Le 11% Arabs

Why are Arabs okay with being a minority in their own countries?
>United Arab Emirates - Arabs are 11.3% of the population
>Qatar - Arabs are 12% of the population
>Bahrain - Arabs are 46%
>Kuwait - Arabs are 30%
Even Saudi Arabia, the homeland of Arabs, is pushing it - Arabs being 67% of the country (percentage-wise, less than the Germans in Germany).
Aren't Arabs pissed that their nations are filled with migrant workers - Indians, Pakis, Flips, etc?

They're like Jews, user (same ethnic group outside of Euro mixing).

They only care about running the place.

What the hell are they going to do when their oil runs out?

In those countries, the migrants dont have any rights and will lilely be deported, imprisoned or executed for chimping out. They also only work shit jobs like service and manual labour and are normally only allowed to do low paying work

They will either kill or expell the foreigners. They're not eurocucks.

Hmm, but historically this has never turned out well, has it? Many nations have brought in others to do slave-tier work, but then found it impossible to get rid of them.

Neom project
Look it up

I heard saudi arabia is investing in some modern mega city that's completely self sustainable, their dependency on oil being a major weakness in the future apparently.

youtube.com/watch?v=A_mRDFlKwU0

yeah it's called NEOM, could be a massive failure though but it's better than relying on oil indefinitely. Also I don't see how they can do it cause their education system is primarily religious in nature and they have amongst the smallest amount opf scientists and engineers in the world. Can't see it happening unless the education system is completely overhauled to actually teach things that sustain a civilization like medicine, engineering and science.

They had the idea to castrate their slaves, that is why there is not 100 million africans in Arabia. I am sure they will begin doing something similar with pakis soon enough

Saudis aren't okay with having 33% of the people living in the country being foreigners. And they don't like how the province that has Mecca and Medina is full of Saudi citizens that are foreigners. They can tell because of appearance, last names and the lack of the inhabitants of that province when it comes to their tribal history.

When it comes to the rest, they are okay as long as

Bahrainis don't like it because the govt there is bringing Sunni Pakistanis to offset the native Shia Arabian population. In both Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, religion burrs ethnic lines.

FUCK AMERICA 210 286 849seven

Not true about low skill work. The private sector is mostly taken by expats, whether low skill or high skill. Saudi Arabia is the one country shifting its citizens to join the private sector, which is why they enacted laws so that only Saudis get certain private sector jobs.

you moron. You complete imbecile.

I can understand why the jew might find this confusing since they worship blood over god, but among Islam religion is above all else. They will accept even the white man as a brother as long as they pledge themselves to teachings of Mohammed.

if i dial that number would it be painful?

They're expat workers. One thing is we NEVER give them citizenship. So they never settle down here and eventually have to leave no matter how long they've been working in the country. They could be born here or be working for decades and settle here with kids but if they don't have a job they have to leave.
In the West you have a pathway for citizenship and they can settle with their families forever if it's possible.

And the main reason is that we're lazy and incapable - simple as that. So we rely in foreign labour to do work for us and being wealthy oil rich nations with small populations who live off handouts this is easy. The foreigners are usually paid peanuts as well unless you're Western.

cheap labour
saudis would rather bring in pakis and indians who don't speak the language and have a different culture because they're cheap to hire instead of letting in arabs who speak the language and have a similar culture but won't settle for being used as cheap slaves.
saudis are literally desert jews user. there was a massive jewish population in medinah long ago, and islam is just desert judaism

this is the most retarded thread I've ever seen on Sup Forums

None of those countries give citizenship to men, only possibly to women who marry. And on top of it, people can't have dual citizenships in those countries. They're called racists by leftists for doing so.
The Muslim population in UAE and Kuwait is 76%. That of Qatar is 68%. Bahrain is at 70%. Overwhelming would be having at least 90% or close to.

Learn to geography.

Not as retarded as the post above yours.

this. (((Medina))) was jew central, and the jews were forced to convert to islam... in otherwords, kike genes exist within arabs.

The non-Arabs in those countries are basically slaves. Arabs don't work in their own country. The government gives them free money and brings in guest workers who get their passports stolen and forced into involuntary servitude.

Expatriates is not the same is non-Arab. In the UAE, for example, many of the foreigners are other Arabs like Jordanians and Egyptians.

