How many camels, and does the woman get a share of them?
The number of camels depends upon the individual parties' negotiating skills. And the value of the merchandise in question.
Yes, the woman gets a share of the camels. She gets to feed them, water them, and milk them. All while wearing a burqa.
With the blue eyes she could also be a kidnapped European tourist.
Such things actually happen in that part of the world, although they aren't reported on in the US press very often.
Sort of like the open village raiding and slave-trading of Christians by Moslems in southern Sudan. The US press doesn't talk about that either. The story would be too politically incorrect -- it might help to lend credence to Bush's interventionist policies in the Middle East. And we can't have that.
Hey, just be glad that we aren't talking about Indonesia.
They trade pigs for women there.
