State-Run Newspaper: “Veil is for Sexual Arousal, Jews are Fine with Incest”

Kamangir | August 1, 2007 | Category Iran, Islam, Islamic Republic

“Veil, for Enhancing the Sexual Passion or for Suppressing it?” is the title of an article published in Resalat, a far-right state-run newspaper. The author, Seiied Reza Alavi ( Ø³ÙŠØ¯ Ø±Ø¶Ø§ Ø¹Ù„ÙˆÙŠ) writes, “Jewish culture is one of the sexiest in the world, in which sexual relationship between father and daughter, son and mother, and brother and sister are tolerated and considered acceptable“. He continues, “In Islam, veil is to preserve sexual passion and to arouse sexual thoughts. This gives a meaning to sex and does not ruin its meaning, as nudity does… Sex and hunger have been the framework in which human culture has grown up. Religion has stepped in this framework and has given a humane meaning to all this. Thus, no religion forgets sex.” The author then comprehensively discusses the human history, and different religions, and concludes, “Thus, veil is a sexual tradition which arouses sexuality in the society and then pushes for its satisfaction through wedlock”.

No comment. The picture is decorative.

The vail has nothing whatsoever to do with sex and everything to do with keeping women in submission in a world controled by men who have a legal right to abuse women.

Kamangir: I agree but the author seems to be aroused by the veil. :)

That’s nice, how the author of the article managed to tie in anti-Semitism into an article that had absolutely nothing to do with Jews or Judaism.

Incidentally, I have some human baby sandwiches and matzohs baked with the blood of innocents, if you want. I’m Jewish, after all, that’s what I eat. And I’m not as greedy as all the other Jews, so I’m willing to share.

Kamangir: Dis you not love it? He must be a genius!

â€œIn Islam, veil is to preserve sexual passion and to arouse sexual thoughts.

Just the opposite, as Ayaan Hirsi Ali explains in “The Caged Virgin.” Wearing the veil makes women responsible for men’s sexual behavior, since men can’t control themselves. Thus an unveiled woman is the one at fault in a rape, since she should have known better.

If she were to read the Resalat article, I’m not sure she would know whether to laugh or cry.

Kamangir: I assure you that I did read the article for a couple of times to make sure I have gotten the message correctly!

No one is filthier than an Akhoond (mullah) in Persian culture. They are sexists, murderers, and power mongers. A simple review of the Iranâ€™s history in the last 1400 years, and particularly from the time Khomeinie appeared in Iran reveals the filthy nature of these animals called Imams and Mullahs. I guess having 4 permanent wives and unlimited temporary women and prostitutes called “Seegeh” can be called Civilized. Only if you are an Akhoond , Taliban (Talabe), Mullah, Andrew Young, or Carter you can call the women apartheid a civilized act.

Only a sick perverted enity can come up with such a twisted and warped proposition. What’s next? Legs on tables are sexual and need to be covered???

Kamangir: I see you are understanding the mentality, legs of tables? Good thinking! :)
Zvi | August 1st, 2007 at 6:12 pm
No, no! Not enough! The whole table must be covered! Tables that are not completely covered are solely at fault if cats or crazed chairs attack them!

*Sigh*

The author of the Resalat article obviously has a very unsatisfying sex life and spends his time in an imaginary world filled with bizarre fantasies about Jewish sex which, apparently, he mistakes for the real world. He needs to go home and enjoy some “quality time” with his wife like the rest of us do.

I think covering table legs has been done by some very uptight and sexually repressed people in the past. Victorian era?
What drivel! Sad that some people will believe that garbage. Incest in Jewish culture? That’s totally against their believes! What sick mind comes up with stuff like that?? These people seem to have a obsession with sex. There’s more to life! Oh yea, covering up women probably gives the men a thrill because of the power they wield over the poor females unlucky enough to be born into that society.
If these people really believed in God, they would be to afraid to behave that way, we’ll stand before Him on judgment day.
Unbelievable! It’s a mad, mad world.

I agree, Kaman, the author is indeed a genius. A twisted kind of genius, who does unspeakable things to people in his cellar most likely, but a genius nontheless.

Could make a guess now about what the author lacks… but I’ll only say this: If you keep a river from flowing, it will flood your village as the water always finds a way ^^.

I have a Persian cookbook in which there’s a photo of a large door with a 2 knockers on it. On the left, there’s a heavy ring and on the right, there’s a thick stick. Under the picture it says that one of the knockers is for women, the other one is for men so that the lady of the house knows who’s standing in front of the door (the stick hits wood, the ring hits metal). I found that very amusing. (certainly the author of the article would love it)

It has been awhile since I posted (new job), but this seems like a good place to start again!

Re: Veil arousal

I suppose if all a female was wearing a veil, most guys would be sufficiently aroused. :p
