You can't force someone to respect you but you can refuse to be disrespected..There is another 1 also..100 shoes and 100 onion..

Afghans ? Yes put everything on others and close the eyes without facing reality

Bro I think your problem is the same as my sister who has now unfortunately left the world. She, while living in US loved US too much and when in Canada, Canada too much. The point is it is easy to get attached with the people of the place you live in, like you have a positive image of Saudis.

This move by Kuwait will deeply harm Pakistan as remittances are one of the main methods for Pakistan to earn. Of course that doesn't mean US ban is any better, it should be condemned equally. But for me this ban by Kuwait is far more serious as there are 150000 Pakistanis there who have worked very hard in that country. Plus Indians and Phillipinos aren't banned. We can even take their place but instead of that happening our numbers are systematically being reduced.

This belief that the members of the ummah will do nothing that weakens Pakistanis is a fundamental flaw in Pakistani thinking. Even Saudi has pushed many Pakistani mobile sellers out of business by proclaiming only locals can sell mobiles in said country. This is worse, as a decline in Pakistani expatriate numbers will directly result in fewer remittances and spending power the bulk of expatriates have.

His primary focus is Muslim countries...He is playing dirty...The Muslim countries he didn't ban are also about to go through extreme vetting, he said.....

Moreover, he exempted Jews living in those Muslim majority nations...His words are encouraging @ssholes to come out in open more confidently and attack Muslims...

Mosque in Texas has been burnt down...In your country, Canada, 6 men of Muslim faith got killed in a mosque...

Note : I have nothing against Jews.



As far as I have read, ban on Pakistanis come into place after Afghan refugees, with fake identity of Pakistan, got arrested in Kuwait due to some serious crime, which led Kuwaiti authorities to ban Pakistan...

"instability" "Extremism" "Violence "..My friend read the words and line you will understand its not about just normal crimes.We need to do the same in a way it convey message to them

My point is very simple.. As said by Jinnah "If somebody slap you once it is his mistake and if you get other then its your mistake"..Paksitan should pay back to anyone in same coin ..whoever it is..Those who are not loyal to there motherland can't be loyal to anyone else.

Regarding expat in any country i think 1 day everybody has to go back so its not an issue..Further mobile seller in KSA are mostly indians or Bangladeshi

Pakistan included in list over a dispute between Govt of Pakistan And Kuwait, Visas for Pakistanis banned since 2010 only they renew existing visas. Problem starts when Kuwait executes Pakistan family over drug smuggling without giving them fair chance and they wants to executes another family Pakistan strongly object this decision so they have release them but after that they put ban on Pakistan.

You are speaking of Kuwait and this ban, but my question to you is for addressing the root cause of the problem.
Why are countries counting Pakistan with such countries like Syria, Afghanistan and others?
How to solve the extremist problem in Pakistan?
Kindly provide your views for the above point's.

 

[Jugger]

Indiot Pakistan was banned 6 or 7 years back over one drug case in which Pakistan accuses Kuwait for not giving proper council access to victims.

You still didn't answer the question my friend, please stop beating around the bush and post something constructive.
My question is not about this Kuwaiti ban, its about the global perception of your country and how to change it.

Pakistan's responsibility is too look after our interests

Only security and growth will change perceptions and both are coming

In the meantime making concessions on national interest like Kashmir for foreign applause is short term gain at much expense

Trump - USA (yet only Psycho)

Who needs Kuwait? It's like a minnow, a fake country anyways.

Citizens from five Muslim-majority countries will no longer be able to obtain Kuwaiti visas, after reports the Gulf state issued tight entry restrictions that mirrored US President Donald Trump's Muslim ban.

Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians, Pakistanis and Afghans will not be able to obtain visit, tourism or trade Kuwaiti visas with the news coming one day after the US slapped its own restrictions on seven Muslim-majority countries.

Passport holders from the countries will no lot be allowed to enter the Gulf state while the blanket ban is in place and have been told not to apply to visas.

Kuwaiti sources told local media that the restrictions were in place due to the "instability" in the five countries and that the ban would be lifted once the security situation improves.

Pakistan and Afghanistan have all witnessed violence from extremist groups, while Syria and Iraq are embroiled in internal conflicts.

Although mainly peaceful, tensions between Iran and the Gulf have ratched up over the past year with the GCC powers accusing Tehran of attempting to destabalise the region.

Kuwait is concerned about the threat of extremist groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group with both militant organisations have a presence in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The Gulf state has witnessed a number of militant attacks over the past two years, including the bombing of a Shia mosque in 2015 which left 27 Kuwaits dead.

Kuwait responded by arresting dozens of suspected Daesh sympathizers and rolling out mandatary DNA testing programme and database for the Gulf state's 4 million population.

Kuwait reportedly issued a ban on all visas for Syrians in 2011, but allowed those inside the country to remain.

It made Kuwait the only country in the world to officially bar entry to Syrians, until the US named Syria in seven countries banned from entering.

Kuwait has issued a number of laws targeting foreigners in recent years, and made it one of the most unfriendly Gulf states towards expatriates.

In 2015, Kuwait was named as the worst place in the world for expatriates in a 64 country InterNations survey.

Meanwhile, Trump's Muslim ban has been met with widespread outrage since it was signed on Friday, although Gulf states have remained quiet on the issue.

Dubai security chief Dhahi Khalfan outraged Syrians and other nationalities included in the ban when he publically backed Trump's decision.
