[QUOTE="Quintus Curtius, post: 491112, member: 4991"] My thoughts. First off, I'm not a Muslim. I have no interest in promoting any one religion over another. But from what I know and have studied about Islam and Middle Eastern societies, I can say that Islam is probably the most traditionally "masculine" of all the major world religions. Maybe even excessively so. All in all, making all allowances, it cultivates a stern, masculine ethos. That does not mean it's for everyone. It is very rule-driven, much like orthodox Judaism. In fact, those who know Judaism will be surprised at how similar Islam is to Judaism. The moral code, dietary laws, monotheism, and overall puritanical aspects of it all reflect Judaic influence. I suppose for us RVF guys, it's attraction seems to be the fact that it is unapologetic about putting women in their place. Muslim men totally reject all this feminist bullshit. I can understand its attraction to many people in today's societies in Europe and the US. Islam offers strict discipline, rules, structure, a moral code, an uncompromising advocacy of monotheism, and a zealously expansionist ethic. Does the future belong to them? Good question...maybe, maybe not. - [/QUOTE]
