As the true extent of the floods in Pakistan continue to fill our TV screens and newspapers, and the discussion examines the reluctance of the wider world to contribute, one or two things come to mind.

Are people finally showing that they resent the deluge of Pakistani’s diaspora? Personally I think that they are fed up to the back teeth with the Islamic world that is ultimately controlled from Mecca which just happens to be in Saudi Arabia.

Now I know that many enlightened folk are asking just why does not Saudi Arabia with all its oil wealth help more.

There are a few reasons for this, and the main one is that charity as a word does not exist in the mindset of Muslims. Another is that most of them do not give a damn about those suffering in Pakistan.

If you do not already know Saudi has 14 billionaires outside their Royal family. Their net worth is over 80 billion. On top of that their statesmen King Fahd, (Oil and Property), Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, (Oil, Horse Breeding and Property) and Bandar bin Sultan, (Trade), between them are worth 47 billion. These last 3 are adored by our Royals and very wealthy people purely because they ‘do very well thank you’, from their relationship.
