rhys 0 #26 January 17, 2010 QuoteI wonder if they have reported very much on the slavery that abounds in the arab world? I wonder if they report on how foreign workers in the arab world are treated? QuoteMost of the 4,000 labourers building the tower are from India. Toiling in slave-like conditions in Dubai's summer heat they recieve no set minimum wage and work in three shifts around the clock. Protests against labour abuse in Dubai are regularly recorded by human rights groups but are rarely reported in the local press. never would they mention slavery in thier nighbouring Arab countries QuoteAl Jazeera met "Svetlana", a Uzbek forced to work in the sex trade in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. She recounted how she was offered a job as a waitress, but the woman who had originally promised to help her in Tashkent took away her passport and threatened to harm her family if she did not co-operate. After years of abuse, "Svetlana" has found refuge at the United Arab Emirates' first shelter for the victims of human trafficking. How about you do some research before you make such assumtions, these are the first couple of links I found on Google.AE I bet Fox news doesn't[url "http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/rizkhan/2009/07/20097308042575452.html"> report the human trafficing and slave conditions in the United states, and I bet most people here are also oblivious to it. QuoteAlthough the US abolished slavery officially in 1865, it has never ended in practice. In 2009, slaves still work in homes of wealthy diplomats, as farmworkers and as prostitutes on the streets. These modern slaves often end up there as victims of human trafficking which the US state department describes as a present-day form of slavery. It exploits people, mostly women and children, forcing them into prostitution or slave labour. In June 2009, the state department released its ninth annual Trafficking in Persons report. Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, emphasised the need for more public-private partnerships to fight modern-day slavery, but also announced that subsequent reports will rank the US, something that has not been done so far.

Amazon 7 #27 January 18, 2010 Sorry... those dont do a very good job of meeting the sniff test. A couple stories in a sea of hate the west does not make for balanced news reporting.... even if you like the feel of wool in your eyes. But go ahead and keep getting your news from sources like AlJizzerra aka "Terror TV" and posting the wonderful flavor you provide. Maybe your next visit to other western countries could be more interesting for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And its great to see the Hamas and Hezbollah supporters just so the west knows just who its fighting and why. When your"news" is this thinly disguised it becomes laughable.

DUDE.. that has to be the funniest thing you EVER have posted on here. You can put the pipe down now . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you consider objective analysis to be the same thing as sympathizing then there's no point in further discussion. "An honest historian has no country." Quoteyour claim that I support Bush Cheney... DUDE.. that has to be the funniest thing you EVER have posted on here. I realize that you only support their anti-Arab and anti-Muslim views. QuoteYou can put the pipe down now. I love it when people have to resort to their ad hominem arguments, since it shows that they can't constructively contribute to the discussion.
