Using the Sex Drive to Create Violence

We received the following email a few days ago, and it contains
a good point worth sharing:
I just finished
reading, for probably the 20th time, CW's invaluable article, The Terrifying Brilliance of the Islamic Memeplex.
Today's re-read sparked a thought of a possible addition to entry number 7.
In fact, I think an entire separate article could be written on this premise.
(If CW has already written such an article, I have missed it and my
apologies.)
Entry number 7 concerns the Koran's allowing Muslims to have up to four wives and encouraging Muslims to marry widows, and my thought is this: These two provisions not only help guarantee a steady supply of offspring, they also ensure a steady supply of young men without wives. IMO a significant source of Islam's power amongst young men of fighting age is that by denying them normal sexual relations, their powerful sex drive is then available to be channeled/sublimated into aggression — aggression in which success is rewarded with sex. If they die they get into heaven for sex with virgins, and if they don't die there is a good possibility of obtaining sex by raping captive women. It also helps that the position of women in Islam nearly eliminates the other (i.e. non-sexual) natural moderating influences of women on male aggression. CW, both your site and your book have greatly assisted me in encouraging non-Muslims to learn more about Islam, and your site is always the first one I recommend to those who want to read further. Your work is vital and much appreciated! Regards, L. Evans P.S. Your article, How to Resist Islamic Encroachment and Still Be Happy made me realize that I'm not the only one who gets overwhelmed by what is happening in the world and who needs to take a break from the news. Thank you. |