I'm from Bahrain you cunt.

We aren't okay with it, which is why I have 5+ siblings and so do almost all my other older relatives.
Give us some time anyway, we'll get there eventually. The majority are just poor Indians or Pakis with 0 power so they can't really do shit.

None become citizens of Saudi-Arabia and none have the same rights as a muslim Saudi citizen and they never will. That's the main difference between there and places like here.

They're minorities, but who cares when the majority are slaves with no power and representation?

Think of it this way: Would you mind being a minority in Australia if the majority had no rights and no power and the government only took care of you white Australians?

>mfw a mongolian throat singing board is more diverse than your average women's studies class
this is why I come to Sup Forums

>but then found it impossible to get rid of them.

They can be deported any time the governments choose.

Also, they wouldn't stay anyhow, these are Muslim countries we're talking about. No one wants to live in a Muslim country, not even Muslims, that's why they all immigrate to Western countries. Even the elite and privileged rear their children in Western countries and have a little 'second home' in Western countries.

Speak the Bahraini dialect then. Odds are people could be reading the post of an expat.

Does it matter? I honestly don't give a damn about proving anything online to strangers on a forum.
The proof you need is my flag which's sufficient to indicate I'm from Bahrain and aware of its internal situation.

You said "we", which implies you're Bahraini. And Bahraini typically know of their govt's policy to naturalize non-Arab Sunni migrants.

>Aren't Arabs pissed that their nations are filled with migrant workers - Indians, Pakis, Flips, etc?

You mean slaves? Probably, but worth the cost for them.

Fuck sake man why are you so eager just take his word for this and ask some other Bahraini about it if you ever meet one in your (((DIVERSE))) country.
I'm not Bahraini but this is the same case in many gulfie countries with low population of locals. Might also be why our Sheikhs are also trying to make the UAE a great tourist place; Which in fact it is.

I say good on you for trying to re-take demographic control of your country. Keep doing it.

Arabs are lazy people. No Arab will grow rich through work beyond what he must. When they grow rich enough they bring in slaves damn the demographic consequences. They never went through a market revolution.

theyre mostly "muslims" tho.

Who the fuck lives in UAE then?

he looks very Israeli

What you're describing is exactly like Apartheid South Africa. It was a great country to live in up until foreign kikery ruined it. You can't fend off hostile foreign powers while you have to worry about a large majority population of hostile shitskins revolting.

>Arabs are able to recover from 11% because they put bitches in their place
>we're just going to sink further into the abyss because we listened to their whining

unlike europeans, arabs were very always a small group populations-wise.

In 1900 Saudi population was 1 million, today it is ~50 million
In 1900 Yemen population was 2 million, today it is ~40 million

In 1800 Turkey population was 5 million, today it is ~80 million
In 1800 Iran population was 3 million, today it is ~90 million

once you gibs dem white mans science/tech they breed like roaches


populstat.info/Asia/saudiarc.htm


the mere fact that they are approaching a billion, shows the extent of artificial population booms caused by european technology


tl;dr the arabs/jews are just gonna continue breeding out the rest and live off slave goyim labor

>from 1 million to 60million in less than a century

yes, asia and africa is inbreeding on steroids

meanwhile europeans arent breeding but being invaded by useless inbred breeders that outbreed them and exploit the white as cattle

So? Blacks and Hispanics are mostly Christians or Catholics.

>bullshit: The post
The people of the GCC go to the West to study and sometimes stay a little, but the vast majority go back home. The West is very overrated and it's typically the people from poor countries who stay there with the intention that'll be indefinite. Even the atheists of those countries prefer their homeland rather than the West.

The elite keep their kids in their home countries to groom them for leadership.

Yeah, that's why you see Arabs from these Gulf countries who are perfectly fluent in English yet can barely speak Arabic, that's why you see Arabs from North Africa who are fluent in French and can barely speak Arabic, that's why they all have property in Western countries, that's why they educate their children in Western countries. They prefer their home countries SO MUCH that as soon as they have the financial means to do it, they create a world for themselves and their children which is completely isolated from them.

Atheists face the punishment of death do not prefer their home countries.

I don't know what the fuck you've been reading, but wealthy Arabs, like ALL Muslims, Arab or not, prefer Western countries to their own, if they could all feasibly immigrate to any Western country with the guarantee of staying there, they would.

