It may be possible that they were used for prostitution. Possible. But, closing them down is not the only way to insure that prostitution is eliminated. Trust any religious sect to cut off the branch they're sitting on.

I guess y'all who are so outraged about this don't know the story of what the good Christian citizens did to gambling and prostitution in Phoenix City, AL back in the 50's, do you?

Google it for "the rest of the story."

Again it's their country...they can do what they want, is it hurting anyone??? Do they plan to invade someone???

Replace the word "Muslims", with the word "Christian", I hope your reactions will be the same. They wouldn't be though.

I was there briefly on my way to Sri Lanka. What a shame. It was a really beautiful place.
