Saudi Arabia deports 40,000 Pakistanis over jihad terror fears

Feb 19, 2017 9:05 am By Robert Spencer

Saudi Arabia is the world’s chief sponsor of jihad terrorism, but it doesn’t want it inside the Kingdom. Who knew that the House of Saud was full of racist, bigoted Islamophobes?

“Saudi Arabia ‘deports 40,000 Pakistani workers over terror fears,’” by Bethan McKernan, Independent, February 14, 2017:

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has expelled almost 40,000 Pakistani migrant workers in the last four months, local media has reported.

Over 39,000 people have been deported since October 2016 over visa violations and security concerns, the Saudi Gazette reported, citing unnamed interior ministry officials. As well as crimes including drug trafficking, forgery and theft, an unknown number of those removed from the country were suspected to have links to Isis and other extremist groups, the paper said.

The alleged mass deportations come after a year of strikes and other unrest in the kingdom due to unpaid wages following the oil market’s decline and subsequent blow to the Saudi economy.

Authorities in Saudi Arabia have used a viral party video to identify and arrest partygoers in the country.

Official Saudi statistics say that 243,000 Pakistanis were deported between 2012 – 2015. Mass deportations of migrant workers – which Human Rights Watch and other rights organisations say often involve illegal beatings and detainment in poor conditions – are fairly common….

    wow, for the house of Saud, wahhabism has come back to bite them in the A**

      Saudi Arabia is a double-faced beast. On the one hand, it spent trillions on promoting the deadly global wahhabi/salafi/takiri jihadism while at the same time, the ruling family of saud is scared that the same deadly jihadists their support will raise up and destroy their evil dynasty. Recently, a Saudi prince receives from the USA an award for ‘counter-terrorism’ activities. Read more:

        How does that differ from the jihadism spread and financed by your Iranian buddies?

    Salaam all,

    This neeeds perspective, and I have personal hardworking relatives who have been part of this “exercise” by the Sunni Saud. And I can personally vouch that they do not have an ounce of violent jahadi instinct in them.

    What the papers will not report to you (and Mr Spencer may be ignorant of this too, so I don’t blame him) is that they have not been paid for months. Any darkhast (request) for payment of wages (to the Saudi) for arrears …automatically puts them on the “terror” list for deportation. It is convenience par-excellence to take that line and deport people who have not been paid and that you have *no* intention of paying up either.

    My bhai Jaan tells me that many building firms have ran out of money or have had their contract cancelled by the “government” and many cranes stand idle. Many are glad to just get out of there, with a grim determination to build Pakistan rather than Saudi. We need to look after ourselves 1st.

    Many say that the Ummah is only cohesive when we have a common focus like the Kuffar… Ummah does not extend to the brothers like like it should.

    So many are saying that Pakistanis in Saud are only good enough to defend their oil fields, work for them like slaves, or provide a 3rd wife for these lazy peoples.

    Let them defend themselves, Pak peoples should come home and rebuild Pak… let the Saud sort themselves out by themselves.

    More Later …

    Rezali

      Not being paid and then called a “terrorist”.
      I have heard that something similarly horrid happens to females who think they’re going there for a job. Is there truth to that?

      • Islam the religion of killers says

        Feb 19, 2017 at 6:01 pm

        Not being paid ,, &
        how many trillions in the bank, ?
        how much real estate away offshore, ?
        how much oil revenue, reduced but still rolling in, ?
        how much did they spend on military ?
        how much did they spend on luxury, ?

        All while the US & Europe have their gates open, how many exported to create Islamic mayhem …
        This is not so much as “cleaning out” Saudi, this is about spreading the soldiers …….

UNLESS THIS SITUATION CHANGES THERE SHALL BE NO PROGRESS OF PAKISTAN. PAKISTAN HAS BECOME SWEET HOME OF TERRORISTS AND A DAY SHALL COME IN NEAR FUTURE THAT TERRORISTS SHALL TAKE OVER PAKISTAN

      Feb 19, 2017 at 1:51 pm

      I agree- the Pakistanis shoudl go back to pakistan and rebuild it.

      how about 40,000 Pakistanis leave the US from starting now (Feb 19th) and ending march 31.

