Fatima’s Love For Sale

Interesting article, my opinion is that a culture that treats women as property of men encourages pimping and prostitution. Also the failure or Iran’s government to properly address economic issues also contributes.

Asia Times: Wars are won by destroying the enemy's will to fight. A nation is never really beaten until it sells its women…

…To understand Iranian politics, cherchez les femmes: the fate of Iranian women sheds light on the eccentricity of President Mahmud Ahmadinejad. By Spengler's Universal Law of Gender Parity, the men and women of every place and every time deserve each other. A corollary to this universal law states that the battered Iranian whore is the alter ego of the swaggering Iranian jihadi…

…Nothing is more threadbare than the claim of Islamists to defend Muslim womanhood. Islamist radicals (like the penny-a-marriage mullahs of Iran) are the world's most prolific pimps. The same networks that move female flesh across borders also provide illegal passage for jihadis, and the proceeds of human trafficking often support Islamist terrorists. From Jakarta to Kuala Lumpur to Sarajevo to Tirana, the criminals who trade in women overlap with jihadist networks. Prostitutes serve the terror network in a number of capacities, including suicide bombing. The going rate for a Muslim woman who can pass for a European to carry a suicide bomb currently is more than US$100,000. The Persian prostitute is the camp follower of the jihadi, joined to him in a pact of national suicide.

Or it could be the “Subhuman” status of women in Islamic nations that robs them of their pride and makes prostitution seem logical? If a woman is treated as a piece of meat then should she not use that to feed her child’s hunger? If she were "human" or an equal to men she might make another choice. She just lacks the opportunity. The following video has had only 9 views on youtube. It deserves many more.

I spent some time trying to find a bit of humor in this. There wasn't any.
