From what I was taught, it was the Romans that brought justice and civilisation to Europe, not the Arabs. The only thing the Arabs have brought to Europe, is money...
And whilst I am been told to thank the Arabs for the principles and values that live today, well would these be,
• Have as many wives as you like because that is the only way the men can get around adultery.
• Keep your ladies in doors and don't allow them to work or be educated (although I appreciate this is changing slowly)
• Suppress them and make them cover themselves head to foot, regardless of their opinion. And whilst we are at it make them walk 3 steps behind when we are out in the street.
• Don't allow the women to mix with the men for fear of someone being sexually aroused.
• Treat ANYONE who is not an Arab with contempt, and discriminate against them.
Do I need to go on? these are the values I see every day in Doha, at work!, out shopping and up at Education City.
I think it is fair to say that there is good and bad in every race, creed and nation, but do not be misguided in thinking that the Arab culture is the ‘promised land’ above all others' for principles and values...
QL. you're joking right??
