The term most Americans would apply is F.O.S.

It's an easy enough acronym to figure out

This guy is so full of bullshit I don't even know where to start. But lets just touch on the issue of women for a moment. He says that we exploit women but yet in the Islamic soceity that he calls for women have no rights at all. They can't vote, they can't drive, they can't go out by themselves, and if they do go out they have to cover themselves from head to toe, they have to walk behind the men and overall they are treated as second class citizens. The men can have multiple sexual partners simply by marrying another woman which is not by their choice of course. But a woman is beholding to one man and the only thing that can break that hold is the death of that man. And even then her next partner will not be of her choosing.

He talks of our lack of sexual descenty but yet by our standards even Mohomad was a child molester. He married a 9 year old. Of course it was not her chioce because she was female. Yes I know that others will say but other societies married their girls young. That is true but usually it was not until a girl was considered to be of age which was about 12-14. Actually he took her in when she was 6.

There is just so much more but I just don't have the time to write it all. I will say one thing though that if we were to play by his rules then we would have already nuked the whole of the Middle East and said the hell with it.

There's a story about American troops in Iraq who encountered an Arab riding his camel while his wife walked on foot in front.
That was quite a shock for them, even though the man was still on the camel and the woman on foot, for once she didn't walk behind. When they asked the man about it, laughing that some western ideas might have finally got into him, he simply replied:
"ho no my friends, the big difference is that there are landmines around".

Pretty Hitler and Stalin aren't around they'd have made perfect cell mates for Bin Liner. Conversation would have interesting to eves drop on.
The guys a fanatic who wants to rule the world.

[Strahd]

.And it is the religion of unity and agreement on the obedience to Allah, and total equality between all people, without regarding their colour, sex, or language.


Doesn't that contradict the entire, women must cover themselves, walk behind men, etc etc etc.

Yes, yes it does. And it's more true to the Muslim ideology than the practices you're referring to.
