ARABIAN SLAVE STATES

The Perfect Religion Promotes Human Bondage?

Yes! says "Holy" teacher

The age-old slave trade continues in the modern age, especially trade of women for prostitution, child sex slaves and forced laborers, particularly in four wealthy Arab Gulf States, which are among the world's worst offenders.  In total, the United States on June 3, 2005 accused 14 nations of failing to do enough to stop slave trading.

Human rights groups have highlighted human trafficking problems in Arabia for years but this year Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates were downgraded to Tier 3, the lowest level of compliance. The report evaluates countries' efforts in fighting the trafficking of roughly 800,000, mostly women and children, forced into servitude or the sex trade every year, often lured with false promises of work or other benefits.

The downgrade ranks the four Arab Gulf States with such countries as Burma (Myanmar), North Korea and Sudan as well as Cuba, Ecuador and Venezuela. Bolivia, Equatorial Guinea and Jamaica.  Cambodia and Togo were also downgraded to Tier 3 this year. Tier 3 lists nations that  “do not fully comply with the minimum standards (laid down by U.S. law) and are not making significant efforts to do so.'' Officials from the Gulf countries have made no comment on the downgrade for a de facto promotion of slavery.

Slaves to the Arab Gulf States are imported mostly from Asia to serve as domestic servants and laborers, women prostitutes and boy camel jockeys as young as three, according to the annual report. The report cited the case of a 17-year-old orphan, Lusa, who was kidnapped from Uzbekistan and sold into a slavery ring in the United Arab Emirates. She was eventually “no longer usable'' as a prostitute and the emirates' immigration service said she should serve a two-year prison sentence for entering the country illegally.

...Allah sufficeth as Knower and Beholder of the sins of His slaves...

Qur’an, Sūrah 17

Saudi Arabia is accused of having turned a blind eye to the problem of poor or low-skilled workers brought into the country and exploited, or who go there voluntarily but find themselves in ''involuntary servitude.'' Saudi employers physically and sexually abuse migrants, withhold pay and travel documents and use migrant children as forced beggars, the report said. ''We have domestic workers being brought in from many countries into domestic servitude, child beggars, a lot of beatings, reports of beatings and rape,'' said a spokesman.

Nations in the lowest category may be subject to sanctions, including the withholding of U.S. aid that is not for humanitarian or trade purposes, if they do not improve their records in three months. The American administration may balk at applying sanctions, fearing a backlash from the OPEC members and, even if applied, sanctions would have little practical effect on the wealthy Arab Gulf oil exporters. The main impact of the blacklist may be to create a stigma that raises awareness of trafficking in the countries and prods governments to tackle the problem.

SAUDI KING'S DEATH ENDS 23 YEAR REIGN

 

 

The death of Saudi King Fahd was announced on August 1, ending a reign of 23 years. The king, age 82, was rumored to have been kept alive for the sake of the stability of the throne in a state-of-the-art palace hospital since his stroke in 1995. Crown Prince Abdullah was named king. Abdullah, the Saudi de facto ruler since 1996, had been shoring up support for his succession to the throne in the face of competition from the powerful Sudaire faction led by Princes Sultan and Nayef (See Saudi Royal Rumble, below). At his April 2005 summit with the U.S. President, Abdullah received an endorsement of his claim to the throne together with a renewed U.S.- Saudi Arabian alliance. 

Prince Sultan advanced to crown prince and Prince Nayef became second prime minister, third in line to the throne, opening the way for eventual succession of a younger generation of royals; Abdullah, Sultan, Nayef and all preceeding kings have been brothers, sons of the kingdom's founder, King Abdel Aziz al-Saud. (A summary history of the line of succession is included below.)

"I promise God and you that I will adopt the Qur'an as the constitution and Islam as the course ... My concerns will be to establish righteousness and justice."  Abdullah's first address to the nation as king.

It is Saudi tradition that the king is king for life and the long illness of King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz had left his kingdom in a state of great uncertainty. The King suffered a stroke in 1995 and his brother Crown Prince Abdullah was charged with fighting the insurgents and carrying out needed reforms without the authority of a reigning monarch, and, as well, up in the air was the question of succession when the king dies.  Abdullah succeeded to the throne at the death of his brother but the kingdom still faces the prospect of a prolonged struggle as the royals in-fight for power. The bickering has begun and the distinction between the fight for the succession and the war against the insurgents has become blurred. The only thing certain is that the new configuration of the monarchy will be brief, given the advanced ages of the new King and Crown Prince. Support in the kingdom for radical Islamism continues to gain strength and the next succession is likely to be difficuly.

