This story is getting a lot of buzz:
I’d simply note that Islamic necrophilia is a logical extension of the Islamic custom of female genital mutilation:
FGM is often motivated by beliefs about what is considered proper sexual behaviour, linking procedures to premarital virginity and marital fidelity. FGM is in many communities believed to reduce a woman's libido and therefore believed to help her resist "illicit" sexual acts. When a vaginal opening is covered or narrowed (type 3 above), the fear of the pain of opening it, and the fear that this will be found out, is expected to further discourage "illicit" sexual intercourse among women with this type of FGM.
Muslim men want to enjoy sex, but they don’t want the woman to enjoy sex. So the perfect solution is to have sex with dead women! Ted Bundy is the patron saint of Islamic sexual expression.
As I understand it, these peculiar edicts often come from some obscure Hadith. Any idea's on where this pathetic edict came from?
ReplyDeleteIt certainly wasn't from the Kitab on Marriage.
