My associate "Steve Omega" makes a very good point on the effectiveness of such a doctrine, vis-a-vis Arab society being strictly segregated sexually:
"... The rich people from Muslim lands come west to indulge their depravity in the fleshpots of western cities. Now western consumerism is hardly a perfect thing, but it does allow the greatest freedom for the greatest number of people. We are all freer than a Roman emperor to travel the world and indulge ourselves with vices should we so choose. As with the parable of the Tares, the good and the bad coexist side by side. But this access to instant gratification and moral temptation is what allows most of us to mature spiritually and overcome our lusts. To reject those things of our own free will, to indulge and repent are our own rites of passage. The mullahs would have all things they consider bad, removed and banned from society. To cover up women so we can’t be tempted, but all this does is really stoke the lusts and desires. So it is then that young suicide bombers can’t wait to get to paradise and satiate their lusts on the 72 virgins promised to them by hypocritical clerics. The Sept 11th terrorists like others before them used money to have a few good times in strip clubs and wash down the whiskey at the first opportunity to do so.
"It is in human nature that we can’t create a completely perfect or lust free society. Making things forbidden only perverts the lusts into other areas. Furthermore what kind of childlike mind must a Muslim have that he can’t see an unshrouded woman without being overwhelmed with lust? Like a child, they can’t see something without wanting it. So what kind of immature attitude is that? And clearly the idea of covering men up in a bag so that they aren’t inciting lust in the women isn’t a concern. You don’t abolish lust and desire just by removing the object. All that happens is that you are cloaking it, but the base instinct is still there. It is better to have temptations out in the open and trust that each can confront their inner demons as it were, and choose wisely. I forget where I saw it, but I once read that living under Islamic law is like being in a prison run by children."
You can see how the promise of unfettered sexual activity to a Palistinian young man could be an extremely seductive impetus to engage in a homicide bombing.
Sick? It's absolutely insidious.

ISLAM: A Critical Review
By "Steve Omega"
When we lived in the middle east, my father from time to time would have to come back to the states for meetings and such. He always tells of the arabs on the foriegn carriers immediately changing out of traditonal garb and summoning the flight attendants for whiskey....before the flaps are even retracted or the wheels are in the well. I guess the piety and reverence that muslims preach is only a part time application, to be used only in ones own country. The glaring hypocrisy that is Islam, never ceases to amaze me with its double standards and just plain foolish laws and customs..
