Alien Vs. Domestic Whoring

You know - when I see this stuff in the news, I just can't let it go. Here's what I saw online in the Kuwait Times today. I get the point (from talking to people - not by reading the below), but it is just the way that it is written:

Kuwait Times
'Kuwait will not admit whores'
Published Date: June 22, 2008
KUWAIT: Sheikh Jaber Al-Khaled, the Minister of Interior, said that the decision to grant visit visas to residents in GCC countries would not make Kuwait easily accessible to prostitutes. Kuwait will remain a clean country, reported Al-Rai. He also emphasized that visas would be limited to people "holding high profile jobs and visiting Kuwait for business," he said. Women will not be allowed to enter Kuwait unless accompanied by her husband or she is arriving for official business with a major company," he reassured. Meanwhile, Chairman of the parliamentary committee for 'alien practices,' MP Jamaan Al-Harbash warned of the possible consequences of randomly allowing GCC residents to enter Kuwait. Further, Al-Harbash said that he had already field a parliamentary enquiry on the matter two weeks ago.

DG Questions (inquiring minds need to know):

The title: "Kuwait will not admit whores". Does that mean that they won't admit that they have whores? (Again, it isn't me - it is the way it is written - verbatum - in the paper.)

“Women will not be allowed to enter Kuwait unless accompanied by her husband or she is arriving for official business with a major company” Does this reference mean that all other women are whores? Are all other single women whores? Who made this assumption?

What about male whores? Are those guys (Deuce Bigalo types) just allowed to "dominate"/"penetrate" the Kuwait whore market?

What makes whoring an 'alien practice’ to Kuwait? What about domestic whoring?

Notes:

"Kuwait will remain a clean country..." Ummmmmm..... "remain"? If they "...won't admit whores" then will they admit that they are unclean?

I am an American living and working in Kuwait. I also get a kick out of the wording of some news stories written in the English language Kuwait Times and Arab Times online newspapers. This one on 'whores' left me LOLROF. However, in truth, these stories are very revealing into the Kuwait mindset and culture and I enjoy reading such each morning before I head out to the desert.
P.S, I really enjoy your blog.
