We as people face different problems in all cultures, but we must strive to keep going, and trusting in my/our God. We must also realize that the higher power loves us all regardless of our culture and the way we exercise our faith determines that.<br /><br />In America, we face different challenges, but the struggle is the same. There is so much poverty, no jobs, struggling families just trying to make ends meet, yes here women can work, but if you are not highly educated then jobs are very hard to come by. Our capitalist system is geared up for big business, rich, and wealthy people only. <br /><br />So at least Saudi women will eventually get a chance to work as Housemaids and stand tall, so that they can help take care of there families. <br /><br />We need to pray for our world and all of our human race, and come together as the higher power intended us to. So continue to spread the word so change can come. <br /><br />Please feel free to visit my blog Thank you. <br /><br />ckc-averagesista.blogspot.comCKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175358353650516468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197893319710396244.post-2049556431063609542010-03-17T16:29:43.817-07:002010-03-17T16:29:43.817-07:00There is always double standard in Saudi Culture. ...There is always double standard in Saudi Culture. I am proud of other nationalities being housemaids because they earn their money out of hardwork.The saudi families are used to have been pampered by housemaids. However, saudis dont realized that all the houseworks are assumed by housemaids that tend the saudi wives to become lazy. The point is, lots of saudi women are unemployed. This is a dellima.I pray to Allah that one day, Saudi women will become housemaids so that they will realize how hard to be housemaids. Not all the time the gold spoon is served at your mouth. Allah is just and all-knowing. Time will come Saudi women will eat their prides. For sure not this time, but when the oil is drained then saudi women should ready themselves. Thats how I appreciates expats housemaids because they do their jobs because of needs and survival but with great honors and integrity. Expats women are women of great substance. They are more than a soldiers fighting taliban. Just imagine the cruelties and sexual abuses they get from their employers, they are fed with messy leftovers and to an extent they dont get food or even salaries. Some are vocals while others just keep silent.<br /><br />I know a lot of women expat housemaids who suffered at the hands of their employers.<br /><br />For our saudi women, wait for your turn. It is becoming very near to you--to become the NEXT HOUSEMAIDS in the middle east.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029154850425577178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197893319710396244.post-86128883968045241802010-03-17T07:07:32.905-07:002010-03-17T07:07:32.905-07:00You know I see where you are coming from.

You see I am Australian, I am a muslim alhumdallah, and i was supposed to get engaged, to a saudi. However his father and mother are of older generation do not approve because I am not Saudi and I dont follow the culture and tradition. It doesn't matter that I am a good muslim, that I wear abaya or I cover my face. I sit with saudi women, my friends are saudi but I am not good enough for them because I wasn't born in Saudi. Tell where does the Qur'an say it is ok to allow culture take over Islam. Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) married a slave and a jew. The King os Saudi is married to a forgiener. tell me how that is fair*Cinderella*https://www.blogger.com/profile/12695717322437465644noreply@blogger.com
