The Western World wonders, why Osama Bin Ladin and his ilk found fertile ground to recruit terrorists from the Muslim World?
The Muslim youth is disillusioned and has begun the question the vast gulf between “Kaul (belief),” and “Fail(act);” in many so called Muslim countries. Some of them have been turning to bizarre and extreme sects instead of following the tenets of Qu’ran and sunnah. Islamic Renaissance needs to occur at this juncture. It has been too long, Muslim societies have been wandering aimlessly, like ships without a rudder. The current spate of Islamic thought leaders are straddling too extreme. Islam is a Deen of Moderation. It is the Middle Path, between extremes. It is a magnet which attracts the human spirit,. It has simple set of core values, underlying which is the Glory of One Creator, a Respect for All Creatures Great and Small, and a responsibility towards all Creation, from trees to mountains to rivers, in short the whole environment. The gulf between the teachings of Islam and its followers has widened into a chasm. The Muslim world has to do a reality check, on what it believes, and how it puts those beliefs to practice. Hypocrisy or Munafiqat is a bigger sin, than not following Beliefs at all. Muslims need to do an introverted examination of their own lives. They need to look at the mirror and say if they are being truthful to the teachings of the Greatest Man, the Deserts of Arabia ever produced? Is Islam of today living up to its name? Or is it followed in name only? Can the Muftis, Shaikhs and Alims of today, hold a candle to Imam Ghazali? Are the covenants with Allah Almighty, as embodied in the Glorious Qu’raan, being observed or are of they of the munafiqeen (hypocrites); whom the Prophet (PBUH) vehemently despised and eventually defeated. The Arab society, where Islam had its genesis are wallowing in depravity, due to influx unimaginable wealth, generated by the Oil Industry. Those who rode camels, a few decades ago, now ride Ferraris and Lmborghinis, even though Almighty Allah has warned Muslims, not to be mesmerized by the GLITTER, of this World. But, treat your fellow man with kindness and generosity to inherit the Rewards of the Hereafter.
Here is a Muslim answer to the West, unknowingly or deliberately, the West is creating islands of enormous wealth among Arab nations, while the rest of the Muslim world from Morocco to Indonesia is drowning in a sea of poverty. Poverty and Wealth Disparity breeds Terrorism. A hungry populace responds violently against an obnoxiously rich minority amongst them. Islamic countries are ruled by hypocrites, despots, and obnoxiously corrupt individuals, such as Asif Zardari, the Sheikhs of UAE, the Princes of Saudi Arabia, Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, and Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei. If the US wants to win the hearts of minds of Muslims, it has to force these Kingdoms and Potentates like Brunei to use their wealth not only among the poor in Muslim lands, but, against the scourges of hunger, illiteracy, sex trafficking, narcotics consumption, and obnoxious display of il-lgotten wealth, around the globe. Otherwise, the next domino to fall in a Tahrir Square like event would be Saudi Arabia or UAE, but this may not happen as peacefully as Tahrir Square. It may end up like a French or Russian Revolution. It is a natural crucible for the genesis of terrorism. The nurturing of Kings, Emirs, and Sheikhs by the Western nations have provided the seeds for a backlash from the 1.2 billion Muslims living mostly in abject poverty, illiteracy, disease, hunger, and total economic disparity. The people of the Western nations must raise their voices against the pedophilia,sex trafficking and smuggling of women from Pakistan, India, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Phillipinnes, Thailand, Burma, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhistan, Hungary, Sweden, Austria, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mexico, Brazil, and a host of other nations. and the sex slavery practiced in the arc of Arab and Islamic nations from Dubai to Lebanon. It is a powder keg where movements like Tahrir Square can emerge by the hundred and drown these Dens of Iniquities like the Kingdoms of Saudi Arabia and the UAE Potentates.

Dubai: 18-year-old Ethiopian Maid says she was Raped, Forced into Prostitution
Four charged with forcing maids into prostitution
Marie Nammour / 2 October 2012
Three Bangladeshi men and an Indonesian woman faced the charge of human trafficking in the Court of First Instance on Sunday for allegedly forcing four runaway maids into prostitution.
The three men have been identified as D.H., F.A. and J.H. and the Indonesian woman as M.B.
According to prosecution records, D.H. (28) and M.B. (23) lured the maids by promising them better jobs with Dh1,500 salary and coaxed them to run away from their sponsors’ houses.
J.H. took two of them from Al Ain to D.H.’s place in Al Muraqqabat where the latter beat them with an iron rod, threatened them and forced them into prostitution. F.A. was in charge of receiving and keeping an eye on the men who came to have sex with the victims.
