This land is (not) your land

The Arabs from the Middle East have come to feel very threatened by the presence of the Indians in the Gulf. By Arabs, I mean Palestinians, Syrians, Jordanians, Iraqis, Egyptians, Lebanese, and to some extent the Turks. You see, they have much more in common with Arabs in the Gulf, religion and language, and hence, see Indians as outsiders. Especially the great swarm from the Malabar coast.
Why should fellow Arabs and Muslims share the oil wealth with Indians?
This was the feeling when the times were good. It’s only going to get more acute now in the recession.
