He said that other nations he served in have welcomed diversity, inclusion, and integration, and benefitted from them. He also wrote about the racism against foreigner that should be fought against instead. Legal expert and former parliamentarian Dr. Mohammed Al-Dallal wrote that it is painful to see people who gave up voluntarily their original nationalities to legally acquire the Kuwaiti nationality only to be stripped of it 20 or 30 years later. He wrote that several of their original countries will not accept to return their nationalities back. Therefore, increasing the size of the snowball effect of the stateless population in Kuwait. He wondered why the authorities are not explicitly open about the legal standards they have used to strip naturalised people of the Kuwaiti nationality.
