Men Seeking Virgin Brides
Islam and Virginity * Phyllis Schlafly on Feminism
A device to fake virginity! Funny if it were not for the implications for women in Islamic countries. In today's world virgin brides are in short supply.
BBC News 28 September 2009
- A leading Egyptian scholar has demanded that people caught importing a female virginity-faking device into the country should face the death penalty.
- Abdul Mouti Bayoumi said supplying the item was akin to spreading vice in society, a crime punishable by death in Islamic Sharia law.
- The device is said to release liquid imitating blood, allowing a female to feign virginity on her wedding night.
Why is it OK for muslim men to have pre-marital sex but not for the women they marry? Although, to be fair, it is not only Islamic countries where men expect the women they marry to be virgins. Things are no different in India. And one gets the feeling that here in the United States the politicians who publicly champion family values, rail against homosexuals and birth control, and then get caught in sleazy extra-marital affairs are not much different than the muslims who want to marry virgins. Think of David Vitter, Mark Sanford, John Ensign, and Mark Duvall, the California congressman. All Republicans. Sure, the Democrats had their John Edwards and Eliot Spitzer. But they were not bible-thumping hypocrites.
Wonder if the device and fake blood do the trick -- convince the husbands that they married virgins, hymens intact. It is the same religion that, under Hudood Ordinance required rape victims in Pakistan to produce four adult male witnesses to pursue charges. Ya, Habibi. Where do they crawl out from?
Strangely, the neanderthals - Islamic and others -- enjoy support from some women. Check out Ann Telnaes' animated strip about Phyllis Schlafly in The Washington Post,Sept.30, 2009.
