  • Kuwait Kuwaiti Arabs in Kuwait
    FOUO Cultural Intelligence for Military Operations: Kuwait Kuwaiti Arabs in Kuwait Summary of Key Points • Kuwaiti Arabs comprise 45 percent (approximately 950,000) of the population in Kuwait. “Arab” is a name originally given to the nomadic inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula. It is now largely a cultural/linguistic designation, embracing various national, regional, and religious groups in several different countries. • Kuwaiti Arabs tend to be dark-haired with brown eyes, and olive or dark skin. However, no single set of racial or physical characteristics defines Kuwaiti Arabs. Due to centuries of migration and contact with other groups, Kuwaitis can exhibit Persian, Turkish, Indian, African, and South Asian features. • Kuwaiti Arabs are predominantly Muslim. They are divided between Sunni (approximately 70 percent) and Shia (approximately 30 percent). The Sunni-Shia division has caused fewer problems in Kuwait than in neighboring states. For the most part, it has not undermined a sense of shared Kuwaiti Arab identity. • Kuwait is essentially a city-state. The majority of people live in Kuwait City, which has grown from a small sea-town into a modern, cosmopolitan city. There are smaller communities inland and to the south along the Gulf coast. • Kuwaiti Arabs trace their lineage to the Bani Utub tribe, which settled Kuwait in 1716. The journey to Kuwait established a strong sense of community and gave Kuwaitis the origins of a national identity. • Although Kuwaiti identity remains influenced by their nomadic heritage, Kuwaitis have been essentially settled for nearly 300 years. A center for maritime and desert trade, Kuwait was linked to the Arabian Peninsula, the Gulf, and India.

Barrak said in a statement he received the summons two days ago and was asked to appear at the Criminal Investigation Department today at 9.00 am, and “after consultations with my legal team, I have decided to decline the sum- mons”. The former outspoken lawmaker listed several rea- sons for his action, raising a number of highly contro- versial and sensitive issues which could lead to police arresting and detaining him. Barrak claimed the sum- mons was against the law, “which stipulates that I should be told about the nature of the case filed and the name of the person who filed it”. “If I was sum- moned as a suspect, then the law stipulates that the Criminal Investigations Department should first sum- mon the complainant and hear his testimony before doing the same with the accused,” he added. The oppo- sition hardliner said that if the public prosecution issues a subpoena to summon him, he would react to it when it happens.

  • Kuwait Cultural Field Guide
    FOUO Cultural Intelligence for Military Operations: Kuwait Cultural Field Guide Country Kuwait is a multi-ethnic country, with a population of approximately 2.3 million. Kuwaiti Arabs make up approximately 40 percent of the population; foreign workers make up the remainder, divided among non-Kuwaiti Arabs (25 percent) and South Asians (35 percent). Kuwait is essentially a city-state. Most Kuwaitis live in Kuwait City, which has grown from a small sea-town into a modern, cosmopolitan city. Since the late 1950s, Arab and South Asian workers have outnumbered Kuwaitis. The Kuwaitis’ prosperity, coupled with their unwillingness to engage in certain professions, created a situation in which Kuwait became highly dependent on imported labor to sustain its rapid pace of modernization. Kuwait has constructed a complex set of policies for the control of migrants. The native Kuwaiti citizen has almost complete authority over the expatriate worker. Kuwaitis contrast their affluence, leisure, and power to expatriates’ economic need, labor, and dependence. Religion Divisions: Kuwait is a Muslim country. Kuwaiti Arabs are divided between Sunni (approximately 70 percent) and Shia (approximately 30 percent). Non-Kuwaiti Arabs are mostly Sunni Muslims. South Asian workers are Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian. Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are predominantly Muslim. Indians are mainly Hindu, and Sri Lankans are primarily Buddhist. FOUO Marine Corps Intelligence Activity May 2003 -1- FOUO Islam is more of a unifying than an excluding factor in Kuwait, and the Sunni-Shia division has caused fewer problems there than in neighboring states. As a mark of identity, religious affiliation is less significant than citizenship and ethnic origin.

  • Effect of Heat Treatment on Α-Tocopherol Content and Antioxidant Activity of Vegetable Oils
    Effect of Heat Treatment on α-Tocopherol Content and Antioxidant Activity of Vegetable Oils By Hasan Al-attar Department of Food Science and Agriculture Chemistry Macdonald Campus, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science June, 2013 ©Hasan Al-attar, 2013 Suggested short Title: α-Tocopherol content and antioxidant activity of oils ii ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of heating on α- Tocopherol content and antioxidant activity of different vegetable oils (EVOO, canola and palm oil). The highest α-Tocopherol content was found in EVOO followed by canola oil and palm oil (323 ±5, 271 ±2 and 174 ±2 µg/ml) respectively. The effect of heat was done at 70, 100 and 130 oC, for time intervals of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 h. Thermal degradation of α-Tocopherol in the oils was minimal at 70 oC and increased at 100 oC and 130 oC. Heating at 130 oC for 2 h resulted in 100, 24 and 44 % degradation of α-Tocopherol in EVOO, canola oil and palm oil respectively; EVOO was completely degraded after 1.5 h heating at 130 oC. Use of 2 cooking methods, pan-frying (250 oC, 5 min) and oven cooking (130 oC, 30 min) resulted in the degradation of α-Tocopherol in the oils. In the pan-frying method, both EVOO and palm oil were completely degraded and canola oil showed 42 % degradation. .With the oven cooking method the degradation for EVOO, canola oil and palm oil were 18, 13 and 10 %, respectively.

  • When Food Is a Culture Shock
    Local FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2016 PHOTO OF THE DAY Local Spotlight When food is a culture shock By Muna Al-Fuzai A man takes a break and [email protected] smokes shisha. — Photo by Ali Al-Roumi had an interesting discussion a few days back with a Iforeign couple who are new in town, and it was about food. Sometimes food can cause culture shock, espe- cially if you crave certain foods and drinks that are not available or forbidden in Kuwait, and are introduced to new kinds of food that are not part of your cuisine back home. They asked me about Kuwaiti food, as they had heard it is delicious. There are some popular cuisines like Chinese or Indian readily available here, so many expats in Kuwait are not familiar with our food. Most ancient and tradi- tional countries also have their own herbs, spices and dishes. IN MY VIEW Pork is preferred by some expats, which is something they like to have at least once a week, but it is banned here as Islam forbids eating the flesh of swine.