Bahrain is the exception and I don't like the larping and infiltration of quasi ethnostates by people who claim to be part of the group.

Saudi's population is 20 million citizens and Yemen is at 27 milions.
>approaching a billion
Learn2math. It's approaching 60 million in total when it comes to the Arabian peninsula. Europeans have always had higher population numbers and currently do so as well. It'll stay that way unless Arabian Peninsula is greened.

>Yeah, that's why you see Arabs from these Gulf countries who are perfectly fluent in English yet can barely speak Arabic
You're quite dumb if you think that's a thing. There is no such thing as a native of those places who speaks English better than Arabic.

>, that's why you see Arabs from North Africa who are fluent in French and can barely speak Arabic,
North Africans are Berbers. Arabic is not their mother tongue.

>that's why they all have property in Western countries, that's why they educate their children in Western countries.
Arabs buy property as an asset. Qatar is buying up london for the same reason they're buying European soccer clubs.
>. They prefer their home countries SO MUCH that as soon as they have the financial means to do it, they create a world for themselves and their children which is completely isolated from them.
You live in some mythical world completely separated from facts. Where do you see citizens of the GCC moving and staying forever in the West?

>Atheists face the punishment of death do not prefer their home countries.
There hasn't been a single atheist executed for being atheist in Saudi Arabia. They'd get throw in jail if they're open about with. And despite that, they prefer their country because of higher living standard and economic opportunity. Even the average atheist in Saudi supports the collective to a major extant.

>ALL Muslims, Arab or not, prefer Western countries to their own, if they could all feasibly immigrate to any Western country with the guarantee of staying there, they would.
You're retarded. Your conjecture is based on some view of the world to lessen your cognitive dissonance. Race and culture matters the most. And the people of the GCC do not want to move the West.

Arabs are heavily invested in other goods besides oils. Construction is a big game for them I think.

They have an ethnostate you dumb cunt. That means that the entire system is designed to enrich and give them privilege.
Our immigration system is designed to disenfranchise us.

>You're quite dumb if you think that's a thing. There is no such thing as a native of those places who speaks English better than Arabic.

BULLSHIT. There are tons of them. They're native born and can converse in Arabic, but they're native language is English since they're raised in English and sent to English-medium schools, their Arabic is rudimentary at best

North Africans are Arab/Berber mixed (90% of them) and Arabic is spoken by a majority of the population as a mother tongue, their dialect is called darija. Wealthy and privileged kids are educated in French and speak French at home, they can barely communicate in their native darija.

The elite from the entire Arab world are like this, they eat high on the hog in their home countries, that's the only reason they stay there for any length of time, but they have their backup Western homes ready as a fall-back should shit ever hit the fan. They don't send their kids to Arabic-medium schools, they send them to English or French-medium schools, they live in a world separate from the country in which they live.

Atheism is punishable by death in Saudi Arabia, it's punishable by death in a lot of Muslim countries, an atheist was sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia a few years ago for a blog he wrote.

Again, I don't know what the fuck you've been reading, but any Arab of sound financial means is ready to pull up stakes and leave for their homesteads in the West the second things start going south

Name a single citizen of the GCC that's like this. A single one.

>North Africans are Arab/Berber mixed (90% of them)
No, there is no Arab mix at all:
>Recent studies make clear no significant genetic differences exist between Arabic and non-Arabic speaking populations, The human leukocyte antigen HLA DNA data suggest that most Moroccans are of a Berber origin and that Arabs who invaded North Africa and Spain in the 7th century did not substantially contribute to the gene pool.[21][22] The Moorish refugees from Spain settled in the coast-towns.[23] According to a 2000 article in European Journal of Human Genetics, Moroccans from North-Western Africa were genetically closer to Iberians than to Sub-Saharan Africans of Bantu Ethnicity and Middle Easterners.[24]
>According to the X-Chromosome SNP analyses, the authors reported a high genetic homogeneity between berbers and Arabs in NW Africa, so they suggested that the Arabisation of this area was a cultural phenomenon, which did not imply a replacement of the ancestry population.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Moroccans#Genetic_evidence

>more conjectures from Amerimutt
The kids of the elites go back to their home, they don't stay in the West as you imply.

