one goes where he can get to. you ask why she and her family dont go to saudi arabia, well how do you get to saudi arabia? in all likelihood it is probably easier for someone in Morocco to go to France than Saudi Arabia, given the proximity, diaspora of north african people there, imperial guilt and easier immigration laws, none of which holds for Saudi Arabia. in short, asking why not go to SA is more or less a "let them eat cake" line of attack.

speaking of Saudi Arabia, one could mention the fact that that country has occasions of rape/exploitation of Filipina maids, which has on occasion been given legal cover under a daft interpretation of Islamic laws. it could then be asked, why do these maids go there, when their laws are so bad? It is all very well that you can choose not to live there, Faisal bhai but not everyone has the luxury of choice.
