If we want to talk about the rights of foreigners in Saudi Arabia, this subject is long as it has a beginning but no end is yet in sight, which will ultimately protect the dignity of the Arab citizen who works in Saudi Arabia. It is well known that Saudi Arabia applies what is known as the sponsorship system. What is the sponsorship system? It is at the least described as racism and slavery because no citizen (Arabi in particular) can go to Saudi Arabia to work unless he has a sponsor, and the sponsor is someone who has Saudi nationality and has all the rights that the Saudi state guarantees to him and all duties, but the sponsor can deport the sponsored person whenever he wants and however he wants. You will find that what the sponsor says is valid and in effect on the sponsored. He can even fake a charge against him, and the sponsored one cannot defend himself, or the sponsor can be faking his charge to force him to do what he wants, and for your information, the sponsored can be a man or a woman. Even, that the sponsor has half of the funds with which the sponsored person works according to what I heard recently. So, the least that this system can be described - the sponsorship system - that it is an unfair slavery system that drags a lot of disadvantages and causes most of the crimes that occur in Saudi Arabia recently. We find that the sponsored person killed the sponsor because of his clear injustice by torturing him and controlling his living. We also find a sponsored (female) that has seen what she does not like in her sponsor or rather what violates her dignity and honor, freedom and humanity. Yes, this stupid system has caused misfortunes to the Saudis. Even to the point that the news may have shown a few days ago that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia wants to cancel the sponsorship system, not only for the sake of the sponsored but because he has finally realized that it is unjust slavery and has digested the rights of the sponsored foreigner who works in town, but also because he was assured that this system is a risk for him and the State because it caused many of the crimes, calamities and drawbacks in Saudi Arabia - so much so that I heard that some Saudis who sponsor people who are Arabs or non-Arabs, from Filipinos, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and others do not work and rely only on what's in it for them from this warranty in the conduct of their lives. In summary, most of the rights of foreign workers are digested in Saudi Arabia because of the laws imposed by the state on foreigners who are working there.

Many Asian workers in Saudi Arabia suffer grievously as a result of their living conditions that can only be condemned in a rich and blessed country, which was the home of the revelation and the start point of the Mohammedan message that call for good treatment and respect for others and preservation of their rights. In addition, the foreign worker in Saudi Arabia suffers from the countless decisions and laws that are against the foreign workforce and help the employers, who have forgotten the fear of God, to exploit the poor workers. Many of the foreign workers in Saudi Arabia are from Asian countries, which are among the world's poorest countries that suffer from famine. Such workers go to Saudi Arabia out of their need to help their families and their children. However, the rights of the majority of those workers are stolen because they do not receive the deserved salaries for their work. The foreign labor suffers from pathetic living conditions in Saudi Arabia, and the Saudi government is aware of such things and they are also aware of the wrong decisions and laws that embitter the ire of the foreign workers in the kingdom, which grant the sponsor the right to deal with them as he wishes and in such a way that suits his interests at the expense of the interests of poor people who are helpless and who have no option but to obey in spite of the injustice that they face.

Everything has something and when there is nothing it becomes absurd and the people who were born in this country treat the same foreign worker. I mean a foreigner in the sense of Filipino, Bengali and Indian. These nationalities do not want to stay in Saudi Arabia. The amounts of money go out either to Asia, Yemen or more especially Hadhramis who come from their homes to work with regard to relatives and trade, through which the country grows as well as their love for this country. The greatest proof is the program of Hadhramis migration. God, please save our King the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques the Crown Prince Nayef and support them against whoever ruins this pure country.

O people, this regime doesn't between differ good and bad people. I am a Palestinian young man and my father was born in this country 55 years ago. I am the son of this country and I am 25 years old now. However, we are still being treated like foreigners who came to Saudi Arabia last month. I wish we would be exempted by a special decision that will grant us residence permit with special rights to honor us for our efforts in the building of this state during the long period that we spent here. We do not need the citizenship, but we want this simple system to be fair with us. The goodness will remain in my nation until the end of the Hour, as stated by the Prophet, peace be upon him. I hope that you will not neglect us.

Honestly, the decision is very good, but was applied to expatriates before the citizens. 60% of the expatriates came through selling the visas from Saudis or other expatriates. If this system was applied in this stage, the type of expatriates in our country will be better and we will notice that most of them would be educated. The negative consequences of this decision for the Saudis will not exceed depriving some citizens from forming fake institutions and selling thousands of visas to the expatriates to receive sums from them on a monthly basis. Of course, this is prohibited according to the fatwas of the scholars of Saudi Arabia, because it harms the home and the expatriates. Secondly, the companies will be better for the citizens and the expatriates, and will allow them to know all the laws of the country and the penalties of the different violations of the laws and regulations. This system will guarantee the rights of all parties and the citizen will be the first one to benefit from this new system.

I wish that the decision will be executed and the system would be based on outsourcing, i.e. companies to recruit and then distribute to companies that need workers or employees. Every company applies to the outsourcers or the government-owned companies to request the number that they want and this, of course, would be considered a source of income to the government. After that, we can get Visa card, marry and do whatever we want without the consent of the sponsor.

