Bahrain turns extreme!

Bahrain has always been the most moderate of the GCC countries. Not extreme in being liberal, not extreme in being conservative -- they have always held the middle ground. This image has all shattered when they proposed a Six year cap to expatriates in the Gulf. Have they lost their minds?

While I highly doubt that this would be approved by all GCC countries, it is an interesting trend that makes expatriates consider making alternative plans to countries that are more appreciative of the contributions they make. GCC countries do not have a history of banding together in policies, and this one is not going to be an exception.

It is, however, worth noting this:

“In some areas of the Gulf, you can’t tell whether you are in an Arab Muslim country or in an Asian district. We can’t call this diversity and no nation on earth could accept the erosion of its culture on its own land,” he added.

Makes you wonder.
