The Pipes article provides many links for further research.

You can pretty much bet your zapatas nothing will be done
about the Saudis or their Wahhabi spreading interests right
here in the good ole U.S.A.

I have a feeling the DUmmies will suddenly stop calling Pipes a Neo-Con Devil and champion this article.

Of course, when he points out the Islamo-Fascist

"specializing in Arabic intonation and focus prosody"

The creep couldn't stay home in Saudi Arabia to learn this is mind boggling.

This won't change until we have a President in the White House who refuses to hold their hands in public and kiss their butts in private.

?.......Saudis Import......'Oil'.... Slaves to America?

/?The Saudi Oil Union and Sports Club?

[Lunkhead_01]

Is it my imagination or do all the perpetrators have Mohammedan names and all those enslaved have Christian sounding names?

[Alouette]

He donates money to the Linguistic Society of America

Homeland Security should be auditing this org with the innocuous-sounding name.

[swarthyguy]

Slavery, whatever.

The Saudis are our allies; they kill 3000 in broad daylight and all we can get worried about is a bunch of maids.

Almost as ridiculous as people getting their knickers in a twist over the President doing something as innocuos and culturally sensitive as holding abdullah's hand. Why shouldn't the President be so sensitive?

Any criticism of Saudi Arabia is defacto a criticism of Bush. And that is just not halal.

Hello Saudi's.

Guess what--there is a God in Heaven and He is not the satanic moon god Allah. He is God Almighty; The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And He is not amused.

You either "Import From" or "Export To".

Interestingly, her work contract specified that she could not leave the house or make telephone calls without her employer's permission.

In a country where the "right to die," and assisted suicide are becoming acceptable, this should be no big deal. If she "chooses" slavery, let her be one! /s

The two Saudis face charges of forced labor, aggravated sexual abuse, document servitude

Not to put too fine a point on the particulars, but what, I wonder, is document servitude?

[GretchenM]

Ranking Saudi religious authorities endorse slavery; for example, Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan recently [said] that "Slavery is a part of Islam" and whoever wants it abolished is "an infidel."

The Sheikh's theology would change in a nanosecond if his allah granted him the religious privilege of being the slave.

Met a guy like this in my area, he was at the park with his wife, 4 children and his concubine...The 4 children did not look like the wife...

My niece was friends (briefly) with a Saudi couple, the husband of which was a graduate student at Penn State. They brought their Indonesian maid with them from S.A. to serve them in their small State College apartment--my niece said they treated her like dirt and wouldn't allow her to look at or speak to visitors.

Saudi slavery ping

[B4Ranch]

There are more slaves today than were seized from Africa in four centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The modern commerce in humans rivals illegal drug trafficking in its global reach and in the destruction of lives.

The last thing the UN is trying to do is reduce slavery throughout the world!