The four defendants are accused of running a brothel from a room in Hamdan area in Muraqqabat.
D.H. is accused of raping three of the victims after undressing and beating them up.
He raped one of them twice and breached her modesty by clicking her nude pictures against her will.
One of the victims, a 33-year-old Indonesian maid, told the prosecutor how she was deceived to runaway from her sponsor’s house in Al Ain and was brought to D.H.’s room in Muraqqabat where she saw many prostitutes, of Ethiopian, Bangladeshi and Indonesian nationalities.
She was locked up for three days and beaten with an iron rod to let D.H. have sex with her against her will. The maid managed to call her sponsor’s wife and cook, seeking their help to call the police and was released after the police raided the room.
Another Indonesia maid (26) recounted a similar story of how she was lured from her sponsor’s place and then forced into prostitution. She also said that D.H. raped her twice and filmed her after forcing her to undress.
Another maid, an 18-year-old Ethiopian, said that D.H. stripped her of her cash and mobile phone and raped her.
According to a police sergeant, in April an Emirati woman had informed them that her absconding maid was being forcefully held in a room by a Bangladeshi man who had forced her into flesh trade.
The police located the room, which was in a shared house in Al Muraqqabat and was divided into partitions made by pieces of fabrics.
D.H. admitted that he had made Dh35,000 by exploiting women in prostitution.

Gang tried to sell girls’ virginity to wealthy Arabs for £150,000
A sex trafficking gang offered to sell the virginity of underage girls to wealthy businessmen for up to £150,000 each.
The three women and a man were offering girls as young as 13 but were arrested in an undercover Scotland Yard operation after staff at a luxury hotel tipped off police.
One of the women had arrived at the Jumeirah Carlton Hotel in Knightsbridge, central London, in a silver BMW to offer the gang’s services in a handwritten letter to the owner in August last year.
Gang: Fatima Hagnegat and Mahrookh Jamali face jail after they attempted to sell the virginity of young girls to wealthy Arab businessmen for up to £150,000
It read: ‘I have 12 girls ready from the age 14-20 years, who are living all over the UK, I have spent money on the preparation of this event such as a rented house for the girls and also all expenses needed.’
Worried staff immediately alerted police who traced the car and telephone number given in the letter to an address in Wigan where Fatima Hagnegat, 24, lived with her husband, Rassoul Gholampour.
Inquires revealed that another similar letter had been delivered to the hotel on an earlier date.
Detectives then exchanged messages with the gang under the guise of potential clients. One undercover officer, known as ‘Cameron’, telephoned the mobile number provided in the letter to ask about hiring girls on behalf of a client.
Rasoul Gholampour was part of the gang
He spoke to Hagnegat’s aunt, Marohkh Jamali, 41, who told him that she could arrange a party for four to five people that night if required. She stated that she could provide girls from Iran, England and Eastern Europe aged 14 and 20.
The officer arranged to meet Jamali who told him some of her girls were virgins and could be ‘broken’ by his client. She emailed him photographs of a number of girls and said she would bring up to five girls to London, including two 13-year-olds, and would expect £50,000 to £150,000 for each.
The next day Jamali went to a different London hotel, in Bayswater, accompanied by Hagnegat and six girls, two of whom were aged 14 and 17.
The other four were 18 or older. Off icers swooped and arrested Jamali and Hagnegat.
The six victims, who had all been brought to London from the North-West of England and cannot be identified for legal reasons, were taken to a victims’ centre.
They later described how they had travelled from Wigan with the defendants on the understanding that they would be able to earn some money ‘dancing’ for a party of rich men.
It was only later, on their arrival in London, that they were told they may be asked to have sex with the men.
The gang members, all jobless and Iranian, pleaded guilty to trafficking and prostitution offences at Harrow Crown Court yesterday.
Hagnegat and Jamali, who is from North-West London, each admitted conspiracy to traffic persons within the UK for sexual exploitation and a second charge of control of prostitution for gain.
A 43-year-old woman, who owned the London flat where the victims were taken the night before they were introduced to ‘Cameron’, admitted the same two charges. She cannot be named for legal reasons.
Gholampour, 30, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to traffic persons within the UK for sexual exploitation.
A third charge of conspiracy to arrange the prostitution of children will lie on the file of all four defendants.
Prosecutor Bill McGivern said the young women were not forced into sexual services, but were ‘coerced’ into offering them after dancing for clients.
The court heard the 14-year-old girl present when police swooped was used as ‘bait’ and there was no evidence she was to be used as a prostitute.
