Why your anti-saudi hatred? A gentleman I personally know was granted refugee status in Saudi Arabia in the late 70s. He was a Bengali member of the East Pakistan wing of the Jamaat-i-Islam, who served as a minister in the provincial government in 1971, and was imprisoned and persecuted for years afterwards by the Bangladeshi government for having opposed Bangladesh's independence.

He lived out the rest of his life as a refugee in Medina, though he ofen visited the UK where I met him many times.

Yes Nawaj Sharif and his family too were given similar political asylum. Can a poor muslim refugee hope to get help from Saudis? Will Saudis accomodate poor palestinian refugees?

Saudis discriminate Indians and Pakistanis too. I had got a job in a Saudi Govt owned company and when I learnt that a white guy for the same job was getting almost three times than me and had been offered hefty perks while whatever was promised was not given to me then I felt enraged and then I asked my mother to fax a letter that she had been hospitalised and then on that basis I got my passport back and then left the country, never to return. You may say that it's an individual case but just speak to any Indian or Pakistani expatriate living in Saudi Arabia and then you will hear the same stories of rampant discrimination.

I would never like to go to Saudi Arabia but for my mother to accompany her to perform Haj since my father is no more.
