Kuwaitis who voted them into the National Assembly?

“Yesterday,  we heard that the parliament 
Committee for Review of Status of Illegal Citizens has approved bills for granting the Bedoun residents the right to education, medical treatment and issuance of passports, provided they are included in the 1965 cen- sus,” Abdulaziz Khuraibet wrote for Al-Shahed daily.
“In a statement, Chairman of the committee MP Al-Dousari said the committee members agreed unani- mously that Bedoun residents who are included in the 1965 census should be allowed to study in public schools like the children of Kuwaiti women married to expatriates and soldiers.
“Another member declared that the committee con- sidered the need to make easy procedures for enjoying services and maintaining amenities the country is pro- viding to that segment. These include Hajj and Umra issues over which they held a meeting with officials of Ministry of Foreign Affairs to continue deliberation on obstacles that prevent Bedoun residents from perform- ing Hajj and Umra with their counterparts in Saudi Arabia.
“This information became known to the public yes- terday, but the reality is that there have been spates of criticisms concerning the existence of such a commit- tee. Those people believe there should rather have been a committee handling the affairs and rights of citizens. On the contrary, many other people opine that illegal residents are treated unfairly by Kuwaiti government in all entitlements, grants and living standards.
“Truthfully, I don’t know what the feeling of any citizen is towards the committee that is trying to rec- ommend and approve by itself without being commit- ted to Kuwaitis who voted them into the National Assembly? What achievements should citizens expect from such a committee?”

Three men approached in defense of the women


“An incident occurred last Saturday in the Portland City, which is the largest city in the American State of Oregon located at the confluence of River Willamette and River Colombia,” Abdulaziz Khuraibet wrote for Al-Shahed daily.
“Two young women including a veiled Muslim boarded a train at the Hollywood Station. Their pres- ence caught the attention of a Christian man who approached them and uttered some racial statements such as “All Muslims should die” as well as insults.
“According to the official spokesperson of Portland Police, the suspect was making a lot of noise and mur- muring some words, many of which were regarded as hate-filled and racist.
“Three men approached in defense of the women. One of them was quoted saying, “You can’t deal with them that way as you can see they are young girls.” However, this “Christian” criminal shifted the aggres- sion on the men who were trying to defend the ladies.
“According to Sergeant Simpson, “Eyewitnesses revealed that the man was shouting while attacking the men who were protecting the ladies. Two of them died in the attack while the third one sustained injuries”.
“The attacker had stabbed Namkai-Mech and Ricky John Best, a 53-year old father of four. He was arrest- ed after he stabbed the third victim Micah David-Cole Fletcher, who is still receiving treatment in a hospital.
“Portland’s Mayor commended the three victims, saying other people should emulate their action. He stressed that the current political atmosphere encour- ages racism.
“Namkai-Mech’s mother wrote on her Facebook page that she is proud of her child and he will forever remain a hero for protecting the young women.”
