This place is not for women !

My first confrontation with the Pakistani workers was in front of their Husseinia (Shiaa Islamic Center) in Madinat Zayed. It was between Al-Maghrib and Al-Eshaa' parayer, about 7:00 PM. I was walking in the neighborhood with my nephew, as I passed by infront of the Hussinia. About 20 Pakistani men was standing and sitting in random groups outside the place. I saw two guys in their 20s sitting alone, so I walked toward them and said "Salaam Alikum". They didn’t realize that I was talking to them, until I said it again, and again. "Wa Alaikum Al-Salaam" they replied and looked to each other.
Firstly, I told them that I'm a student and tried to explain my project to them (which I’m not sure that they've understand). Then, I started asking them questions about their life...Both of them are Taxi drivers, & from Parachinar...

I asked him then to write the word Parichinar in my notebook, & he did write it, in Pashto language (notice the Arabic letters) ----->

He said he lives in Al-Jwazat St., and his friend in Al-Khalediya St....

They complained about the rising prices of everything, especially, the apartments...One of them told me that he lives with 3 other Pakistani workers, and he have to pay 500 of the 1500 monthly apartment rent, 2000 to his Kafeel, (I wonder how much is left for them at the end of the month)...Then I asked them if I can bring my Camera tomorrow and film inside the Husseinia, he said of course you can (mafi moshkel) but then told me wait, I'll go call someone (that someone was the one whose in charge of the Husseinia)
I expected an old man with a long white bear...but surprisingly, he wasn’t that old, in his 40s I guess.
His name was "Saif Ali Hasan Al-Husseini" (An Arabic Name!) When I explained to Mr. Al-Husseini my project, he wasn't thrilled at all, and gave me this face---> :S
He said: “No no you can't enter and film, this place is not for women”
(هذا مافي مكان حق حرمة) !!!

... So i told him fine, I won’t enter if you don’t want me to, but can my brother enter and film?! He thought about it for a bit, and then said: “well, ok, but you'll have to get permission from the police department (المديرية)”
“Why you’re making it hard for me !” =( I said
"Well, the police prohibit filming inside the Husseinia"
"Why?" I asked
"Hmmm, because they worries that it would influence people, and what people would think"
I didn't understand what he meant, but I nodded my head, said “I understand” and thanked him for his time...

I was disappointed that they won't let me enter their, I always wanted to see what is going on behind these walls,... especially in "Aashora Day" when police men surround that place and the area get really crowded with Pakistanis, that you would think you're in Islamabad…
