(Saudi) Woman Tortured, Killed Maid for Being ‘Lazy’

Ali Huwash, Arab News —

JIZAN, 8 June 2007 — A woman schoolteacher, one of the suspects in the murder of an Asian housemaid in March, has admitted to her (sic) torturing the maid until she was dead.

The Saudi sponsor of the maid who took her to (sic) hospital and the sponsor’s schoolteacher wife were both arrested in Jizan in March following a hospital report about the death of the maid, whose nationality has not been revealed to the press.

According to the report of the Samita General Hospital in Jizan, a Saudi man brought in an expatriate woman who died shortly after she was admitted. The hospital report attributed the death to internal and external injuries.

The teacher told the investigators that she and her husband used to punish the maid in various forms such as beating, branding and locking up while denying her food and water for days on end.

The teacher said they resorted to crude methods of punishment because the maid was lazy and negligent in her work. The teacher said they had every right to make the maid work because they had spent a lot of money to bring her from her native country.

The confessions were recorded in the court in line with the normal procedures, according to police sources. The coroner who examined the body had found serious wounds and burns. The investigations were conducted under the supervision of Brig. Obaid Al-Khomash, assistant director of Jizan police.

The officer said the investigations have been completed and the suspect, who is an employee of the general education department in Jizan, will remain in a local general prison until the trial begins.

The embassy of the maid’s county has been (sic) taken steps to guarantee that the culprit does not go unpunished. The relatives of the suspects have been in touch with the embassy officials and the relatives of the deceased to settle the matter with the payment of blood money.

This poor, poor woman. R.I.P.

The maid's "laziness" and "negligence" was no doubt due to her refusal to convert to Islam or due to her refusal to sexually humiliate herself to her Islamofascist slavemasters.

This news story is just another reason why Islam is "The Religion of Peace."

Tragic.

No problem. A few gold bars will be sent to the family of the deceased and the Saudi couple can get a new maid.

All cultures are equal and deserve respect.

Most of these maids come from places like Indonesia or the Philippines.

They are basically treated like slaves, which is the ancient Islamic way. I don’t know how common it is to keep servants confined and to beat, torture, or rape them, but over the years I have read many such stories. I presume that most such cases are not reported.

Translation: We're going to pay off the victim's family and go free (in accordance with Islam).

When her mother bore her years ago, did she ever dream that her daughter would live and die in such a manner? Those people who tortured and murdered her should face a very swift and severe justice, one that pays no liberal service to extenuating circumstances or to probation.

*********************************
It’s considered an everyday practice in Saudi Arabia (and other like countries) to allow their sons to rape the maids... it’s also normal is Arab households to ignore “potty training” and just let the children poop in a corner,, maybe she was refusing to clean up poop day after day.. whats really sad is that the Philippine Embassy can’t protest too much as they rely on OFW’s to remit back home , same as Mexico does with their people here.. I think we’ll find that they had stolen her passport ,, otherwise she could have ecaped, even if she had no $$$ the embassy would have helped.

I recall an almost identical story from here in Houston about 20 years ago. Some Saudi royals had servents from other countries who were regularly beaten and humiliated. One escaped from her employers and sued for political asylum.

But our great president insists this is the religion of peace. He even likes to take long walks, holding hands with these people. Very charming.

The maid was ‘dhimmi’.

Practicing Muslims are allowed to do this. Well, practicing MALE Muslims are. The situation is a little murkier with practicing FEMALE Muslims.

Because even the most devout practicing female Muslim, is just only a very small step better than a ‘dhimmi’ herself.

Even in the most progressive of Islamic households in Saudi Arabia, the female is about three notches lower than the noble horse or camel belonging to the alpha male in the house.

The scary thing about the culture is that the guy just walked in and admitted to doing it as if “Oops, I backed over my dog.” If a rich couple in America did that to their Mexican maid they’d be trying to hide the body so the rest of us don’t find out.

This one just came in an email to me, didn’t get reported anywhere. Radical Islam has no use for freedom, especially freedom of religion.

Pakistani Student Charged With Hate Crime In Hair Cutting
http://www.northcountrygazette.org/news/2007/05/29/hair_cut/

QUEENS–A 17-year-old Pakistani student at Newtown High School in Elmhurst, Queens, is being held on felony hate charges stemming from an incident at the school Friday in which a 15-year-old Sikh student was made to remove his dastar (turban) and his hair was cut.

