MOHAMMED ATTA, the terrorist involved in the September 11 crime against humanity, left behind an illuminating will. He sternly warned against women being present at his funeral - or at his grave at any later date. He also instructed that: "He who washes my body around my genitals should wear gloves so that I am not touched there."
Atta obviously had a lot of problems.
But far from being the testament of an alienated madman, Atta's will directly reflects the deep-rooted misogyny within Islam itself. And it is misogyny, and all the self-contempt and rage that it nurtures in males, that fertilized the soil in which the pernicious evil of Atta - and of his colleagues -- grew.
In Woman in the Muslim Unconscious, Moroccan scholar Fatna Sabbah documents how the crucial criteria of female "beauty" in Islamic society are silence, immobility, and obedience. Women are supposed to dehumanize themselves in order to be tolerated.
In Islam, males are taught to control desire (shahwa). Women are the incarnation of shahwa. Shahwa comes from the devil. It becomes clear, therefore, why the association of shahwa, the devil and woman is rife throughout Islamic religious literature.
Imam Ibn al-Jawzi taught that female beauty was a manifestation of the devil himself. In his text Dhamm al-hawa, he wrote that the "beauty of women is one of the poisoned arrows of the devil." It is no wonder, therefore, why Islam teaches that hell is largely populated by women. According to a hadith (the record of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad) in Imam Bukhari's Al-Sahih, the Prophet Muhammad states that, as he stood at the gate of hell, he observed that, "Most of those who entered there were women."
In Islam, sex is allowed only in marriage, but even then it is not viewed as an act between two complementary and equal human beings. It is an act concerning only the orgasmic need of the male. Since this need is prioritized, Islam allows the male to marry four wives at a time. The male can also go through serial marriages, since he is allowed to dissolve a marriage unilaterally at any time by simply saying to his wife: "you are repudiated."
Thus, a man does not have to invest in one woman. The concept of "the couple" is shattered; the individual woman is seen as useless and expendable. The confusion in which Middle Eastern boys grow up, therefore, is a given. With all kinds of siblings born of different women -- who obviously weren't good enough to be cherished alone -- the boys get their first taste of misogyny and, therefore, self-hate (since they internalize the notion that their own mothers were valueless).
Since it emphasizes the importance of Muslims conquering all non-Muslims, Islam bestows some intriguing sexual incentives. While it is a sin for a male to have sex with an unmarried woman, Allah makes an exemption for the Muslim male who rapes the women of the infidels that he kills. Muhammad did just that.
This explains why any time Islamic warriors defeat another nation, they call the inhabitants kafir (the one who, according to the Qur'an, is ungrateful to the blessings showered by Allah) and rape their women. Pakistani Muslim soldiers raped a quarter of a million Bangali women in 1971 after they massacred 3 million unarmed civilians. This atrocity is not considered a sin in Islam, because the religious leader of the soldiers decreed that Bangladeshis were infidels.
The Islamic temptation to wage violent war against non-Muslims also involves the sexual incentive of the houries (the 72 eternal virgins in paradise that are given to the Muslim warrior who dies in battle). The houri makes earthly women even more redundant. Yet even the individual houri herself is not sacred or special in any way. As Fatna Sabbah notes, she "has no spiritual dimension; she is a thing because she has neither will nor any possibility of development. . . . [she] has no intellect; she does not think. She is a thing that awaits consumption."
The houri is a manifestation of the ultimate misogyny.
In thinking about Atta's will in this context, his worries become understandable. So does his rage. A male cannot despise women and simultaneously love himself. Misogyny is the ultimate death wish.
Men like Atta and Osama bin Laden detest - and wish to destroy - the world that they see outside their cages. It is a world that delights in the beauty that they have demonized -- outside and inside of themselves.

Sick, evil bastards.
But wait. I'm pre-judging. We need to try to understand why they hate us so.
Imagine. Give peace a chance.

The Sexual Rage Behind Islamic Terror
I really think there's something to this. But trying to get anyone in the media to talk about this will be an uphill battle all the way.
They either beat off like willy j with a room full of sinks... or they see each other as being worthy of their sexual attentions.. after all.. men are like God... and women are devils...
These pukes NEED to die. The world would be better for it.. hell they would be better for it too... To associate a beautiful woman with satan...
Sick, truly sick.
Since the areas they dominate stretch from the Atlantic shores of North Africa, to Indonesia and the southern Philipines in the Pacific, I do believe it would take somewhat more than one. :)
Let's give him credit for subtlety, shall we? After all, we're trying to keep about a billion Moslems in our corner, and isolate the dirtbags.
A society which practices institutional polygamy is doomed to be disfunctional, even pathological. If the rich and powerful can claim (there is no "dating" or choice) four or more young virgins, that leaves the majority of poor and powerless young men with no chance of marriage ever. (Unless he "inherits" his older brother's wives, like so much old furniture.)
These poor and wifeless men know that the palaces and mansions are where all the women are, so to keep the anger and frustration in check, these societies MUST be dictatorships. If they permitted democracy, the social system would be overthrown.
And as a safe vent for the anger and frustration, the leaders of these sick countries must channel their young wifeless mens' bitterness outward, to a foreign enemy: the Jew, the American, the Crusader, the Infidel.
I mean, can anyone answer this simple question:
What kind of sick religion promises its "holy warriors" 72 virgins for eternity as a reward for committing mass murder in the name of their god?
What kind of sick cultures force their women into shapeless bags, because their mere shape will inflame the lust of totally blameless men?
What kind of sick cultures in many nations practice clitorectomy, the removal of the source of woman's sexual pleasure, leaving them wounded and in pain to deny them any chance of sexual fullfillment? Leavig them as unseen covered brood cows, to produce children, and no more than that?
Apparently, somewhere in Islam it must say that hiring hookers and going to strip clubs is ok. Maybe this is considered 'Ho-ahwa' which is acceptable. /sarcasm
A: The same religion that swears allegiance to the Prophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him.
:
You are absolutely right
And then heaven gets perverted to be a place for male sexual gratification with perpetual virgins.
They're worldview is really screwed up and disgusting!
"Do not be deceived.
God cannot be mocked.
Man reaps what he sows.
The one who sows to please his sinful nature, ...will reap destruction.
The one who sows to please the Spirit, ...will reap eternal life." Galatians 6:6-8
God help us! That their sexual/religious fanaticism is gaining world popularity is very dangerous. No wonder the western world is on a collision course with these Muslim fanatics.
What's laughable is that they call this a "holy" war. They must mean holy as in "all-out" because there is nothing holy about these creeps. They are base and evil. Their last night they were soliciting escort service prostitutes from their hotel rooms.
Check out the fear, murder, torture, oppression of Christianity, repression of women and outright thugery that accompanies the fundamentalist Islamic rule. It seems to have started with Iran and the bitter evil man Khomeini, promoted by our well intending Jimmy Carter even. What a kick in the pants that turned out to be.
