Slavery!
Ahmed Sadi, Rankin Street, Wari, Dhaka
On July 27, Mr. Mohaiemen wrote a lot about irreverent things concerning the real facts of the so called slavery in the Arab world. He concluded by giving an unusual example. In the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia, there are many foreign workers and they are coming from different parts of the world. If they are used as slaves, I think they couldn't stay there. But in some cases it is true that foreign workers who come from the poorest countries are facing difficulties, because they have to work under unfavourable conditions. The HRW talked about so called 'slavery' but it did not talk about the obstructions that democracy and freedom of speech face in the Middle East, thanks to US patronage of the kings. I think Islam is still a misunderstood religion and so are its followers!
