A Kuwaiti woman who once ran for parliament has called for sex slavery to be legalised - and suggested that non-Muslim prisoners from war-torn countries would make suitable concubines.
Salwa al Mutairi argued buying a sex-slave would protect decent, devout and 'virile' Kuwaiti men from adultery because buying an imported sex partner would be tantamount to marriage.
And she even had an idea of where to 'purchase' these sex-salves - browsing through female prisoners of war in other countries.
The political activist and TV host even suggested that it would be a better life for women in warring countries as the might die of starvation.
Mutairi claimed: 'There was no shame in it and it is not haram' (forbidden) under Islamic Sharia law.'

Hey, remember the first Gulf War, and how we were freeing the liberty-loving Kuwati's from the totalitarian Iraqis? Yeah, same country. Guess Salwa lost all her liberty-loving in the run up to the election.
Yeah, we once had a Alaskan woman who ran for vice president who thought that filming herself being inoculated against witchcraft by a witchdoctor would help her get elected. Then there was that one guy who said that his multiple marital affairs and divorces made him "more normal" than an opponent who had been married to the same woman for years
Politics attracts all kinds of weirdos
What a saint. Clearly the only way to help starving women is to turn them into living, feeling blow-up dolls for men with zero self-control but a remarkable sense of entitlement.
The article gets much worse than what's quoted here, incidentally. The good news is that most people, including other Kuwaitis and Muslims, think she's a total idiot.
Given the way some people in the various Gulf states treat their foreign workers, I would not be too surprised to learn that some Byelorussian or Bosnian women were being held as sex slaves.
There's been a lot of human trafficking for as long as I can recall; the only thing novel about this woman's statement is the POW angle.
What the hell? Selling POWs into sex slavery? Is this woman for real?
By the way, she may say it's not forbidden, but it's still WRONG! Seriously, do people really not realize when they're doing evil things?
I'm holding out hope that this is all one huge Modest Proposal. Is there anything else in there about, say, eating the flesh of infidels being OK by Sharia law? Specifically newborn infidels from Ireland?
Sure, Ms Mutairi, you go first. Then you can report to female prisoners how much better the life of a slave is, than the life of a prisoner. Oh wait, we have to put you in prison first, so you can compare them.
You don't want to set an example? Who could have guessed...
No shame in it, huh? So I assume you're gonna sign up for this, too? I mean surely you're willing one for the team, to keep those "virile Kuwaiti men" on the straight and narrow, yes?
No?
Wonder why?
You first then, Sal.
...what's that you say? You don't want to be like one of the Korean 'Comfort Women' in WWII, forced against their will to be sex slaves for Japanese troops? Well, that's your argument completely fucked then, whilst you don't want to be.
I bet your precious Allah thinks that hypocrisy is Haram , eh?

Can you say 'Ralph Miliband ', Daily Fail?
But then, your past proprietor Lord Rothermere supported Oswald Mosley, and he & therefore you were pro-Hitler, pre-WWII.
There's now a massive campaign to persuade that newspaper's advertisers to drop that paper like a skidmark on a hotel towel; negative P.R. by association, and all that jazz, as per Rush Limburger & his 'Slut' jibe. Hit it where it really hurts: financially. Rival newspapers' reporters are already circling like sharks. Can you say 'News of the World", o Daily Fail? I know you can. Look how that once rock-solid 168-year old newspaper was instantly annihilated, therefore any paper is expendable.
The Daily Fail: once a Nazi newspaper , [i]always[/i] a Nazi newspaper.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