      Then in April, start a second round of 40,000-and throw in Somalis and Syrians with them.

      Can you name a single Islamic country that can treat ‘other’ Muzzies better than most non-Muslim countries – including your homeland Pakiland, Rezi?

      The Religion that came from Sandlands doesn’t treat your kinds with any respect – the language is Arabic; culture is Arabic; manners and dress code is Arabic; the system orientation is Arabic … oh yeh … if you are a Pakistani – go back to where you belong – … do you EVER wonder why do you need to follow their death cult? Don’t you ever wonder their ‘prophet’ would have had your head on the platter because you didn’t fit their typical profile of a real Muzzie?

    • Vic says

      Mr. Spencer does mention the issue of the unpaid wages, but certainly your post elucidates more on the subject.
      Thanks!

    I think Saudi Arabia should worry about their own citizens rather the poor Pakistanis working there. Pakistan along with Saudi Arabia are the source of Islamic terror but I doubt the Pakistani workers are the real problem. Saudi Arabia wants to send them back home on any pretext may be due to their own bad economic conditions.

      Have you heard of Japanese internment camps in America during WWII by a Democrat president named FDR?

      How about all out Muslim internment camps now in America for all sorts of Islamic terrorism in America and in all over the world???

      But, you will notice how both Democrats and Republicans in America unite to defend Islam and Islamic terrorism — by repeatedly saying “Islam has nothing to do with ongoing global terrorism” — to prevent any such Muslim internment camp in America in order to appease Saudi Arabia!

      Saudi have to have lots of immigrants because the Saudi nationals are so thick and lazy, they do all sorts of stupid stuff and try their hardest not to work, if a saudi has a long honourable & impressive looking job title they are happy.
      All is they want to do is be more impressive than others and immigrants suit the moxy ….

      They have hundreds of hi tech fighter jets with all the “superpower” BS that goes with that, but can’t maintain any of them, if it wasn’t for US tech’s most of them wouldn’t be flying ..
      And it’s the same down the employment chain, they want to get rid of as many foreigners as they can but the country would stall, the oil would stop pumping,,,, the teleco’s & power would fail, the water desalination plants would stop, without the west Saudi would revert back at a high pace….

      of course it never will because of the money

    The State Constitution of Saudi Arabia is al’Quran itself.

    Therefore, anyone who criticizes the words of Allah (i.e., al’Quran), according to Islamic Jurisprudence in Saudi Arabia, is given death penalty via public beheading.

    According to Islamic Shariat in Saudi Arabia, death penalty by public beheading can be imposed for a wide range of offences including murder, rape, false prophecy, blasphemy, armed robbery, repeated drug abuse, apostasy to Islam, adultery, witchcraft, idol-worship, sorcery, and political dissent.

    Following sentences are taken from award-winning author and journalist Janine di Giovanni’s world famous Newsweek piece that Ms. Giovanni wrote for world’s all non-believers of Allah and for world’s all non-believers of Allah’s last messenger Muhammad:

    LINK

    http://www.newsweek.com/2014/10/24/when-it-comes-beheadings-isis-has-nothing-over-saudi-arabia-277385.html

    ‘Yet, for all the outrage these executions have engendered the world over, decapitations are routine in Saudi Arabia, America’s closest Arab ally, for crimes including political dissent — and the international press hardly seems to notice!

    In fact, since January, 59 people have had their heads lopped off in the kingdom, where “punishment by the sword of Islam” has been practiced for centuries.

    In 2013, there was a surge in beheadings, from the beginning of the year until June/July.

    Then almost none.

    This seems to indicate that someone in the Saudi administration is obliged to maintain a certain level of deaths by public beheading.

