The reason why they come here, isn't coz its tax free or coz they're respected or valued more here (as most westerners might feel) but they move to Dubai due to trouble back home. Lack of jobs, lack of security, lack of decent drinking water, lack of..whatver... Lets not even go to recreation etc. because I suppose they dont really get into that over here. The point is, that they come here by choice, stay here by choice, because obviously, things're worse back home.
So if you wanna blame somebody, blame their policy makers etc back home.
I dunno, I havent slept much so maybe Im totally talkin outta my A!#....... and outta boredom!

Again..if the Saudi Authorities themselves are corrupt and even an 80 year old :curse: [Paedo]Sheikh can not help abusing a 10 year old maid,also refuse to pay thier wages,and regular sexual abuse is part of the job...then..surely isn't it high time that ISRAEL was the superpower in these barbaric parts of the Worlds!AT LEAST THERE WILL BE SOME JUSTICE FOR THESE POOR PEOPLE THEN.

Next you'll be calling for them to build nuclear weapons and become the fourth largest weapons exporter in the world.

At least these black workers have a common law to which they have equal rights in America and Britain todayHopefully..the World will very soon see one of the most powerful "BLACK" MAN ON EARTH--produced by THE USA.. BARACK OBAMA-NOW..What rights do these poor slaves..or indeed yourself..if you are a foreigner..have in those SAND DUNES??
If Britain did take the wealth from the empire..surely it has repaid all these banana republics ten times over in AID.

Excuse me, how long did it take for slavery to be abolished in the west? How long did it take for the British Empire to wither away? How old is the UAE? Don't draw irrelevant comparisons. And er, if we are going to compare let's compare the lives of the ARAB Jews living in Eretz Israel compared to the Ashkenazi's from Europe.

You have picked a losing corner my friend...... find something interesting to discuss life is too short and the people on this forum love a good argument, you'll never get the last word.
