[dharmaatdawn]

i wonder what have happened to this woman? whether she was pardon or not

[MusicIzMySavior]

@galkacyo22 Look at the atrocities committed by somalis in somalia, should we make a generalization ? And FYI arabs are not white lol, they are a diff ethnic group

[MusicIzMySavior]

@galkacyo22 Prophet mohammad was an arab, the quran is in arabic ? You are an idiot, there are just a few individuals who abuse domestic workers, you cant just make a blanket statement like that. Moron

[pmaroun1985]

its funny where im from the Lebanese are taxi drivers and everyone hates them.

[nomoreflipzoids]

they deserve it. especially the filipinas! filipinas are naturally slaves, so i don't see anything wrong with abusing and exploiting them.

if the filipinas don't like it, maybe they should return to their useless country. proud to be pinoy? ha! filipinos should BE ASHAMED AND EMBARRASSED

[BROWNRAT100]

Soudi Arabians and Kuwaities are thrid rate assholes who abuse domestic helpers..Raping, Killing, and threats, Police abuse and intimidation are very common in Kuwait and Saoudi Arabia and UAE. Kuwaities are number one in this abusive behaviour, these are stupid police states, its not a global problem, its only in middle east, shameless assholes!!!

[101nanotechnology]

@BROWNRAT100 all arabs abuse domestic workers

[incaayoub]

@BROWNRAT100 It is a global problem you ignorant fool. It happens everywhere from Europe to the States passing by China and Lebanon

[sarichee]

the parents who lost their child deserve what they got..how could they leave an infant with a child...

[stelawton]

Great show Riz.

[sherifmont]

the middle east needs to change. good prog!

[hajqbvii]

Trafficking is hard to understand, are they sold to the the highest bidder, enlisted in the service of said employer or just out right kidnapped into service?

Governments are responsible as well as employers. Shame on you UN for not persuing action against this Issue. Embassy's, start cleaning house before they cry for democracy.

[durrutti]

You did a wonderful job. Well done, kalli! =)

[saidpharmd]

I don't know where u from but at least they are not slaves and are not claimed to be owned by their emplyers like the westerns did i don't support the mistreatment of workers and i think those people should be held accountable for what they do but don't forget that most people have a good worker boss relationship

[gaajo99]

I am muslim{from Africa} I find Christian Arabs more humane more educated than Arab Muslims. I pray to God I never work or live under Muslim ARABS. Thank God I am in the west.

[molvicorleone]

lmfao it is too obvious you're not who u say u are.

[101nanotechnology]

@molvicorleone he is i know gaajo

[wog7]

How narrow-minded.

Ask the Palestinians or Southern Lebanese about your "humane" Christian Arabs. They were massacred by an army of theirs (Phalangist) in the early 1980s.

Or even ask non-Muslim Sri Lankan / South Asian housemaids what they think of their Christian Arab employers. Find out how "humane" they are.

[wog7]

I'm not bashing Arab Christians, I'm just pointing out how silly "gaajo's" statement is.

[mohammadmurtaza]

wth are you talking about? the christian arabs are the worst of the arabs. they are mean and have no sense of culture. saidpharmd has it exactly right.

[javiqbal]

so sad..i m sorry to say people in arab( i mean the rich arab countries ) they treat their empolyeer like they bought them for money.Some of friend says that it is disgusting to work under them.

[shinada]

good job. I hope this would create more awareness especially in the middle east itself. modern slavery implies barbaric society.

[quietcon]

yawn

[kastnmagic]

What is this "Kafala" system? This is ridiculous... Past the point of ridiculous!

We're very PROUD of the work the ppl (such as Melanie) of the United States are doing to STOP these abuses..

I certainly hope the rest of the world catches on...

The middle east is in serious peril....

[evilthought]

'kafala' -- the sponsorship system means that expatriate workers can only enter, work, and leave certain countries with the assistance or explicit permission of their sponsor or employer, who is a local in the country. This is basis upon which visas are issued.

[chanrobi]

wow that girl is hot

[peepoo1]

People if your watching this itll waist your time americans have no time for this shit and i beleive we should blow countrys that post this shit on american channels!!

[d1molenaar]

Look, its probably one of those people who still think president Bush is doing a good job!

[jamihuq]

Why? Because Arabs have gone back to the days of Ignorance as the Prophet (SAW) predicted. Arabs are living in a delusion that they are good people. Well, they aren't. They pay the Americans to kill each other. So don't blow up the Americans but start with your own wicked neighbors.

"i know that Human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully"

[DamNationDiplomat]

Worker justice is, and probably will be, one of the most difficult issues to resolve because capitalism rewards only those who are good at making money, and part of that is trimming expenses by treating the lowest-class in any society with the absolute minimum dignity and wage you can get away with.

[RizNoor]
