Quoting zhang ziyi:

Be fair and speak about the slavery in Middle East that is still there. Arabs were the slavery dealers once in history, it was them who caught Africans and sold to Europeans.



Again your information is wrong. The Arabs may have been involved in the slave trade, but it is not the Arabs who started it, or were they the only ones involved in it. Actually I believe the Portuguese had the most involvement in the begining of the African slave trade.

Most black slaves were put into slavery by their own people. Either they were prisoners of war, captives from raids or unwanted. I really don't think anyone could have imagined the fate those poor people had in store for them once they to the "New World". Slavery in the New World was unprecedented in inhumane treatment.

Mumbai girl's parents get life term for killing her

Mumbai: A Mumbai Sessions Court on Friday sentenced Mehnaz Bano's parents to life imprisonment after holding them guilty of killing the girl and destroying evidence.

Mehnaz, a resident of Nagpada, was killed by her parents and minor sister on July 2, 2006, for being in love with a Hindu boy. The 18-year-old Mehnaz's parents confessed to having strangled her.

The Nagpada police tracked her father Mohammed Munna Khan through the identification of his employer's company logo on the sacks. Khan and his wife Shehnaz Khan were arrested and during interrogation, they confessed to their crime.

Mehnaz's father admitted he chopped her body into 11 pieces, and dumped it in two sacks beneath the Byculla flyover in South Mumbai.

Their 14-year-old daughter, who was accused of abetting the crime, is in a juvenile home.

Jordanian boy murders sister for 'honour'

AMMAN: A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murdering his 23-year-old sister in an apparent "honour killing", a judicial official said.

The unnamed suspect reportedly stabbed his sister 10 times in the heart on Wednesday in a village in the north-eastern governorate of Mafraq, said the official.

"He has confessed to murdering his sister because she disappeared from home for a month with a boyfriend," the official said. It was the seventh reported so-called "honour" killing this year, according to security officials.

In 2007, Jordanian authorities recorded 17 such murders, slightly up on previous years.

Killers in such cases, however, often receive light sentences if convicted, as the parliament has twice refused to reform the penal code despite pressure from human rights groups to end the near impunity of the perpetrators.

Yemen: Camel urine trade flourishing

Sanaa, 11 July (AKI) - Camel urine, considered an ancient Islamic 'remedy' from the time of the Prophet Mohammed, has become big business for men and women in Yemen.

The urine has become fashionable recently among Yemen's young people, who claim that it strengthens the scalp, slows hair loss and promotes healthy hair.

According to the Arab TV network al-Arabiya, hair salons throughout the country are requesting this precious 'tonic' and selling it at four dollars a litre - a high price considering the income level of most of the buyers.

"I have been using camel urine since I have been going to elementary school," said Amal, a university student in Sanaa.

"The first time a neighbour told me that she had been using it (urine) for many years, because it made her hair more beautiful and shiny. Now everyone in my home uses it."

The use of the urine is not just limited to women. Men have reportedly also been using it to prevent or stop hair loss.

"Many young men use the camel's urine. I am forced to buy large quantities for my business," said Hasan, a barber.

A boom in the sale of camel urine has prompted people to begin breeding more camels, and they are constantly being given liquids in order to collect more urine.

Nomadic camel breeders have benefited the most from the sale of urine. The breeders are usually in the most remote areas of the country such as Hudeida and Mukallah provinces.

Some people also claim that camel urine is good for the liver, a claim discredited by the University of Sanaa that said it was harmful for the digestive system.

The use of camel urine could have its roots in Islamic religion. In the Prophet Mohammed's "sunna" (or tradition), it talks about the benefits of camel milk and urine.

In a "hadith" (or narrative), foreigners are said to have gone to the holy city of Medina with high fever and the Prophet Mohammed ordered them to leave the city and drink urine and milk from a camel to help them recover.

I don't know what your point is....but it looks like you have only skimmed the surface of rather odd and unexplored out of context facts.....as usual, many get carried away with things and next thing you know people are smearing themselves with camel p**s Actually it seems people have been facinated with urine for centuries....but I digress..

Did it ever cross your mind that there may have been some reason for the original use of camel urine?

It may interest you to know that the main ingredient in the most prescribed medication for women contains mare urine?

pregnant mare urine

urine therapy

cow urine


Anyway...that's just a start on the human facination with the subject. Evidently, there is some benefit in various uses of the urine of different creatures....argh...

Alameda, I think the point is the same as of anything else - sharing information.
