Pakistanis have so much love and admiration for their “brotherly” nation Saudi Arabia and the “Holy Land”. They give all Saudis royal treatment when they come every year for hunting the falcons. I have spoken to many Pakistanis in US and they say they would prefer to move to Saudi Arabia where you can hear Azaan five times a day if given a choice instead of the America which is a nation with no morals. Many Pakistani women wear dresses like Arabic women. Most Pakistanis feel emotionally connected with Arabs and prefer being in the Arab group instead of filthy idol worshipping, cow worshipping sly and Bania “Hindoos”. Yet Saudi Arab dont treat Pakistanis with respect.
Islamabad: Many Pakistanis performing the Haj felt so humiliated by the “maltreatment” of Saudi authorities that some wept at the airport on their return, lawmakers here say.
Maulana Ghafoor Haidri, a MP, complained that Islamabad was “simply watching the insults like a silent spectator”.
Safdar Shakir, another MP, narrated how Pakistanis “wept at airports after returning from Saudi Arabia because of the maltreatment meted out to them by the local authorities and their agents during Haj”, The News reported.
The daily said that the government ignored their pleas.
Haidri criticised the Saudi authorities for what he called their insulting attitude towards the Pakistanis.
You'll find very few friends of Saudi Arabia on this forum.
Most of the liberals hate saudi arabia for being so conservative; most of the conservatives hate Saudi Arabia for how it selectively adheres to Islam in a way that the government uses Islam to stay in power.
The ignorant but kniving Sauds are none others but the ones that were incahoots with the british at the time they ruled the place. Nothing noble about them and hence nothing noble about the rules that their nation lives by.
most of us are idiots and go to Riyadh, Jeddah etc. thinking we will be embraced with open arms.. cuz we are Pakistanis and think bout this muslim brotherhood but Arabs are the worst animals.. take a gun with infinite bullets and shoot all of them.. scums of the first degree. I was like a paindu when I befriended two arabs in the university days and lent my hard-earned money from TAship to one of them- not long ago. Forget bout returning my money, he yelled at me when I demanded it.. On other note, they are the worst students you come across.. cant even multiply two numbers correctly.. Once oil dries up, they'll kill their camels and eat! Most of the arabs come to Pakistan to sleep with young brides (aged 12-16) and throw them in trash once they are done and we treat them as if they are all caliphs or moulvis.

There is one particular guy here on this forum, who doesnt care how many pakistanis are insulted in Saudi, how many pakistani women are raped and the general treatment pakistanis get there. He is a role model for sure.
This is surprising.... I couldn't believe the news when I wrote first..
It looks like that its money that's paramount to all... Religion and community comes second..
Not good... Not good....
^Well said light bearer.
Their attitude etc is not such only for Pakistanis. Plus, like everywhere else, there are good examples and bad. Labelling only makes one as worse.
And as far as the treatment of pilgirms is concerned, why talk only of how the Saudis behave? We must also mention how the 'muallims', travel agents and various other agents from India, Pakistan and other countries deal with their clients. They are charged for something, promised something else, and on arrival are provided something totally diff by their partners and employees in the holy cities, who by the way are mostly from the group's/individual's native country.
Plus, i think saudis do deserve atleast some appreciation for managing an event like Hajj. Has any other organization ever managed such a huge event with so mnay ppl in one area at once doing the same thing? Sure there are mishaps, they have to be much better managed to avoid casualties, but statistically ( and not emotionally) speaking, what are a 150 casualties out of 2.5-3 million?
^^ if we think a little, Saudi and whole middle east generally, They treat Pakistanis as servants cause they have seen only Pakistani Labour serving them in their country. so they have this in the mind set.
Funny real life example i can give you, my company has some projects running in KSA, due to some blasts, most of the Gora staff came back on more threats in Riyadh.
Some Asians, including brit Pakistanis, banglories, and me were willing to go,,,, but were told by our rourcing manager that "they dont like asian people working on these projects even if they are british let alone on same pay"
I dont wish to go to countries who dont respect others, prime examples US and KSA
My company recently had a big project in KSA and couple of pakisz working in US office decided to go on the project. The things that i hear from them ..sigh we have this natural affection for KSA coz of Kabaah and Prophet's affiliation with the place. But as mentioned earlier they mistreat every single one , even other arabs as well. i was told that the only way to get respect in KSA is to have blonde hair and blue eyes. On pakistani passport you cant even rent a car and you get mistreated in malls and all other public places. This is experience of my friends, who have decided to get out of the project even though they were getting 30% increase in pay.
So remember my sentimental Paki Muslims, all this bund chaatna in the name of brotherhood wont get you anywhere, brotherhood is fair enough but don’t go over board, have some self respect and maybe people will respect you a bit more, you’re a friggin’ joke all around the world.

Saudis disrespect anyone whose people work in their country as unskilled labourers be they South Asians, South East Asians or South Africans but out of all these people they despise the Paki the most because as well as being a kami kameen in their eyes the Paki is an arse lick.
