Islamic supremacists always claim the moral high ground against the West. Yet a moral calculus that decries prostitution while justifying mass murder and even regarding it as service to the supreme being is, at best, peculiar. It ought to go without saying that one may oppose and deplore prostitution while leaving the molotov cocktails and threats to burn people alive out of it. But there are a great many things that ought to go without saying nowadays that instead need to be articulated with ever greater force and precision. "Tunisian prostitutes terrorized by Islamists," from Ennahar Online, February 20:
TUNIS - Tunisia Prostitutes living in fear of another attack since the Islamists tried to burn down the main prostitution district in Tunis. "I no longer go out, I fear they burn me alive", says one of them.Armed with Molotov cocktails, "small bottles filled with gasoline" and "Long Knives" chanting "Allah Akbar" Islamists have tried to set fire Friday to brothels in the district of Guechi Abdallah in Tunis near the Medina.
Dressed in jeans and leather jackets, according to pictures taken by mobile phones, they were dispersed in the meandering alleys of this neighborhood by police and military.
In the courtyard of a brothel where dry sadly old fluorescent color panties, a dozen prostitutes in fine lines drawn with eyebrow pencil, trying to show "strong" in front of the "Islamist terrorists."
Smoking cigarette after cigarette, Mariam, 35, "owner" of a brothel frequented, according to her, by "the Chinese, Germans, Italians, Algerians, Egyptians, French, Libyans and "others" is still in shock.
"I was terrified," she said, that they wanted to burn us alive, it was too much for me and my colleagues who are my family."
One of the prostitutes, Lamia, a 38 year old blonde, wearing shorts and black wool gaiters, wonders, she said, "why they did that."...
Why, they did it for Allah.
Yet they have temporary marriages... which is prostitution approved by the imam. This sounds like the mob threatening it's competition.
Put another way, using a software piracy analogy, prostitution in an Islamic country is piracy of Islamic marriages, if one gets what I mean ;-)
Essentially, the 'husbands' don't like prostitutes pimping themselves out - they insist on being the ones doing the pimping.
Got it!
I think even in Muslim countries, non-religious people are clueless regarding the motivations of Islamintern.
Of course, it is halal for Muslim men to sexually assault and beat Lora Logan in the middle of their "democracy" celebrations in the middle of Cairo.
Islamic Prostitution?
The Pleasure Marriage is a temporary marriage that allows men to enjoy women for a particular period of time. It was practised by Muhammad and his compagnions.
"..Yes, we had been benefiting ourselves by this temporary marriage during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) and during the time of Abi! Bakr and 'Umar."
Bukhari, 8, 3248
(slide #170-175)

Don't those fools know they can terrorize immoral women for free on any Western college campus? What a bunch of blithering idiots!
It follows since mohammed liked women to be under control and had a preference for children, that modern moslems emulating mohammed will find brothels an insult to their dominance, and furthermore, they don't pimp children.
These people are unbelievable - Muslims frequent prostitutes on a consistent basis - now they want to burn down brothels. The rage meter must have been at orange that day and they had no one else to pour it out on. The koranimals never cease to amaze!
M rob and exposesithlords:
Now you know why I, a Christian fundamentalist, refuse to see Muslims as allies against the revolution in sexual immorality that's been going on in the West. They are eager practitioners of every sexual sin listed in the book (I'm talking of the Torah), and don't even have the decency to feel a little shame about it.
Muslims would rather take you as a slave and then have sex with you...prostitutes cost money...
Maybe they are attacking the prostitutes because they think that they are far too expensive for the wages of workshy layabouts?
my oh my!!!
What do they teach in schools these days???
Get a mullah at the front door (any relative with minimal quranic studies will do). After the mullah approves the "dowry" for the marriage. The newly wed couple can proceed to one of the rooms for their honey moon.
On the way out the groom must say talaq three times and that will be the end of problems with Islam.

*Exactly*. Believing prostitutes should be helped and pimps prosecuted is entirely different from *this*.
Iran went on an orgy (pun intended) of hanging prostitutes following the "Islamic revolution", and the Taliban stoned suspected prostitutes to death in Afghanistan.
This is *nothing* "moral" about this.
This is from an article about an Iranian film, "Women's Prison" from 1984:
The in-depth research behind Women’s Prison generated one of its most chilling scenes—when the prisoners react to the death sentence passed on drug-addicted prostitute Mahin. Hekmat says soberly,
"soon after the Revolution, the red light district in Tehran was totally demolished. Most of the prostitutes were living at that place and many of them were imprisoned, and some executed. The Revolution should have saved these women, but the authorities executed them. Since the executions were held very early in the mornings, we found that prisoners kept vigil through the night, staying awake with the woman who was to be executed."
Of course, this woman's thinking that any "Islamic revolution" would care about *saving* these women reveals little understanding of true Islam.

Here are two women suspected of prostitution beheaded by the Taliban in Pakistan in 2007:
