...Anon: " haqani sb sends you his love."<br /><br />Though not surprised, I'm happy hear Obama-Sharif summit has made Haqqani unhappy.<br /><br />Having been rebuffed by Obama, I think Haqqani has become Trump's main foreign policy advisor. <br /><br />"Number one, the people negotiating don’t have a clue. Our president doesn’t have a clue. He’s a bad negotiator...We get Bergdahl. We get a traitor. We get a no-good traitor, and they get the five people that they wanted for years, and those people are now back on the battlefield trying to kill us. That’s the negotiator we have...I know the smartest negotiators in the world. I know the good ones. I know the bad ones. I know the overrated ones...But I know the negotiators in the world, and I put them one for each country. Believe me, folks. We will do very, very well, very, very well."

He lived in Saudi Arabia as an employee of Lockeed Martin Marietta (he is an aircraft engineer). Due to US laws, he got the same pay scales as white Americans, lived in the American-European enclaves, and children went to American schools. Still, outside of the enclave, when Pakistan exploded the nukes, every Saudi on the street congratulated him. Except for that, he felt discriminated against every time he went out of the enclave.<br /><br />Times have changed since 9/11. <br /><br />You are right, there is serious backlash and more and more discrimination in the US, but then we still see companies like Fireye's Ashar Aziz, Twitter hero Suhail Rizvi, and many other Muslims leading the change in the US..Shams S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848640164815342479.post-18683157774860367142015-10-22T07:32:08.684-07:002015-10-22T07:32:08.684-07:00Yes Riaz,to the point,you are right there.I endors...Yes Riaz,to the point,you are right there.I endorse what you are saying based on my own.experience.Salman Q.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848640164815342479.post-51787380848310157982015-10-22T04:55:26.417-07:002015-10-22T04:55:26.417-07:00western countries are better for immigrants.....fa...western countries are better for immigrants.....far far better ,there is no comparison frog or no frogAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391517951656072649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848640164815342479.post-69360474942056994622015-10-22T04:45:17.237-07:002015-10-22T04:45:17.237-07:00The kid is a Sudanese Arab.Will face much less dis...The kid is a Sudanese Arab.Will face much less discrimination in another Arab country.<br /><br />Face the bitter truth blood is thicker than water a Lebanese Christian Arab will face much less discrimination in a gcc Arab country like qatar than a muslim south Asian/Indonesian/African.<br /><br />After this modi nonsense is over and done with in 5-10 years what we need to have is a south Asian union and kick Arab ass.<br /><br />Though given India's immense size it will be NAFTA not EU still one should shoot for a Canada US.<br /><br />Modify got clobbered in Delhi and is gonna loose Bihar next week.Good sense is returning.<br /><br />Nehru take a bow your institutions have just passed an acid test.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848640164815342479.post-34543703926510911832015-10-21T23:14:31.260-07:002015-10-21T23:14:31.260-07:00well he most certainly won't be subject to the...well he most certainly won't be subject to the rampant Islamophobia.

Qataris, like all other Arabs, rate Pakistanis lowest in the social strata. Sudanis and other Arabic speaking Africans rate much higher. Probably next to Americans, West Europeans and GCC Arabs; higher than East European, Far Eastern, subcontinent people. So the discrimination faced by Ahmed's family in Qatar would be much lower than they'd be facing the US, or Pakistanis in Qatar. <br /><br />Pakistanis and other Muslims are being increasingly discriminated against in the US. Since you're living there, you'll not notice the change. As the frog story: If you put a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will leap out right away to escape the danger. However, if you put that same frog into a kettle that is filled with water that is mild and pleasant, and then you gradually increase the heat in the kettle until it starts boiling, the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late (boiled frog!).Suhail H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848640164815342479.post-6539267694095996282015-10-21T22:52:42.450-07:002015-10-21T22:52:42.450-07:00I agree with you.
