British author Salman Rushdie, seen here in July 2005, said the West had failed to grasp the extent to which Islamic extremism was rooted in men's fear of women's sexuality.(AFP/File/Mauricio Lima)

So what does he propose? That we sexually liberate Arab countries to end their suicidal ways? Maybe we need to drop dildos so that the men will get jealous and spend more time pleasing their wives/girlfriends than blowing themselves up.

Well, when you already have 1 fatwa upon you, you may as well start a collection of them. Go Salman! GO!

I wonder if female "circumcision" related to Islam's fear of women's sexuality?

Apparently, Mr Rushdie likes to live his life running from machete wielding Arabs.

The author had a 2.8-million-dollar bounty placed on his head by
a Tehran-based foundation.
IIRC, while Rushdie is still alive and well...a number of publishers and
bookdealers around the world got killed as part of the "fatwah fever".

I have a picture of Salman running around the world without security protection.
Either he's dumber than we think, or he thinks we're dumber than we think.

I wouldn't get all excited about Rushdie. He may hate Islam, but he's still a liberal.

I figured out that Muslims had sexual problems quite a while ago just from reading FR and I'm not a psychologist.

Do squishy lefties think about much of anything other than sex?

Yes, unfortunately I think it's the old school "but what if they enjoy it!!!??" mentality. Which, in this case leads to "but what if they enjoy it more than we do!!??", and that in turn leads to scrapping off the genitals to make sure the woman isn't "doing" the man (because now she can't feel anything), if you know what I mean.
What a gross topic!!!

I believe the concept of "lost honor" is the key here, rather than severe cases of Little Dickism (although I'm sure there's a lot of that going around too.)
I've never seen it explicitly stated, but I suspect that many Muslim men are more concerned that their wives and daughters be veiled, rather than that random Muslim females or Western women be veiled. If other men commit adultery in their hearts with "their" women, they have lost their honor, and must take revenge. The women are handiest and easiest to punish. Of course the whole society has to enforce the standards of modesty, or individual men won't be able to make "their" women toe the line and cover up their female identity. Thus the attacks on random women who dare to expose female faces or shapes.
I can only say, if I were a Muslim woman rather than an American, I'd be severely tempted to post naked pictures of myself (with the face obscured) on the internet, thereby cuckholding my assinine, dictatorial "husband" as many times as possible.

Rushdie, 58, said that much of the anger toward the West was provoked by that split on sexual issues.Which explains the success of the West.
