Women's rights in Middle East?
The countries U name, not forgetting Iran, IRA and hosts of others, are not sovereign states, democratic or otherwise in any way whatsoever relating to the none Muslim World. People talk of their laws, their sovereignty etc which is non existent, therefore the question inevitably arises ie, what indeed are they in turn referring to? Take Saudi as a prime example! No laws ever debated or voted into the staute books in the manner of a democratic free parliment, compromise, adjustment, subject to later amendment or repeal as determined. Only decree's handed out and implemented - none of the above allowed - any/ll opposition crushed usually on pain of death! All what purports to laws no more than written words in the form of decrees written by the men of the 1 family (Sauds) who totally control / rule the country by the sword, the knife and the gun, aided and abetted by their equally unelected clerics and their religious police. No education. Only Islamic indoctrination from the cradle to the grave - administered and governed also by unelected clerics. Women, treated less tha animals. And what is done in their countries to alleviate such catostrophic creeds of ancient bygone medievel dark days. Nothing, nothing, nothing. I.e. The Saudis, muslims in other countless countries who oppose it in their millions sit - scared shitless - to defy it!. Answer that and you'll see why it will never changes. They are too indoctrinated to think for them selves and thus equally unable to muster and stand against it! . No one is elected. All laws are those as written by men, handed down by men, governed by men. No one ever questions it! And that, as credited here by others, is what they term are the free laws and equitable santity of deemed Soverign and free societies! Such miscredited nonsense is hypocritical in the extreme! Prove it to be incorrect?
What is the best Middle Eastern/Muslim country for expats to live in: Turkey, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait or another?
If you want a large salary, go to Qatar, where although the costs are the highest in the region, the average salary is $120,000.For a better, more relaxed lifestyle, go to Turkey, probably the friendliest country of the four, and of course compared to the rental cost of an apartment in Qatar ($2500) and the UAE ($2000), a nice apartment in Istanbul or Ankara will cost about $900 per month.For a more westernized lifestyle, go to the UAE, where the majority of ME region expats are going, and of course it has more job opportunities than the other countries.These are major countries, but you did miss a few that I will point out to you.Not many people think of this as a foreigner-friendly place, but Iran is getting more and more opportunities for foreigners by the minute. If you are a professional, check out Recruitment & Jobs for Iranian Professionals, where there are currently 1000 jobs available. The salary for english teachers is low in Iran's public schools, at about $1500/month, but rent in central Tehran is only about $350/month for a studio (goes cheaper when you head south), and the salary for private school teachers runs at about $3000/month, higher than the $2000 standard in China. Plus locals are very welcoming to foreigners.This is a growing destination, that has overcome the uprisings in 2011. Bahrain has a growing job market, and is much cheaper than neighbouring states Qatar and the UAE, with average rent at about $1250, half of the Qatari standard, and is widely renowned as one of the more liberal states of the gulf region.Finally, not many people view a destination with zero elections as a great place to live, but you'll be surprised. Oman is also known as a more liberal destination in the gulf, and is, behind Iran, the cheapest destination, where a 2-bed apartment runs at about $650, with cheaper accomodations available. Oman has jobs in almost every sector because of the fact that Oman has less oil than its richer neighbours, and has a much more relaxed lifestyle than the other states. Oman's government has diverted most terrorist threats, and is very safe.For all these countries, check out http://bayt.com for jobs in all these nations, and there is also aljazeera jobs and classifieds and community for expatriates. Good luck!
Why do qualified engineers and doctors from India go abroad?
India went through phases of emigration under the British Rule. This trend continued in India which adopted socialistic policies that supported controlled economic growth. Under the British Rule, several Indians migrated to countries in the East and West Indies, Mauritius and to African countries as indentured labourers and as trading entrepreneurs, and to Australia as convicts (taken by the British). These emigrants stayed on to establish successful lives in the countries where they initially moved. Seeing this trend, more and more Indians voluntarily left their country in search of better opportunities overseas.In recent years, migration has been of primarily three types, family unification, professionals moving for career or business opportunities to the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Australia and Canada labourers and entrepreneurs moving to the Middle Eastern booming economies.Recently, the exodus of Indian doctors, engineers and academician to foreign countries America, Britain and gulf countries was found. These professional wish to retain these profession in the above fields and want to utilize their services for the nation and fellow-countrymen.India is a significant contributor to this phenomenon. it is exporting talent internationallyin a big way and is considered to be a significant 'threat' internationally. India, of course,is not alone. But given its vast and rapidly increasing English speaking workforce India isemerging as a major supplier of international talent.
Are Muslim immigrants in the West parasites or contributors?
I´ve read that in many European countries, muslim immigrants constitute just five percent of the population but consume upwards of 40 percent of the welfare spending and that Muslim immigrants are four times as likely to be receiving welfare as non-Muslims. So, muslim immigrants in the Western Europe are parasites who take much more than they give? And what is the situation in the USA?
Why is the philippines considered a melting pot of different culture?
the philippines is just one of the many "melting pot" places around the world... the best example would be the US of A, but to answer why the philippines is also considered one... -the phils have always been a trading stopping point since people started wandering the open seas by boat & foreign traders do end up staying a while, intermarrying & also living there -it was also a major interest for the different conquistadores, pirates, sea marauders, the US & the japanese in wwII -people also just routinely pass, & come & go or stay through the thousands of islands that litter the archipelago -& people from every part of world have started to retire in, migrate or work in the country because of the people's grasp of the english language & western culture, the weather & the warmth of the people. -so you just have to imagine the variety of ethnicities that inhabit the country now... & so today one can hardly define who a filipino is... one can venture that a filipino is of a mixed asian descent (middle eastern, northern, & southern) with european/caucasian blood (spanish, portuguese, british, etc.) mixed in... but mostly northern american in culture... (unique at least in that part of the world)
Are women treated better in IsΙam than in the West?
Islam values women for their humanity, intellect, passion and motherhood. We refuse to treat them like sex-objects; we prefer that they dress modistly, and keep the attention of men concentrated on what they (women) have to say, and not on how their breasts, silky hair, and makeup painted faces look. When women expose their physical beauty, you find men looking at women as if they were sex-objects, and that's very degrading to women...In the West women are used to attract men...In the stores...Advertisements, marketting, singing and dancing...All to exploit their sexuality and make money off of them...Women, in the West, are mere commodities, and their most important qualities lie in their physical beauty. We, in Islam, don't want that...We want women to be looked upon as human beings..Rather than looking at their physical beauty, we want our attention to be on what women have to say and do...We want women to be doctors, politicians, engineers etc. And in Iran, there are more female congresswomen than there are in the U.S. There are more female scientists in Iran than there are in the U.S. we still, as Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) had commanded us to do...We still regard the mothers as sacred, and upsetting them is like upsetting God: Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) says: "The paradise is under the feet of mothers." In another quote for the Prophet, when asked by a man: "Whom should I serve better, my mom or dad?" The Prophet's answer was: "your mother, your mother, your mother and then your father." In the Quran, on the other hand, the Quran says: "And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination" (Quran, 31:14). ---
Why are Filipinos different from other Asians?
Usually, when I see Asians, they tend to be quiet and serious. However, filipinos are different. They tend to party compared to other Asians. Also, Filipinos are the only Asians that tends to date outside of their race. Mainly, most Asians tends to be engineers and doctors while Filipinos tend to nurses. Why is that? I'm Filipino too so I notice these sorts of characteristics about them.
