And on..

So sorry for cutting short last night, the fact is, talking about nationalism in Saudi Arabia is very unusual, Saudis are very nationalistic, but decline to admit it, we generally despise nationalism - yeah, that Gamal Abdulnasser bollocks - and we claim to be more religion oriented than nationality oriented: "We muslims are all brothers" sort of thing.

Truth is very different, we are one of the most racist nations to tread the surface of this planet we call earth, for not only we despise people for not being Saudi, but also for being from the wrong tribe

Three orders of despicableness:
1. You, Sir, Are not an Arab
2. You, Sir, Are not A Saudi
3. You, Sir, Are from a different tribe.

Those who suffer most from racial profiling in the KSA are foreign workers, esp. from India, Pakistan & Indonesia. note that we don't really care weather they are muslims or not, Heck, we don't even know, for they are beneath are observance.

Dr. Murad Hofmann took note of this when he came to Saudi Arabia, he then reflected:
"I guess one can feel above all, when fortune at its greatest strikes him twice, once when Islam is born on his land, and once when the Oil was discovered" however, Hofmann knows that it is not an excuse.

Hofmann was german diplomat who converted to islam after a car accident.
