Assalamualaikum

Hi

I recently heard that the above university is recruiting ESL lecturers for a new English prep program they are starting this year. I looked for information on the internet but couldn't find anything and it doesn't seem to be publicly advertised.

I was wondering if anyone had any information as to whether they are actually recruiting and the contact details of the relevant recruiter or agent?

any help and info will be sincerely appreciated.



Thanks

Teaching faculty full of the hyphenated ones from Bradiord and Lahore. A bit too Islamic for most of us !

We have "hyphenated Americans" eg Irish-Americans, German-Americans. Why not have hyphenated Brits ? Pakistani-Brits, Arab-Brits etc. The ones who go to taech in Medina are predomioonantly from the immigrant communities of Bradford and the like.

Officially Medina and Mecca are completely closed to non-Muslims to protect them from the taint of the infidel. As a practical matter, you can read plenty of stories of kafirs who visited those cities, and I get the impression that when it's not the Hajj you have a decent chance of being allowed to visit, but I certainly doubt you'd be able to work there unless you're a Muslim.

As scot47 said this is most likely to require Muslim ancestry. The Saudi embassy requires people from non-Muslim ethnic groups to get a letter from their local mosque asserting that they're Muslim to obtain a Hajji visa, so it's possible you could do the same for a working visa, if you are a convert to Islam. But also as scot47 said, even if you are a Western convert, would you really want to work in such an intensely Islamic environment?
