#1 The most wicked aspect of this "morality" is the complete lack of male responsibility for male conduct. And this sexual morality clashes deeply with that of the West, which emphasizes female eroticism in fashion, music, films, advertising. Feminists may argue the merits of all this, but one distinction remains important. In the West, there exists an assumption that men are capable of sexual restraint. It is this presumption that makes it possible for us women to freely take part in public life and make our own private choices. The victim of rape in a miniskirt did not ask for it, and the husband who rapes his wife is guilty of a felony.

All of this answers well towards my objections regarding how Islam is essentially one vast abuse of women. Of far greater importance is the first sentence alone:

The most wicked aspect of this "morality" is the complete lack of male responsibility for male conduct.

Even outside the context of sexuality, this statement still applies in full force. Islamic males simply refuse to take personal responsibility for anything. Whether it be mistreatment of women or flying fully loaded passenger jetliners into occupied skyscrapers, all such vile conduct is always attributed to or blamed upon someone else. One can only hear "The ~~Devil~~ Great Satan made me do it!" so many times before its potency as an excuse finally begins to wither.

Anglican Bishop of Rochester Michael Nazir-Ali put it so extremely well:

THE Church of Englands only Asian bishop, whose father converted from Islam, has criticised many Muslims for their dual psychology, in which they desire both victimhood and domination. In the most outspoken critique of Muslims by a church leader, Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester, said that because of this view it would never be possible to satisfy all their demands.

Their complaint often boils down to the position that it is always right to intervene when Muslims are victims, as in Bosnia or Kosovo, and always wrong when the Muslims are the oppressors or terrorists, as with the Taliban or in Iraq, said Nazir-Ali. Given the world view that has given rise to such grievances, there can never be sufficient appeasement and new demands will continue to be made.

The way that Muslim males desire both victimhood and domination epitomizes the deep hipocrisy and interminable exoneration for even the most heinous behavior that Islam encourages amongst its followers.

When such veritable license to kill is combined with taqqiya, the pinnacle of deceit, it makes a deadly brew that portends absolutely no good for the West. It is a much needed ray of hope that Blair and Straw have both begun to denounce the veil for what it is, a refusal to integrate.

While the hijab might provide a veneer of protection in Arab cultures where its absence is an invitation to rape, in societies that vigorously prosecute sexual assault such apparel merely signifies a refusal to accept the proper protections and normatives of a new host country.

The best resolution of this issues lies in banning the hijab, niqab and burqa. Let those extremists who cannot abide such accomodation to their newly adopted place of residence remove themselve to somewhere that is willing to endure such Neanderthal behavior.

There are many other measures that can serve to discourage Islamic extremism, but such a ban represents one of the most easily enforced and readily enacted moves to do so.
