This is a nice article. Mr Pipes has hit the nail on the head.

I knew of a moslem who for all appearances was very orthodox;resplendent with a beard sans moustache and the trademark skull cap and pantaloons just short of his ankles. He would fast strictly during Ramadan and few years back he went for Haj. His beard has grown in length and the black mark on his forehead is more pronounced ever. Every time he talks he says Inshalla (God willing).

He appeared so pious that no one ever suspected anything until the cops raided his house without warning. He was greasing the cops' palms to run his business and the raid due to some argument over the bribe amount. The lower portion of his house was and still is still a fully functional brothel while his own family lives on the upper half. A couple of his brothers also coiffured in the Moslem way are full-time pimps. None of the women in his own household are into flesh trade and they wear burkhas all the time. Even little girls in his household wear head-scarves. Those whores who are taken out late night to work wear the burkha to avoid detection.

Surprisingly he was the same guy who started a minor riot in his locality in protest against the execution of Saddam Hussein. And Saddam was neither his client nor well known for being a Moslem ! I won't be surprised if this pimp blows his way into jannat (Islamic paradise). After all someone has to arrange for 72 virgins each time a terrorist pops in.