I wish that the reports about canceling the sponsorship system were real and we wish that there would be no delay in this respect because I swear this system humiliates all the forigners because the sponsors do not fear God in their employees ever. We suffer from the negative aspects of this servitude-like system. I ask God to make this law see the light as soon as possible before it is too late. I also call on the clergy to issue fatwas against the unjustifiable law of sponsorship, which is like servitude because the worker who wants to make a living and finds good treatment and receives his rights completely without any procrastination will never leave his work. Finally, I call on the employers to fear God and to respect human rights.

The sponsorship system must end because it has nothing similar to it in the civilized world. The Egyptian citizen travels to the western states and enjoys all citizenship rights including residence, citizenship, unemployment insurance, retirement pension, and freedom of movement. The western state turns into another home for him. However, the opposite happens in Saudi Arabia where there is no insurance or pension, but domination and constraints on the freedom of movement. They also refuse to grant you residence after long years of service. After this, is it possible to make comparison between the Islamic and non-Islamic states? I want to hear the answer from any fair person!

Dear brothers, I am a Saudi citizen and I am very happy with this news because I always call for canceling the sponsorship system. Dear brothers, the sponsorship in Saudi Arabia is really slavery. To verify this, just imagine that you traveled to any state to study and work and then you were forced to be linked with a person (the sponsor). This sponsor confiscates your passport, controls your activities, and even takes money from you under the pretext that he is the one who provided you with this job and provision. Dear brothers, the provision is from God and no one can take the money of a worker under the pretext of being his sponsor. This is ill-gained money because you took it without right and without any effort. Believe me, the conditions of the country will be better and the professional workforce will come to Saudi Arabia after cancellation of the sponsorship system.

The strange thing is that the Muslims do not apply anything from Islam other than prayer, pilgrimage, and fasting, while the infidels apply all the other teachings of Islam as if they had been taught it since their childhood. Isn’t this strange? If the Arabs and the Muslims want a successful revolution, then they have to start with themselves, and before anyone of you writes a comment to abuse Muslims because they live in another state, he must ask himself first what the point is. What will I get if I do this? We are one nation and we follow the same religion. We are brothers, but we apply brotherhood in words only. We do not respect our Arab brotherhood, let alone our acts! Before you blame the Arab governments for hating each other, you must blame yourself first.

As for women expatriates in Saudi Arabia, many were employed as domestic servants and, thus, they were vulnerable to human rights violations because of their isolation in private homes and excluding them from many of the guarantees and rights at work. Some women are lucky and enjoying good working conditions as well as good employers, otherwise, they are treated as slaves. Bail in Saudi Arabia is an existing system, but it could be used illegally. This is due to the person himself, whatever laws or regulations are used, if these people do not consider Allah in implementing them, it is possible that they would have gaps to be exploited by others, whether the sponsor or the sponsored. Thus, Saudi Arabia needs to improve workers' rights laws and end the sponsorship system.

The rights of foreign workers in Saudi Arabia are denied, just like in their home countries. Still worse, they work for the subcontractors who do not fear Allah. Indeed, the latter oblige workers to engage in more than one job for the same salary. Besides, subcontractors think that workers are ready to do anything in order to get money. They think that they would accept to plunge into fire, if asked to do so. Of course, this is not true. In fact, workers leave their homeland and their families for a living. They want to offer them a better life. Indeed, none would be happy to work abroad. Foreign workers are forced to leave their homes because they do not have any other alternative. They do not have job opportunities in their homelands. They accept to work in any country. Therefore, they might become the victims of scams by some subcontractors. In fact, they work day and night and for several months in order to get a salary. Eventually, the employer could call for his deportation under any pretext. However, both the good and the evil exist in this world. In fact, some other subcontractors do fear Allah when they deal with weaker people. Yet, at the same time some workers work hard while their rights are denied. However, foreign workers in Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia, are compelled to work and toil for a living even if they do not receive their rights to the fullest. They are convinced that they would suffer even more in their homelands. Therefore, the embassies of these people are supposed to solve at least part of their problems. They should defend the rights of their citizens and protect them against oppression. In so doing, they show that they are responsible for their people. In this respect, the great Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, said “the employee shall be given his right before the sweat dries”. Let us abide by the instructions of the Holy Prophet in order to avoid oppression.

The oil, which should have been an effective way for the development of the Arab countries and a tool to lift the Arab people of the conditions of poverty and underdevelopment, has become a way to suppress those people and prevent their development. However, the largest part of this oil is being used to buy more weapons, control systems and as a means of repression and torture. Their only concern is to tighten control on the political and administrative restrictions on the people, and withhold their right to express their legitimate wishes and aspirations, thus preventing them from their natural right to political participation and share of enormous national resources. Saudi Arabia is the largest oil exporter in the world and has the largest oil reserves on the planet. Hundreds of thousands of its citizens still live a life of poverty, nomadism and illiteracy, away from the aspects of luxury, satiety and patterns of Western life experienced by the princes of the House of Saud and their allies, as well as the loyal tribal leaders and the businessmen agents of the House of Saud. It is not only Saudi Arabia. The UAE, for instance, could not see serious development in the country. However, all that it is concerned with is the development of tourism, the establishment of tourist resorts and high buildings for well being. We do not know what will support it in the future economically. When the oil stocks are over, they will not find the use of the Gulf oil imports
