I hear that in middle east theirs discrimination,prejudicism. Say, two people apply for a job, one is arab white, other is muslim; however darker skin tone. The white one will get hired and get better positionthan other one. i read and heard people explain it to me...and it has been bothering me a lot . I can't love to do when i dont have waht others do naturally. I am happy with my self, but my family isnt islamic type, they always pull you into negativity. I am so sad no matter how good i am, im just not "white" i wont get what i deserve. Why? i can understand in non muslim countries, why in muslim?? ..their not practising sure...but it eats you up . I guess i am "being tested" but this is gonna go on for my life and another thing...i can't even marry a good practising sister cause shes not from same ethncity....my parents wont allow it. she is arab, and they want "pakistani". i am losing myself slowly..

this is so true.there is so much racism in the middle east.not only is there racism going on,but nationality also plays a lot on what how much you paid and what type of jobs you get. astagfirallah.and the racism in more prevalent in the older ones than the younger ones.

Is that where you are negatively biased against someone who is prejudiced?

Dang - I think I might be one of those prejudicists...

And seriously, change the title of this thread - it is most offensive.

Parents only do what they think is best for their child. I know this for a fact since my parents are the same. To tell you the truth though, I wouldn't have it any other way since my parents probably know me better than I do myself, in which case I have the utmost trust in them with regards to these kinds of matters.

As far as the employment thing is going on, you've merely hit a bump in the road. Pick yourself up and try again - soon enough you'll probably forget this problem ever happened.
 
Re: Muslims racist

There isnt one place in the world which isnt racist, it has nothing to do with Islam...
 
:salamext:

Parents know the world more than you brother, just remember that. They will always do what is best for you.

Has anyone been to Dubai? Over there even if you are a muslim arab people treat you unfairly, at the airport desks the arab women give dirty looks, the laws for foreigners are much stricter. Arabs think they are superior to other muslims or people.Even muslims workers over there e.g. taxi drivers complain about this. The arabs are only after the foreigners money. :raging:

I've been to Dubai... some arabic guy kept giving me filthy looks on the plane :blind:
 
The Arabs here hate Chechens. I don't know what we could have possibly done to them to desrve this but they can't stand us and this hate has caused some VERY big problems between the 2 communities.

You mean about Chechenia? I read in magazine that Chechens dislike rather Arabs who came there to fight with Russians.Is this true?

What's this, "bash the Arabs" day? Speaking of how Arabs mistreat non-Arab Muslims is all well and good....but how about how Pakistanis treat Indians? How about how Indians look at people who are maybe Chinese or African or whatever. This kind of prejudice is displayed by everyone who has more faith in their nationality than in Islam. I have yet to see a nationality that didn't feel some sort of superiority in relation to some other nationality.

Don't lose yourself to negativity, brother. It will eat you up from the inside. Allah will provide you with what is already written as your naseeb, that is for sure. Have sabr (easier said than done!) and keep turning to Allah in duaa and salaah. Use the time in which you are unmarried and not working to do all the things that will be difficult to accomplish if married and employed full-time. Allah knows why He has given you life and parents and work situation that you have. You just have to ask Him to make those reasons evident to you.

Thats just one strangers two pennies' worth. Khair InshaAllah.

Brother, snap out of it. First of all, its odd to hear of racism in middle east and yes its really sad. But how does it affect you practically? Secondly, parents won't let you marry a non-paki girl???? Since when did Islam put this rule forward? Did the Prophet ever say something along these lines? I never read in Islam that. That's the reason, I, a pakistani girl is about to marry a purebred european muslim brother insahAllah. And yes, my parents object to that but its not a valid objection islamically and that's the end of it.

Learn to stand up for yourself please. I know parents love you alhamdulillah but we don't have to follow their whims and desires. We aren't kids anymore, we are grown up adults with our own mind set and goals. Most parents forget the golden rule prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) put forward i.e. "When the child grows up, be his/her friend"

I hope this makes more sense inshaAllah.

Take care
assalam-u-alaikum

No the Chechens and Arabs in Chechnya who are fighting the Russians are very good friends and help eachother a lot but I was talking about the Arabs here in France they seem to hate us for some reason and everytime we try to find out why we can't get an answer.
 
I have personally got nothing against Arabs but i am told by many friends and relatives that there is alot of racism in the Middle East. My dad went to Dubai two years ago and he was treated like an animal and same with my cousin who swore she will never go there again but it is not only Dubai which has the problem, my relatives who have been to and lived in countries like Saudi Arabia tell me they get called 'Abdi' which i believe means servant or slave because they are black but anyways i am sure there are Arabs out there who are not racist.
 
I'm so glad I ent racist!!!
I love everyone...yes including all of you here..no matter what race, religion, colour etc
 
This has nothing to do with Arab racism, but to point out the universal nature of racism I would like to share this little tale. I'm half Native American, Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, and when I was a child my grandfather showed me a sign hanging on this little bar in our small town. It said "No dogs or Indians allowed". I will always remember that sign, although it has long since been removed. Racism exists everywhere. You just can't let it drag you down.
