Playboy and the Arab Spring

This article published in Playboy re-creates the Orientalist images of licentious Arabs that find their oases of pleasure despite the so-called Islamist encroachment of the Arab Spring. The author crisscrossed bars and clubs from Morocco to the Gaza Strip to mold this highly entertaining but overly exaggerative and at times even slanted narrative. Overall, worth reading solely for entertaining if you have a spare few minutes (it's a long article as well).
