The real question is why do militants hate good hygiene?

One reason for Islamic terrorism is there are too many Moslems. At least in the sense that the economies of Islamic countries cannot create enough jobs for all the young people coming of age. Consider that for the last fifty years, the population of all Moslem countries has tripled. That's population growth that is more than double the rate of the world as a whole, and about ten times the rate of Europe. It's about five times the rate in the United States.
Many of those unemployed young men are angry, and making war is a typical activity of angry young men. But the women are not too happy either, and this is becoming one a major threat to Islamic terrorists. In Islamic societies, women's activities are greatly restricted. One thing they are encouraged to do is have lots of children. Many women in Islamic countries are rebelling against this. You don't hear much about this, because women don't rebel in the same loud, headline grabbing way that men do. What unhappy women often do is stop having children. Not so easy to do, you think? Well, think again.
The rest of the world has found that the best way to curb population growth is to give women educational and economic opportunities. This actually works too well, with many industrialized nations producing so few children, that their populations are shrinking. The primary way around this is allowing migrants from higher population countries. In Europe, this has meant lots of Moslems. While this has brought in some terrorists, the vast majority of migrants are looking for economic and educational opportunities. But it's in Europe that you get the best look at the womens revolt in the Islamic world. The men are fighting back, and the rebellious Moslem women murdered in Western countries get reported. But they are now becoming news in countries like Pakistan as well.
While Islamic countries tend to have very low levels of education, especially for women, the introduction of satellite television and DVDs has enabled even illiterate women to learn that there are other options. Ignorance is an excellent form of control, but when the ignorance is lost, so is the control.
Thus in most Islamic countries, the women are having fewer children, and making more noise about economic and educational opportunities. This resonates with some of the better informed Islamic men. One reason the West, and other parts of the world, have enjoyed much better economic growth than the Moslem countries, is that they have added large number of educated women to their work force.
Losing control of the women is something that makes Islamic conservatives very angry. Murderously angry. This is a vicious, lethal battle taking place largely out of the media spotlight. But, long term, it is destroying the source of Islamic terrorism.
What say ye Eric Estrada?
You could probably eliminate I-slam from the planet by providing every woman of marriageable years in the slammite world with a 9mm auto pistol and 100 rounds of ammo. Total cost would be under a hundred billion and it would be money VERY well spent.
Its like the wife beating husband. He’s afraid his girl will like someone else better than him.
This cult was designed purely to dominate by numbers, and place absolutely no value to human achievement...
All of which then makes stuff like this extremely disheatening.
Muslims men are sexually insecure and cope by trying to turn back the clock to the XIIIth century. Islam has failed the test of modernity and is in the grip of a death spiral which may cost us dearly.
If Islamic countries did not control so much oil wealth, no one would really give a fig what they did. (And without oil, Iran would be Pakistan on a smaller scale.)
They should not be allowed to bring their anger and woman-hating into the USA.
Micropenis
Micropenis is a medical term that describes an unusually small penis in a human male. A common criterion is a dorsal (measured on top) penile length at least 2.5 standard deviations smaller than the mean penis size. The condition is usually recognized shortly after birth. The term is most often used medically when the rest of the penis, scrotum, and perineum is well-formed, without ambiguity such as hypospadias.

Staying in Iraq makes sense if every jihadist we kill makes women that much more of a majority in the ME.
I lived in Saudi Arabia from 81-85 and you could see Saudi families with their Toyota pickup trucks (no double cabs). The husband would be driving and the sons and Wife would be crammed in the cab, while the little daughters in the truck bed. Women there are treated more like afterthoughts.
It could be worse. They could be Chinese.
They don’t bind their feet anymore. Also, don’t you think China has loosened up on its gender divide? I know that Japan and Korea have changed from people that I know that have lived in both countries.
