#1 Why not call it for what it is? Massive weakness and feelings of inadequacy inherent in Muslim male culture? Bunch of pussies....their outstanding showing in Iraq won't help either.

I have no doubt the Good Lord has set aside a special corner of hades for men such as Dr Fazal Elahi Zaheer.

I hope that corner is big, honey, cause 99.99% of Muslim males think this way.
The sick thing: Muslim women gleefully swallow this crap and then try to tell infidel women how "wonderful" Islamic attitudes are toward women.
HA!

#3 That is one of the most vile, frightening, disgusting, myopically evil things I have ever read. I knew they thought this way but to see it so plainly and insidiously stated makes my skin crawl. The idea that I should be hidden away because some asshole man can't control himself or his base urges is absurd.

This is a clash of civilizations and I hope more people begin to wake up to what Islam really is and the backwards tenets it demands of everyone. The more I read the more I want to go out and buy not one, but several guns. Thank God Texas is a concel and carry state. It's to bad these women don't have that option. And I'm sure there's a large section of hell just waiting for Allah's followers. I just wish I could see their faces when the realize where they are after blowing up innocent people. Hell is almost to good for them.

#4 He also denounced women who answered phone calls. âThey ask who the caller is, why he is calling and much else. I ask you, what is the purpose of such questions? It is utterly un-Islamic and it has ruined many families. The phone is a curse. Can we even count the number of filthy scandals it has caused?â he asked emotionally.

Nah, these people aren't insane...

#5 I don't understand it. If they want to return to the 7th century, why do they embrace guns and explosives and automobiles and electricity?

#6 Tom:

I believe Ibn Qutb , a major fundie ideologue, said that its ok adopt western technology - Islam was also developing science before it was overtaken by the west (i dont think hes all too clear on WHY it was overtaken) its western religious, social, political, and moral ideas he rejects (of course he also largely misunderstands them, but thats another subject)

Of course this Zaheer is Shiite, so he may have a different view than Qutb who was Sunni. But in general the Shiite fundies in Iran have been glad to use modern technology - they originally used cassette tapes to spread their ideology in Iran.

#7 I just have this vision of this guy calling his buddies' wives and breathing heavy into the receiver while flogging the dolphin as well as spanking it to memories of the time he saw his sister-in-law's ankle. There is a lot of projection going on here.

#8 Of course, the problem here may be that he doesn't get his rocks off often enough. Why would anyone with a healthy sex life want to trade it for the dubious possibility of 72 virgins in the afterlife? Islam needs women - unfortunately, Muslims want to get them by killing non-Muslim men and enslaving their wives and girlfriends. (The thought process seems to be - if raping and enslaving was good enough for Muhammad, it's good enough for modern Muslims).

#9 At the risk of getting myself in trouble I want to point out that Dr. Zaheer's words would have less impact on his audience if the US's illegitimate birth numbers weren't so high and well reported, the same goes for divorce. Family is of very, very, great importance in these cultures, both emotionally and for day to day survival. However, the way all the burden of sexual restrain is placed on the woman sabotages the whole effort, both to protect the woman and have a functioning family, and virtually gives carte blanche to muslim males, "I saw a whisp of her hair and I could not help myself but had to rape her...". Islam's tenets demand a great deal of self restrain in the submission to Allah (i.e. no pork, no alcohol, fasting during the month of Ramadan), why in the sexual area the burden of restrain is so lopsided is bizarre and of course unfair.

#10 Great points, .308. Those fundie nutjobs in Islam should be fought, but we should also question a society that thinks that we can have free-for-all hedonism with no consequences. We can't.

We can be blinded by extreme light just as effectively as by extreme darkness.
