"The Muslim culture and specifically the Arab cultures are based on a matriarchal structure. The strongest male female bond is the mother son relationship. Everything is done to prevent the interference of any other females in that relationship."
So S. Hussein was actually being controlled by his mom? And those fun-loving sons of his were being directly influenced by their mom? For some reason, I thought all of the women were supposed to kept quiet and stay out of the way. The "boys'" mom should have told them it wasn't all that nice to rape underaged girls whenever they wanted.
It is not that mama controls the men, but that she controls the family ties. Those family ties lead to a tribalism with a long memory. In our society with the nuclear family being the heart of the family structure each generation recreates it self and then finds its place is society as a whole. Arab society does not regenerate itself in the same way and the family ties reaching back through the generations are much stronger. If the family and the ties to your clan are much stronger than your bond to the nation as a whole then you will have the strongest tribe ruling the land for the exclusive benefit of the tribe, not the Nation. Breaking up the matriarchal structure is the only way to break up that tribalism. The Italian Mafia was built around a similar matriarchal structure. After a couple of generations in America the family bonds started to break down and they began to rat each other out.
