Wait what? Outside of ISIS and groups like that there is no slavery legal in any country. Kafala isn’t actually slavery, despite its abuses. And middle eastern countries have become substantial more liberal humanist during the last 50 years which is assuredly a result of cultural exchange. King Abdullah II in Jordan, Malik Dalan, Osama El-Baz, etc the list of active reformers that are Harvard alum and power brokers in Arabic counties is long. Longer still are the people who don’t get headlines for liberal reform but push the society leftward year over year. Even hard core counties like Saudi Arabia are significantly more open and liberal than they were 50 years ago.

not really up to date with reality are we? there are tons of "permanently employed illegals" with dubious chances of payment . Half the fighting done in libya, sudan, yemen is done by refugees pressured into service.
