Who is still swallowing this?
you might be shocked if you heard the stories that interns tell after spending a summer in the magic kingdom.

What's Islamic about this? This is more Puritan than anything else, and who in his right mind could argue with it? This is like Scientology in that they take what is obvious and rebrand it as their 'Technology.' It's like calling abortion 'choice,' so that anyone who is against abortion is therefore against 'choice.'
If this is what Islam was really about, I daresay that Islamic nations wouldn't be the oppressive, caste-based fiefdoms that they are today; they'd resemble Western Civilization more.
