Two crown princes in the UAE have had suit filed against them in a Florida court (the princes own property in Florida), accusing them of enslaving as many as 30,000 children for the purposes of camel breeding and racing. Camels are raced in the middleeast and jockeyed by very young boys..
Boys as young as two are taken from Islamic countries like the Sudan and Bangledesh.
UAE is an ally of the U.S., but also a major violator of the international laws on human trafficking.
Islam permits the holding of slaves, but not Muslims, who are after all already slaves of God. For camel jockeys and harems, you need Christians.. My guess is that its gotten pretty hard to abduct young Christians in the past, but it looks like it could be soon getting a lot easier in Europe.
