Obviously I am not one of the laborers that get 400QAR/month.
The fact that I am happy with my situations doesn't mean that I feel sorry for the exploitation generally observed in your country and on the other Gulf countries.
The attitude of pretending that their problem is not a problem is what maintains the situation similar to what it was centuries ago!
Nowhere in my comments had I said life is miserable for all in Qatar. All I said is that the sufferance from being away from family and friends added to their miserable salaries and life conditions, is quite a price to pay, don't you agree?
Moreover, Qatari-femme, how can you compare the salaries that Mexican migrants make to the ones laborers and maids make here in the Gulf region?! I wish (and believe me it’s not for my own personal benefit) that all laborers here in the Gulf, would make as much money as the Mexican migrants in the US!
Do you guys understand now what I am trying to say? How can a Nation be at peace with themselves and God when they exploit so many Human Beings?
Now I do empathize with you, it’s never easy to be away from our families and friends, but don’t you think that your situation as well as mine, are quite easy when compared with these poor people?
I just wish that your country would be the leader in changing the abusive situation. For sure Qatar would be praised and remembered forever by the entire world as the nation who contributed to dignify laborers and maids' lives in the Gulf!
Until then, Qatar is seen by the world, along with other Gulf countries, a state that allows modern slavery.
