Events in Afghanistan and the Middle East have awakened the Western world to the existence of an existential threat. We are not confronting a specific grievance that could be remedied by negotiation. We are not faced simply with rogue regimes and insurgent groups that can be dealt with through sanctions and reciprocal menaces. The threat is rooted in biological and cultural conditions that we cannot change by politics, and which have in any case pushed politics aside.
The Middle East is, as we are discovering, not one thing: on the contrary, it is a patchwork of communities whose peaceful coexistence depended on conditions that no longer exist. And many of those communities are in the habit of producing the two greatest scourges of the human race: young men without women, and puritanical rage. These same scourges have visited Afghanistan and North Africa, and they lie dormant throughout the Islamic world.
It is true that in Turkey and large parts of the Levant women have obtained a kind of social equality with men: but it is a precarious equality. Thanks to Atatürk polygamy was abolished in Turkey and women were encouraged to enter public life. Their status as the unspeakable ‘secret’ was removed, their faces were revealed, their soothing presence was everywhere perceivable. Thanks also to Atatürk the other great solvent of social tension – alcohol – was permitted and, while drunkenness is rightly viewed with anger all across the Middle East, the example of Turkey has helped many of those ancient communities to let their hair down and relax together over a bottle.
Remove wine and women, however, and the tension quickly escalates.....

Ahh .... that would be INBRED young men with minimal skills.
Inbreeding...Islam....Case closed.
Because there are too many muslims.
“... Islam ...is so useful to young men in this condition. It rephrases their biological need in holy accents, telling them that in giving vent to their rage they are also doing God’s will, and that death in such a cause is their salvation. Of course, no such thing is authorised by their faith...”

The last sentence in this extract tells you that this article is simply meant as yet another statement that the jihad murders and atrocities are not part of Islam. And that is BULLCRAP since the murders and atrocities are the essence of Muslim doctrine.
Always the same political message by the media etc....
As long as Islam has the Koran and the Imams pushing the Islamic agenda...there is no changing the culture.
Islam teachings, and manner of delivery from childhood upward, twists peoples minds/thinking because it diametrically opposes the Gods natural design for man.
None of the ME countries underlying culture have the basic rule of fair play or law as our Constitution and laws supply us with, nor can they understand them. They’re entire system’s from home to governance is based on Authoritarianism.
Not enough female first cousins?
But, but all cultures are equal yada, yada ...
Perhaps if they stopped killing them-—
The reason that Muslim countries have descended into chaos and violence is that Islamic culture is not compatible with the values, practices, institutions, social and scientific advances that constitute modernity. For the past one hundred years Islamic culture has been forced to confront modernity. It simply cannot adapt. Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Iran are in turmoil and are unstable. Only the immense oil wealth of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states give merely the veneer of stability. The Islamic fundamentalists blame Western civilization in general and the specifically the United States and Israel for their troubles. However their problem lies within.
When Obama made his famous comment that bewildered people “cling to their guns and religion”, he was referring of course to white Christians who he despises. However his comments accurately portray the bizarre, barbaric jihadists who are fighting to restore the values, practices, and even dress of the 11th century. These reactionaries and their supporters are doomed to fail. However Western leaders must disavow their delusions about Islam and prepare for a long struggle. Eventually Islamic culture will transform because it must or it will perish. It will take a long and bloody time.
Islam destroys women. Their absence is a symptom, not a cause.
“These reactionaries and their supporters are doomed to fail. “
I hope so, but can we be sure?
Danish psychologist Nicolai Sennels, an expert in working with Muslim youth criminal offenders’....
....he claims that “Islam creates monsters.”.... A recent study out of Germany supports Sennels’ statement. ...It found that devout Muslims were more prone to violence than the non-Muslim participants in the study.
Sennels says Islam is different from other religions because the way it is taught brainwashes its youth with violent messages...... Parents inflict violence on their children repeatedly, Sennels claims,.... and at the same time, deliver religious ideology.
..... He says this behavior makes Muslim extremists far more violent than extremists of other religious faiths.
The brainwashing, as Sennels terms it, begins very early on in a child’s life, and religious messages are repeated vigorously along with a heavy dose of physical discipline....... It is this combination of pain and reinforcement, Sennels claims, that creates Islamic “monsters” who then feel justified in torturing and killing innocent people.
nothing is more infuriating to a bitter, unhappy repressed society than simple happiness in others....
I love FR for the participants.
So let's go throw some bucks to our host.
Just sayin'.
The Benghazi Boys sing: “4 girls for every sultan...”
Because there are too many young MUSLIM men and no Christians.
If only they allowed their homos to marry!

In other news, NY senator and all around dippy twit Kirsten Gillibrand says women in Pakistan and Afghanistan have it better than women here.
I say she goes and hooks up with those supposed women, alone and unaccompanied, to prove it.
Why is Middle Earth failing ...
Because dwarves delved too deeply in the mines of Moriah?
