Firstly, the article is too xenophobic to merit much discussion. It's boils down to the same old 'it's their country' mantra which I have heard enough times to last a lifetime. Jolly gee reading this I just want to get off the plane at Heathrow and starting shouting through a microphone at foreigners: "GET OUT OF MY WAY! THIS IS MY COUNTRY! AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT, YOU CAN LEAVE!"
Secondly, I was brought to Qatar to do a job and when I leave they'll bring someone else in to do it. Would he like religious screening for employment? If "they" (a Qatari organisation) want me to leave, I will. A process of "Qatarization" as it is called seeks to put those Qataris who want them into jobs.
Thirdly as you say, britexpat, Gulf nationals enjoy a kind of protection almost approaching diplomatic immunity in the Gulf States. I've never seen anything quite like it anywhere else in the world, and I must say I hope I never do.
