Sorry David S. but it&#039;s not media making up stories. They did it again and again in the past. check this link:

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - David S&#039;s comment is ironic, not literal. It&#039;s a reaction to EU Commissioner John Dalli&#039;s statement earlier this year that he thinks the violence is Libya is staged for the international cameras.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2011/08/the-gaddafis-are-the-21st-century-version-of-nero-and-caligula/#comment-91876&quot;&gt;Dudu&lt;/a&gt;.

I know that Libya is a North African country.

The point I wanted to make is that these savage practices are quite common in today&#039;s Middle East, particularly among the indegenous Arab population. I referred to the Middle East because, like Libya, it is populated by Arabs.

[&lt;strong&gt;Daphne - 1. Libya is not populated by Arabs. It is populated by North African people who speak Arabic. Arabic-speaking  does not = Arab, which is why the Maltese are considered - after centuries of debate - European. Nor does Arab = Muslim or Muslim = Arab. Savage practices are not common in &#039;the Middle East&#039;. They are common everywhere that people with absolutely no breeding and lots of money suddenly find themselves in control of servants. Even in Malta I know of Filipina maids who are treated like dirt, one of them made to sleep under the stairs like a dog. The only reason that grave crimes like this are not committed here is because the fear of prosecution and exposure is too great. But otherwise the circumstances lend themselves to it, starting from the fact that the common factor among women who savage their maids is their own &#039;imprisonment&#039; at the hands of their family or culture, which leads to them venting their anger on their maid or doing to the maid what has been done to them. Your comment shows ignorance and racist prejudice. By the same token, you might as well argue that &#039;all Arab men are very brave&#039; and that risking your life to overthrow a dictator is a common practice among &#039;Arabs&#039;.]&lt;/strong&gt;

@ La Redoute. Saudi Arabia is in the Middle East.

					<description><![CDATA[This  reminds me of the the horrific stories that emerged from Romania after the Caucescus were removed from power.

Remember the stories of Caucescu&#039;s sadistic son and the young girl (Olympic champion)  he used to force his attentions on? Incidentally. Caucescu was yet another bosom buddy of Mintoff who got a Gieh Ir-Repubblika.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This kind of savagery is very common in Middle Eastern middle class households particularly in Saudia Arabia where such stories are quite common.

This applies to construction workers in other Arab countries such as the UAE too, where they are treated as slaves. Arab countries have still a lot to answer for in terms of human rights.

					<description><![CDATA[Up to now I always thought and advocated that the Gaddafi clan should be given fair trials, when caught.

Now I honestly feel that they should be executed right away. They do not deserve any better, and when I say they, I am refering to all of them including their wives and children.

This might sound barbaric, but I would call it justice. No time should be wasted.

I read that his wife and daughter are said to be in England, if found they should be sent back to Libya to make sure they get what they all deserve.]]></description>
