``All of them are commonly brown, and most (except Punjabis, like me) are pretty short.``

I find it inaccurate. Neither all Punjabis are tall nor all non-Punjabis(author gave this term) are short.

Hi,
The article was hilarious and I really enjoyed reading it. However I am against people reading this article and painting all the arabs with the image or arrogance and racism. before I cams to US, I despised ALL arabs based on info received from many people visiting gulf countries. But after I met some saudis and even amaratees (UAE guys) I decided for myself not to generalize people as some of the them are more down to earth and less racist and are as pissed off at racist arabs as we are. Atleast they dont have as much punjabi muhajir sindi bla bla bla partisan-ship as we Pakistanis have!!!

cheers,

danish

excellent article,,,,, i live in a town full of arabs (saudi) students...most of them hav their desi servants who they cant take a step without...and not to mention they are so arrogant.... Sure u have the money and u can afford the lavish life style but much respect to all the people who actually do the work in ur country to earn u to the money and the status u so brag of!

This is more like a 3 hour pakistani picture whose name was Kaliyon ka chaman ( land of flowers ) and the movie was shot in a desert .... mr haroon should really consider hanging on with the topic rather than flirting around with the driving situations in Saudia Arabia.

Pakistanis most of whom are short ``(except Punjabis, like me)`` => who are dumb and have an affinity for barn yard animals.

This is probably one of the most amazing pieces of journalism, sooo verry true of Saudi arrogance. Damm wachkos think they are superior, why, i have no idea. A fine example of why Israel should smack these idiots in their place. They claim to be the home of islam, yet somehow they have managed to ignore very pillar of the religion both in spirit and practice. Believe me, i have lived among these arrogants wannabe imperialists. Bunch of freaks, and I`m from Pakistan.

If Musharraf had an ounce of sense in him, he would pull those Paki troops stationed there to protect these arrogant pigs, then lets see them strike a brown man. My guess is 99% of them would be getting in a fetal position with their harems begging for our help.
BIG SMILES ;)

No 84,

The book is available here

http://www.xlibris.com/myfirstpolicestate.html

There is also a new chapter excerpt up on that page.

Otherwise you can find it on Barnes & Noble or Borders websites. ``My First Police State,`` by Haroon Moghul.

Excellent piece!

Though I happen to know a Filipino who knew exactly where the rest of the country is and now is safely in some other land.

And it seems they have removed the publication from the xlibris site. Where can I procure the book from?

the arrogance in which this article was wrtitten is beyond me. i do agree that Saudi Arabia is still going through some weird shit since the beginning of its existence, but to generalize things in this way is not so smart, i have lived in Saudi Arabia and i have mixed with the people and currently have a few Saudi friends who are perfectly normal, but in accordance to what is written here anyone ignorant of this country would think it is full of chauvenistic violent men and beliedancers living in a landfill of oil. it is not true.. i`ve been in Pakistan for almost a month and if i were to be such an ignorant and judgemental individual i would say that this is the most degrading place for a woman to be. i walk in the market place and i feel raped by the way men look at me, i wish it was like Saudi where women have to be veiled and arent allowed to drive, maybe thse people on the streets would have some more respect. but i dont go out of my way to bash the general public here because i know that this sort of ignorance and sexual deprivity is common in supressed soceities, which no one can argue about , neither pakistani nor saudi.

Fosa (#81),

Are you feeling alright? Apparently you are still fuming over partition of India. Get over it Sahib … its been a loooong time … otherwise your schizophrenia will only get worse. While we have Urstruly to deal with … it seems that India is similarly cursed with folks like you. Live and let live dude ...

PS: You should have rubbed some “brown paint” on your face as well … if you know what I mean ... it would have suited your prefectly ...

Ras,

I know … I know … sometimes I am a bit harsh on our internet mullah … who dreams of one day becoming a salahuddin … but in all likelihood will probably continue to slave away for a jew for the remainder of his life … while cursing ahmadis … and ibm … and I consider him fair game for a few reasons …

He epitomizes ignorance to the hilt. His close association with drama and ideological absurdity makes it difficult to blast his ideas … without inadvertently hitting him. Secondly … at times he takes jibes at ahmadis … but refuses to elaborate when taken to the task. Sometimes I rub him a tad bit harshly … but he quickly gets back on his feet and moves on to hurling insults at gays, women, or anyone who does not support jihad in kashmir or has no interest in learning fiqah … life as usual … till he says something outrageous … and I happen to have a little time on my hand … and we keep going … it is a dysfunctional rivalry that has evolved over the years … punctuated with cynicism, jibes, and humor … but since neither of us is trying to find a cure for cancer … its not so bad after all …

In any case, your concern is valid, and worth keeping in mind as we move forward …
