Brother Vijay posted very nice story. I visited Saudi, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain and other Middle East countries several times but I did not face such a situation. It could happen in rural areas. I found two types of people, one are very liberal (so called modern or opportunists) and others rude (so called Islamists or terrorists in some Racist/fascist language).

I remember very well when Saddam Hussain invaded Kuwait, Liberals are the ones who ran away to Saudi and other countries overnight but other so called rude/terrorists like people fought with Saddam back and also provide lots of help and distributed water and bread to all expats (Indians, Pakistanis, Philipino etc.) for several months. So, all five fingers are not same.

You will see big difference among Indian people who live in villages and cities. City people thinks they are very educated, modern and open minded but Village people call them selffish people if any unknown person goes to Indian village they treat him like Goddess. They will provide food and other things and lot of time but if same person came to City no one even ask for what purpose he came to city even they don't tell right way where to go. This I noticed in New Delhi/Bombay. So, same situation in Arab countries. Other problems because of Maids. Most of the mothers do not give proper time to their children and all of them are sported by Indian, Indonesian or Philipino maids and all the time these kids beat them and these innocent people do not know how to handle these kids because of language barrier and also afraid that their parent will be anery if they take hard action. So always dig the real cause rather than blaming some one.
