There are a few factors i feel are responsible for this phenomenon especially in the UAE.
Religion is a discrimination; however, nationality or Gender is not a discrimination - nationality means qualifying to work in the country, Gender is specific to align with gender population of existing employees - say if the entire factory has women workers, the role may demand only a woman employee.
Philosophically, a Job description or specification by itself is a discrimination to select a specific choice of candidate :)
