Comrade2070:
So I might enjoy the full force of your erudition, explain to me how and why virginity is pure.
"I have never heard of any Muslim or Arab man boast about sex"
Lying is immoral to many people, although I guess a little Al-Taqiyya never hurt anyone ...
Comrade:
Taqiyya, while an interesting phenomenon and seemingly a fitting tool for ritewing character assasins to impinge any Muslim who speaks his mind or holds a position, it is actually NOT a practice of the vast majority of the Muslim world which is Sunni since it is a phenomenon of the repressed Shia culture. In fact, it was practiced primarily by Shia in the face of a threat which they percieved to jeopardize fundamentals of their life: family, honor, property, religion, life.
But I am not a Shia, nor do I find you a threat. And if you had the decency to quote my entire statement, you would find that I have qualified my statement consistent with reality: that no Muslim man boasts about his sexual exploits EXCEPT that he is depicted as immoral, dishonorable, unfitting for his family.
In fact, the only Arab and Muslim men whom I have come across as engaging in sexual relations usually with nonMuslim woman who were my colleagues inquired about Islam and Muslims. I openly informed these women that sexual conduct outside of marriage is considered immoral in Islam and the Muslim men engaging in it are unfit and of untrustworthy character. And the Muslim scholars and mentors that I have personally known taught me in this way.
I have no qualm in speaking the truth that Muslims are human beings that include those who do good those who do bad.
