AN Egyptian cleric's controversial fatwa claiming that nudity during sexual intercourse invalidates a marriage has uncovered a rift among Islamic scholars...

[Banjoguy]

It would be hilarious if these people (yes.."THESE PEOPLE") were not so dangerous to the rest of western civilization.

I get the impression that among Islamics there is a neurotic fixation with all things sexual, not to mention issues with arrested development.

[SALChamps03]

Exactly!

Which is the point of my standard response. Their entire culture is to be dismissed. They are only the enemy to be destroyed.

,,, hasn't a fatwa has always been essential during sexual intercourse?

AMEN

When I lived in Cairo, there was an article in the Egyptian Gazette about a young man who wanted to divorce his wife. It seems that after two years of marriage, he figured out she was missing one of her breasts. She had deceived him, making their union just WRONG!

I once met a woman who, after she learned that I was Orthodox, ripped in to me over this alleged "custom." She ranted and raved, yelled at me for a full five minutes over how silly and repressive and stupid it was yadda yadda yadda, and what a retarded twit I was for going along with this idiocy and so forth and so on.

When she stopped to take a breath and I was finally able to tell her that it wasn't true, she didn't even apologize.

I wear a nascar racing helmet

Let me guess, it's the purple Viagra one.

[BJClinton]

I saw that on an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Hey, if it's on TV it must be true.

[globalheater]

Indeed I think sexual repressions like that are a perfect indicator for a sick society.

[Conservative Goddess]

Well...I'm sorry you were subjected to that, but I'm glad you finally were able to enlighten her. Consider the source.

I owe my prankster, that's clear.

When I'm told things that I initially don't understand, I don't dismiss them out of hand, but rather I try look a little deeper to understand the whys and the wherefores. I guess that's why I took the bait, hook, line and sinker.

Thank you again for clarifying the point.

"Condominiums.."

Maybe TROP confuses naked with nekkid..

So presumably in her culture, it is the "custom" to give unsolicited lectures on the proper ways to conduct intimate marital relations, to people one has just met? Hmmm, the hole-in-the-sheet thing couldn't hold a candle to that, even if it WAS true!

She said she was a feminist. In their "culture" it is OK to harangue total strangers on their sex lives but DON'T YOU DARE COME BETWEEN ME AND MY V****A!
