Why Is The Middle East Failing? Because There Are Too Many Young Men, And No Women
Forbes ^ | 26 September 2014 | Roger Scruton

Posted on 09/29/2014 8:41:54 AM PDT by Lorianne

The Middle East ... 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

Remove wine and women, however, and the tension quickly escalates. This is especially so in societies where the women, although hidden away, are encouraged to have children, and where the quantity rather than the quality of children is the most important sign of status. Just to consider one of the many flashpoints, the median age in Gaza is 18, compared with a world-wide figure of 28 and a European average of 40. We see the result on our televisions. When conflict erupts in an Islamic country and people come out into the streets we witness vast crowds of young men. In Turkey there are women too among them. But Turkey is the exception that proves the rule. The norm is young men without women, their anger fuelled by the anger of those around them, gesturing towards something that as often as not they are unable to describe except in vast, vague and metaphysical terms – the reign of God, the death of the infidel, the destruction of the Other who stands in their way.

Same in china

The Bible says there will be a final all-out ware where ‘waves’ of million man armies march forth.

There has never been a time in history where there was ‘million’ man armies (i dont think) and so that makes me think China...

And why? Well China’s young men do not have women. Women are treated very badly in Muslims countries. China will send millions to wipe out the men and take the women in Middle East countries. (I don’t think this is a bad thing)

What will set them off? A substantial Muslim threat to China, that they decide to fix once and for all.

Notice you don’t hear a lot of Muzzie interference in China, but there will be if they really want to take over the world. I have been to Asia- The Thai people are the sweetest I have ever met- but don’t insult their King or Buddha - because that will set them off, for sure.

If it’s a lack of women then what explains them being violent a*holes when they live in the West?

Will this occur before or after the appearance of the Twelfth Imam?

Certainly explains why they appear to be the most sexually maladjusted people on the planet.

The too many men also have nothing to do so they are sent to government funded quaran schools. Maybe they should be put to work with shovels and such building roads and an infrastructure.

And here I had thought that it was the lack of real women with clitorises due to female mutilation as practiced in many of these countries.

There’s no mystery here. It’s Islam and the sick, backwards bloodthirsty, culture built around it. Where the belief is that it is your religious duty to kill everyone who doesn’t practice Islam.

Yep. And it naturally follows that any women with a lick of sense (or sufficient exposure to values outside the Middle East except Israel) would want to get as far away from traditional Islam as possible.

Even in our most traditional and violent of Native American societies, women and children were still cherished, guarded and protected. The most brutal and savage of those societies such as the Comanche (one of the very few which would sometimes kill captive women and children) was still more advanced than traditional Islamic societies.

You need to go even further back to the wantonly cruel, bloodthirsty and violent Aztec to find anything close to equal to traditional Islamic societies.

Oh there’s women. They are just penned up in houses unable to escape to the world because they are, after all, livestock. (To islamists)
Boys are for fun and women for making babies, to the islamist.

Too many men and not enough women is not the only problem as (i)slam is the other.
