California pair admit enslavement
BBC ^ | June 30, 2006

An Egyptian former couple have pleaded guilty to enslaving a 10-year-old girl in their southern California home.

The girl, who was brought to the US from Egypt, was forced to work 16-hour days and was not allowed to leave the house during her 20-month ordeal.

Abdel Nasser Eid Youssef Ibrahim, 45, and his ex-wife, Amal Ahmed Ewis-abd Motelib, 43, agreed to plead guilty to four federal charges.

They face jail terms of three years when they are sentenced in October.

The girl, whose name was not released, was brought to the US by the couple in August 2000 when she was 10.

Squalor

She was forced to clean their home, take care of their five children, prepare food and do the laundry, for no pay. She lived in squalor in the garage and was told that if she left the house in Irvine, southern California, she might be arrested.

The girl was discovered by immigration officials in April 2002 after an anonymous tip-off.

We did a mistake here in the United States of America because we didn't respect the law. At that time we were new here Amal Ahmed Ewis-abd Motelib Defendant

Ibrahim and Motelib pleaded guilty to charges of involuntary servitude and harbouring an illegal alien.

The pair also admitted slapping the girl at least once to get her to work, said the plea agreement.

They now face three-year jail terms when they are sentenced on 23 October. They must also pay the girl, now 16, $101,516 (£56,000) in compensation and back pay.

Recess

After the hearing in Santa Ana, the judge called a recess after Motelib had difficulty admitting her crimes to the court, reported the Los Angeles Times newspaper.

"We did a mistake here in the United States of America because we didn't respect the law," she said through her translator. "At that time we were new here."

One of her daughters wept quietly as the hearing went on, the paper said.

The girl is now with foster parents and attending a public high school. She has received a green card granting her permanent residency.

The slave was simply doing a job that Americans won't do.

"At that time we were new here."

Slavery is fine according to Mad Moe, the filthy pedophile false prophet (pig poop be upon him).

WTF? Only 3 years? Kidnapping, enslavement?

"Oops, we did a mistake" "we didn't know the laws in America"

What kind of crap is that? They deserve LIFE!!!

This should be a reminder to black America, that slavery in Islamic countries is still LEGAL.

Tabari II:21 “Ham [Africans] begat all those who are black and curly-haired, while Japheth [Turks] begat all those who are full-faced with small eyes, and Shem [Arabs] begat everyone who is handsome of face with beautiful hair. Noah prayed that the hair of Ham’s descendants would not grow beyond their ears, and that whenever his descendants met Shem’s, the latter would enslave them.” Slavery in Islam isn't limited to blacks however, but Islamic Arab dictators are still very active in African countries in the slave trade.

Real justice will be their deportation, after serving the full prison sentences.

What sick, is that ALL Muslims MUST, beyond any doubt, accept and follow Muhammads' sick and disgusting ways/judgments.

It's too bad Westerner's as so blind to what islam really is. Hopefully there will be an awakening.

Qur’an 4:65 “They can have no Faith, until they make you (Muhammad) judge in all disputes, and find in their souls no resistance against Your decisions, accepting them with complete submission.”

Every sodomite/pedophile would love to have Mohammads ways allowed in America. No 6 year old would be safe.

All of their assets and property should be given to the slave, full time in jail then deported.

Ten years hard labor would be better.

And how did they explain their custody of a minor child to US officials upon arrival? Or where they even asked for an explanation?

The airport borders must also be made secure.

"I didn't know you spoke Arabic"

It is only a fair understanding .. the dialect he uses is a little obscure ... the more common and accepted pronounciation is ..
