A common theme of many conversations I have in Skypeland is how there are no social ills in Islamic countries, or Muslim Societies. For example, a typical attitude I have observed was posted in response to my blog article entitled "The other side of Islam". In this article, I discuss the observations of a young Muslim about the social ills he saw in his Islamic country. "Suzette" responded:
Suzette said... he's not muslim apparently! In Islam sex and alcohols are taboos..get yourself corrected and if possible , tell that guy to quit spreading the wrong information... regards, Proudly a Muslim...

Well that is an interesting comment. However, it does not appear to agree with reality. For example, there is topless sunbathing at many beaches in Tunisia:
Tunisia is a Muslim country, and dress code is important, particularly for females. Whilst a lot of skin (even topless) is tolerated on beaches and within hotel complexes, a modest amount of exposed skin may be frowned upon outside these areas (http://wikitravel.org/en/Tunisia).
Morocco is well known throughout the Muslim world as being a location with a lot of prostitution. For example, many links about child prostition in Morocco are described at:

A discussion of male prostition in Morocco is described in
