No es sorprendente que el multiculturalismo funcione solamente, cuando se trata de aceptar el “Tsunami árabe y demás”, en nuestros países, pero guay de que algun tipo de inmigración foranea, amenace con transformar la cultura y el modo de vida y de creencias en los países árabes!
El Ministro de trabajo de Arabia Saudí, dice que la inmigración desde Asia, con 17 millones de trabajadores que en su mayoría provienen de India y Subasia, son para los árabes peor que un ataque de Israel o que una bomba atómica.
Que dirían en Europa si se expresara así alguno de nuestros Ministros? Si solamente por insinuar que la legislación debe ser mas rigurosa con las juventudes de orígen inmigrante, un político ha sido practicamente inscinerado en la hoguera de los herejes, en Alemania.
Bahrain labour minister warns of ‘Asian tsunami’
A Bahraini minister has warned of an “Asian tsunami” because of the reliance of “lazy” Gulf Arabs on foreign labour to carry out even the simplest tasks, in an interview published on Sunday.
Labour Minister Majid al-Alawi told Asharq Al-Awsat that the presence of almost 17 million foreign workers in the Gulf, mostly from the Asian sub-continent, represented “a danger worse than the atomic bomb or an Israeli attack”.
“I am not exaggerating that the number will reach almost 30 million in ten years from now,” he told the pan-Arab daily.
Alawi has called for the residency of foreign workers in the oil-rich Gulf states to be limited to six years but the leadership of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council has not followed up on the proposal.
“The commercial lobby in the Gulf thwarted the project which was in the final phases before being implemented,” he said.
Alawi said that Gulf nationals were “lazy” and “spoilt”, relying on imported labour for the simplest of tasks.
“A lord with billions in Great Britain cleans his own car on a Sunday morning, whereas people of the Gulf look for someone to hand them a glass of water from just a couple of metres away,” he said.
“If the Gulf governments do not watch out for this tsunami of foreign labourers, the fate of this region is very worrying,” he said.
In October, Alawi called for the Gulf’s “sponsonship” system to be abandoned, saying it left foreign workers at the mercy of the individuals or institutions which employ them.
He called for government to oversee visas and work permits to protect the rights of foreign workers, in a region which human rights organisations have often accused of abusing employees in slave-like conditions.
AFP – 28 Jan, ‘08
There you have it. It’s official. We – the Arabs – are lazy, greedy and incompetent. Said by the sitting Minister of Labour. The same minister who had his plans to limit the expatriate entry-level worker’s presence in the Gulf to a maximum of 6 years thwarted rather spectacularly by the Board of Directors of the Arabian Gulf.
The passion which was evident in his 6-year-stint plan has not left him, in fact he is now passionately warning of another ‘Asian Tsunami’ which will result in a complete demographic change in these countries. In his latest salvo, it is akin to him gleefully poking eyes and saying ‘I told you so’.
Mansour Al-Jamri, the editor of Al-Wasat in Bahrain agrees with him. In his column this morning, he outlines the legitimate danger [translate] this situation can result in. Al-Jamri suggests that foreign labour we customarily have and as their visas suggest, should not be classified as temporary due to their semi-permanence in our communities. He contends that what we really have is full-scale emigration. And this, denotes the possibility of them soon demanding their human and political rights.
Whether we like it or not, international conventions give them those rights. After all, quite a lot of them have already surpassed the requirements to gain the citizenship in the country they chose to work in even by using local constitutions and laws.
When this happens, a big political problem will occur for our communities. This concerted and sudden demographic change left unchecked and uncontrolled will lead to social disharmony at the very least. In Bahrain, we are already experiencing this phenomenon with the supposed “immoral” naturalizations.
