Brothels

A brothel, also known as a bordello or whorehouse, is an establishment specifically dedicated to prostitution, providing the prostitutes a place to meet and to have sex with the clients. In some places, brothels are legal, and in many countries, places such as massage parlor are allowed to function as brothels, with varying degrees of regulation and repression. Depending on zoning, brothels may be confined to special red-light districts or 'tolerance zones'.

Quotes

 * Prisons are built with stones of law; brothels with bricks of religion.
 * William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790–1793), Line 21

 * This is virgin territory out here for whorehouses.
 * Al Capone Referring to suburban Chicago, as quoted in The Bootleggers and Their Era (1961) by Kenneth Alsop

 * If they don't like the brothels, they needn't go to them.
 * Charles II of England, quoted in Milton James Lewis (1998) Thorns on the Rose, p .15

 * No-one was ever made wretched in a brothel.
 * Cyril Connolly, The Unquiet Grave, 1944

 * So long as we were in a room in a brothel, we belonged to our fantasies, but once having exposed them, we're now tied up with human beings, tied to you and forced to go on with this adventure according to the laws of visibility.
 * Jean Genet The Balcony (1956)

 * In Hollywood, a starlet is the name for any woman under thirty who is not actively employed in a brothel.
 * Ben Hecht, quoted in: John Robert Colombo (1979) Colombo's Hollywood: wit and wisdom of the moviemakers, p. 150

 * In regard to this principle, that all men are born free and equal, if there is an animal on earth to which it does not apply—that is not born free, it is man—he is born in a state of the most abject want, and in a state of perfect helplessness and ignorance, which is the foundation of the connubial tie…. Who should say that all the soil in the world is equally rich, the first rate land in Kentucky and the Highlands of Scotland because the superficial content of the acre is the same, would be just as right as he who should maintain the absolute equality of man in virtue of his birth. The ricketty and scrofulous little wretch who first sees the light in a work-house, or in a brothel, and who feels the effects of alcohol before the effects of vital air, is not equal in any respect to the ruddy offspring of the honest yeoman; nay, I will go further, and say that a prince, provided he is no better born than royal blood will make him, is not equal to the healthy son of a peasant.
 * John Randolph of Roanoke, remarks in the Senate, Register of Debates, vol. 2, March 2, 1826, col. 126.

 * Vente, gresle, gelle, j'ay mon pain cuit. Ie suis paillart, la paillarde me suit. Lequel vault mieulx? Chascun bien s'entresuit. L'ung vault l'autre; c'est a mau rat mau chat. Ordure amons, ordure nous assuit; Nous deffuyons onneur, il nous deffuit, En ce bordeau ou tenons nostre estat.
 * Through wind, hail or frost my living's made. I am a lecher, and she's a lecher with me. Which one of us is better? We're both alike: The one as worthy as the other.  Bad rat, bad cat. We both love filth, and filth pursues us; We flee from honor, honor flees from us, In this brothel where we ply our trade.
 * François Villon Le Grand Testament (The Great Testament) (1461) Line 1621; "Ballade de la Grosse Margot (Ballade for Fat Margot)".

Daniel Pipes

Daniel Pipes (born 9 September 1949) is an American academic, author, writer and political commentator who focuses on the Middle East and Islam.

Quotes

 * Western European societies are unprepared for the massive immigration of brown-skinned peoples cooking strange foods and maintaining different standards of hygiene … All immigrants bring exotic customs and attitudes, but Muslim customs are more troublesome than most.
 * National Review (November 19, 1990).

 * Israel needs to take more active steps... Bury suicide bombers in potter's fields rather than deliver their bodies to relatives (who turn their funerals into frenzied demonstrations)…Permit no transportation of people or goods beyond basic necessities. Shut off utilities to the PA... Raze the PA's illegal offices in Jerusalem, its security infrastructure and villages from which attacks are launched.
 * National Post (July 18, 2001).

 * The increased stature, and affluence, and enfranchisement of American Muslims...will present true dangers to American Jews.
 * Speech to the American Jewish Congress (October 21, 2001).

 * To me, every fundamentalist Muslim, no matter how peaceable in his own behavior, is part of a murderous movement and is thus, in some fashion, a foot soldier in the war that bin Laden has launched against civilization.
 * "Bin Laden Is a Fundamentalist," National Review Online (22 October 2001)

 * Even as the nation monitors the Muslim world within its borders more closely for signs of Islamism, it must continue, of course, to protect the civil rights of law-abiding American Muslims. Political leaders should regularly and publicly distinguish between Islam, the religion of Muslims, and Islamism, the totalitarian ideology. In addition, they should do everything in their power to make sure that individual Muslims, mosques, and other legal institutions continue to enjoy the full protection of the law. A time of crisis doesn’t change the presumption of innocence at the core of our legal system. Police should provide extra protection for Muslims to prevent acts of vandalism against their property or their persons.
 * Fighting Militant Islam, Without Bias, City Journal, Autumn 2002.

 * There is no escaping the unfortunate fact that Muslim government employees in law enforcement, the military, and the diplomatic corps need to be watched for connections to terrorism, as do Muslim chaplains in prisons and the armed forces. Muslim visitors and immigrants must undergo additional background checks. Mosques require a scrutiny beyond that applied to churches, synagogues, and temples. Muslim schools require increased oversight to ascertain what is being taught to children.
 * Jerusalem Post (January 22, 2003), page 9.

 * Israelis must be encouraged to defeat the Palestinians.
 * Daniel Pipes, Peacemaker? - Mother Jones (magazine).

 * Anti-Islamist Muslims - who wish to live modern lives, unencumbered by burqas, fatwas and violent visions of jihad - are on the defensive and atomized. However eloquent, their individual voices cannot compete with the roar of militant Islam's determination, money (much of it from overseas) and violence. As a result, militant Islam, with its West-phobia and goal of world hegemony, dominates Islam in the West and appears to many to be the only kind of Islam.
 * Voices of Islam, New York Post, September 23, 2003.

 * There is no problem with Islam itself or with the Muslims, but these are difficult times, and the difficulty stems from radical Islam.

Quotes about Daniel Pipes

 * Daniel Pipes... perhaps the foremost analyst of radical Islam and related phenomena, as well as one of the great minds of our age. (197)
 * Benkin, Richard L. (2014). A quiet case of ethnic cleansing: The murder of Bangladesh's Hindus.

 * On more than one occasion, Pipes has called for the extension of Israel’s already ruthless policy of collective punishment, arguing that leveling Palestinian villages is justifiable if attacks are launched from among their inhabitants. It seems to me from observing his style that he came to this conclusion with rather more relish than regret... The objection to Pipes is not, in any case, strictly a political one. It is an objection to a person who confuses scholarship with propaganda and who pursues petty vendettas with scant regard for objectivity.
 * Christopher Hitchens (August 11, 2003). "Pipes the propagandist"..
