Another Saudi Family Convicted of Slavery in Colorado

Gateway Pundit: Another Saudi Family Convicted of Slavery in Colorado

Call me crazy and off base, but I figure they're only doing what is common back home.

This really helps the image of muslims around the world...

Gateway Pundit has an agenda to be sure. And some of the readers that agenda attracts are racists or fools or both.

I'm a tad right wing, but my perception is that the Western media actually treds lightly and fails to reminder readers of the corpus of examples of Saudi experience with the American criminal justice system. So I see Gateway Pundit as one more instance where bloggers add value.

Thus: I still am inclined to the inference that Saudi society has allowed itself to see abuse of hired help as behavior that does not bring the scorn of the community on those who practice it.

One sees patterns and one asks questions. It is up to Saudis to say such behavior is repulsive, and it is up to individuals Saudis speak out and to set the record straight, if Gateway's got it wrong, and show that the pattern observed is not representative of the average.

Racial profiling - statistical discrimination - is a belief about a population that is based on evidence. Bring us more evidence, show us that our sample is biased and we will gladly update our priors.

I wonder if those who believe the Elders of Zion stories would do the same.

It's simply false to claim that western media is not at least equally fervent in exposing criminal behavior of westerners - look at the treatment the Catholic Church has deservedly received for turning bad priests lose on young boys - sorry to say, there's a pattern of behavior here - and the latest story of a Catholic priest convicted of a ritual slaying of a nun - no pattern here of ritual killings by priests, but could be a pattern of the church lacking the will to expose its own.

"It is hard to believe that the media obsession with these stories is solely driven by genuine concern..."

The media in the west is owned and operated by Jews. And this influence is increasing all over the world. The aim is to misinform the world population and hold our minds hostage. How else can you explain this "media obsession" that Bandicoot has documented?

It is not a mere matter of simply reporting news, as you would innocently like us to believe. It is part of the concerted worldwide conspiracy to malign certain people groups and religious groups. Journalists all over the world are secretly part of this nefarious design.

Just because the item may not have appeared on the front page does not mean there is no "obsession".

The last comment is so generically typical of some mentalities that I have to believe it is composed by a Westerner to mock those mentalities.

If I am mistaken, anonymous, wake up and smell the coffee. Face reality. Jews do not run the world, they do not control the media, and they certainly do not control the blogosphere nor do they control what we choose to listen to read or believe.

The first step in taking control of your own destiny is to leave fantasy behind and to possess a basic understanding of cause and effect.

If the media misunderstands you or misrepresents you, explain yourself and find a venue to broadcast your defense. Arm yourself with facts, and articulate your argument well. There's plenty of folks ready to listen and be convinced. Blaming Jews for your failure to communicate is lame. Lame.
