Carnal Reason

Captain’s Quarters:

Is it just me, or does it seem like radical Islamists deeply fear women and their sexuality? Their entire worldview appears focused on the oppression of females — burying them under yards of cloth, denying them any freedom of movement, and avoiding even their singing voices in public. After all of Ahmadinejad’s ludicrous diplomacy and aggressive posturing, having him lose power because of a sporting event’s opening ceremonies is nothing short of surrealistic.

Here’s what Bookworm had to say in a comment re the CQ posting cited above.

Regarding your question about Islam, women and sexuality: Almost a decade ago, long before 9/11, long before the visible Jihad in the West, a wise friend of mine told me that every bone the Islamists have to pick against America has its basis in the Islamist fear that the West will cause a slave revolt amongst the Islamist women. The men like their women wrapped up, hidden and available only to them, both for sex and labor. All the other stuff — alcohol and pigs — is just window dressing.

I’ve been beating that drum for a while now. The war with radical Islam is about whether women are to be citizens or chattel. Religion is only the means, slavery is the end. I hope more and more people will come to realize that.

I recently added the “slavery” category to cover my postings on this topic.
