CNN carried a report last week about a former Indonesian sex slave in Saudi Arabia.
At the age of 17 the woman was promised a job as a maid in Saudi Arabia by an Indonesian recruitment agency. Coming from a poor family, she was happy to be selected for the job out of hundreds of other women. The employer asked for a “virgin, brown-skinned, tall housemaid”, the woman recalled.
Two weeks after she had arrived to the sponsor’s house, her abuse began. She was constantly molested, asked to massage a man’s privates, and threatened that if she refused, she won’t get paid. At her first chance to escape, the woman fled her employer and ended up in a shelter run by Indonesian. But the relief she felt was misleading – she was sold to a pimp for $1,300 and forced to work as a sex slave. She was raped and sodomized for over a year on a daily basis. She managed to escape when Saudi police raided the brothel. However, her misery didn’t end there; she was jailed for six months and only then deported back home.
The woman reported her case to the police, but the Indonesian agency that employed her has since disappeared.

HI
AS FAR AS I KNOW SAUDI ARABIA IS THE MOST DIRTY PARTS OF THE WORLD, THEIR SINS ARE COVERED BECOZ OF THE MEDIA WHO IS CONTROLLED BY THE KINGDOM. ALL THE TERRORISM IN THE WORLD IS FUNDED BY SAUDI ARABIA. I WORKED THERE FOR 07YRS I KNOW THEIR HABITS, VERY WELL.
HOW A WOMEN IS TREATED IN THE MUSLIM WORLD I KNOW, THE WOMEN IS SLAVE, SHE IS BEING RAPED EVERYDAY EITHER BY THE PERSON WHO IS CALLED HER HUSBAND OR RELATIVES BUT RARELY REPORTED.
NOTHING GOOD CAN COME FROM THE SOCIETY WHO FOLLOW THE DUDE MOHAMED, HE IS THEIR MODEL MAN. SO WILL BE HIS FOLLOWERS.
MAY GOD BRING PEACE AND LOVE IN THAT COUNTRY.
WITH LOVE AND PRAY

Hello Varghese
I am apalled that you lived in Saudi Arabia for 7 years but were not able to comprehend things …. not knowing your background I can’t say anything for sure.
But would like to clarify very LOUDLY the place of women in Islam ….. please do not equate the word “Saudi” with “Islam”. The teaching of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) are very clear about rape, abuse or anything else.
I am sure you are aware of the recent Irish church story … I being Muslim would never say it is Christianity because Jesus was a prophet of Allah and his teachings could never allow that either.
What happened to the indonesian lady, is deplorable and very sad. Justice should be sought and those who are culprit should be punished …… their crime is not because of their religion rather because they have not followed the religion.
To all the readers: Please do not be quick in judging Islam or any other religion. Know their teachings through the source not through the ignorant people who happen are called the followers of religion just because they are born that way. There is no dearth of people who are converted to Islam all over the world …
May God give wisdom and vision to all to see through clearly ….

Hassan,
Firstly the mathematical probability that you are or will become a terrorist is about 1100 times more than the guy who posted before you. If you think I am kidding you should read the Koran again, find out all the people causing all the terrorism in the world for the past 15 years and then go deeper and calculate. After that let me know how should I treat a guy like you. Consider it the foolishness of the non-Islamic that people from your faith are still allowed to exist on the planet.
What is currently happening in the world due to Islam are only symptoms. The real troubles lie ahead of us. The underlying problem with Islam is that it is the ‘religion’ of the bottom quartile of society as far as intellect goes. The only way to real power as far as the bottom quartile can see and also realistically is to through violence. And that is all they are doing right now and will do in the future. Rise higher in society through violence. To see it any other way is to complicate things.

Hi K. I would like to introduce you to a person called Adolf Hitler (Germany), a well known Christian terrorist who killed millions of people in few years purely based on his religion. Do you follow the same religion who supposedly orders you kill everyone else than your own religion?
I would like to know if you are a follower of that kind of Christians?
Please check the list and mathematically what your own religion says about your or any other Christians becoming a terrorist? I remember there were only few Muslim countries involved in first and second world wars? Do you still want to relate religion with terrorism?
If you see before 15 years, do you see any so-called Muslim terrorist?

Pathetic Mr. Vargheese. Almost All Christians are like You. They never understand. They Only know How to Misunderstand. Just Like How they Misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Christian Brains Are thoroughly Polluted to that extend they cannot Distinguish between right and wrong.

Dear Mr. Varghese and my dear racist, radical K
What happened with the poor Indonesian girl, is absolutely wrong and the culprits should face strong punishments, which eventually takes place in Saudi law.
I’ve few questions for both of you guys (I think Varghese prefer the world DUDE). Well let me start with Dude Varghese. Mr. Varghese are you a media person ? Have you interviewed a couple of women from Saudi Arabia ? Are you a active political member ? Is there any women from Saudi Arabia has complained to you or to any one in the world about their sex life ? Do you have any close family relations with Saudi nationals so that you came to know their internal family lives, that too specifically from their bed rooms ? I don’t think you have a single answer for any of my questions. If you have no answers for my simple questions, then I advice all the fellow bloggers, such Ahmed & Qasrani not to consider Varghese in a serious manner. Dude Varghese is a kid-adult personality, just ignore him.
Now let me take on my dear racist K. In 90’s there are only few people knows the definition for terrorism, but in this millennium almost all the world knows who are the real terrorists or founders of the terrorisms. They are well aware about Nazi’s, Jews, Iraq Mass Destruction Weapons, Iran Nuclear Threats, Afghan and Pakistan Terrorism Control and now China Internet Freedom so on so forth. If you are a Christian you must have knowledge about the “Army of God.”
You should have spend time reading more before you comment K, really that might help you to gain an appreciation.
I’m sure you must be know that Mr. Bill Clinton, former president of US, who ordered terrorizing attack on Iraq just to divert the public attention towards his sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky. And the whole world knows what kind of Super Cop role playing by US just to cop-up with their economical problems. These are bigger segments than your capacity dude (oh sorry Varghese is the god damn fucking cool dude, not you).
Well sex slaves are very where in every country. You can find sex slavery in very society from even in West and in Europe my dear K. It is the subject related with Man and his sexual urge, has nothing to do with any country or religion. If you have the eyes, and those eyes are open and capable of seeing and accepting the facts, you can see such things in every country in every society in this digital age even. Sex slavery is existing in the same Indonesia for which immature personalities like Varghese and racists like you are blogging.
Finally I’d like to conclude that I’m not in support of Saudi Arabian culprit or I’m not against humanity. No being an educated and matured person I’m capable of seeing the facts. Thereby I came forward to articulate to the innocent people who might get some misunderstanding due to your immaturity and partialities.
But I’d like to advise you and Dude Varghese to take a psychological evaluation man, you both seems have some mental problems.
No hard feelings, Thanks.
