They love indulging in it but also sneer at it (any culture not Khaleeji) . A classic case of hypocrisy. Most cultures are hypocritic on major societal views but the Gulf takes it to a level that only a few other regions can match.

The casual observer will not be able to tell apart a Pakistani and probably 70 % of Saudis but if you ever mistake a Saudi for Pakistani (someone of their own religion), you will never hear the end of how "we are different".

There is a reason why many people refer to Cricket as an uncivilized game because its the subcons who visibly play it

Yes. But we must also realize that many do not sneer at it. Maybe that is less visible, as usually that which displeases gets more attention than what does not.

If you see women as little more than personal property and children with no self-control, and other men as racially inferior to you, you'd easily do what this piece of shit is doing.
This is what I don't get though. If the above is the cultural norm, how can there be compromise within this culture? Seems a contradiction in terms:confused:

Both the original and the modified statements are true.
