#1 Can't the un step in help these hookers? Some kind of Hooker Aid 2005 could be launched to help raise ah money (that's it). Maybe start a Hooker refugee program that would send these women to other muslim nations so they could ply their trade. I am sure they could return to Iraq and find a job or two.

#2 I'm confused. I thought sex outside of marriage was forbidden in Islam? Aren't adulterers supposed to be locked away forever or stoned (especially if they're women)?

Hmmm...maybe Islam doesn't mean "submission"-maybe it means "hypocrisy"?

#3 I guess it has its advantages and its disadvantages. You don't usually think of Islam being associated with fishnet stockings, spike heels and EZ Popâ¢ brassieres, but it does make it easier to pimp four women named Trixie at once. Even an Iranian holy man can do it.

#4 May a Tricks for Food program?

Right up the U.N. alley!

#5 CS/CrazyFool - No go on the UN helping out the hookers. The girls in Damascus don't want anyting to do with the pimps at Turtle Bay. They have their reputations to protect.

A bit OT - I seem to remember a Bob and Tom radio bit where the "Whores of Babylon" were a sponsor for a softball team. Fine line between marketing and pandering. . .

#7 I guess when the first Riyadh bombing occurred, all the Syrian and Lebanese hookers in the compounds around Riyadh decided to bail... adding in the Iraqi hookers, well, it's suddenly a buyer's market - and no one wants to discount their wares. As for the Turtle Bay wimps, I'm sure the Syrian hookers would have a phrase that equates to "Cheap Charlie"...

#8 Jules, the Muslims have a long tradition of 1-hour marriages and weekend marriages that cover the prostitution/sex outside marriage conundrum. The real issue is that the men sometimes take advantage of this tradition with good girls, too, without telling them upfront. And once a girl is used goods, it is very unlikely that she'll get another chance as full scale wifehood.

#9 So how does that "tradition" synch with Quranic dictates against adultery (other than the predictable double standards for men and women)?

#10 Kojo, how would you like to head the "Beaners for Food" program? Would you like that?

#11 Jules, darling, it can't possibly be adultery if they were married! (Even if the marriage was dissolved 3 minutes later.)

#12 Hmm.. favorite refuge of Iraqi ba'athists post-invasion? Damascus. Favorite refuge of Iraqi whores post-invasion? Damascus.

Or perhaps it's a semantic confusion (the two terms being interchangeable)?

#13 Hard to separate the government whores from the sexual ones. All I can say is it must be a Johns market, if one has the inclination.

#14 Somehow the notion of a beheading takes on a whole new meaning.
