So what about Ali Baba?
But I can see the outrage. The prince marrying someone who is NOT his sister. The shame of it.
“And then they threw acid in her face and chopped her head off”
Always a happy ending in Islam
Many cultures have something very like the Cinderella story in their traditions and many more have adopted and adapted it since Disney did it.
Let me guess: Cinderella was sold to the prince at 6 years old, and was beaten for wearing a see-through slipper.
Unfortunately, Cinderella’s three evil sisters don’t like her going out to the ball, and have her stoned, then burned at the stake.
Meanwhile, of course, the handsome prince is a wealthy oil sheikh who ‘marries’ a half dozen Philippine girls, immediately confiscates their passports, then enslaves them and burns them with cigarette butts and/or flogs them with coat hangers every time they refuse to scrub the floors, do the laundry, do the shopping, cook for him, clear the table, wash the dishes, then hump his brains out at the end of the day, when they’re so exhausted they can barely move.
No matter; he’s used to humping camels, which don’t move at all.
In the end, of course, he attaches exploding suicide belts to all of them and ships them off to the United States to die ‘for Allah.’
