UPDATE to: "Christians Under Sharia Law: Forced Conversions, Beatings, Rape"

An update on kidnapped 13- and 10-year old Pakistani Christian girls. A Muslim judge declared that they have converted to Islam and cannot see their family again.

The Judge never saw them.

Update about the adolescent girls who were kidnapped and forced into conversion. Seems they did so "voluntarily." "Kidnapped Christian girls, judge ratifies marriage and conversion," by Qaiser Felix, for Asian News, July 16:

The district of Muzaffargarh rules in favour of the Muslims, rejecting the request from the family that wants to bring home the two sisters - 13 and 10 years old - kidnapped last June 26. Christian associations charge that they could end up as prostitutes.
Jihad Watch: Muslim "judge" rules kidnapped Christian girls "converted to Islam and cannot return home"

What's CAIR's stand on this?

UPDATE
The New American Slavery

Varsha Sabhnani

[UPDATE to "Illegal Immigration and the Return of Slavery to America"]

Illegal Immigration and the Return of Slavery to America detailed, among others, the story of two Indonesian housekeepers who were literally enslaved by a wealthy Long Island couple. A federal judge recently awarded the two housekeepers almost one million dollars in back wages.

Compensation has followed liberation.

Judge Arthur Spatt said Friday the maids were entitled to double their unpaid wages because they were abused while working around the clock for Varsha and Mahender Sabhnani.

The victims have testified that they were beaten, slashed with knives and compelled to take freezing showers for such misdeeds as sleeping late in what prosecutors had said amounted to a "modern-day slavery" case.

The judge awarded the housekeepers a total of more than $936,000 — at least $700,000 more than the Sabhnanis' lawyers considered reasonable.

The Muttowntown couple was convicted in December of charges including forced labor. Varsha Sabhnani has been sentenced to 11 years in prison, her husband to 3 years and 4 months.

$1,000,000.

Deserved.

JUDGE'S RULING ONLY GOOD NEWS LAST FEW DAYS
The only good news that's been reported in the last week for Duane "Dog" Champman has been the news that the last attempt to jail him for his Mexican adventure that brought him to fame is over,

This was reported yesterday, but a more in-depth report is now presented. More from aol:

Television bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman, who had his reality show taken off the air after getting caught using a racial slur, will not be extradited to Mexico to face a pending appeal of kidnapping charges against him, a judge ruled Monday.

The U.S. government had been trying to send Chapman, his son Leland Chapman and a third man to the resort town of Puerto Vallarta, where they were charged with kidnapping Andrew Luster, a Max Factor heir who had jumped a $1 million bond on charges that he drugged and raped three women.

Luster's disappearance during his trial in California set off an international manhunt by police, FBI and bounty hunters trying to recoup some of the bond money. In June 2003, Chapman and the others apprehended Luster, and the fugitive was taken back to the United States to serve the 124-year sentence he was given while on the lam.

But because bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, prosecutors in that country charged the three with kidnapping and asked U.S. authorities to arrest the trio and ship them to Puerto Vallarta.

A Mexican judge dismissed the kidnapping charges in July, ruling that Mexican prosecutors had taken too long in their attempts to bring the trio to trial. But Mexican prosecutors appealed the ruling, and the U.S. attorney's office in Honolulu, where the senior Chapman lives, declined to dismiss the extradition proceedings pending the outcome.

Still, U.S. Magistrate Judge Barry Kurren in Honolulu on Monday dismissed the extradition attempt because the judge said the three are no longer charged with any offenses, despite the appeal.

"I don't think they have any regrets whatsoever in facilitating the capture of Mr. Luster, who is a known and convicted rapist," his San Francisco lawyer, James Quadra, said Monday. "Though this has been a difficult process, they are proud of what they have done."

Co-counsel Brook Hart said in Honolulu that Chapman and his wife, "while very appreciative of the court's ruling, are not celebrating today" in light of the tempest created by his use of racial epithets.

Dog will be on Larry King Live tonight to discuss the affair with Mr. Softball himself. Known for presenting an unvarnished image to the public, he'll look for just a bit of varnish at CNN.
