Yeek!! This is one big ugly stinky skunk that this country has run over...

Yes, it is.

[jveritas]

Psssst, the Bush supporters are the vast majority on FR. If you are not one of them, then you belong to the tiny, bitter, and always wrong minority of freepers.

You made some excellent points. Also, is it bad that the UAE is helping American students to learn...am I missing the point on this too? The UAE is working on many hi tech projects that are going to benefit the USA
"Investors from the United Arab Emirates helped fund the $23 million Neil Bush raised for Ignite!, the learning systems company that holds lucrative No Child Left Behind Act contracts in Florida and Texas. The "Cow" is an Ignite! portable computer designed to work in a classroom, providing interactive instruction aimed at improving students' scores on standardized tests. If you loved Billy Carter and "Billy Beer," you're certain to love Neil Bush and the "Ignite! Cow."

The Muslims do put an Islamic spin on learning, even in Dubai. For example, they try to give credit for inventing vaccination to Avicenna (Ibn Sina), an Arab instead of to the true inventor, Louis Pasteur.

They even go so far as to say that the word "vaccination" is derived from Avicenna's name, when in fact it comes from the Latin word for cow (vacca) - as the first vaccination was against smallpox by infecting people with an attenuated weak version of the cowpox virus.

All this talk about cows and vaccas makes me think of one thing... and it's not even Friday!

It could be the tax haven for the rich and famous of Nato.
And Ill bet not of arab nationality.

Its beginning to look like the cayman Islands retreat of the middle east.

Ops4 God Bless America!

Wonder who the lamebrain is who added the keyword Islamaphobia. If there's ever been something to be afraid of, it's Islam.

There is no radical, fundamental Islam. There is only Islam.

I'll stick with the good looking guys like Eaker and Squantos.

You can have the sheep.

If anyone should be pinned with the name Islamaphobic is should be all these Arab appeasers world wide who keep kissing the arab tushes, doing business with the devil. They are the ones who are really affraid of the arabs or else they would stand up and kick their arses!

But seriously, I don't think the appeasers fear Islam. I think in truth they embrace it and what they really hate and fear is the closed minded Christians and Jews.

We worship the same God some say??? I don't think so!
God hates it when we worship His creation, the moon, stars sun etc, and judgment follows.

Sheik accused in camel jockey abuse plot

Excerpt:

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Sheik Mohammed, one of the richest horse buyers in Kentucky and the world, has been implicated in the slave trade of child camel jockeys by a cable TV news program.

A report aired this week on HBO's Real Sports includes footage of appalling living conditions at camel-training camps and alleges that boy camel jockeys -- some as young as 3 -- are kidnapped or sold into slavery, starved, beaten and raped. The report links the abuses to Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum.

Sheik Mohammed is the crown prince of Dubai, one of the United Arab Emirates. He also serves as defense minister for the UAE.

More, various sources:

Child camel jockeys in the UAE

In 2004, Anti-Slavery International sent a photographer to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to photograph children racing and training in the Gulf state. The photographs prove that, despite the Government's repeated statements that this practice has stopped, it is still a problem. Two years ago, the Government announced that using children under 15 and lighter than 45 kilograms to race camels would be banned from 1 September 2002 and offenders punished. For more about this issue, see our submission to the UN.

Oil Money

Before the Gulf states were blessed with oil the practice was not as widespread as it is today. Now the rulers of the Gulf states have more money than they know what to do with. You may well have seen reports of some of the extravagances that occur on television. The richest horse race in the world is in Dubai, sponsors are few and, as the UAE is a Muslim country, gambling income is nil. Greyhound races are similarly run at great expense and generate no income. Such sports are a means for the ruling families to compete with each other. Massive sums of money are spent on the animals by each family. There are special animal hospitals for the racing camels where no expense is spared. A camel jockey however is nothing more than ballast. If he gets hurt it is easy to buy another camel jockey.

The children go outside to play and never return

The jockeys will tipically start their life in the same way as millions of other children in the Indian subcontinent. Perhaps having parents who are poor, but still have dreams for their sons which do not involve camels. Then maybe at the age of two or three the children go outside to play and never return. They are kidnapped by local gangs who will deal in any commodity that makes money. The children will then be taken by adults who when questioned may claim to be the children's parents. They will then travel, perhaps along the ancient slave routes to Karachi, and across the Gulf.

No holiday riding camels

The work of a camel jockey is no holiday. Away from their parents, in a foreign country with no legal status, the children have no one to protect them. They must exercise the camels seven days a week in heat that even the local people shelter from. There is no choice about whether to work on the camels or not. A beating or two and a couple of days without food convinces them all. There is nowhere to run to. Many of the children are told a story about being unwanted and being sold by their parents into slavery, just in case they were considering trying to get home. Before the camel races the children go without food, not as a punishment, but to keep their weight down so the camels will run faster. The children receive no schooling and grow up without even knowing the country of their birth.

It's difficult to say it any plainer or more on target than that.

[jveritas]

Get stuck together guys you need it. You are a bitter and losing minority here on FR so you need all the moral support from each other.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Wow! Really fine bunch of folks, after all.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Bitter?

I'm sweet as pie.

Ask around.

[Esther Ruth]

I'm listening to Rush again today, just to see what he says. I've listened to him since 90. Well, I guess I half tune into w the hope he will really have some way to spin this that makes sense, still suffering from residual denial I guess. But...he just keeps digging the grave deeper, flapping about like a fish out of water, moods all over the place, not sure exactly which aspect of all this he is lamenting or if that to is show.

[Eaker]

What are you babbling about?

Still mad that Aunt Harriet was replaced by somebody both competent and deserving or did somebody stop a criminal from crossing the border to break laws that Americans are to lazy to break??
