Islamic terrorists fear losing control of their women.

Salman Rushdie says it's fuelled by deep anxiety about female sexual freedom You may find this strange. The first country to ban his book the "Satanic Verses" [on October-5-1988] wasn't a Muslim country. It was Rushdie's country of birth India, followed by South Africa [November-24-1988].

You mean, all this terrorism stuff is basically to prevent the rest of the world from seeing and appreciating those beautiful arab women, which we currently cannot because of the veils? Damn! :rolleyes: Regards, Nish

That setting allows for some dramatic stuff I bet. Most Indian movies about Muslim women have similar settings too. Regards, Nish

Of course thats the reason. I am amazed anyone would doubt it. Control of women is what Islam is all about. I mean, lets face it, unrestrained female liberation is a difficult enough thing for even open minded western males to be fully comfortable with.

nobody can comment on this.this is totally foolish.how anybody can say he is a author?
I would say that it is because he has books published. But then again, maybe my interpretation of what an author is is a bit old fashioned and traditional.

Kind of reminds me of a joke I heard a stand-up comic do, "Why are so many Muslim teenage girls starting to have sex earlier?" "Because they don't want to end up dying young and having to spend eternity having sex with suicide bombers" Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

As soon as you write something, you're an author, aren't you? You don't have to have your work published in order to call yourself author (although, that would be meaningless). "how anybody can say he is a author" is a clear indication that abuafraan might not know the meaning of the word "author". :)

True, but publication adds a significant element of ligitimacy to the title.

Not only that but Rushdie is one of our time's greatest authors. To say that he isn't an author is simply ignorance (or denial). regards, Paul Watson Ireland Colib and ilikecameras. K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

I wonder whether your wife used to wear small skirts and blouse in Kerala and your mom used to get pleased after seeing her exposed body. i wonder whether you get pleased when others stare her body when she goes out in minimum outfit on roads od toronto. Personally,its so horrible to see south indians in western outfits,better they keep themselves in veils:rolleyes:

The truth is, that a women who has to be forced to behave in a chaste way will never be anything but an angry, frustrated slut, regardless of how she dresses. I know that both my wife and my mother are women who respect themsleves and live decent, moral lives. I know that because they had the freedom to choose to do otherwise.

Personally, I would say that it is their choice, not yours or that of any other man. The sooner societies around the world learn to accept that and the fact that all people are equal and should be treated acordingly the better off we'll all be as a species.

do you think women who takes veils or women in east have no freedom,that just shows your lack of knowledge about other part of world. here in UAE,women works from both muslim and non-muslim countries,few take viel(including non-muslims) while others wear jeans(including chubby girls from Pakistan and India) and both kinds of women hangout freely with peers,i know this because they are my colleagues.Offcourse i have no doubt that your family women wouldn`t be pious,but you can`t say same for other people on road,can you?how would you feel if someone pass remarks about figure of your wife or young daugther?A normal man wouldn`t like that..atleast in eastern society,maybe western ppl feels proud of it,so its all about culture not a religion.I bet Nishant`s mother used to wear sarees,a traditional outfit of sub-continent rather skirts and tops and i`m also sure that she dosnt feel uncomfortable anyway. so my friend,vieling doesn`t bring discomfort in life,nor exposing body give pleasure of freedom.

yes,my wife works in a bank,covers herself properly,she drives car,she is a good swimmer as well,and she`s not stared by strangers on roads as she keeps herself covered,i didnt ask her to cover herself,it was her choice and i respect her decision.

That observation relates more to the quality of your men, rather than that of your women. "If anything, the West is awash in an epidemic of self-hate crimes." "a civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself"

The UAE is modern and progressive society. Rushdie was speaking of Islamic extremism. As in AlQaeda, Taliban, Lashkar E Toiba etc. The ideal position on issues like this is one of moderation. A quote from an article by Amir Taheri.
Taheri wrote:
A thousand years ago Muslims could say and write things that they cannot today without being put on a death-list from a self-styled mullah somewhere. To prevent extremists from abusing its openness, Islam developed mechanisms designed to encourage moderation. The Prophet's saying, "The best position on {all} matters is a moderate one", was used to develop the concept of "excess" (ghulow) which is regarded as a sin in all matters, including, interesting to note, the worship of God.
