Muslim Brotherhood Statement Denouncing UN Women Declaration for Violating Sharia Principles

However, a variety of studies suggest that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in prostitutes follows a different pattern than that for STDs: HIV infection in non-drug using prostitutes tends to be low or absent, implying that sexual activity alone does not place them at high risk, while prostitutes who use intravenous drugs are far more likely to be infected with HIV. Emerging data from heterosexual groups similarly suggest a low rate of heterosexual transmission, particularly from women to men. Prostitutes who do not use intravenous drugs probably face their highest risk from steady partners who may be infected with HIV and other STDs and with whom barrier protection is generally not used.

Therefore it's the drug use that's hte HIV issue more than the prostitution itself.

I've been looking for sources too, while you were. I found this:

WHO | Sexually Transmitted Diseases

It broadly talks about HIV infection in different geological locations.

Sub-saharan Africa: Highest infection rates are found among commercial sex workers, truck drivers and seasonal migrant workers.

Asia and the Pacific: Increasing sex trade, use of illicit drugs, and rates of sexually transmitted infections contribute to an increased vulnerability in the region. Injection drug use and heterosexual intercourse are the primary modes of transmission, ... (my emphasis)

Latin America and the Carribean: While in some countries HIV infections remain concentrated mainly in men who have sex with men and injecting drug users, others are experiencing increasing rates of heterosexual transmission.

Eastern Eurpoean: most of which occur among injecting drug users.

Stealing had caused less harm than prostitution to our society.

HA!

Comparing harm from the past 30 years to harm that's been going on since before recorded history!

HIV only harms those who are not careful with who they sleep with, or aren't careful what needles are put into their bodies, etc. In my own life, it might as well not even exist save for ONE girl who sat in front of me in high school band class who had it, but with whom I never even spoke and whose face I can't conjure up. My heart to her, but that's the extent of my interaction with the virus.

But I have been effected by theft many times over.

Therefore, stealing has a greater impact on society than prostitution.

Besides, if prostitution were legalized and regulated, STDs wouldn't be as much of a problem.

Even though i disagree with the murderer or the rapist,but then i should respect him as human being.:yes: make sense..
Depends what is in their minds.
For example thinking to kill or rape can be a thinking of one own mind,but should we let
him do it because that is his own thinking and mind.

Again, the difference is that murder and rape victimize the innocent, so stop making such thoughtless comparisons.

This is nothing but an attempt to westernize Egyp

If by "westernize" you mean civilize and modernize, yes. For the sake of your children, so that they may know equality, freedom, democracy, a higher quality of life and education, and a life free from fear, abuse and oppression, and to have the opportunity to develop and blossom into something far greater than an indoctrinated drone.

I love people like this who show such contempt for their own countries.

If you hate it so much what makes you stay?

I dont know smartguy. Could it be lack of finances? Maybe the period in life is not good? Or maybe because disagreeing with forcing your own culture onto another people is not something which necessitates moving?

Please. Don't mistake my apparent sarcasm as such. A lack of finances is a poor excuse. I have no time for people who reside in Western countries and do nothing but complain about the country, it's people and it's culture.

Do you 'know' or believe?
You're not suggesting that the ideals of human rights, liberty, equality, democracy, etc. are all a passing fad, are you?
I would actually suggest it is a possibility, certainly when you look at the geopolitical shift in the last twenty years away from western democratic powers and towards less democratic nations such as China and Russia (after the USSR collapsed that is).

¡Ay! So all the people who agree with me should just leave? You sound like a bigot conservative who says if you disagree than leave.

And you think lack of finances is a poor excuse? Then tell me how to get to another country with no finances to buy an air ticket, a house, food for me and wife and new born, money to rely on till I can find work? Please, do tell how a lack of finances is a "poor excuse", especially when struggling to simply get by as is.

I guess you're right. "Smartguy" wasn't exactly appropriate for you.

No. I just say to such people "remember where you came from and why you are where you are."

It's all well and good to whinge about America but what place would be better?

Many innocents including children have been died because of the Sexually transmitted diseases.

But I have been effected by theft many times over.

Thats your mistake,if you were aware enough then that shouldn't have happened to you.

Therefore, stealing has a greater impact on society than prostitution.

Never, i absolutely disagree with you,i care about my health much more than losing money.

Besides, if prostitution were legalized and regulated, STDs wouldn't be as much of a problem.

So you encourage women to sell their bodies for money and such business should be legalized and to be well managed in order for men to enjoy without the risk of STD. :facepalm:

You are entitled then to your own opinion.

"remember where you came from and why you are where you are."

My mothers womb? Why I am where I am? Because have ywt to ever been able to leave?

Okay, so you have no argument. I think its safe to equate you to the type of Americans who say, "you dont like ____ then leave" to anyone who doesnt agree. These people just lack the ability to be able to formulate an argument.

Care to attempt to argue why cultural imperealism is a good thing? Or you so unable to, that you need to ******** around?

its actually very ontopic and a good point he makes.

its the very freedoms that the muslim brotherhood are rejecting which have made it possible for this same organization to set up shop in the west and practice their religion.

Yet that same organization wants to restrict the freedom of an entire gender. Isn't that a little bit of hypocrisy showing itself?

Many innocents were affected by STD including children.
So you are wrong

maybe its the men who need to be educated about whom they have sexual relations with. Prostitution can only thrive where men are actively supporting it.

stop supporting it and it will stop.
