Yeah, right, the proud, pious and upright Afghan people and their stout Arab helpers were introduced to MTV in 2002 and that was sufficient to eradicate a 1000 years of noble Muslim purity.

Abu, don't be an infant.

Poor Abu, stuck living in a fantasy ideal of how he thinks Islam could be practised.

He believes the false history of Islam's golden age, which conveniently ignores the despotic violence used to coerce populations to contribute to this claimed golden age, and dreams that it may return to provide a new golden age of Islam again.

To persist in maintaining this fantasy, he needs to disregard all the evidence of immoral and violent behaviour that we see in the world's current Islamic nations, and he does this by saying they are all symptoms of western corruption.
Only the most self deluding person could maintain that false claim, while totally ignoring the evidence of their own eyes and ears.

Any muslim who commits any misdeed is discounted as either;
a) "not a true muslim", or
b)"a western influenced puppet".

The glaring truth, and obvious conclusion to be drawn from seeing the same types of behaviours acted out across some quite diverse cultures is that Islam is the common factor they share.
Islam is the code they use to justify the behaviours to themselves, whether rightly or wrongly is an interpretive question that Islam itself can never answer, because each is free to interpret the books of Islam as they personally see fit, without direction from any universally recognised Islamic authority.

This lack of authority sees the terrorists as free to use Islam as their justification for violence, as the pedophile or polygamist who uses it's teachings to justify their sexual deviancies.

The four corners show last night which highlighted the misuse of boys in afghanistan by high ranking muslim officials, showed just how impotent Islam is in protecting the weak and powerless, which is not surprising for a doctrine developed by someone who preyed upon the weak and indulged their own sexual deviancies at every opportunity.

These muslim perverts even made the pedophile clergymen of the catholics look positively benevolent by comparison.

One day people like Abu may come to realise that their hopes and dreams for Islam just do not match the reality of what it is, or ever can be, and for the sake of the weak and exploited, the sooner that day comes the better.
When they take off their rose coloured glasses, and see Islam for what it is, they can start to put their energies into trying to change it for the better.

Easy. Type "homoeroticism in islam" into Google Scholar and see what comes up. Or buy the book: Homoeroticism in Classical Arabic Literature

Abu, face it... Cloister one sex from the other as completely as Islam does and libido will find an outlet... Just like in a prison.

Islam doesn't do that though. Islam encourages people to marry and marry upon reaching puberty.

Never mind that not all pubescent girls in a modern society desire a life where they're under-educated and duffed up with 2 kids by 15... And never mind that not all boys are capable of taking on the responsibilities of marriage at 13. No doubt its common in backward and primitive countries such as the backblocks of Afghanistan or Pakistan where they cling to a twisted form of Islam that would have more in common with Christianity of the dark ages. In a modern society, Islam in its present form has no place.

It's clear, also that Muhammad had paedophilic tendencies in that he had a sexual interest in pre-pubescent children... a custom that unfortunately in some Islamic countries (such as Yemen) is still practised. Given that the founder of the religion clearly approved of paedophilia, it should come as no surprise that it's a feature of some Islamic societies.
