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.....

We could sure use a Pinochet about now.
I would think the lack of an economy and real jobs to keep the remarkably large population of young males busy would be more of a problem. Idle hands, it seems, are Allah’s workshop . . .
We have a Pinocchio . . .
“The Middle East needs strip clubs!”
Didn’t the 9/11 hijackers hang out at strip clubs? That did not calm their raging hormones! Maybe some really good whorehouses? A “Camel Ranch” in every jihadi camp? Maybe the UN could fund it-they have experience in that spurt of thing, you know.
Has Gillibrand been hanging out with Patty Murray? The dingbat who said that Osama bin Laden was building schools and daycare centers ?
One of the problems with the Chinese one child law is that too many people then select to have a son, and only a son. Now you have about 5% more men than women.
The problem hits when these guys hit 18-30. The richer guys can afford a wife for themselves or their son. But you end up with the “poor men who can’t afford wives / bare branches”. Prostitution and wife smuggling have exploded in China, to bring in Thai, North Koreans and Nepalese to meet the demand. India is seeing more brothers share a wife because they can’t get a second. And everywhere from India to China where they’ve aborted too many girls, prostitution is big business for guys who will never have wives to come home to.
The Middle East has the same problem due to polygamy. The rich guys take on second and third wives, purchased from poor families. Now you have 5% to 10% of the poor men on the bottom with no prospects, and no prostitution or wife sharing as an outlet.
The largest criminal cohort in any population is young unmarried men. China has a bunch it is trying to manage. The Middle East has just as many, and its solution - religious controls - is exploding.
That’s probably the biggest attraction for ISIS. Tell a guy with no prospects that he’ll go to heaven with 72 virgins if he dies, free choice of female captives if he is victorious and rape rights to the infidels as long as he continues Jihad.
What is that symbol?
“Of course no such thing is authorized by their religion”...and Western denial continues apace.
There are no reasons for insanity. The middle east is genetically screwed up due to massive inbred populations. This is also primarily why they raid infidel women and try to breed with them. Just trying to diversify their gene pool.
The symbol is an upside down wine glass, signifying that the status quo is off the table, and the party is over.
Thank you.
I read an analysis that another reason that cousin marriage is so high is because cousins are the only women a man can interact and escort with that he can also marry.
Hence, the only woman he could walk to the market or talk to in private that isn’t a sister, aunt or niece is a cousin. So he ends up being far more likely to marry her unless he’s rich enough to pick up a foreign bride.
you are the one saying there’d be no problems.
simple thing is not to let known infected people back into the country, period.
i don’t trust the experts to follow proper protocols because it’s been proven time and again they don’t.
sorry, replied to wrong thread.
I do agree: keep the infected with Ebola on the African continent instead of sending them to hospitals in Europe, America, Australia. Keep the disease on that continent instead of risking spreading it.
We’ve sent billions of aid there, we should get to use the hospitals we built there to treat people trying to treat the infected on that continent.
Wrong! Polygamy in Islam means that the sex ratio of single men and women is skewed. The violence is intrinsic to Islam.
“Why Is The Middle East Failing? Because There Are Too Many Young Men, And No Women”
That’s because they are contra-nature. And by this, will eventually self-extinguish....just like others who believe that nature doesn’t have a ‘critical role’ in their existence. It’s just sad what Satan does..to the minds, and hearts of MANY.
