I think it is a deliberate act of trying to make them look annoying to everyone. Thus people will start hating them for their little strange cultural habits and get diverted from freaking capitalists who f** everything up around.

Yeah, it makes sense.

I wouldn't call it that.
Their religion and their religious practice is more a subject to offer identity to people from the Middle East than their state borders do.
So, in order to make them work for you, you better address this instead of any national things. Sometimes people from differing nations in the Middle East even are arch enemies to the core - comparable to the various nationalities and ethnic descents that are left of Yugoslavia these days. Why, often only they know (and sometimes not even that).
Addressing that part offers you the biggest bandwidth if you're a dirty capitalist that always is on the watch for cheap labor and for causing competition among the established workers.
People which this point is a big straw for in their inner construct of identity and feeling welcome, they gonna love you for allowing them "to live that" openly.

That principle can also easily applied to other social group.
