Human rights abuses are far worse in Saudi than is say much-maligned Burma, but the weedy west says nothing because they have oil. SA only recently banned slavery and all other religions are illegal. Barbaric capital punishments are the norm and women are "property". Sort of place to keep well away from.

Here's a good idea: import MALE maids! Then again, they probably wouldn't be safe either, knowing how the Arabs like boys and other men...

Yeah, how come every time I meet a Saudi guy he always ends up asking me which country has the hottest girls, which girls are the best in bed, which girls are the dirtiest... Dirty pervs masquerading as pious men. HYPOCRITES.

IC - The Arab petro dollar is remodelling this nation, it is partly down to this we are seeing more agression, more secular issues and more outright oppression of minorities and women - some will disagree but that is what my eyes and ears tell me

DrDez; I truly hope you are wrong... the truth everyone should know is the Saudis are only pious when they have religious police watching over them, the second they leave Saudi they are whoring and drinking worse than sailors!


Saudi Arabian women are protesting against plans by the Gulf nation to replace Indonesian domestic workers with Moroccan maids, believing the North African women “are beautiful and could snatch their husbands off them,” a report said on Wednesday.

Emirates 24/7 reported that after failing in their efforts to overturn a ban on driving, Saudi Arabian women had been “swift and decisive” in their opposition to Moroccan maids.

The news portal reported that the Gulf kingdom’s appointed parliament had been “deluged” by women demanding it veto the plans to use Moroccans to replace Indonesian and Filipino domestic helpers.

“Many Saudi woman have objected to plans to import domestic workers from Morocco … they say the Moroccan women are beautiful and this will cause continuous anxiety and concern in Saudi families,” Emirates 24/7 reported the Sharq daily as saying.

“Some of them said Moroccan women are so attractive that their husbands could easily fall for them … others said Moroccans are good at magic and sorcery and that this could enable them to lure their husbands.

“Some women threatened to resign their job and stay at home so their husbands will not be left alone with the Moroccan maid.”
