I'm sure that sounds a little over played to those of you who have never been to Saudi Arabia [ the HOLY COUNTRY ], but to those of us who have lived there, gone to their schools, walked their streets and went to their hospitals , its just another day of another week where we remind ourselves not only do we not have a country to go back to ; we have to give up our rights to respect and dignity if we want to stay where we are .
The words to best describe a saudi is :IGNORANT AND ARROGANT . its as easy as that . for example last year as i returned from somalia , i was forced to swallow my own tongue so i would not have to deal with another saudi officer . here is how it all went down .. as i made my way through the customes at jeddah international airport , the officer at the desk asked me a question in arabic i did not hear what he said so i asked him to please repeat what he said [ let me mention i do not speak in arabic but i do very much understand it ], so he asked again and you could see he was getting annoyed. i replied in english and as i got my passport back and made it out , he made sure i heard him say : "MANFOO7A ITDAWAARAT" [manfooha is a Somali neighbourhood in Riyadh and itdawaarat means developed] his point ? - stop trying to act all smart because you can speak english .
Ofcourse there's always two sides to every story and this one is no exception . its very much as simple as " SOMALIS NEVER FAIL TO RUIN THEIR OWN REPUTATION " . over the last few years , the number of illegal somali residents in the kingdom has just hit sky high records . Forced out of their own homes , you would think they would have the common sense to start out clean but guess again. Drug dealing , stealing , prostitution and alcohol smuggling. You name it and we are somehow connected . the sad part is its always the legal residents who pay the price for those idiots.
and we wonder why we are always mistreated ..
