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.

Next question to Alpo:
How many people have Christians and Jews killed for apostasy this century?

Another question for Alpo:
How many religions are Christians and Jews in active conflict with?

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.

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 :-).


I rest my case.
