UAE Torture videos

Reader comment on item: Caught on Tape: The Middle East's Culture of Cruelty

Submitted by Tess from Australia (Australia), May 16, 2009 at 13:12

Dear Dr Pipes

it is with sadness and disgust I read the above article on UAE and the torture of that poor man. The powerful in arabian lands have always appeared to lack a sense of respect for human life and willingness to use torture. It serves as a warning to the west governments to think carefully whom they do deals with, todays friends may be tomorrows frenemies or enemies.

If yu lie down with dogs you come up with fleas as my grandmother used to say.

There is a massive divide between ideology of islam and christianity and judaism, it shows with how human beings are treated , the way that the most vulnerable in the world are treated in any land shows the true spirit of the culture.

Keep up the good work sir the world needs you. Tess