>an atheist was sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia a few years ago for a blog he wrote.
He's still in jail, not executed. But even if that was the case, the collective in those countries convinces people to stay because of importance of kinship.

Most of the people of GCC are wealthy enough to move to the Wwst permanently. Yet they don't. There is no Saudi, Emarati, Kuwait or Qatari neighborhood in the West.

>t. Amerimutt who wouldn't be able to point any of those countries on a map

>Name a single citizen of the GCC that's like this. A single one.

WE JUST FUCKING HAD ONE HERE LIKE TWO DAYS AGO. Look up that Saudi AMA thread, he's a native born Saudi rich kid and he says he can't speak Arabic that well, his English is perfect because he was raised in English and sent to English-medium schools his whole life

>No, there is no Arab mix at all:

Then why do they call themselves Arabs and speak Arabic? 90% of North Africans are mixed Arab/Berbers, meaning they're Berbers but consider themselves Arabs and speak in Arabic as their mother language

>The kids of the elites go back to their home, they don't stay in the West as you imply.

I said they stay in their countries, but their parents don't send them to regular schools, they live in a separate world in their own country, they come back from their uni abroad to work there and live there, but if things go south or if some instability pops up, they have everything ready to go to bailout and live in the Western world

They don't have a REASON to permanently resettle yet but they will as soon as trouble starts. Even the poorer Arabs have their own elites with houses and property in Spain and Italy, they ALL do this. They educated their kids in different schools in their own country, they send them abroad for university, they come back and live there, they spend holidays and vacation in their Western properties, and if anything ever goes wrong, they're ready to leave

I never said they stay here, I said they create their own world IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES and have their property in the West AS A BACK-UP if anything goes wrong for them there at home, if they could ALL feasibly immigrate here and never look back, they would, they don't really want to stay in a Muslim country, and if there's a problem, they wont

Sup Forums threads are not evidence. Anyone can have a Saudi flag in the country where 33% of people are not natives and make a MMA.

If it was so common, there'd be youtubers or known people that you could point to.

>Then why do they call themselves Arabs and speak Arabic?
Most Moroccans do not call themselves Arabs. They identify as Berber. They speak Arabic for the same reason West Africans speak French.

>but their parents don't send them to regular schools, they live in a separate world in their own country

They live among higher social class.

>but if things go south or if some instability pops up, they have everything ready to go to bailout and live in the Western world
That's an "if". A very different tone from your previous claims. Of course they'd move elsewhere if the society turned into a warzone like how Polish left to the Middle East during WW2. But it'll take major chaos, not just any kind of instability.

Westerners buy property in Dubai all the time and they don't even live there most of the time. You're not making any sense. People buy property to spend vacations, not as an emergency household.

>they create their own world IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES
You said "all Arabs", not just the elites. Your statement would only make sense about the elites which do so in every country. Still, I'd wager elites in those GCC countries less disconnected from the people of their race who are poorer than the individualist countries of the West, where the elites are completely separated.
>if they could ALL feasibly immigrate here and never look back,
They can.

Never claimed they didn't. Berbers are Caucasoid.
>do tell those reasons.
Because blood is thicker than water in Arabian societies. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar are tribalistic countries.
>we should excuse how and why they preach it?
No retard, learn to read. The claim was that even atheists would remain in a Muslim country because blood is thicker than water in those societies.

The dumb Lebanese has a hard time accepting it because his shithole of a country is divided heavily along religious lines. It's not a Christian majority country anymore. And he's mad that it lacks ethnocentric strength, which is why he denies importance of race.
>do I need to go on you dirty leaf?
You're an incompetent imbecile. Learn to read first. I'll ignore your replies from now on, until you show a level of intelligence above that of a subhuman.

You can see those people on Youtube, they're native born and raised Saudis yet they speak perfect English with British accents and can't speak Arabic very well, they exist, you just refuse to believe it for god knows what reason. You know how I know this is true? I was raised in an Arabic speaking country and I speak French better than Arabic

Have you ever spoken to a fucking North African? I have, plenty of times. When you ask if they're Berber or Arab, they say Arab.

