To be deported
A while back, this guy I've been talking to on MSN signed on. He's a German teenager, apparently, who lives here and is gay. Anyways, so like three weeks or so ago, he was bragging to me about his 24-year-old Emarati boyfriend called Mansoor. A few days later, Mansoor apparently left him for some other guy and the German guy, Sebastian, became very lonely.
So almost every night for the past two weeks or so, he has been signing on to MSN and asking me to come visit him or meet him in the mall or something because he's very lonely. And I always give him some [genuine] excuse about having plans for the weekend or having too much work. Then one night he decided he'd go to his neighbor and sleep with him. The next night, he told me that his neighbor had raped him. I was horrified. Every night he made feel guilty about not meeting him by telling me that he was going to sleep with his much older neighbor who raped him every single time. I kept telling him to not go to his neighbor's if he hurt him so much, but he said he was desperate and that "I need a cock inside my ass every night". Right. That's reason enough to get raped, no?
Anyways, today he finally signed on and told me that he had finally taken my advice and not slept with his neighbor. I told him I was happy for him.
Then he told me that he saw a lot of people coming out of the "church" near his home. I told him it was probably a mosque. He asked me why I don't go there. I briefed him on my religious status. By now he was looking at me on the webcam [just my face]. He told me I didn't look like a Muslim, but rather like a Jew. Then he just started off with this painfully long anti-Israel, anti-Jewish rant about how Jews in Germany never smile and always have hate in their hearts [what are you, a mind reader?] and how all Jews are wrong because they're living on Palestinian land etc. Not only that, he was scolding me for "supporting the aggressor" and "making friends with the enemy of the country you're living in". I defended myself saying that I didn't support the Israeli government's policies against the Palestinians and making friends with Israelis doesn't harm anybody.
Then he switched to 'Blatant Racism' mode and started calling me a 'dirty Indian' and 'stupid Indian'. By now it was clear that this guy wasn't in his senses. He probably wasn't German [maybe a germ, but not a German] or gay either.
He signed out and signed in again and this time it was Sebastian, the original German fellow. He told me that it was his boyfriend Mansoor who was arguing with me and that Mansoor's father is some minister in the government - apparently somebody called Sheikh Rashid Abdullah al-Noa'imi. I'm not really sure who that is. Anyways, Mansoor later threatened to have me deported. He printed out my MSN profile [which doesn't divulge any critical information about me] and said he had told his dad to have me deported for being an Israeli spy [ok, now I didn't know I was working as one - is that why $666 appear in my bank account every week?!]. He signed off with this message:
"LOOK STUPID ..I TOLD THE AUTHORITIES ABOUT YOU. YOU MUST BE AN ISRAELI SPY AND YOU FOR SURE THAT WE DO NOT LIKE ISRAEL IN UAE AND YOU SAYING YOU HAVE FRIENDS IN ISRAEL AND THAT IS ENOUGH REASON TO KICK YOU OUT OF THIS COUNTRY. SO TOMDAY IS FRIDAY AND TOMMORROW IS HOLIDAY TOO. BUT SUNDAY U WILL GET DEPORTED I PROMISE YOU AND I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT"
"Insha Allah," I said. God Willing.
My father says that the UAE is moving towards being a more open-minded country, or at least the city of Dubai is. Eventually, he says, the UAE will have freedom of speech, peace and trade with Israel, naturalization for the expatriates etc., but the rulers are just waiting for the generation of conservatives to pass, so that their reforms won't upset the old conservatives. That makes it sound like Dubai will have all the above-mentioned privileges in about 10 or 20 years.
But after talking to this violent, neurotic xenophobe, it seems like it'll be a much, much longer time before any such reforms are implemented.
