On Reuters Oddly Enough, I read and watched this:
Istanbul’s Club Fox on the Marmaris coast the belly dancer’s hips gyrate and tassels swirl to the music but the stomach is a little hairier than usual — it’s a man’s.
Male belly dancers are thrilling audiences in Turkey and other European capitals, drawing on a tradition dating back to Ottoman times when men in the Sultan’s palaces were entertained by young male dancers as the women lived separately in harems.
Here’s the youtube link to the male belly dancer … and …. umm, wait a second here! What was that again? The Ottomans brought male dancers to entertain them while their women lived separately in harems?
How sick is that?
No wonder they were referred to it as The sick man of Europe.
It all makes perfect sense now. 
Hi there. Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, the dude that called the ottoman empire the sick man regretted it in a couple of years when he was defeated in the crimea war by allied Ottoman, British and french forces, actually died during it as I read from wikipedia.
As you know, in those times Jordan used to be part of the ottoman empire, so probably your ancestors were ottoman citizens, or ottomans as they are known in Europe.
this is sick
Thanks for your valuable insights Kahraman. Yes, Jordan was part of the Ottoman empire but Jordanians were not Ottomans. Ottomans were Turks.
yeah isn’t it?
