Slaves of Dubai (2012)

Vice ^ | 8/8/2012 | Ben Anderson

Most people know Dubai for its massive skyscrapers and luxurious hotels, but few know that the city was built by modern-day slaves.

For months, the BBC's Ben Anderson hung out around the glittering, insane towers springing up in Dubai trying to infiltrate the community of expatriate workers who are putting them up. What he found when he finally got in was that the jewel of the Arab world is almost entirely built upon imported slave labor...

[Jan_Sobieski]

In addition to the abhorant slavery, many of the victims (primarily children) are also horribly abused.

The Camel Boy Slaves of Dubai

James 5:1 - Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted , and your garments are motheaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered ; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 Behold , the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud , crieth : and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

[Viennacon]

We will all be the equivalent of slaves of Dubai soon, with our very on Khalifa Obama

Real Sports on HBO did a expose on working condition for the imported workers mostly from the Indian subcontinent who are building the stadiums and infrastructure for the World Cup in Qatar’s. The dorms the workers live in are disgusting.

It’s going to be a disaster if they hold it in Qatar, it’s going to be hot, and in a Muslim country where you can’t drink and the women attending the games will have to cover up.

[dfwgator]

Of course what will FIFA do when Dubia and Qatar fall to ISIS?

[C19fan]

They have some crazy ideas floating around like playing at midnight Qatar time.

If any of the ‘workers’ attempt to escape before their ‘contract’ is up their picture is posted in the main taxicab company. Taxi drivers are given a bonus for capturing and turning in those attempting to escape.

This is a city with it’s roots in hell.

The slavery problem is basic.
Allah allows slavery, Infidel Gods don't.
So there is bound to be a conflict.-Tom

Honestly , what do you expect from muzzie bastards? This is Islam, slavery and subjugation will exist until they are culled to a point where they are no longer a factor. The current status quo of financing wars while insulating themselves will continue simply because of the fact they are dealing with the ignorant unwashed masses. Would this be happening if they were armed to the teeth as we are here in America?...I think not.

[dfwgator]

Par for the course with Muslims.

A few years ago they were paid twenty-five cents an hour... so technically they’re not ‘slaves’. But it’s very close... and they can’t leave - so maybe you’re right. It’s a form of slavery. I wonder why American poverty pimps like Jackson and Sharpton aren’t over there...

[Gay State Conservative]

I’ve visited Dubai twice...both times within the last 2 years.Construction sites are *everywhere* and the men you see working on them are very small (short in stature) and have *very* dark skin.But when you see their faces you know they’re not Africans but,rather,Indians,Pakistanis and Bangladeshis.Working in that sun,in that heat,must be unbearable.

[Pecos]

Sounds a lot like U.S. federal law prior to the Civil War. Our errors were paid for with 750,000 deaths (military only).

[Jan_Sobieski]

I have been there once. I was able to see the workers you talk about. I have to ask you about your moniker...are you from a “Gay” state? Or are you “Gay”?

[Gay State Conservative]

are you from a “Gay” state? Or are you “Gay”?

My profile page give a brief explanation of my moniker.And you're not the only one who's wondered about that! ;-)

And our f&^%$ing governments, past and presnt, call these dictator emirs our “allies”!!! It should be disgust every American.

[Jan_Sobieski]

I see, makes sense. What about your quote?: “Islamopobia:The Irrational Fear Of Being Beheaded”. Is this sarcasm as well?

For the same reason Women's groups don't scream about the way Islam treats women; there would be push back and threats from the Muslims.
Much easier and more profitable to attack white society that seems to have a guilt complex and keeps backpedaling, and will not chop your head off.-tom
