A Kuwaiti social media star is facing a backlash after criticising new laws improving conditions for the country’s Filipino domestic workers.

Sondos Alqattan, an Instagram star and makeup artist with over 2.3 million followers, criticised new laws giving Filipino workers a day off per week and preventing employers from seizing their passports.

“How can you have a servant at home who keeps their own passport with them? What’s worse is they have one day off every week,” she said in a video posted online, which has gone viral and attracted criticism in the Middle East and the Philippines.

Alqattan slated reforms introduced in May to protect the rights of Filipino domestic workers: “If they run away and go back to their country, who will refund me?


When I was studying in Ann Arbor, there was a Kuwaiti woman downstairs from me who kept an Indian slave. There is no other way to describe it. The poor slave woman was not allowed to leave the apartment, ever, and was very badly treated. Very timid. The Kuwaiti was a domineering entitled bitch. So this article sounds quite familiar.

Violence in the name of religion is bad, but again there is nothing to point out that Muslims are any more violent than Christians or Jews and I can throw as many numbers as you can :-).


How many Christian or Jew suicide bombers can you point out?

Whatever happened to the good old days when there were lots of slaves available at affordable prices with low interest rates,

If you have to finance them you shouldn't have slaves.


WTF. If we had price controls on slaves, we wouldn't have to finance them. I can't even afford to rent one.

was hoping that at the very least he would fix traffic on Highway 101,


If Trump tried (for some inexplicable reason) to fix a state highway (which isn’t the Federal government’s responsibility), the Democrats who control the state would raise hell and block his efforts with legal challenges.

Keep that in mind when you consider what he has and hasn’t been able to accomplish. He’s fighting upriver to get anything done.

I think the real question is why would you need a human guided bomb when you have a precision guided missile that can go well beyond what any human guided bomb can do :-)

ROFL. So far you have thrown out Zero.

Next question to Alpo:
How many people have Christians and Jews killed for apostasy this century?
110   Strategist   2018 Jul 28, 9:59am  

Another question for Alpo:
How many religions are Christians and Jews in active conflict with?
111   alpo   2018 Jul 28, 10:26am  

Whichever way you cherry pick the numbers, the facts are that Christian and Jews aren't any less voilent than Muslims. They have their terrorists and suicide bombers and you have your Tomohawk Cruise and stealth fighters. You think its ok to fire of hundreds of missiles and carpet bomb an area to create "peace and freedom" and they think its ok to send terrorists, suicide bombers, and fund radical sects across the world to "create the next caliphate". But if you are somehow claiming that Christian and Jewish world is more "advanced and peaceful" than the Muslim world, I find that very difficult to believe given the large scale use of violence on both sides that continues to bring down the general environment across the planet.
