i have read every word of this posted column by heart.
I QUOTE..
>>>At the top, floating around in their black or white robes, are the locals
with their oil money. Immaculate and pampered, they own everything.
Under the locals come the western foreigners, the experts and advisers,
making double the salaries they make back home, all tax free. Beneath them
are the Arabs - Lebanese and Palestinians, Egyptians and Syrians. What
unites these groups is a mixture of pretension and racism.
Down at the base of the pyramid are the labourers, waiters, hotel employees
and unskilled workers from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, the
Philippines and beyond. They move deferentially around the huge malls,
cafes, bars and restaurants, bowing down and calling people sir and madam.<<
if there's anything that should be segregated, it should be garbage. :D
but really, this is a sad reality.
*its important that u have read the entire column first before u read the words i will write after this so you'll know what i will be talking about**
SOME PEOPLE ARE BORN PRIVILAGED. MOST OF..IN THIS WORLD ARE NOT. FEW LUCKY ONES GET LUCKY, GOT TO WORK THEIR WAY TO THE TOP.
BUT i feel particularly sad to those people who are forced to flee their homes (like parts of in africa and afghan), their countries..because there is no such thing as human rights back there anymore; famine and all these civil wars. they flee with the hope that in a "land" that is not of their own..itll be better.
THE PRIVILEGED ONES, INSTEAD OF REACHING OUT TO THESE PEOPLE..WE EXPLOIT THEM.
NOW THAT, MY FRIENDS..IS HARAAM. a big shame.
MY FAITH AND BELIEF IS IN THIS, HOW WE WILL BE JUDGED BY GOD IS ON HOW WE HAVE TREATED OUR NEIGHBOURS.
not on how much i have covered up my body or how much i have fasted. i have respect for all religions, and with all do respect as i say this but for a culture that does fasting to be reminded of how it is to be poor, this is just not right.
moreover, these labourers- just not because theyre asians or that they may not be muslims..don't mean God has abandoned them therefore the quran is way beyond of their morals or value as humans created by one God. this is not an attack on islam but a desperate cry for injustice by those rich powerful non-muslims and their filthy ways and to the muslims who don't practice the teachings the right way.
LASTLY, u know what heres a thought!..slavery like the labourers the world before us, had happened in an uncivilized time..i will not say "in a modern one" but a civilized one! a time where people dont throw rocks at eachother anymore, or do combat with the use of axes and swords.
to say we have reason enough to have slavery now because we have been doing this for centuries IS A PATHETIC EXCUSE OF UNIMAGINABLE GREED AND GRAFT,EXPLOITATION AND CORRUPTION.
