The Sexual Rage Behind Islamic Terror
Frontpage Magazine ^ | October 4, 2001 | Jamie Glazov

Posted on 10/03/2001 11:51:38 PM PDT by samtheman

ALL SERIAL KILLERS, almost without exception, are severely sexually abused as children. The kind of people who hijack a plane with innocent people and drive it into a building with thousands of other innocent people are related to this phenomenon.

When sociopaths rape and kill, they do not see their victims as human beings, but only as objects. This is because the sociopaths were themselves, at one time, used as objects as their bodily integrity was repeatedly violated. The rage that results from sexual abuse is one thing, but when combined with living in a dysfunctional culture of sexual repression and misogyny, where love is reduced to violent domination, it is quite another.

Throughout the Islamic Middle East, men and women are taught to be vehemently opposed to pleasure, especially of the sexual variety. Men are raised not only forbidden to touch women, but to even look at them. Sex before marriage is not just a sin -- but a criminal offence. It is punishable by a severe beating at best, and an execution at worst.

The sexual privileges that are allowed in Islamic cultures are permitted to men. Women’s sexuality and social independence represent major threats to male supremacy and are tightly controlled. Thus, as the Moroccan feminist Fitna Sabbah reveals in her book Woman in the Muslim Unconscious, there is a disturbing conflict in the Middle East between sexual libido and repression. A deep-seated fear of, and hostility to, individuality prevails, and its main expression exists in misogyny.

Socially segregated from women, Arab men succumb to homosexual behavior. But, interestingly enough, there is no word for "homosexual" in their culture in the modern Western sense. That is because having sex with boys, or with effeminate men, is seen as a social norm. Males serve as available substitutes for unavailable women. The male who does the penetrating, meanwhile, is not emasculated any more than if he had sex with a wife. The male who is penetrated is emasculated. The boy, however, is not, since it is rationalized that he is not yet a man.

In this culture, males sexually penetrating males becomes a manifestation of male power, conferring a status of hyper-masculinity. It is considered to have nothing to do with homosexuality. An unmarried man who has sex with boys is simply doing what men do. As the scholar Bruce Dunne has demonstrated, sex in Islamic societies is not about mutuality between partners, but about the adult male's achievement of pleasure through violent domination.

There is silence around this issue. It is the silence that legitimizes sexual violence against women, such as honor crimes and female circumcision. It is also the silence that forces victimized Arab boys into invisibility. Even though the society does not see their sexual exploitation as being humiliating, the psychological and emotional scars that result from their subordination, powerlessness and humiliation is a given. Traumatized by the violation of their dignity and manliness, they spend the rest of their lives trying to get it back.

The problem is that trying to recover from sexual abuse, and to recapture one’s own shattered masculinity, is quite an ordeal in a culture where women are hated and love is interpreted as hegemonic control.

With women out of touch ?and out of sight -- until marriage, males experience pre-marital sex only in the confines of being with other males. Their sexual outlet mostly includes victimizing younger males ?just the way they were victimized.

In all of these circumstances, the idea of love is removed from men's understanding of sexuality. Like the essence of Arab masculinity, it is reduced to hurting others by violence. A gigantic rupture develops between men and women, where no harmony, affection or equality is allowed to exist. In relationships between men, meanwhile, affection, solidarity and empathy are left out of the picture. They threaten the hyper-masculine order.

It is excruciating to imagine the sexual confusion, humiliation, and repression that evolve in the mindsets of males in this culture. But it is no surprise that many of these males find their only avenue for gratification in the act of humiliating the foreign "enemy," whose masculinity must be violated at all costs ?as theirs once was.

Violating the masculinity of the enemy necessitates the dishing out of severe violence against him. In the recent terrorist strikes, therefore, violence against Americans served as a much-needed release of the terrorists?bottled-up sexual rage. Moreover, it served as a desperate and pathological testament of the re-masculinization of their emasculated selves.

When I read "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom," I was mildly repulsed by some of Lawrence's observations (when he contrasts the "raddled meat" of the Arabic prostitutes with the young men on the campaigns, he reveals just a bit too much), but it did make me realize that Yasser Arafat was just carrying on the old family tradition.

Contrasted whith Paul's high regard for the Priscillas of the early Church, Islam has not offered their women much, apart from the opportunity to sacrifice their sons to violent causes and/or ululate over the misfortunes of others.

Interestingly when I was practicing medicine I ran across this same mindset in the newly immigrant Hispanic community, that the male who penetrated was not homosexual, just the recipient.

This is just like Bill Clinton's thinking. Monica was having sex, but he wasn't. Her lips touched his penis, but he didn't touch her.