The four gang members, who have been in custody since their arrest last year, will be sentenced today.
Last night Detective Chief Superintendent Richard Martin, head of the Metropolitan Police Service’s Human Exploitation and Organised Crime Command, said: ‘This is a sad and harrowing case.’

A recent report in The Sun entitled “ Parents sell virgins aged 12 for sex” highlights something that many may not be aware. Crime Reporter Anthony France pointed out in his article that usually foreign kids from Eastern Europe, the Far East and Africa are bought into the UK to work as sex slaves. Very seldom do you see young British girls in the sex trade.
But this is now changing. It seems that some British parents are forcing their schoolgirl daughters into prostitution and then sell them to millionaire paedophiles. A spokesman for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) said: “Unscrupulous traffickers are controlling and terrorising vulnerable children within the UK, forcing some into the sex industry and abusing and exploiting many others.”
What makes British parents willing to sell their virgin daughters for sex? The answer is obvious – MONEY! And it is really big money. A 12-year old British virgin girl can fetch up to £50,000 for having sex with the super rich Arabs.
Organized crime is of course behind this sex trade. With the amount of money involved, the gangs are prepared to peddle even younger, prepubescent girls.
Think about it. When 43-year old Indonesia Muslim cleric Syech Puji took 12-year old Lutfiana Ulfa as his second wife, and declared his intention to take another 2 young girls – 7 and 9 year old as third and fourth wives, there was an uproar throughout Indonesia and beyond. Now for the sake of big money, British parents are selling their 12-year old virgin daughters to rich arab men for sex. Who is worse? The British parents? Or Syech Puji
Dubai Prostitutes’ Earnings Soar
“Las Vegas is a sputtering 20-watt bulb compared with this fire in the desert,” wrote Vanity Fair’s Nick Tosches. Dubai is “Capitalism on Steroids” & that includes Xmas.
The sex trade is alive and Ladies of the Night are flourishing in the Emirate of Dubai. Much has been written on sex trafficking around the world and Prostitution in Dubai specifically; however, little has been written from the view and attitude of a large majority of the “Business Ladies” in Dubai. A view many will find disturbing.
Willing Prostitutes
As with so much in Dubai, the world’s oldest profession has taken a turn divergent from the rest of the planet. Renowned photo-journalist Mimi Chakarova has examined the world of sex slaves, forced prostitutes and captive women for the last 4 years. She was shocked to discover what so many already knew: mostprostitutes in Dubai voluntarily perform their trade.
“When I arrived to report…I was prepared to confront…human degradation…but I was surprised to find something else. I met women working as prostitutes who told me that they were doing so because they had chosen to…. She [a prostitute] said she could earn more in one night as a prostitute than working a whole month in sales….[and] the money she sends home to Siberia has allowed her family to build a house.”
Christmas Season
The holidays are especially ripe for the business ladies in a nation that is built upon the very dichotomy that is prostitution: necessary but unwanted; illegal but desired! The “Dubai Model” brings success to an “Arab city by shearing away the qualities that have long defined it as Arab.” Legally sanctioned, illegal prostitution; morally reprehensible yet socially acceptable; completely taboo but an openly practiced profession; prostitution is the essence of the “Dubai Model.”
The wealth of Dubai seems to explode during the holidays as it does in so many other wealthy cities this time of the year. Just as merchants at Filene’s Basement and Macy’s department stores rush to sell their wares to jovial and willing customers, so too do the Business Ladies of Dubai. With 80% of the residents coming from other nations, the Ladies have a glut of celebrating customers waiting to purchase their commodities. And as with any shrewd business person, the supply demand curve is strictly adhered to.
Holiday Inflation
A survey by a local expatriate underground newspaper has determined that prices have “risen by 20-50%” the last few weeks. Research conducted by the American Center for International Policy Studies (AMCIPS) found that Eastern European (Russian) and Ethiopian women are the most common “free agent” prostitutes. Ethiopians, who in the past received 300 AED, now garner 400 for an hour’s work; a Russian’s 500 AED per hour fees a month ago now garner 700+ dirham per hour.
However individuals feel about the holidays, whether Arabic Eid or Western Christmas; Dubai is an avenue for most to increase earnings. As the Minister of Finance said in a resent interview: “You gave us capitalism: we are new to it; but we will not do anything that will jeopardize that which we have attained!” Prostitution has been an integral part of that expansion and in the view of one local Emiratee: “when the prostitutes profit, Dubai profits:” but at whose expense?
