Sex, Jihad and Islam By Robert Spencer

They hate us because we’re pigs. No, not the apes and pigs into which Allah transforms the Sabbath-breaking Jews in the Qur’an (2:62-66; 5:59-60; 7:166), but pigs as in…dogs. Wolves. Immoral, lecherous, lustful, fornicating creeps. Western immorality is a frequent feature of the Islamic critique of the contemporary West, as well as a target for the morality police of Sharia states. In the summer of 2009 Iranian authorities even published a list of hairstyles that were acceptably moral and Islamic, as opposed to “decadent” Western imports, among which were the ponytail and the mullet.

That same Western decadence is also a frequent preoccupation of Islamic jihadists. In December 2010, a Muslim named Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly set off explosives on a street in Stockholm that was crowded with Christmas shoppers, killing himself and injuring two others. His wife, who was herself later arrested for helping plan the attack, explained that Abdulwahab “disliked the decadent side of society here.”

Even some non-Muslim writers echo this critique. Dinesh D’Souza argued in his 2007 farrago The Enemy At Home that Islamic jihadists were largely motivated by rage at the West’s “social and moral corruption,” and asserted that “the Muslims who hate us the most are the ones who have encountered Western decadence, either in the West or in their own countries.”

The Catholic writer Peter Kreeft even calls upon Christians to learn from Muslims “the absoluteness of the moral laws and of the demand to be just and charitable.”

Yet writers like Kreeft and D’Souza never seem to examine the actual content of Islamic morality to see what exactly in Islam constitutes being “just and charitable.” And while Islamic supremacists rail against Western decadence, few realize that what they offer as an alternative is hardly the vision of moral uprightness that many assume. A few years ago President George W. Bush declared that we were fighting for “moms and dads in Iraq.” He might more accurately have said “moms and moms and moms and moms and dads in Iraq,” for his assumption that the Western model of the nuclear family would also be a universal in the Islamic world was not borne out either by Islamic law or the facts on the ground.

The moral universe of Islam is, indeed, radically different from the Judeo-Christian one. I have just completed a book, Not Peace But A Sword, which explores these differences in depth, but one telling incident recorded in a diary a century ago sums up a great deal of the key differences.

Shi’ite Muslims practice temporary marriage, which is simply a marriage contract with a deadline, or, in effect, a fig-leaf of morality placed over what is plainly and simply prostitution. “Temporary wives” are commonly found in seminary towns where young men are on their own for the first time and vulnerable to offers of companionship. The Shi’ite seminarian Aqa Najafi Quchani early in the twentieth century wrote happily in his diary after he had concluded a temporary marriage:

…Fortunately, the woman was at home and I married her for a while. When I had quietened my desire and enjoyed the pleasure of the flesh from my lawful income, I gave the woman the qeran [an old Iranian monetary unit]…It is reported that the Imams have said that whoever makes love legitimately has in effect killed an infidel. That means killing the lascivious spirit. It is obvious that when a talabeh [student] has no problem with the lower half of his body he is happier than a king.

 Aqa Najafi Quchani believes that he has engaged in “killing the lascivious spirit” not by resisting it so that it flees, but by giving in to it and engaging the services of a prostitute. Yet Shi’ite leaders to this day excoriate the West for its decadence, while offering in its place not genuine morality, but hypocrisy.

Even worse, as he searches for a comparison for how positively beneficial it is for him to have “made love legitimately” rather than indulged in fornication, Aqa Najafi Quchani refers to the highest authorities in Shi’ite Islam, the Imams, saying that “whoever makes love legitimately has in effect killed an infidel.”

What could be more delightful than killing an infidel? And what, to a pious Muslim like Aqa Najafi Quchani, could have a higher moral value?

But this is NOT decadent…
‘PAKISTAN: 95% of truckers have sex with boys
The name ‘Pakistan’ means ‘Land of the Pure’. In that Islamic republic where homosexuality is a crime, the sexual exploitation of boys is an endemic practice, notably in the transport industry.
Those Muslims who denounce the moral corruption of Western secular societies are hypocrites. Children are violated in western countries of course, but those responsible are pursued and punished. In ‘The Land of The Pure’ , when boys are not being transformed into human bombs, they are sodomised with impunity’ http://crombouke.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/pakistani-truckers-do-it-with-boys.html

ISLAM HAS NOTHING TO TEACH US!
American decadence is Islam’s excuse not its cause for jihad against us. With the ancient Persians and Hindus it was their paganism. With the Byzantines it was their Christianity. With the Afghans it was their Buddhism. The cardinal sin of infidels is being infidel however saintly, virtuous or wise. The Islamic world is one vast asylum of moral insanity with a morally depraved killer for its prophet and guide blindly driven by the will to power and the immoral principle that Might is Right. Islam has nothing to teach us, and nothing to advance the moral and spiritual progress of mankind.

Once the Moslems ; legalise prostitution, publish sex-oriented men’s magazines and pornography, produce sex movies and child pornography, broadcast sex channels , encourage Sex tourism and trafficking of people for the purpose of prostitution, help to the telephone sex businesses, produce Adult films and products for the paedophilia, permit the establishment of brothels in suburbia, striptease clubs, sex shops, allows the marriage between sheiks, imams and Maulanas, encourage pro-sex feminism organisations to flourish, improve the conditions of sex workers, do not prosecute imams and sheikhs for children sex abuse as the priests do, and of course encourage the consumption of alcoholic beverages; also permit teen pregnancy and teen mothers, allow the fashion industry that encourages scanty clothes and semi nudity clothes (short skirts and low tops), also encourage lesbianism and gay relations, ; when all this happen; only then we (the west) can consider the Moslems a civilised western human beings.

Likewise, gay Arabs aren’t homosexuals, they just “sleep” with men. Very different phenomenon from what exists in the West, because homosexuality is banned, absolutely by moral law. Among other things, I’d call this type of morality mental masturbation.

Um, the only two countries in the world that have legalized slavery are Mauritania and the Sudan, both muslime states.
Turkey is the sexual slavery capital of Europe/Eurabia — but only kufrs are being so enslaved.
Do you prefer muslime snuff films to adult pornography eh? What about the persecution of people of other faiths that is the hallmark of muslo-nazi states in the 21st century? Any problem with that? What about institutionalized islamonazi antisemitism?

Mohammed sanctioned cousin marriages thereby ensuring higher levels of birth defects among muslims than among non-muslims.
“A BBC report discussed Pakistanis in Britain, 55% of whom marry a first cousin.[189] Given the high rate of such marriages, many children come from repeat generations of first-cousin marriages. The report states that these children are 13 times more likely than the general population to produce children with genetic disorders, and one in ten children of first-cousin marriages in Birmingham either dies in infancy or develops a serious disability. The BBC also states that Pakistani-Britons, who account for some 3% of all births in the UK, produce “just under a third” of all British children with genetic illnesses.”