Yeah, no shit, they live in a higher social class

Okay, you're either purposely misreading what I wrote before or you're making shit up, but let me break it down like this

In their own countries, they live in "Western World 1.0", they don't really live like normal people in their countries, the actual Western world is "Western World 2.0"

If for ANY reason they are suddenly forced to stop living in "Western World 1.0" and start living like an average person, they will abandon "Western World 1.0" and upgrade to "Western World 2.0", they won't upgrade to 2.0 as long as they can still live in "Western World 1.0", they live in a separate Westernized world in their own country, if for some reason, they have to live in a Muslim country like everyone else and their isolated pocket Western World goes away, they will leave and never look back

Yes, ALL Arabs would prefer to live in a Western country, even the nationalistic idiots would secretly confess they would prefer it

They can immigrate, but for now, they live in "Western World 1.0" which is their own little slice of the Western world in their own home country that the wealthy people have, they don't want to live in a Muslim country and since they're rich, they don't have to. They're physically in a Muslim country, but you'd never know it by the way they live, if that ever changes, the upgrade to "Western World 2.0" will be made because, like I said, no Muslim wants to live in a Muslim country

>Maghrebi Arabic (Western Arabic; as opposed to Eastern Arabic or Mashriqi Arabic) is an Arabic dialect spoken in the Maghreb region, in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Western Sahara, and Mauritania.

>I was raised in an Arabic speaking country and I speak French better than Arabic
Lebanon is not Arabic speaking. Its dialect doesn't count as Arabic. In fact there is no such thing as Arabic, it's a group of many languages. And Lebanon is not full of Arabs. Saudis, Qataris, Emaratis and others are just as close to Lebanese as Iranians are to them.
>Have you ever spoken to a fucking North African?
Yes. They mostly claim to be Berber. There are those who think they're Arab and they act flabbergasted when they take a DNA test showing no Middle East/West Asian ancestry. And saying you're X, doesn't mean you are. It's the same problem with South Asians in the UK who claim to be British ethnically.

>Yeah, no shit, they live in a higher social class
Which is why your so called observation was irrelevant.

>Western world 1.0 vs 2.0

Holy fuck you're retarded. The 82 average IQ is true. Even Nigerians are smarter than you at an IQ of 84.
There is no Western world version in their countries period. The west isn't tribalistic, it's not ethnocentric, it doesn't have the sexual norms they do, etc...

Only a shitskin retard like you would misunderstand the West and Westernization.
>ALL Arabs would prefer to live in a Western country,
They don't. Which is why they can live there but there isn't a single Qatari, Saudi, Emarati, Omani, Kuwait neighborhood in the West.

But there are rich Lebanese who form their own communities in the West, same with Palestinians, Iranians (especially them), Turks, etc...

This is from a documentary about Saudi Arabia, go to around 4 minutes and listen to that kid's accent, he is a Saudi, there are plenty of rich Saudi kids like him

I know there is no such thing as Arabic like there is no such thing as Chinese or Indian. Are you Arab? I can't even tell who the fuck Im talking to, you're Canadian so I just assumed you were either Chinese or Pakistani

I've never met a single one who claimed to be Berber, they all say they're Arab

What the fuck does having sexual norms have to do with anything? Does your average Arab have a membership at a country club or tennis club and meet for tea and coffee while they watch cricket and shop in their boutiques and have their maids and helpers serve them hand and foot? They may not be filming pornography but they're living a western lifestyle which is something most Arabs can't do

Yes, of course they do, what the fuck is making you think otherwise? Again, what the hell are you? Arab? Where are you getting these opinions from, what are you reading?

Modern Standard Arabic exists only in classrooms and textbooks.

I'm Lebanese. Guess who already knows that?

I'm not Lebanese although a Lebanese man told me I was.

Become the Jews.
They plan too but their projects are mad and they are being conned by the real Jews.
That's all Islam is anyway, an attempt to be the Jews. To be the chosen people was the birthright of the ancestor of all Muslims, he traded it away to his little brother for one meal (traded it for a mess of postage as the saying goes). His brother was one of famed forefathers of the Jews in the Bible. The whole story
is in there somewhere. That's why they hate the Jews - in the real scriptures muslims ancestors get various curses on them for all time, and are predicted to become exactly what they have become.
That's why in a mad jealous fit Muhammad has scrambled up and regurgitated it all. All Islam is is a typical Bible code cult with the typical one leader that knows the 'right' way to scramble the scriptures.
