ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Five years after his capture on orders of then-U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, Elian Gonzalez is again the subject of Havana's propaganda machine, this time in support of the Cuban government's attempt to free five of its spies currently in U.S. custody. The Cuban intelligence officers were part of the Wasp Network, an espionage group operating in Florida, and broken by FBI counterintelligence agents in 1998. During a mass rally celebrating the fifth anniversary of the April 22, 2000 Gestapo-like raid which took him from his Miami relatives, Elian called the date of the raid the "the happiest day" of his life, and went on to describe his solidarity with the five compañeros, "those five heroes of our history" - the five Wasp Network spies."
From the article: "Arabian Sex Tourism"
They are old predators with new vigour. Often bearded, invariably in flowing robes and expensive turbans. The rich, middle-aged Arabs increasingly stalk the deprived streets of Hyderabad like medieval monarchs would stalk their harems in days that we wrongly think are history. These Viagra-enabled Arabs are perpetrating a blatant crime under the veneer of nikaah, the Islamic rules of marriage.
Misusing the sanctioned provision which allows a Muslim man to have four wives at a time, many old Arabs are not just marrying minors in Hyderabad, but marrying more than one minor in a single sitting.
The Arabs usually “marry” the girls for short periods, sometimes just a single night.
In fact, Wajihuddin reports, marriage and divorce formalities are often prepared at the same time, thereby expediting the process for all involved.
Akhileshwari notes that “their girl children are available for as little as 5,000 rupees to satisfy the lust of doddering old Arab men.”
“If a girl child is sold or her life ruined, it is not a national loss, that’s why this is a non-issue, both for community and to society.”
From the article: "Saudis Import Slaves to America"
Although slavery was abolished in the kingdom in 1962, the practice still flourishes there.
Ranking Saudi religious authorities endorse slavery; for example, Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan insisted recently that
"Slavery is a part of Islam" and whoever wants it abolished is "an infidel."
The U.S. State Department knows about the forced servitude in Saudi households and laws exist to combat this scourge but, as Mr. Mowbray argues, it "refuses to take measures to combat it."
Finally, Saudis know they can get away with nearly any misbehavior.
Their embassy provides funds, letters of support, lawyers, retroactive diplomatic immunity, former U.S. ambassadors as troubleshooters, and even aircraft out of the country; it also keeps pesky witnesses away.
Given the American government's lax attitude toward the Saudis, slavery in (New York,) Denver, Miami, Washington, Houston, Boston, and Orlando hardly comes as a surprise.
Only when Washington more robustly represents American interests will Saudi behavior improve.
