Do you think islamic terrorists and bombers are sexually deprived?

Question

here is my theory - i think it has to do with polygamy in most Islamic countries.originally due to infighting among tribes a sufficient no. of male members used to die and polygamy was used as a way to protect women as single women were prone to rape and molestation if they were single.however in the present scenario this leads to an excess of men.

e.g.this is a hypothetical situation.if there are a 100 men and 100 women. 50 men marry 2 women each.this leaves 50 men.furthermore in the next generation there are again 100 men and 100 women.the earlier 50 men marry 2 more women each,leaving 100 men without partners.in most Islamic countries a man is allowed to marry atleast 4 times if not more. no to these 150 sexually depraved men the idea of 72 virgins waiting in heaven by dying for islam must sound very tempting??

Answer 1

Actually its more that the bride price is way too high for most Muslim men, they can't have s*x unless they are married, if they die a martyrs death they get a bunch of virgins in the afterlife, if they blow themselves up in a terrorist act they are a martyr, they are very horney, what is the easiest way to get laid. Blow yourself up. Makes sense to me.

Answer 2

I'm sure they wouldn't be blowing themselves up without the guarantee of 72 virgins waiting to suck them off in paradise. These guys are being manipulated by people who know how desperate these guys are to get a woman. Polygamy benefits a couple of powerful men at the expense of everyone else.

Answer 3

Don't know about the sexual aspect, but it seems highly evident they're pissed about somthing...

Answer 4

I'm not Muslim or Arab, but I taught essay writing enough to tell you this:  your question is too specific and too general at the same time.  A better question would be -  WHY do people blow themselves up?  In what countries and to what extent are these things happening?  How depressed would someone have to be in order to do that?  What brings on this depression?  And finally, what is the level of education of the person who does these horrible things?  

In addition, not everything you are fed by mainstream media is true.  So, a good question would be - where did you get your information?  How reliable are your sources?  Also, everything is NOT related to s*x.  Freud's theories, aside for his work in psychoanalysis, are obsolete.  

The question is - do you want people to agree with you, and, if so, is your argument logical, or are you trying to find out what the root of the problem is so you can offer solutions?...

PS - the 4 wife law was passed because there was a surplus of women, not men.  Take a course in Women in International Perspective.  You'll see religion has nothing to do with it.  Lack of education is the root of all evil, and that goes for any country, Islamic or not.

Answer 5

It's an interesting hypothesis but we are learning that more and more of these fanatics are well-bred, well-educated, Western-influenced and have had their helping of dessert already. The cell recently thwarted in its attempts to blow up targets in London was not comprised of the under-sexed and under-educated: they were doctors, many of them living in the West. I think I we should accept that the motivators here are much more profound than getting your leg over in the afterlife: these people hate us and they want to run over us.

Answer 6

They possibly are.

Answer 7

Nah. They are just modern day hunters, just like the guy next door who likes to pump low flying geese with lead pellets.

Answer 8

I doubt it. I don't know anything about the present marital demographics of the Palestinian territories, but I do know that in most polygamous societies it was only a minority of men that actually practiced it (the wealthier ones). Rarely does polygamy actually create a shortage of women.

The reason suicide bombers kill themselves is very easy to understand. Miserable material conditions, a feeling of being opressed and having no future, and a prevalent ideology that glorifies heroic self-sacrifice and holds the afterlife as superior to the mortal life.

Answer 9

Intriguing point.  I also think if they learned to indulge ina little bit of earthly happiness (s*x, social experiences, laughter, etc) they would be less likely to want to escape this world. I am a Christian and I know how to enjoy these things without it costing me my eternal life. I am giving you a star, sir!  :)

Hey, I think it's too damned hot down there!

Did you ever see the commercial with the couple sitting in the living room-

the woman says, really nastily,

You- you're always breathing, In, Out, Out, In.

The man reaches up and turns the thermostat down.

She suddenly smiles and says-

You want to order pizza?

Then go bowling?

We get CRANKY when we're too hot,

and these people are more than hot under the collar a few months a year.

Their brains are fried!!!

Answer 11

I think you need to re-think your theory...

Answer 12

Sexually deprived, yes. It is a sexually oppressive society. However, like with many countries, money and power = more women to choose from. There is nothing more disturbed than a broke man in any country. How can you feed a wife if you can't feed yourself? These people who are blowing themselves up have no families and nothing to live for (rephrase - nothing in the immediate future to look forward too that is any better than their current situation, some people are short sighted when it comes to their futures). They are no different than an american street thug  who preys on his own community - chasing an idea and willing to die for nothing. How easy would it be to bend the will of someone like that who has nothing but his beliefs? A man will raid the gates of h**l if given something to fight for. Sadly these terrorists take it out on the innocent.