The dastar is a traditional Sikh headdress and an article of faith for Sikhs, and, for religious reasons, the hair is never cut.

Umair Ahmed, 17, of 77th St., is charged with second-degree unlawful imprisonment as a hate crime, second-degree menacing as a hate crime, second-degree aggravated harassment, second-degree harassment and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon. If convicted, the defendant faces up to seven years in prison.

“The defendant is not accused of some schoolhouse prank but an attack on the fundamental beliefs of his victim’s religion and his freedom to worship freely. His alleged actions have no place in a civilized society, especially in Queens County, the most culturally diverse county in the nation” district attorney Richard Brown said. “Crimes of hate can never be tolerated here”.

Court records indicate that just after noon on May 24, Ahmed, armed with a pair of scissors, approached 15-year-old Vacher Harpal in the hallway of Newtown High School, located at 48-01 90th Street, and stated, “I have to cut your hair.”

When Harpal asked, “For what, it is against my religion,” Ahmed allegedly displayed a ring with Arabic inscriptions and stated, “This ring is Allah. If you don’t let me cut your hair, I will punch you with this ring.”

It is alleged that Harpal initially refused to go into the bathroom with Ahmed because he feared that Ahmed would hurt him with the scissors. Once inside the bathroom, it is alleged that Harpal removed his dastar while crying and begging Ahmed not to cut his hair, which had never been cut and fell past his waist.

Ahmed is then alleged to have used the scissors to cut Harpal’s hair to the neckline and thrown the hair into the toilet and onto the floor. 5-29-07

What a lovely culture. The housekepers are usally from malaysia, or indonesia. While I was being detained at the local police station in Jeddah, there were half a dozen of them who had managed to escape their employer. It is quite tricky for them to prove abuse, especially when the employer then counters their claim by insisting that the housekeeper stole from him/her.

They get these foreign female in, confiscate their passports, and they become defacto slaves. Without the passport they have no rights.

I visited Saudi Arabia when I was in the Navy in the 1980s. I cannot remember exactly if it was Jeddah or Riyadh (which place has a naval port?) but I do remember meeting with some American families for dinner.

When the Americans caught wind from the embassy/consulate that some U.S. sailors would be town for a few days, a bunch of them invited us to their homes for a home cooked meal.

I remember a story that an engineer was telling us. He and friend (both American) were driving to work (the Saudi National Oil Corp. - ARAMCO I think.) Both men were engineering/chemist/scientist types.

Anyways...they are driving to work and my host’s friend is driving the car. Their car is cut off by a Saudi and a minor collision occurs.

The incident goes to a Saudi civil court to determine fault and damages. The court rules in favor of the Saudi and the American is forced to pay for the damages even though the Saudi caused the accident through his negligent driving.

The rationale of the Saudi judge was that the American driver was foreign and did not belong in Saudi Arabia. If he was not in Saudi Arabia, then the accident would have never occurred! How is that for logic?!?!

Anyways...when I heard that dinner time story it was like my American host had shot a diamond crystal into my brain.

For me, everything about Islam has been crystal clear since then.

7 years is all this kid got for basically threatning the others boys life. In my opinion, knowing the background of the two involved or at least their origins(two countries that are the proverbial hatfields and mccoys), it should be tried as something more like assault that will get him more than 7 years with no chance at parole. Had this been my son and a similar posture taken by a “mooselimb,” my instructions are fight to retain your honor in your eyes and Gods eyes.

There are Naval facilities in Al Jubail (King Abdul Aziz Naval Base) on the Pesian Gulf Side and at Jeddah (King Faisal Naval Base) on the Red Sea. Visited both.

or friends anecdote about geting into an accident with a Saudi is par for the course. I was in an accident back in November where a teenage Saudi was drag racing a couple of is friends and slammed into the back of the Suburban I was driving. Even though he left a 120 foot skid mark it was still my fault, if I wasn't in Saudi Arabia the accident would never have happened.

Not so's you'd notice.

BTW, the arabs were the #1 enslavers of black Africans.

Note that there is no 'Race Problem" in arab lands.

Why is that?

The arabs prefered their slaves castrated.

Something this white devil would find worth mentioning to a 'nation of islam' member...

Still the same rationale on accidents but now it’s 50/50. One of our US Air Force personnel was in an accident with a Saudi and it went to court. The Saudi lied his butt off so much to the judge that he ruled the accident as 100% the Saudi’s fault. Rare, but it can happen.

Jizan is one strange place.
