[RC] The Sultan's Slave Trade - Antonio_CorbellettaHi All, Boy where do I start...First off I am surprised that so many folks are so naive regarding that part of the world and that religion. The practice of slavery has been going on there for centuries and is condoned both culturally and religiously. Look at what is going on in the Sudan. In that part of the world, life, human or other wise is not valued as we value it. Have any of you heard of "suicide bombers"? The mothers of these fine examples are very proud and happy to give their children up for the "cause". Heck, if they are perfectly willing to blow up innocent people anywhere in the world for whatever the cause may be, what makes you think they are going to give a rat's about have some kid piloting a camel. Just look at the results when the grown ups pilot planes... There are something like 12 to 14 active wars/conflicts going on in the world right now, all of them involve the Muslims not being able or willing to get along with their neighbors or other religions. That should tell you something of the mind set. As far as participating in the UAE events, maybe a very small step in getting them to see things from a western point? When they came to Tevis they must have seen that we got something better going on here, maybe...
