Posted earlier on Zaydouns blog. Hopefully no one gets bombed, decapitated, or burned for this. heheh... It makes perfect sense that fundamentalism and a sexually repressed society would breed a backlash. I think society in general should embrace their sexuality as a healthy natural part of their being rather than creating articial barriers and dealing with the repurcussions. These fundamentalists, who claim to preach God's words, should reason that God created us with sexual orientations that would facilitate the survival of our species, and work to make youth comfortable with their sexual nature, not make it more awkward than it already is!!! After all, young teens were being sexually passionate well before organized religion found its way to this planet! Teenagers will be teenagers!And another thing, I think the miserable way of life that these "Islamic forces of darkness" preach facilitates the belief that "this world sucks" and "it's all about the afterlife." In a life of misery, robbed of life's simplest and most wonderful pleasures, in a life dedicated to God worship, people really do have nothing to lose by suicide. Its a viscious circle. To go to heaven your life on earth has to suck, because your life on earth sucks you want to go to heaven, to go to heaven you have to listen to us, if you listen to us your life on earth will suck. Repeat until death. LOL
But alas, suicide is 7aram, because your soul belongs to God. But suicide bombing isn't, because you'd be a martyr. So in effect, killing yourself peacefully without harming anyone else is 7aram, but taking other people with you is okay. Of course, this notion defies every human being's inert moral code, but who needs that when you don't need to think about that stuff, you got RELIGION to give you all the answers, or rather religious FUNDAMENTALISM. Ah yes, RELIGION fundamentalism; simple answers to life's most timeless and complicated questions. Where do I go when I die? God says so right here! Wow! Where did we come from? God! Wow this is cool, I really don't need to think now! All the answers are right here!Yes, ladies and gentlemen. It's morphine for the brain. Just like when you're driving down the road in Kuwait and you see the "Allahu Akbar" and "Istaghfar Allah" signs. Repress your thoughts. You are a servant of God. We just happen to represent him, so hook us up. Give us your money. Make us rich. Have our banking institutions not regulated by the central bank (we answer only to God). Give us the finances for a nice vacation in Cancun while we tell you that you can't watch the olympics on TV.The only way the Islamic forces of darkness will subside in this country is if and when there is no more money to be made, or no power to gain. This power and money comes from the people, so a fundamental change in the people must take place. In thought, and in education. We the youth of Kuwait must fuel this change.
