Its surprizing how people are willing to jump to racist insiniuations based on a few or single incidents. Despite your coloured views thanks for saying the line Oryx: "I think a society shows its true colours by how it treats its weakest members". Now I would apply this argument and try to remember how the Americans treated prisoners at Abu Ghareb or how many innocent people are held without trial at GBay and use it to judge americans. Or I would try to recall how South Africans treated their blacks and judge their society on it. Shall I also try to judge how the Japanese treated Chinese and Philipinos during world war II (performing experiments on living prisioners) to judge them?? The less said about the silence of the western world to Palestinian plight, the better.
Will it also apply to Qatar,or GCC in general, the way it treats its poor Labourers and maids?? (Read Human Rights watch for its glittering tribute to Dubai). I guess before making general insinuation based on individual experiences a bit of introspection will help. Its always about individuals, good or bad, not nationalities. Just as its a bit rich on "truth" to come with the line "all arabs who are reading this".
