But the source of that rage -- and child abuse -- is not sexual repression. It's polygamy."
This conclusion has been becoming ever more firm in my mind since the attacks. The 72 virgin afterlife fantasy is simply part and parcel with polygamy.
Also, think about what kind of a relationship can a son have with his father, if he is one of 53 children? This is bin Laden's story.
The overwhelming evidence of modern criminolgy links fatherlessness and distant or abusive fathers with all kinds of the most heinous antisocial behavior.
And we see quite a lot of that in Moslem countries, don't we?
"From the viewpoint of this Roman Catholic, it does not. Jews worship the true God. Christians worship the true God. We merely disagree about the details. Nowhere in Scripture are Christians taught to persecute Jews. And, for obvious chronological reasons, Jews are not commanded to persecute Christians. This "allah" fellow, on the other hand, looks suspiciously like one of Satan's management team (if not the actual CEO), because his followers assiduously cultivate the persecution of both Christians and Jews (and anyone else why gets in their way). Islam is even more pernicious than conventional Satanism because at least honest devil-worshippers do not claim that Satan is, in reality, God, whereas Moslems have the effrontery to conflate their "allah" with the Judeo-Christian God."Christian, Muslims, and Jews ALL worship the same God. They ALL just differ on the details(Read your bible, i.e. the tale of the 2 brothers). They were at a time, together. There is a split in history. In fact, the practices of the Jews more closely related to the practices of the Muslim. Again read your Bible, a lot of things that the Muslims do (i.e. harsh punishments, female roles, no pork, etc.), can be found there. Us Christians just ignore a lot of those things, and go away from God's law, to side with Man's law, or the "socially acceptable". We often use the fact that Jesus died for our sins as jusification when we read the old Testment (if we read it), and pick and choose what rules we are going to follow, and which we decide that Jesus has declared that we don't have to follow anymore. I think that it is funny that a Christian can form an opinion that a Jew is more "Godly" that a Muslim. All three differ
You got me! I think I meant it differently, but as Yogi Berra might have said....
PS They also stay crazy for life.
You know Travis I have watched reams of TV news and documentary stuff on the Afghans and Islam et al and I have yet to see one talking head or scholar mention this polygamy component in any discussion. A fair number of these folks are well informed and I respect them but still I have yet to hear a peep about the obvious relationship between polygamy amongst the wealthy males and the endless supply of young poor "serfs" anxious to externalize their frustrations. --- wardaddy
It's amazing how something so obviously is so obviously and universally ignored by the mediots. Do they think we're all idiots like them?
If the above is true, I believe that bin Laden may be feeling sexually repressed right now.
Until recently Muslims married shortly after the advent of puberty.
Well, the mavens of multiculturalism insist all cultures are equal, so who are we to deny it?
Ping for a later read.
ping!
No more opinions on this thread?
Is this stuff for real?
It's from 2001. I didn't know you could bump threads that old.
