Muslim male panic -- IV: Control over women as raison d'être of Islam.

These are some pretty pointed observations about Islam:

If Muslim men were to lose the actual control their society and culture exercises over women, it would undermine much of the reason to be a Muslim.

* * * *

We now live in a time when fundamentalist elements of the Islamic population are waging a worldwide terror war to preserve seventh century sexual traditions of a fringe culture and laws set down by a man whose own sex life must surely astonish and even appall any Muslim who examines it. When it comes to sex, the Islamic holy war is being fought in the name of a man who did not feel restrained by the rules of his own era.

Many Muslims look upon the West with an arrogant sense of moral superiority. It’s not that Western behavior is anything to brag about, but it surely isn’t a good reason for which to be killed either.

We would amend the last sentence to read:

It’s not that Western behavior is anything to brag about, but what is Muslim culture about except oppression of women, killing non-Muslims, and total artistic, scientific, and economic stagnation?

And the winner is . . . ?

Who wouldn't take sleazy but vibrant and free Western culture over that any day?

Speaking of B movies, Lord but we miss Golan and Globus. They were saints, we tell you. SAINTS!
