A rather startlingly substantive example of how Civilians of the Counter-Jihad (Mainstream) report more (alarmingly) useful information than does the Leadership.
Robert Spencer represents the éminence grise of the Counter-Jihad Mainstream. A better example of this unofficial position he enjoys than the name-dropping list of Counter-Jihad Mainstream celebrities (Geert Wilders, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Gavin McInnes, Mark Steyn, Steve Bannon, Mkichelle Malkin -- of course Baron Bodissey, Debbie Schlussel, Diana West, and Frank Gaffney won't be submitting any, any time soon... and why have we not seen Andrew Bostom's name?), writing encomiums for his new book, would be hard to find. On his flagship website, Jihad Watch, he reported a story recently:
Former Vogue model spent years in Muslim billionaire’s harem as his “pleasure wife”
Spencer then goes on very briefly to explain how in Shia Islam, functional prostitution is permitted under a category of holy “temporary marriage” and that “[s]ome Sunnis practice this also” (I've read it is not any less widespread among Sunni Muslims, so I'm not sure why Spencer is being so tepid here).
So that's it. The sum of the story -- as presented by the Counter-Jihad Mainstream Leadership -- is of a fat old Saudi Muslim billionaire seducing a naive, young, beautiful American girl to join his harem, and appended to that, how mainstream Islamic doctrine permits sex slaves slash prostitution.
Leave it to one of the many Civilians who left 79 comments to supply the deeper, more alarming purport of this story (the remaining commenters merely -- typically, for Jihad Watch comments -- indulged superficial emotion). They may be read in these four comments by a "Jack Diamond":

But how many readers are going to even read the comments closely, much less plow through to find a diamond in the rough...?
