Is this serious? It sounds like they are basically considered to be slaves and treated as such.

Slavery is still legal under Islam. Islam means submit.

You should read “Princess” by Jean Sassoon. It’s a trilogy of the life of a Saudi princess and it describes the life in detail and the fate of their servants/slaves.

Exactly. They ARE slaves.

They are slaves. Since you just discovered this today, tell 3 people you know. Maybe one of them will really believe you. Have them tell 3 people.

The truth is horrifying.

"Is this serious?"

Have you read Churchill?

"How dreadful are the curses
which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!
Besides the fanatical frenzy,
which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog,
there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.
Improvident habits,
slovenly systems of agriculture,
sluggish methods of commerce,
and insecurity of property exist
wherever the followers of the prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement;
the next of its dignity and sanctity.
The fact that in Mohammedan law
every woman must belong to some man
as his absolute property
- either as a child, a wife, or a concubine -
must delay the final extinction of slavery
until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities.
Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen:
all know how to die.
But the influence of the religion
paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world."
Winston Churchill, 1899
