1) Saudi, granting citizenship in accordance to profession and contribution to development of country , a wise decision which will benefit in forth coming future

2) Religion and ISLAM is of tolerance for all colors background and other religions and only GOD will decide fate of MAN not MAN HIMSELF , like all religion it is manipulated different people choose to take what suits them , lazy steal wealth , but are religious , others want to destroy gods name by committing acts of violence /killings in the name of good , others want to pretend they are divine with gods words, in fact bottom line all will be judged and I hope those who have tainted religion are judged harshly .

3) GCC are newly discovered and developed countries that grew based on OIL , locals that comprises of former Arab countries such as Saudi or Iraq , Iran , wonders searching for a better life and settled and those newel developed governments offering a better life have now perhaps to there peril created a nation of lazy , selfish , corrupt population , that of course don’t wish to share what wealth they have even with expats that have significantly helped put there country on the map in terms of science, business, social , economics .

Its a sad world we live in when those with supposed higher education such as Dr Majeed bin Mohsen Al-Alawi states granting citizen is for worst , ha ha I say you thought process fits into my earlier statements 2 ,3 .

Take a lesson from the west.

1) Those who are hard working law abiding and contribute …..grant citizenship

2) Abolish this attitude GCC Arabs have IM LOCAL …..bla bla bla breads contempt at all levels

3) Show the west that ISLAM is not to be feared, and can be a modern ISLAM tolerant of issues, GOD wants us to choose by our self wrongs and rights.

4) Adhere to 1-3 soon , before its beyond salvage

5) ARABS ARE THERE WORST ENEMY NOT THE WEST.

I tried commenting on Arab News and they did not publish it. Part of the known restriction on freedom of speech there.. I lived all my life in KSA and I saw this coming. While other civilized countries make rules easier and easier for foreign people. These guys just get their pleasure by harassing the very people who built thie countries. It’s a shame. GCC nationals cant even wipe “u know what” without foriegn people. Nuff said.

I said it before and I will say it again, this idea is just stupid. Gulf countries depend on expats in a crazy way. this won’t help them.
