Get Texas A&M out of Qatar.
Qatar is a slave state as well as the world’s #1 financier of Islamic terrorists.
can’t provide at least decent housing
They don’t care to provide decent housing as they see Asians as inferior and treat them as livestock. The typical Asian that works in the ME is not muslim and therefore (according to muslims) not equal to them.
Not sure how a photo of a communal kitchen and south asian guys cooking fish heads is supposed to repel me.
I’ve lived in china, India and SE Asia. Those few photos didn’t show me anything that was worse than average living conditions in those places.
I’m not surprised that the press is surprised, after all they ignore the fact that they still deal in slave trade. These aren’t workers, they’re slaves. They don’t treat them well because they are expendable as they can replace them 10 fold at any time. They are probably lured there with great promises, but delivered what you see. That’s the way a lot of modern slavery goes on in these Middle East countries. The person luring them there gets paid handsomely though.

We know the deal here. Dubai is a Muslim country, and even though their lives of excess there rile even many fellow Muslims and western lefties, they will get a pass on their abuses because of their religion and the media’s reluctance to go after any Arab nation.
No outcry, pronouncements, resolutions, sanctions, etc. emanating from the all-caring, all-humane United Nations?
Especially since the UN has its collective sanctimonious noses continuously poking under every rock in the United States as they try to find violations of universal human rights across our country's fruited plain?

You could very well take photos of similar conditions here in the US. The workers in the photos are living much better or at least as well as their country of origin, or they wouldn’t be there. Illegal immigrants working the farms in the San Joaquin Valley in CA live in such conditions. In LA illegals live with 5 families in a 3 BR apt with basically no privacy. They could live in better conditions if they wanted, but then be able to send less money back to their country of origin.
Sure, unscrupulous employers take advantage of such a work force, but this problem is world wide and a long way from being dealt with realistically.
These people have food, a means to prepare it, and a place to sleep out of the weather. Much better conditions than war lord controlled turd world countries.
If folks don’t want conditions like these to occur, get real about what it would take to prevent them.
Oh but the bearded savages aren’t White clean-shaven Christians, so there will be no world outrage.
But if a Christian puts a ham sandwich down near a bearded savage, all hell breaks loose.
or says “ham sandwich.”
no sympathies from me,,,
Why would anyone go to a Muslim country?
