"Israel Has a Phd in Deception"

Interestingly, this Imran Hossein lecture was given in 2003- some time before the Israeli invasions of both Gaza and southern Lebanon- and, in it, he suggests that Israel is planning wars of aggression which will be presented as self-defence.

"Pay the worker his wage before his sweat dries.”

An informative website detailing different products, in various locations worldwide, which may have been produced using forced labour (AKA modern day slavery).
http://www.productsofslavery.org/

Prophet Muhammed (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) advised us to change a wrong action with our hands, in the first instance, and if we are unable to do that, then we should condemn it by our speech. If we are so powerless that we are unable to do even that, then we should hate such wrong action in our hearts. Allah's messanger (pbuh) also said, "pay the worker before his sweat dries" and ."..assist any person oppressed whether Muslim or non-Muslim"
 
There may be definite scope to embody some of these principles by taking action to oppose the unjust treatment of workers.
 
The problem of maid abuse is a blight on some oil rich Arab societies, too and one which, so far, governments in those regions have been lack lustre on. How far have Muslim societies strayed from the prophetic guidance.