 

Of particular interest regarding the current succession was the suitability of Prince Nayef for the kingship. Nayef was the Interior Minister responsible for the campaign against the insurgents led by Saudi-born Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda. The attitude of the Interior Minister concerning the insurgency is seen to be very questionable, particularly regarding his ambivalence on religious extremism. How could a band of insurgents have penetrated the massively defended Kobar towers without royal collusion?  The question is asked in the light of the suspicion that Nayef has equivocated in his stance against the insurgents in order to protect his influence with Wahhabi Islamist elements, including Al-Qaeda, in his attempts to be first in line for the royal succession.

 

Crown Prince, now King, Abdullah is thought to have sincerely begun to wage war against Islamist insurgents following last year’s suicide attacks in the kingdom and wanted the his position of Crown Prince to fall to his Foreign Minister, Saud al-Faisal, son of the assassinated King Faisal, when Abdullah becomes king. The most prominent pretender and ultimate successor as Crown Prince is Prince Sultan, Second Deputy Premier, Minister of Defense and Aviation and Inspector General. But he is nearly 80 years of age and had thrown his support to Nayef, 10 years younger. Nayef lead the opposition to Saud al-Faisal, weakening his power base by, for example, banishing Saud’s brother Turki al-Faisal to be ambassador to London in 2001, costing him his post as head of General Intelligence. In addition, he is said to hold fast to his tribal and religious supporters of the Wahhabi persuasion, holding back his counter-terrorism efforts while the kingdom’s oil resources fall under dire internal attack, playing a double game. If death should come to Abdullah, this Wahhabi stalwart would become king.

 

The royal feud between Princes Abdullah and Nayef has evoked charges, counter charges and insults between the two camps as Nayef accuses Abdullah of weakness for what is in fact his own failure to fully crack down on the insurgents, and Abdullah administered his own symbolic slaps in the face, suggesting, for instance, that the anti insurgency chief had been no better than a Zionist collaborator in his failure to reign in the insurgents. This is a very hurtful thing to imply, even indirectly, in the Kingdom of Hatred, where antijudaism is a virtual religious obligation.

 

And so, the insurgents continue to threaten to ravage the nation as the royals bicker and obfuscate, refusing to make accommodations.  Hope may be fading for very survival of the House of Saud.  The Al-Qaeda leadership must be marveling in their own mastery of politics and power as the world waits agog the outcome at the world’s major fountain of energy. Perhaps this is the reason for a sea change in the cooperative attitude of the Atlantic Alliance in recent weeks. It cannot exist without oil: it had to consider seizing the oil fields in the 1973 oil embargo. It may have to consider it again. It’s all politics, and politics and power are inseparable, as any fool can see, and in the kingdom of the Saudis, religious dogma is the matrix of of all politics and power.

Ibn Saud's "Royal" Line

King Abdul Aziz Ibn Abdul Rahman Al-Saud, known as Ibn Saud, (1979-1953) siezed the holy cities of Mecca and Medina and established the current kingdom in 1932, after making an alliance with Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, a radical Islamic theologian he had met while walking alone in the desert, according to legend.

Commercial quantities of oil were discovered in 1935 and, after World War II, partnerships were formed with other countries and the exportation of oil began, greatly enriching the kingdom. All subsequent kings, Saud, Faisal(assassinated), Khalid and Fahd, were chosen from among Ibn Saud'S 44 (officially recognized)sons with the subsequent approval of the ulema (the body of Muslim scholars trained in Islam and Islamic law).

The deceased King Fahd became King and Prime Minister in June, 1982 following the death his brother, King Khalid. Faud was the first to adopt the title Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, a reference to Mecca and Medina, to bolster the monarchy’s religious credentials and legitimacy. This followed the armed occupation of Mecca's Grand Mosque in November 1979 by a group of Wahhabi/Ikhwan militants led by Juhaiman al Utaibi. At this time Saudi Arabia’s deeply conservative clerics, followers of the strict, fundamentalist Wahhabi interpretation of Islam, strengthened their grip on the ulema and country and the world-wide dissemination of Wahhabi Islam began, paid for by the kingdom's lavish oil revenues. And then came —