I am not surprised. The Apostle Paul, in Romans Chapter One, describes how man's failure to recognize and worship the one true God (Jehovah, and His Son, Jesus Christ, not "allah") leads to the worst sort of debasing sin. In fact, we are told three times that God "gives them over" to their sin.

If Christianity is true, then Islam is a lie. If Islam is true, then Christianity is a lie. It may not be PC, but I believe that "Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father", and must thus dismiss Islam as a soul deceiving lie.

These killers were "repressing their libidos" the night before their act of war by getting lap-dancing at a strip club. Read the 1998 article from the reporter who infiltrated the Taliban camp--his biggest shock was how many asked him to have gay sex with them. Repressed? I think the problem is they live out their perverse fantasies both in sex and in politics.

Throw their dirty a$$es out!

I can't understand the logic that the one doing the penetrating isn't the one that's unusual. If you can "get it up" looking at a boy's back side or, worse, a man's hairy back side, I think you're the one who has "issues".

A little lite reading to spark the debate:

The X-RATED PARADISE OF ISLAM

And this excerpt from here:

Since the Qur'an has not clearly prescribed a punishment for sodomy, some Schools of Thought in Islam have considered sodomy as "mobaah" [i.e. meaning allowable in an impunible and indifferent sense.] while others have considered it "jaa'iz" [i.e. meaning allowable, permissible and lawful.]. For example Maleki, the founder of the Maleki School of Thought within Sunni Islam says:

"Having sex with a young man (without beard) is fine for a man who is not married and who is on a trip." ( cit. Hesaam Noqaba'i, Hoquq-i Zan, pp. 126-127 (section on "lavaat"/"sodomy"))

The Shi'ah books of law also leave the door unlocked for the cases of "Oops, I forgot! sodomization of boys. The following Shi'ah ruling hints at this:

"If he has had sexual intercourse with a boy according to precautionary rule, it becomes unlawful for him forever to marry the boy's mother, his sister, or his daughters even if they are boys not adults. If one is married to one of such ladies before such act, it does not affect the already existing marriage, although it is a precautionary rule to avoid such marriage. Extending this rule to the case wherein one doing the act is a minor the one letting it done to him is an adult, is objectionable, according to a clear view it does not apply. The daughter or brothers and sisters of the one letting it done to him do not become unlawful to one who has done the act." ( Islamic Laws of Worship and Contracts, p. 614, CR #1259 Ayatullah Al-'Uzma Al-Sayyid Muhammad Al-Husayni Shirazi)

In the Ottoman Empire the Khalifs use to keep young boys in the Harems for satisfying their sexual appetites [Such reference may be found in books such as: "The Spirit of Laws" by Montesquieu and "Chronichles of Shirly Brothers"]. Within the Iranian society "bache-bazi" or "sexual play with young boys" has been an under the carpet social norm for many centuries and the ambiguous nature of the Qur'anic prescription has not been able to bring halt to this social illness. Will Durant refers to this issue in his book "History of Civilization". He writes:

"Sexual indulgence was apparently more abundant and enervating in Islam than in Christiandom, though it was usually kept within the orderly limits of polygamy. Turkish society was almost exclusively male, and since there was no permitted association of men with women outside the home, the Moslems found companionship in homosexual relationships, Platonic or physical. Lesbianism flourished in the zenana." ( Will & Ariel Durant, History of Civilization vol 7 (The Age of Reason Begins) p. 520)

The Qu'ran lists death as punishment for homosexuality, but here we have indications that it exists and is given some rationale or, at least, quiet acceptance. Could be a source of cognative dissonance and emotional conflict for islamic men.

"These are the people coming to our shores, in droves."

They are already here. We have been infiltrated and subverted for decades.

Remember: at least one of the WTC hijackers was a "naturalized citizen."

Think these facts over...and what do you conclude?

"Therefore, the only solution is do a sex change surgery on him and send 'her' back to the Taliban to live as a woman in their society...">

Okay, but may I suggest one other treatment?

Remove one of his heart valves and surgically insert a pig's heart valve to replace it.

Yeah, I'm sick.

After reading this,I rememeber a class I took many years ago where they touched on homosexual practices among some cultures prior to marriage ( and in Africa sometimes after thus the AIDS )...

Satan preverts what God has made.God made Man and Woman and said it is good..and it is good.Marriage is a symbol of the relationship God has with the church..so is it any wonder that satan would attack and prevert that? And then the world would just call it an "altermative life style".

Pity the children of Islam, the world will not have the courage to speak up for fear of being thought of as intolerant.

I have no tolerence for this false religion.

Who says it's logical? These people are brainwashed from birth regarding Mohammed's teachings. Read (and re-read) the information contained in the link in post #55. It all starts to make sense after the initial shock and revulsion. These men are ISOLATED from women from the get-go.
