#1 In essence, shutting down what has become a slave market.

#2 Foreign workers (of both genders I would guess) are subject to rape by their employers - with no recourse - after all it takes 4 eye witnesses to convict a Muslim man of rape.

#3 So, basically, the Indonesian and Philippine governments said "if you want to hire our citizens, you must agree to treat them like human beings", and the Saudis responded by banning any workers from those countries?

Clarifying moment, isn't it?

#4 This should be entertaining. Slaveholders become so reliant on their slaves that they go into withdrawl when deprived of them. They don't know how to pick up their own dirty under drawers, much less how to launder them, which they believe is "beneath their station", anyway.

So they will begin whining and biatching to the government in short order. The trouble is that these two countries almost have a lock on Muslim workers who aren't lower order primates.

Based on my experience, there's more non-muslim expat workers than there are muslims - at least in the non-domestic fields.

#7 Yes EU, but the Pakis get a better deal for not working in places like England.

#8 Wouldn't want the poor buggers to have to pick their own socks.

#9 Am I the only one to notice the maid (in the pic) seems to be sweeping the dirt under the rug?
