Dan and Lity, Both of you have free time to right long long essays for unimportant matters , unconcerned matters ..... Live in reality guys ...... both of you .....
Fine, goodlittleboy. No religion speaks out against slavery. However, while Western states have a strict separation of church and government, this is not the case in the Middle Eastern countries. The strong influence of religion here leaves these countries still in the Middle Ages when it comes to personal freedom and equality of all people.
Daniel: Slavery was legal in Christianity and in Judaism much, much before the advent of Islam. To my knowledge, there is not a single verse in the Holy Bible that speaks against slavery.
If you look back into history just a couple of hundred years. you will come across historical facts of people from the West (read Christians) raiding African countries, swooping down on African nationals, capturing men, women and children, loading their ships with the human bounty and then bringing them over to their countries where these Africans remained slaves for the rest of their lives. This went on for generations after generations with nobody ever raising a voice against this cruelty anywhere.
In all Muslim countries slavery is now illegal. What is taking place in the Middle Eastern countries which employ millions of foreign workers, is something that can termed as a "modern-day slavery." The Arabs got rich overnight when they struck oil and gas. They now have MONEY. Other nations who come to work in this region, are here just to get some of that cash. Hence, the poverty back home of foreign workers or the desire to make the fast buck, cause them accept everything their "masters" demand, This includes both you and me.
The glitter of the Riyal is just too great, Daniel, just too great!
Hello, We must think for the long term benefits .... each and every rule is for our own good ..... we must think deep and accept the system which is in place for our better good well ..... I am so happy ...... will remain so ......
Slavery is legal in Islam even though it is illegal in the common law. However, since most people here are Muslims they will have no real will to change the Kafala system. It makes life easier for them.
My dad who worked in S Arabia for 25 years was telling us every year of this change taking pace, that it would end very soon. Nothing happened during those 25 years.
It will end the day the mentality and thinking of the people of this region change. So you can wait say another 25 years for this to take place.

thetruth14, are you in Qatar? Kafala system most likely may not change. however, changing Jobs and doing business has changed a great deal.
You would need to emphasis on your question.
