Uncited "concubine" paragraph
I've removed the following paragraph. Someone who knows the topic, please re-write this in encyclopedic tone, with refs:
The Charleston, West Virginia Sunday Gazette-Mail of August 30, 1959 printed an article by American journalist Nino Lo Bello, who wrote that when Mohammed was exiled as Sultan in 1953, he took 50 veiled concubines with him, but eight of the young women escaped. Mohammed vowed that if he ever returned to Morocco they would be hunted down and executed. Apparently he kept his word; shortly after his triumphant return to Morocco in 1956, thirty special agents fanned out over North Africa and located two of them working in a bordello in Casablanca. A third was found living in Fez as a married woman. All three were returned to Rabat, and each received more than 200 lashes while the King watched "with considerable satisfaction" (Lo Bello), although his daughter Aisha begged him to spare their lives. As of August 1959 the other five were still being sought. Were they caught? Were they flogged to death? Several web searches have turned up no further reference to this incident.

Righteous Gentile
He was awarded as a Righteous Gentile. I think it is worth mentioning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.177.158.50 (talk) 22:13, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
