* sigh * I really really don't like this sexism argument that keeps coming up. There are 1 billion Muslims on the planet, and this view that "Islamic culture typically believes that women's sexuality can be a destructive" omits large chunks of that population. It's as if someone were to judge Americans base solely on the cultural attitudes of the region from Utah to Nebraska. Hardly representative. Are there elements of the Islamic world that have these attitudes toward women? Without a doubt. But lately the brush being used to paint "Islam" is far, far too wide. What's so wrong with that? Well, for one thing, the U.S. risks pushing away a very strategic military and close economic ally with these sorts of attitudes...
