Taliban Sex Slavery
Just in case your opinion of the Taliban couldn't get any lower, here's another sad story from Time. Apparently, not all of the holy warriors were willing to wait to get to heaven. They wanted their virgins in the here and now.
It's a good thing that the Taliban was so concerned with the dignity of women. Just think how they'd have treated them otherwise...
And unfortunately, it's not over. In western Afghanistan, young women are currently valued at a couple hundred pounds of wheat.

I just wrote my Congresscritters suggesting the CCR be abolished. Let's start a movement!

Just a hundred pounds of wheat for a young woman? My fiancé held out for more than a carat -- and I still have to ask for oral sex. No wonder Islam keeps growing.
