Yes there is but it's situational and less in religious aspect. Racial discrimination is more rampant i guess because of professional competition. I know one, because I'm working with one racist in our company. He's a bully and wants to intimidate everyone. Even to a muslim-born like me. And he hates people smiling :-)

Some people need to discriminate because it validates their existence. But a whole region based on discrimination? That's being too emotional.

Manila, then they deserve to be detained and to enforce the filipino law on them. As simple as that.

And regarding What the Muslims in Gulf would say, I doubt on that they would say that it is a discrimination and the evil plot of America.. It is just your opinion and the way you understand and think of Muslims

I have no idea of what these people have done or whether they are guilty or not but lets say they were preaching here. Imagine 4 qataris in Manila preaching their faith and the govt arrested them and held them in detention for a long period of time. What do you think would be the reaction? Muslims in the gulf will say this is discrimination against Muslims again and the evil plot of America.

then why don't you just go to the Ministry of Interior or the prison where they stay (if it is true story) and complain?

Or else collect money from kabayans and hire a lawyer for them (if they don't have one already)

Hahahahahahahahahah, that's funny. The govt of the Philippines would help OFW in trouble? Only if there was money in it for them.....

'In addition, the government of Philippines would surely take care of this case and help the pastors, unless they also found them guilty'

They are just blogs where everyone can say anything and spread rumors. Anyone can create his own blog and write anything he/she wants to.

Besides, did you know that having unlicensed churches are illegal here in Qatar? Maybe these pastors opened couple of unlicensed churches and who knows what else they have done...

In addition, the government of Philippines would surely take care of this case and help the pastors, unless they also found them guilty

Sir and Mam, thank you for your thoughts about discrimination, I have friends and relatives there in Qatar, its true and confirmed that discrimination is there. Im raising this questions because I known someone who falsely accused and illegally detained there for lack of reasonable proof and evidence. Now suffering from a very unfair legal proceedings. Have you heard about this STORY? 5 Pastors Deatined in Qatar. Maybe NOT, because I also heard that there are news blockout in qatar especialy in cases like this. Please see the link for some proof http://injusticeinqatar.wordpress.com/

Yes to all of the above. It's the gulf, it's built on discrimination!

Before someone else says it here goes..... If you don't like it go home.
