There is a dichotomy, between professing to be a Muslim, and being True Muslim in Fact, Word, and Deed. A Muslim who follows the Deen of Peace taught by a humble Prince of Piety from the Deserts of Arabia, the One and Only Beloved Prophet of Islam, Muhammad(Peace be Upon him). He promoted Peace among all his contemporaries, the Christians, the Jews, the Romans, and the rest. Muslims today follow Mammon. The are obssesed with possessions, especially a narcotic addiction to women. The sexual addictions of Muslims from the Sultan of Brunei to the Sheikhs of Saudi Kingdom to lowly laborers roaming the Thailand’s whore houses.
When there is a gap between belief and practice, new and violently fanatically reform movements are born, who distort the True Message of Islam, the Deen of Al-Salam to their own power grabbing objectives. Bin Ladin and Mulla Omer are not an anomaly, but a part of reaction, to the distortion of Islam by practicing Muslims. Instead of living in Peace with Ahl-Kitab and other minorities, these reactionaries want to shoove down the throat of others, their own version of distorted doctrine, which is light years away from trur teachings of Islam, as taught by Allah, to the simple Man of Peace, Nabi-i-Karim (SAW).

White prostitution is considered to be serious offense according to laws in Libya, a country which was ruled by Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi, largely known as Muammar Gaddafi, for 42 plus years, Gaddafi and his sons were maintaining private brothels under the cover of ranch, which were fabulous decorated with gold-platted fittings and interiors. Gaddafi was also maintaining several high-profile pimps, who were actively busy in recruiting girls for the Libyan dictator.
The female bodyguard contingent of Gaddafi became topic of the media. A group of few dozens of carefully recruited female commandoes were always guarding the Libyan dictator. All of his girls were said to swear an oath that they would give their lives for him and it was claimed they never left his side, night or day, and he insisted they remain virgins. There was no shortage of volunteers for what was seen as a prestigious job. Total number of these “Sweet 72” or “Killer Beauties” were though never disclosed, it was leaked one of Gaddafi’s ex-girlfriends that, during every 8-hours, there was a contingent of 72 virgins, guarding the Libyan autocrat.
A special training college was putting the recruits through a tough physical program and girls who did not drop out emerged as trained killers, experts in firearms and martial arts. Gaddafi made the final selection and, despite his insistence that his guards were chaste, rumors abounded that he was demanding their sexual favors. Gaddafi regularly used to spend evening with his “Sweet 72” or “Killer Beauties” consuming expensive alcoholic beverage and watching Hollywood actions movies.
In 1998 one of them was killed and seven others wounded when Islamic fundamentalists in Libya ambushed the Colonel’s motorcade. The dead girl, Aisha, rumoured to be his favourite, threw herself across Gaddafi’s body to stop the bullets. And for such act of “patriotism” Gaddafi gave US$ 2 million as compensation to the family of Aisha.
This is not the only case! All the members of the Gaddafi’s “Sweet 72” or “Killer Beauties” regiment were regularly compensated with cash or jewelry by the autocrat. Families of these beauties were helped by the Libyan authorities in starting businesses or even settling in the West. Actually the shrewd Gaddafi always wanted to make the members of this deadly contingent extremely loyal and happy on him.
Though official news media in Libya continued to claim that, Gaddafi was like “father” to these killer galls, in reality, he was like a “god-father” to them. One of the ex-bodyguards of Gaddafi even said that, the members of the “Sweet 72” or “Killer Beauties” regiment were considering Gaddafi as their husband and the only “love” on the earth. “Though his skin looked little bit aged, Gaddafi was really an ever-young man. He always made his babes totally satisfied and happy with his passionate love”, the ex-bodyguard said.
Libya has also been used as a safe haven for human traffickers, who had been using Malta transit route to traffic people to mainly Italy and other European destinations. Amongst these trafficked people, a large proportion is females, mostly from African continent. African pimps recruit young women born in poor families from Sub Saharan Africa, promising a job in Italy. Despite the promises, girls will never go to Italy and will end their journey prostituting themselves to regain their freedom. African illegal residents walk around Medina square, in the heart of Tripoli, Libya’s capital. People coming from Nigeria, Liberia, Ghana and Sierra Leone live here, waiting for the departure to Italy across the sea. At night time, they sleep in abandoned houses or inside cars. During the day, they approach other people, particularly the black ones. “May I do something for you? Are you interested in?” they ask in English or in Arabic.
The girls from Nigeria, Liberia, Ghana and Sierra Leone are brought into Libya on to their final destination to Italy by gang of human traffickers. These unfortunate females are forced into prostitution in Libya as well in Italy for paying the cost, the traffickers demand from them for transporting them up to Italy. Describing the sordid story, a Nigerian young girl, aged around 19 told reporters in Tripoli: “We have been carried here by women that promised to help us to cross the sea that leads to Italy. In the meantime, we have to prostitute ourselves to repay the money they spent to take us here from Nigeria. We will continue prostituting ourselves in Italy too, because we need to find the money we have to give them to be free from debts.”
These girls travelled by foot to reach Libya, crossing the borders many times. By selling their body, they gain freedom but they go on prostituting themselves with the hope of earning enough to cross the Mediterranean. And most of the girls get infected into sexually transmitted diseases or even HIV much before they finally reach Italy. A few thousand African girls enter Italy illegally every year, mostly via Libya, as this is considered to be one of the best and safest transit point for trafficking people to Italy.
Nigeria and Italy are heavily affected by the problem of human trafficking in minors and girls for sexual exploitation. Sexual exploitation includes exploitation of prostitution, and pornography. It is estimated that Nigerian and Albanian citizens make up a sizeable proportion of immigrant women brought to Italy for the purposes of prostitution. Trafficking of women to Italy dates back to the end of the 1980s when the fear of AIDS rendered drug-addicted Italian girls unattractive on the prostitution market and the first Nigerian girls began to appear on the streets, especially in central and northern Italy. Nigerians thus constituted Italy’s first cohort of “forced prostitutes”, they are now numerous throughout the whole country. Trafficking in Nigerian minors and women into Italy for prostitution started around the second half of the 1980s, following the economic difficulties caused by the structural adjustment program. They started leaving the country on promises of fantastic and well-paying jobs in Europe, in factories, offices and farms. They arrived in Italy only to find themselves sold into sexual slavery. They were forced to engage in prostitution.
Some have estimated that about 80 percent of girls and women trafficked into Italy from Nigeria are from Edo State. This is curious because traditionally this ethnic group does not encourage prostitution. Girls and women trafficked from Nigeria are often made to undergo some rites in order not to reveal the identity of their traffickers and madams to the Police and to pay their “debts” without creating problems.
