**QUETTA, Pakistan – The 11-year-old girl blushed as she walked into the car dealer’s showroom on Quetta’s Adalat Road in southwest Pakistan. Her 17-year-old cousin, eyes fixed to the ground, followed her. When the younger girl asked the owner for five rupees (6 cents), he pointed to the back room and told both girls to follow him. **
**A stocky man in his mid-forties with sallow skin and puffy eyes, he told the girls to lift their shirts – he wanted to see. “Very nice,” the owner said. “They are getting bigger,” he told the 17-year-old as he touched her. **
**The 11-year-old was excited as she told us the story; we had followed them inside the showroom pretending to be customers interested in renting one of the Land Cruisers parked inside. The owner had given them 10 rupees (12 cents), the girls told us, more money than they had asked for. Then, giggling, they ran away. **
**It’s dangerous to be seen following these girls – some of their clients are wealthy feudal land barons and powerful politicians, others are ordinary shopkeepers who will give money to the poor, but want to get something in return. **
The girls are part of an alarming problem that gets little attention in Pakistan.
**“Prostitution is rampant in all the big cities throughout the country,” said Senior Superintendent of Police, Raja Shahid, who heads the police investigation unit in Rawalpindi, a city close to the capital Islamabad. **
**“There are loopholes in the laws that need to be changed. For example, in order to nab the culprits, we need to conduct a raid – but we cannot conduct a raid without permission from a magistrate. By the time we get the permission we have missed our chance,” he said.Calls for Islamic law
**Others in the country have targeted the police’s inability to protect children as a reason to rally the people against the government.

“This is exactly why all the religious parties are campaigning for Shariah law,” said Maulvi Noor Mohammed, a hard-line Islamic cleric, known for his ties to the Taliban.
**Mohammed preaches “jihad” against the West to young boys in his sprawling madrassa (religious school) on the outskirts of Quetta. In an hour-long interview with NBC News, Mohammed argued that prostitution in Quetta is the perfect example of the corrupt morals of the secular, pro-Western Pakistan government and why it showed the need for a worldwide Islamic revolution. **
“What these men are doing is against Islam and they must be punished accordingly,” he said. “Islam guarantees protection for these young girls.”
**The last study on child prostitution in Pakistan was conducted by the government’s Federal Bureau of Statistics more than 10 years ago. At that time, the study concluded that an estimated 20,000 to 40,000 children were involved in prostitution. **
**Today, there is no reliable data or updated figures, perhaps because it is a national shame.

Where is the conscience of these people?

Do they think they'll never be held accountable?

this is shameful! very very shameful. such persons and feudal lords and criminals must be whipped out from the country who take full advantage of the poverty of poor people.

Moreover! its our and our government's ignorance also that still we are doing injustices with our other poor provinces which is shameful bcoz the enemy is taking a full advantage of that situation and is creating hatred and conflicts among us which must be whipped out from Pakistan. many traiitors are doing their full evil jobs.

now that is bcoz of lack of Islamic law implementation and bcoz of our ignorance that we dont give poor women their full Islamic rights, otherwise no one could dare to do such a shameful act.

Not to condone what is going on in Quetta or any other city of Pakistan but this is another attempt to discredit Islam, Muslims, Pakistan . The way Islam , Muslims , Pakistan are mentioned in that news article is piece of Journalistic dishonesty. By the way it is not a recent phenomenon it has been there even before Pakistan came into being , it happens in all third world countries. If you read stories by Krishan Chander you will see this went on in Gora Raj of India also.
Yes yes yes it is horrible what is happening and something shoudl be done to stop it, but does it take Western journalist to expose something like that to come to light to get corrected. Our own journalists have never exposed those things ? Many a times but they did not make any references to Jihad , Islam and Muslims the way this biased journalist is doing so.
If you go to MSBC and read the comments of many on the news article you will see many , many comments are mentioning that that Islam allows child marriges, Islam allows prostitution in the form of temporarity Nikah , Islam is horrible etc . This is proof enough that the purpose of the journalist article is very well served. People posting those comment forget about child pornography and child prostitution in their own backyard.
Did the journalist ask the ids from those beggar girls to ascertain their age. Putting their age around 17 and 11 is an attempt to make sure the Muslims do not come back and tell this journalist to look in his own backyard where the girls in the strip clubs dance there because they want to pay for college tuition.
If you point that out he can come back and say ya but they are adult girls and law allows them to do so.
Some how he had to bring in Jihad word into the article too. He is insinuating that these hard liners who talk of Jihad against west cannot fix their own social problem how can they talk about Jihad against West.

At least he did not have any proof that those girls were prostitutes but look at this news article about pre-teen prostitution in America.

This kind of stuff happens everywhere.

What I find interesting is that Mulana Sahib thinks that prostitution is a disease we've got from the secular west:

And he wants an Islamic revolution? HAH! As if religious morals protected us from prostitution and homosexuality when staunchly religious Islamic societies existed.

Re: THE ‘WORKING GIRLS OF QUETTA’ – CHILDREN

^ exactly! Some "religious leaders" are so retarted.

O yes Mirchi bhai! i agree with u. all this news is spread in order to discredit Islam. and if we muslims also start to pick negative things out of their western culture and the way of life, then it might take millions of pages of a book to mention thoroughly and in detail each and every crime and brutality, vulgarity and injustices in western societiz as well.

this is just a total and proper game plan of these enemiz of Islam who at one end, these bustards make different pics of our Holy Prophet(SAW) in newspapers for which they must pay the price and on the other hand they are launching full scale brutal crusade war against muslims and are continuing their full propaganda against Islam which must be proper dealt out by force in case of crusade wars and by Jihad Bil Qalam and through media in case of journalism and media propaganda.
