With a totalitarian party to vote for.
A few hundred metres from the main mosque in the heart of Tunis’s old quarter lies Abdallah Guech Street, a red-light district which has thrived since the 19th century. Here, the Ottomans legalised and regulated prostitution — as they had in much of the rest of the Muslim world.
[…]
Or at least they did until last month’s Jasmine Revolution. But last week, faster than you could scream ‘Allahu Akbar’, hundreds of Islamists raided Abdallah Guech Street armed with Molotov cocktails and knives, torching the brothels, yelling insults at the prostitutes and declaring that Tunisia was now an Islamist state.

Coming soon to Amsterdam.
torching the brothels, yelling insults at the prostitutes and declaring that Tunisia was now an Islamist state.
Because everyone knows that the vast majority of Muslims don’t have sex. Nope, it’s not allowed along with a lot of other human desires and human needs. Perhaps that’s why they are so violent and crazy. Especially the young men who cannot afford to buy a slave-wife never mind a prostitute.
And remember Ahmed, “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s slave-wife.”
That’s the fun part of islam. Pretty much everything is anti-islamic, so you can always count on at least a few people to join you in bullying or screaming at anyone you don’t like. And if they disagree, well, that’s when it gets to be a real satisfying belief system. Theologically speaking, of course.
reminds one of the harping and whining about lost ‘democrapcy’ when Hong Kong was handed over to the Beijing crew in 1997.
the right wing hero mags thatcher sent a message to them when she handed it all over on paper some 2 years prior. Deng Xiao Peng was heard to quip ‘who is this cow they sent me?’
thanks to the BRITISH and their bent for putting colonialism ahead of self determination Hong Kong MISSED a 99 year opportunity to acquire an entrenched ‘democrapcy’ tradition.
you right wingers seem to lack sufficient mirrors. are you a bunch of vampires or sumptin’?
Not to worry…There is sufficient cowardice, sloth and mendacity in Obama’s White House to keep these young women almost safe.
So that’s where Harry Reid got the idea.
How often have you vacationed in Cuba, beagle?

Speaking of “Useful Idiots”, here is more MM* from MSM re The Great Sloth.

“Useful Idiots, Then and Now
As Greg Sheridan writes in The Australian, “It was an iron rule of the Cold War that the more grotesque and horrible the communist regime, the more dedicated and active would be its fan club, its friendship societies and fellow travellers in the West”:
This has also been true of Arab and Third World dictatorships. The psychotic murderer Che Guevara is an icon of style chic, even today. Cuba’s revolting dictator, Fidel Castro, with his Havana Stalinism, was often touted as a great and wise statesman. Even a year or two ago the intellectual and moral giant Michael Moore paid tribute to Castro’s health service without mentioning his gulag of dissidents.”

beagle HK operates pretty much the same as it always has. The ‘economic zones’ is where the real China starts…and ends. After that it is pretty much misery. Not that working and living behind barb wire to ‘protect’ you isn’t a plus.
The interior also is pretty much the way it was..except there are no women. Hmmm. Nowhere to go but the Army.
The true face of the people behind the revolts in the ME is starting to show itself.
So why are Libyans so upset with Qaddafi ?? After all, he had an impeccable book shelf, didn’t he?

Hey, beagle, at least you’re true to your name – loudmouth little anklebiter that spends an inordinate amount of time bouncing on its front legs howling at nothing at all.
Your ideologues have come up with some suave anger management and 12-step programs. You should enroll in a few. You know, fatten up your resume and stuff.
Islamic fanaticism is the future for those nations demanding Democracy, there will be no democracy in Egypt, Libya or the other nations that shed a dictator and replace them with Islamofacists’ nutcases like the Muslim Brotherhood of insanity.
Today brothels, tomorrow Valentine’s day.
I guess it’s logical that the Islamic slant against music eventually lead to a ban on playing the skin flute.
Exactly. We must never forget that Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party were democratically elected.
Hamas was also democratically elected and the Hamas tyrants assassinated many in the opposition. Try organizing a peaceful protest in Gaza today against Hamas and you will be torn limb from limb. A Gay Pride parade? You must be kidding.
Democracy isn’t simply about having the democratic vote — there must be a constitutional foundation based on fundamental liberties that no leader, democratically elected or otherwise, has the power to abolish.

Say Amen, Tommy*.

“So the root of all evil in the West seems to be Leftism, and the root of all evil in the ME seems to be Islam. And the confluence of these two evils, again, perfectly epitomized in Baraq Hussein Obama, is a sinister and monstrous storm which is now only beginning to break on the rest. The confluence between Islam and communism will engulf our planet in the coming years.”

I still got a grudge against fidel for pointing nukes at me when I was 12 years old.
and who are you maz? aka virtuvius? phantom? shaidle?
beagle HK operates pretty much the same as it always has. The ‘economic zones’ is where the real China starts…and ends. After that ”
and the reason HK operates as before is because with both the colonial AND the Beijing management, it was business interests first and foremost. where did genuine democracy have a chance under the self-interested brits? same as with the present overseers.
they even stipulated that Hong Kong citizens holding a british passport were not going to be allowed to swarm the ‘homeland’. (I guess mags was thinking ahead so as to leave room for the influx of muslimes.)

“Leading Sexual Indicator: Gadaffy’s Voluptuous Ukrainian “Nurse” Getting Out of Town
Losing major cities? Bad.
Losing oil-rich coasts? Worse.
Losing your paid big-breasted “nurse”? It’s over.
And I’m not just being silly — Gadaffy presumably has much more control over this prostitute than the average man in the street of Tripoli. She’s close to him, she’s important to him, and as he says, “I either rule you or I kill you.”
So now she’s splitting. Possibly with his approval, but if that’s the case, he knows he’s done. And if he’s not insisting she go down, Eva Braun style, with him, maybe he’s thinking about sparing Tripoli his last bloodbath, too.

Did any of you read the article at the link. Here’s a bit that Kate chose not to quote:
“Ghannouchi has been careful to distance himself from the subsequent violence. But in retrospect, the women clearly had genuine cause for concern, both at his return and the simultaneous mass release of Islamists from Tunisia’s prisons — and all in the name of the country’s new pluralism.”
One of the favourite memes spouted by the Middle East’s secular dictators has been that they are the only thing that stands between the people and the viciousness of the Islamists. And they make arrangements to ensure that that scenario is realized.
Did you know that the Mad Mullahs in Iran maintain brothels?

Louise, I believe they have marriages of convenience that last a very short time.
Which is a euphemism for brothels.
Surprises of which I’ve warned optimistic commenters are beginning to materialize. Democracy and islam go together like salmon and jam.

I dunno how much importance to place on a mob of “the faithful” incited by an immam to go torch the cat-houses on the next block. It’s called opportunism……
One of the features of these revolutions/chaos is the settling of old grudges/feuds under the cover of chaos. As well as looting…..
It is estimated about half of the extra-judicial killings of alleged collaborators in France and Holland after initial liberation were just opportunist murder to settle old grudges/feuds.
alot of this violence is not revolution but Hatfields VS McCoys…..
Awful, but one incident a trend does not make.
They sound like average SoCons to me.
