Islamic Lysistrata

04.14.2003

I thought Emily'd get a kick out of this article. She wrote a paper on the Lysistrata Project.

Some people are surrendering the booty they took in the Dura district of Baghdad, perhaps in response to a rumored edict by a Muslim cleric forbidding Iraqi wives from having sex with looter husbands.

"A good Muslim woman would not let this man touch her, as a signal to everybody that this is not a way to behave," said Sheik Ali Jabouri, who also preached Monday morning that people must give up their loot.

Ah, sex. The world's most powerful weapon.

PS. I especially like the use of the word "booty" in the article. As in: "Bring back the booty, or you don't get no booty."
