I believe in freedom of speech, but Irfan Awwas is absolutely correct. Playboy magazine had exactly that effect on the United States.

I suggest the point is that islam's attempt to remove temptation from life creates repression in society. If islam instead taught the concept of overcoming temptation, it would encourage its adherents to assume responsibility for their actions and to develop the strength of character needed to overcome temptation.

Islam's dysfunctional system of blaming the temptation for evil is ultimately responsible for the concept of honor killings of rape victims and many other vile customs.
