Prostitution rife in US-occupied Iraq

[Abz2000]

no - it was a soldier who had returned to the u.s and was getting drunk with "friends".
and it seems apparent you didn't even watch the second video where they clearly explain how they are threatened to shut up - but you decided to comment.
the torture memos made it clear:
many of the abu ghraib perpetrators said that their orders came form the top - it's an old tactic tyrants use to demoralise people when public morale is high and against them, not realising that using fear to control people just suppresses them and they'll overthrow you at the first chance - like when Moses (pbuh) came to the children of Israel.

[Futuwwa]

Which still has nothing to do with prostitution, or the allegation that there is an organized brothel service catering to US troops.

 

[Futuwwa]

Besides, whose fault is it that prostitution is soaring in Iraq? The great majority of customers would be Iraqi themselves. If the women survive by prostituting themselves to other Iraqis, it means that those other Iraqis are supporting them by buying their sexual services. Meaning that Iraq's economy is, despite the occupation, large enough to support those women. Are not the rich Iraqi men just as much to blame, they who exploit the desperation of these women, rather than help them out (which they are proven to be capable to afford) or at least offer them more moral employment.

 

[Abz2000]

Four things were learned in the interrogation of Saddam Hussien:

1. The reason for Iraq's invasion into Kuwait was that Kuwait was using horizontal oil drilling technology to access oil that existed on the Iraqi side of the border.
(this horizontal drilling was done by companies with ties to the bush family, and some companies where the bushes had until just before - held direct stakes).
When Iraq confronted Kuwait, Kuwait told Iraq that anything done to stop it would result in every Iraqi woman becoming a ten dollar prostitute under Kuwaiti resolve.

Saddam said they were purposefully pushing him to war through illegal practices, economic manipulation and the insults were the last straw.

​

 

[Abz2000]

who's fault was it?
the leadership is run by puppets and it wasn't widespread before.
that speaks volumes - as it does in the west.

 

[Ramadhan]

Besides, whose fault is it that prostitution is soaring in Iraq?

This is like saying "whose fault is it that opium production is soaring in Afghanistan".

Yep, Iraq and Afghanistan are just two normal countries similar like Finland.

Thanks for expounding such enlightening reason.

 

[Futuwwa]

You could actually refute what I said after that first sentence, rather than post an analogy for which it is hardly clear how it's supposed to make a point.

​

And how was this "learned" in the interrogation of Saddam? Saddam said so, and therefore it must be true?

I'd like something more solid than the unsupported claims of a doomed man. Like, actual physical evidence. Drilling should leave a hole, where is it? And if Saddam knew about it, then he should have been able to tell where the evidence for that was.

 

[Pygoscelis]

It would not surprise me in the slightest if true. But I doubt the source. Why would the US government release such information to the public? Especially when Bush is/was a President?

 

[Abz2000]

Futuwwa, next time anyone tells you there was no WMD in Iraq and that they muredered over a million people based on Total lies
Call them a conspiracy theorist,

Pygoscelis, do you find it difficult to see their criminality despite all the lies and murders?
Yes - murders, these are cold blooded calculating murderers.

 

[GuestFellow]

^ He did raise a good question.

This is something that I don't understand.

 

[Abz2000]

it's called demoralisation. an ancient tactic used by aggressors to demoralise a people.
it is sometimes used as damage limitation, as can be seen in abu ghraib, and fallujah.
yet Allah is the best of planners,
the rage continues to grow within.

Rape as a Weapon of War_Full Version

this prostitution stuff is another component, since it is a result of illegal aggression and economic oppression.

Truly Pharaoh elated himself in the land and broke up its people into sections,
depressing a small group among them: their sons he slew, but he kept alive their females: for he was indeed a maker of mischief.
Quran 28:4

morale is an important part of victory:
Be not weary and faint-hearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never put you in loss for your (good) deeds.
Quran 47:35

Allah made it but a message of hope, and an assurance to your hearts: (in any case) there is no help except from Allah. and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.
11. Remember He covered you with a sort of drowsiness, to give you calm as from Himself, and he caused rain to descend on you from heaven, to clean you therewith, to remove from you the stain of Satan, to strengthen your hearts, and to plant your feet firmly therewith.
12. Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message):
"I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."
13. This because they contended against Allah and His Messenger. If any contend against Allah and His Messenger, Allah is strict in punishment.
14. Thus (will it be said): "Taste ye then of the (punishment): for those who resist Allah, is the penalty of the Fire."
15. O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn your backs to them.
16. If any do turn his back to them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own)- he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed)!
Quran 8:10-16

 

[Pygoscelis]

Pygoscelis, do you find it difficult to see their criminality

I doubt their admitting to it. And I doubt their interrogators pushing for this information (which the US regime would already know if true).

 

[MSalman]

Ah you know what, I forgot to add that this is just another conspiracy by Islamists. These Islamists bring nothing but shame to Islam & Muslims. We should work with non-Muslims and unite as one to eliminate these extremists.

 

[Abz2000]

it's also ironic how they use the word extremist as inherently bad,
i guess they depend on ignorance, and even some muslims parrot it.
if you see Islam as good, then someone who's extremely good can't be a bad thing,
they use it to somehow imply that we're bad enough as it is (islamists) and the extremists are worse

From 'authentic' & 'trustworthy' sources of news: Prostitution in Iraq

Rahim tells the heartbreaking story of one woman they found who lives in a room with three of her children: "She has sex while her three children are in the room, but she makes them stand in separate corners"

Ya Allah!!
