THE SLAVES OF DUBAI

(hat tip to Mark Alexander of A New Dark Age Is Dawning)
Most people know Dubai for its massive skyscrapers and luxurious hotels, but few know that the city was built by modern-day slaves.

Reliapundit,
I know a few people who vacation or work in Dubai. I have tried to tell them what's what -- the story behind the outward opulence and beauty. What I have to say mostly falls on deaf ears. Yet, these same people claim that they care about other people, particularly those who are less fortunate. Go figure.

The hypocrisy is mind boggling.

Dubai is only one Arab country among many that has reason to hang their heads in shame.

Saudi Arabia - don't be caught being female there, things won't go well for you.

Actually, that could be said for ALL middle eastern countries except Israel. Half of their populations are in slavery: all of the women.
