Maitreyi G., Dhaka: "Indonesia is a Muslim country. But more than 95 percent of the Muslim girls have sex before marriage (except the really ugly ones). Before, parents had a say on who could marry their daughter. Now it’s up to the government (and Western-inspired NGOs). What kind of Islam do they have here, ha-ha?"

Indonesië is 'n Moslem land. Maar meer as 95 persent van die Moslem-meisies seks het voor die huwelik (behalwe die werklik lelik ones). Voor, ouers het 'n sê oor wat nie kon trou nie hul dogter. Nou is dit die taak van die regering (en die Wes-geïnspireerde NGO's). Watter van die Islam het hulle hier, ha-ha?