    Saudi Dept. of Interior stopped at 79 beheadings in 2013, the same number from the previous year!

    So, what’s it like to be beheaded there?

    Your last morning on Earth would likely be spent in isolation.

    You would rise early and eat a last breakfast.

    If you are lucky, you might receive a sedative, like Valium, to calm your nerves.

    Executions usually take place in the morning, before the oppressive heat of the desert kingdom takes hold, in a public square.

    Muslim people will gather to watch you die.

    Before you arrive, Saudi police and Saudi security forces will have prepared the area.

    It may have been cordoned off to keep curious spectators at a distance, but they will congregate nonetheless.

    You will be led to the center of the square, on the bare earth.

    According to one of Saudi Arabia’s state executioners, Mohammed Saad al-Beshi, who was interviewed in the Saudi newspaper Arab News in June 2003, your energy is likely to fade at this point, from sheer exhaustion and fear.

    You will not fight for your life, nor protest against your restraints.

    At the square, you will be forced to your knees.

    Plastic bags are spread out over the surrounding area to catch the blood that will spill when your head is sliced off, with a single blow of the sword if you are lucky.

    The executioner — always a man– is not allowed to talk to his victim.

    The executioner reads your charge and some verses from the Quran.

    You are blindfolded, which is extremely important, and not for humanitarian reasons.

    If, when the sword is coming down, you turn in fearful anticipation, things could get messy.

    The blade might not sever with a single chop, or the executioner could miss his mark.

    The blood won’t be neatly caught by the plastic bags, and the head might not be so easy to scoop up.

    You will be dressed in something that leaves the soft skin of your neck exposed.

    Your hands are bound together behind your back.

    It’s better for all concerned to stay still, as is clear from a video of the execution of Rizana Nafeek, a 24-year-old Sri Lankan maid who was accused of murdering her employee’s 4-month-old son.

    Rizana Nafeek swayed from side to side, making her execution sloppier than most.

    Rizana Nafeek pleaded not guilty, saying the baby choked on his milk bottle!

    Rizana Nafeek was beheaded anyway for the alleged crime Rizana Nafeek refused to plead guilty, in January of 2013.

    Some excited noises might come from the gathered Muslim crowd.

    “They are used to seeing it,” says Sevag Kechichian of Amnesty International.

    According to British author John R. Bradley, public beheadings are the “only form of public entertainment” in Saudi Arabia, aside from football matches!

    If you are a condemned prisoner in Riyadh, the capital, you might be taken to the ocher-colored Deera Square, which has acquired a macabre sobriquet: Chop Chop Square.’

      Isn’t it astonishing that American govt. banned Iranians from entering the United States, who had nothing to do with Islamic terrorism in Boston, Texas, Florida, California, Ohio, and New York, but allowed Pakistanians, Saudi Arabians, and Egyptians to freely enter the United States?

      American govt. constantly threatens the Islamic Republic of Iran with economic and military sanctions to appease the House of Saud.

      One may ask: Why?

      The answer is not actually the easy access to cheap Saudi crude oil or Saudi investments of over 1,500,000,000,000 U.S. dollars in world’s capital markets.

      Rather, the real answer is in American government’s twisted military-political intentions to maintain perpetual global hegemony on non-believers of Allah and on non-believers of Allah’s final messenger!

    The alleged mass deportations come after a year of strikes and other unrest in the kingdom due to unpaid wages following the oil market’s decline and subsequent blow to the Saudi economy.

    For all I know about the Saudis, the blanket of “suspected terrorists” is simply a handy excuse to get rid of people they deem undesirable. Like workers who go on strike for not getting paid.

  16. WBSM says

    Feb 19, 2017 at 5:05 pm

    Even from the article it seems to me that this is quite the normal number of deportations… but at least not much more than the normal number. Saudis import people for work as they would import cattle. And the faulty or problematic ones are sent back. Just read up before swallowing everything: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_workers_in_Saudi_Arabia
