I want to throw up.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
A graduate student for nine years?
Obviously not the sharpest crayon in the box.
Tough. Traditional saudi behaviour is traditional American crime, buddy.
“The Saudi people sympathize with Homaidan Al-Turki and they closely follow up his case,”
That says more than I want to know about the Saudi people. I was hoping it was just the government, and the perpetrators of 911 and on and on and so forth.
He must have been taking classes from Ward Churchill.
Sharia. Coming to a high school near you.
According to Al Turki, physical and sexual battery constitute “traditional Muslim behavior.” Based on what I know of Islam, I agree.
“Al-Turki, who had been a graduate student in Colorado for nine years”
What the heck was he studying?
Ah, but not legal behavior in the US.
It is a traditional behavior.
A tradition of rich Saudis abusing Indonesian servants.
It’s not the first time its happened in the US. Remember the princess in Floriduh?
LOL, you’re right.
Seriously, how can one be a graduate student for nine years?
The school must have been milking him for his tuition money or they were afraid to wash him out.
He was probably majoring in Anger Studies.
On the other hand this is a pretty typical case. Your typical South Asian slaver hires on a maid, then takes away her passport, rapes her regularly, and doesn't pay her. This can frequently lead to the maid's death.
Saudi has a huge class of people who continue to resist the abolition of slavery.
They think we are so weird and backward for our misguided attitudes.
Geesh, I'm past the point of no return. I can't stand any of these A-holes, and I never will.
How to fly airplanes but not the landing stuff.
Ask the imam, are worms halal or haram? He just opened up a can full.
He can always appeal to the District Shari’a Court in Boulder. Oh, there isn’t one? Huh. Funny how these things just work themselves out.
Let me go that sort of thing one better. I attended college at the same time as a Saudi I got to know quite well. He'd brought one of the family slaves with him. He was also attending classes.
Got to know him quite well too.
Neither man intended to return to Saudi.
Years later I discovered that my secretary belonged to a women's society in the Washington DC area that is dedicated to finding and rescuing Filipino and Indonesian women held captive as slaves by Arabs and other South Asian employers.
Yes, I do know a modern day Abolitionist who frees slaves. Put me in awe of the woman.
