sub-continent, just because they are poor. According to them, we are sucking their blood now. They don’t realise that without this cheap labour from the Sub-Continent, they would never have been able to make these impressive cities. You tend to understand the situation if you go Westwards to Algerias and Morocos where the people of SC did not go.

I 100% agree with that. We need to develop our own identity and not become chamcha of Arabs just cuz they are muslims or are rich. It is a fact that they treat ppl from the sub-continent roughly. Even the educated engineers/doctors from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh/Sri Lanka are not spared. For us, they dont like our face cuz poverty is written on it. They are still living in the 60s or 70s when the sub-continent was massively poor and hungry. Saddam Hussein would routinely ridicule whenever there would be a drought/earthquake/flood in the region and look at what happened to them. Dont worry folks, these Arabs are not going to remain rich for long. The oil is drying. In like 50 to 70 years they will have sand to eat and camels to live under. They come to Punjab and pay a few thousand dollars and buy marry for 60th or 70th time a girl who is 40 years younger to them. I knew an instance where there was this middle-aged arab lived in Pak for 3 years and during his stay he had taken huge loan from like 7-8 guys and had made a Punjabi aunty pregnant.
