'Arab Times' Article Claims Maids Are Jews Who Practice Black Magic

The Kuwaiti Arab Times printed one of the silliest articles we have ever seen here at Women Against Shariah. The article makes very weird claims about Jewish maids working in the country despite an extremely tiny number of Jews in Kuwait. The majority fled the country in the last few decades. The article also uses a somewhat politically incorrect and racist term, "Falasha," which is often applied to Ethiopian Jews. Aside from the strange claims, the author writes that "sources" claim these "Jewish maids" are really witches who practice black magic. Racism and antisemitism seems to be an issue in this oil-rich and backwards country.

Here it is:

There are about 1,800 Jewish maids working in Kuwaiti households, reports Alam Alyawm daily quoting Interior Ministry sources.

The same sources said these maids are citizens of India, Bangladesh and Ethiopia. The sources also warned such maids practice black magic and may have allegiance to Israel.

They thoughts and opinions may also constitute a danger to Muslim families - either Kuwaiti or expatriate - and may have an ill effect on our children.

The sources added the origin of most of these maids is believed to be Falasha.
