Why haven't we heard about the slavery that still exists in Muslim nations?

I think we do. One example being the human rights violations surrounding World Cup construction in Qatar.

As always, you must check your sources. I see things at least on a monthly basis about the continued existence of slavery in west African countries. Mali and Mauritania still practice slavery in "minor" forms. If memory serves me right, I believe Mauritania was one of the last countries to outlaw slavery, but as mentioned before it is still practiced, especially in the desert areas far removed from the cities. In some of the Arab countries, the south Asians who come to work there can easily find themselves in abusive situations- being treated like subhumans and only being able take payment through a home and food, which makes it next to impossible to escape from their "employers."

Finally! An easy one to answer simply. The reason this isn't all over the media is the same reason the death of Freddie Mercury isn't all over the media. It's really old news, for which there is a general assumption that most educated people are already aware. Congratulations on catching up though! By the way, sneak peak, we made it to the moon as well ;0)

Imagine the modern liberal who complains about the US being built on the labor of slaves and then touting the virtues of places like Dubai while they ignore the slave labor, income inequality and misogynist attitudes as the muslims build their empire. But it's ok over their because it's part of their culture. Hypocrites!!!

SPC Nathan Freeman I suspect the reason we don't hear a lot about slavery in Muslim countries is for the same reason that stories about the kidnapping of young girls and boys who are most likely destined for the sex trade tend to be short lived.
In a nation where euthanasia has been declared legal in the northwest and Planned Parenthood is selling body parts of aborted babies, many people have been lulled to apathy by through inundation of horrible news. Only those with eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart sensitive to the Holy Spirit will have a tendency to have hearts of flesh when remembering how badly people treat each other.

Hell in the US you can have O'Pears (I think that is how it is spelled) Ex-Pats from other countries that function as Maid, House Care Taker and Live In Babysitter and Hopefully they are not abused but there are plenty of cases where they are abused by their "Employer". I think there was a big case recently about one in Hong Kong. In many cases these Ex-Pats become virtual slaves to send some small amount of Money Home. As far as being "Silent" we Liberals actually do care. How Many Liberal News Services do you follow? How many overseas News Services do you follow? Or is it just that FOX tells you that Liberals are Hypocrites and don't care? Or Breitbart? Or Whatever Reich Wing Rag that you Read?

To better address this question, I'll have to pose another question: Who funds and manages the press in those nations? I'll bet my next paycheck there are some slave owners who have keen interest in "what" information leaves their country's borders.

or how about because the republicans who made deals with these countries to sell them weapons and give them financial aid decided it would look bad to mention. BTW those were republicans like Reagan who brokered these deals.
