Comments on: The Shaytan Side of the Muslim NYC: Dubai http://www.mujahideenryder.net/2006/03/29/the-shaytan-side-of-the-muslim-nyc-dubai/ Not the average Muslim blog... Mon, 08 Sep 2008 02:13:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: wafiyyah ali http://www.mujahideenryder.net/2006/03/29/the-shaytan-side-of-the-muslim-nyc-dubai/#comment-2135 wafiyyah ali Sat, 01 Apr 2006 20:53:32 +0000 #comment-2135 Assalamu Alaikum, I'm glad you you've brought this issue to attention. It's estimated that there are over 27 million slaves worldwide, most probably this is an underestimation. Although the article lists that these imported workers are paid whatever diminutive amount they do, they are essentially slaves due to the fact that they are bonded by an exorbitant debt they do not even know they incur. In summary, they are kept for long periods of time in a place they cannot escape, and see very little, if any, of the money that they are supposed to be making. I think it's very unfortunate that this type of injustice still exists in the world. It is even more unfortunate that there are muslims that are propagating these capitalist ideals. A far cry from the mercy, justice and charity that our religion has taught us. I suppose we can only spread awareness of the issues, as you have done, and make du'a for our fellow Muslims who are not in our privileged situations. Ameen Assalamu Alaikum,

Fitnah is rampant here... Just the other day the airport people did a strike because they werent being treated properly. Other then this issue, Dubai has lost it's traditional, cultural and religious roots in it's race to become more westernized and modern. 70 to 75 percent people living in Dubai are Non-muslims, usually come from the west. There are night clubs here, parties where alcohol is sneaked in, etc and Muslims visit Clubs, drink, and they'r all involved in it too. But you can't blame only the non-muslims for this, maybe to a certain extent you can because they introduce new things, but as Muslims we can control ourselved too. I could go on and on but yeah... I guess the little difference is that Dubai is still a Muslim country and you can hear the adhan everday and not be criticized for your Muslim clothing. [Though that is being questioned too now these days] The worst is the Youth, they are so involved into this dunya, it's sad. Half of them don't even pray five times a day. But alhamdulilah there ARE people who are practicing, even though they've become a minority in Dubai, but they'r are people who'r religious.. Alhamdulilah. Masalamah. It’s true.

When I think of Dubai I think more of "engineering" or "development" than "Islam." Definitely a beautiful city, no doubt...but billion dollar contracts/investments/loans in a VERY <b>rapidly</b> developing city can bring about these types of problems.

I do thank you for bringing this issue some attention. Something definately needs to be done about it. I guess Dubai is actually a good place to start just because they have free speech. But i think its going to be hard to let go becasue most Arab country's economies depend on this system. But InshAllah we can do it! @ Ryder:

May Allah (swt) forgive me. I just read the article and posted some quotes from that article. I haven't read anything about Saudi, but I believe this is also true. But Saudi is famous for its shaytan said, while Dubai isn't. I always think of Dubai as a nice Muslim city. Saudi has a lot of problems. May Allah (swt) get rid of them. Ameen!
