racism - the bolder post

I have written in the past about racism in the country between different clans and tribes about how each tribe member favors their 'members' over the 'other folk' and how some tend to think that some people are slaves in their eyes. Which is quite a shame since we call ourself such a modern society that we live up to modern standards that are internationally known.

It is a shame. A big shame.

But not quite as shameful when you learn that a large country such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - in the personal security advisor's own words - that the Kingdom should intervene to help their Sunni 'brothers' in Iraq, so as not to let the majority of the Shee'ats kill anymore of their 'brothers'. Something that the Holy Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had denounced and claimed that the Kingdom will 'never interfere' into the Iraqi internal affairs.

Now, it's not exactly a secret that the Saudis aren't too popular between their GCC brothers, but to be honest, what would they gain behind such a move apart from the fact that they would escalate the current situation in Iraq, increase the number of killings, murders and number of homeless and orphan people and all this in the name of helping out their 'brothers'? When it is their 'brothers' that are causing all the deaths and killings nowadays and in the past - just because they can't get along with the Shi'ats.

Now imagine that exact situation in all of the GCC countries.

Totally catastrophic.

Not to mention absolutely senseless.

And unfortunately, here in the Middle East our world isn't too different than it is in the West nor to the East. And all this in the name of power. Supreme power.

The truth is: we don't live in a perfect world.

Which is why most of the Middle Eastern people having that voice inside their heads nagging at them shouting that they should do something.

Which is why we see suicidial bombers. Which is why we see people giving their lives for the cause that that exact chance is their only chance for them to make a change in their lives. Which is why we see so many people wanting to get trooped into voluntary armies to be sent for those countries' causes.

But they are all stopped.

By their countries' security forces closing down access to get there.

That's why we are who we are.
