New translation, the Magna Carta

“A group of religious figures in Saudi Arabia have threatened to strike the labor minister who seeks to create jobs for women with “deadly prayers.” They threatened to pray that he gets cancer like his predecessor Ghazi al-Gosaibi, who died of the disease in 2010.

“During a meeting at the labor ministry on Tuesday, about 200 religious figures accused Minister Adel Fakeih of executing a “Westernization” plan and asked him to ban women from working in lingerie shops within a month or he will face their dangerous prayers.” [Quoted from english.alarabiya.net]

Do them for witchcraft!

Adel Fakeih is approximately 52, his predecessor, al-Gosaibi, was 70.
About half of males die of cancer.

“As an example of Saudis rejecting menial jobs, many said it was humiliating for Saudi women to work as maids, with some claiming it was un-Islamic.”

“In a surprising statement Saudi Arabia's Labour Minister has said 86 percent of expatriate workers do menial jobs that "do not suit Saudis."

There are two million unemployed Saudis in the oil rich Kingdom, yet eight million expatriate workers. Arab News reported Labour Minister Adel Fakeih said around six million expatriates on low salaries "do menial jobs that do not suit Saudis."

The country is in the midst of a Saudization drive aimed at creating more work for Saudi citizens. The government has succeeded in creating some jobs for women, who comprise 85 percent of the unemployed, by banning men from working in certain areas such as female lingerie shops."
