The nerve of the Prosecutors!Reader comment on item: Slave-Holding Muslim Immigrants in the West Submitted by Thatzlife (United States), Dec 29, 2008 at 17:08 The nerve! Just look at history and see how White people enslaved and tortured people and to this day many do not feel anything was wrong with it. Go read some history on what really took place as the whites brought Africans to America. Now they want to throw people in prison for having maids?;when the type of slavery they forced on innocent Africans was the most inhumane ever!

It was a normal and accepted thing for well-off Whites.) Do they even look at that as an injustice? These same prosecutors would most likely say, " oh no, that's different!...my grandparents were being gracious to even hire them." (oddly enough, the same rationale the Egyptians used to justify their own hiring of maids right?) Submitting....
