Suicide bombers literally dying to "get some"
An insightful blog posting by the Lost Budgie. Linkage in original; EFL'd mainly by lopping off a section on Saudi men shopping for women's clothing; you should go read it all. Go read the response linked to in the update, too.

"Beautiful Maidens" TV Show Angers Some Arabs

A new television series being broadcast around the Middle East tells the story of young sexually-frustrated Islamists who want to become suicide bombers just so they can collect their rewards in heaven — 72 beautiful virgins.

The "Beautiful Maidens" program has produced an incredible response both from modernist Arabs and traditional Islamic hardliners. Some expect that the television network, cast members and producers will be targeted themselves for confronting the Islamist ideology - and for daring to reveal the connection between the warped Arab sexual values, Islamist misogyny and "misunderstood" Koran verses that leads sexually-frustrated young men to suicide and murder.

One of the show's writers is a would-be suicide bomber who changed his mind. He tells of a fellow suicide bomber who was in contact with his superiors via mobile phone and was heard counting down the seconds to the 'beautiful maidens.' His last words were: 'One second to the 'beautiful maidens.' He then blew himself up.

"No one can deny that one of the reasons that push terrorists to commit terrorism is a concept in terrorist literature: 'Blow yourself up so you can meet 'beautiful maidens.'"

In our newly-embraced love of all things "multi-cultural" it is not considered, um, Kosher, to point out that some cultures are the antithesis of Judeo-Christian values and are not ever likely to peacefully co-exist in Western society. While journalists and academics on the right side of the scale have long addressed the social train wreck that is Arab sexual cultural values, even the "Blame America First" lefties now get the point that there is something intrinsically amiss with Arab sexual culture.

. . .

The idea that Islamist terrorists are literally dying to get laid is not new. What is new, and most encouraging, is that a few brave Muslims are now speaking out and carrying their own cultural war to the very doorstep of the radical Islamist enemy. We may not yet be on the verge of an Islamic Reformation, but many Muslims realize that change is much needed: even if they cannot publicly say so just yet.

Kenneth at Withstand the Fury's Lair posted a response to this article and did some additional research. I'll be darned... It turns out that Islamist suicide bombers often wrap their, er, "Mr. Happy" in tinfoil prior to setting themselves off. How warped is that?

Very.

Kenneth also said this in relation to the investigation of terrorists...

"One of the key rules of investigation is to follow the money. Failing that, follow the genetalia."

Also true of the Clinton administration.

Almost fell off my chair. You owe me a coffee, Kenneth. Mine is on the floor...
