Mamdouh Bitar, Samir Sadek:
Even the blind can see the worsening of the formal manifestations of religiosity, from the spread of the hijab to
the widespread listening to religious hymns, the muezzin, and recorded tapes in shops and taxis. We also observe a direct correlation between the abundance of prohibitions and the widespread practice of their opposites. Values have cracked and hypocrisy has spread. So, in short, there is a religious formalism and a social problem, both of which are harmful, neurotic diseases. The escalation of repression with the increase in the number of forbidden things and the severity of their suppression led to sexual repression or sexual misery, which manifests itself in the emotional explosion of the repressed in the form of sexual obsession and aggression, centered around a single subject: sex, its problems, arrangements, necessity, warnings, and its relationship to honor, adultery, and many consequences such as stoning and social assassination. The sexual issue is used as a criterion to determine social status. The more an individual submits to the will of the hypocritical group, the higher his level, and consequently the hypocritical fabricator is positioned at the highest social levels. Sexual misery is manifested by the congestion of desire, which the scholars and jurists find no way to explode except through intercourse, and thus these people in their understanding of sex are close to animalism. Forced intercourse undoubtedly alleviates congestion in the male side, and aggravates congestion in the female side. Congestion and its pathological consequences, such as rape and harassment, disappear with respect for the naturalness of life. Man is born practicing mixing, so mixing in school alleviates congestion. Seeing a woman unveiled and without a stone and a veil is also a mitigating factor, as women were not born veiled and covered. Then the eye practices sex, and the look practices sex. Then friendship, kissing, and love, whether it is, as they say, “innocent” or not, is a journey that holds hands and alleviates congestion. What exaggeration in forbidden things does is perpetuate congestion, which is accompanied by several additional consequences, such as religious obsession that glorifies contempt for pleasure on the one hand and extremism in striving to obtain it on the other hand. Then… Aggression and the erosion of morals through the unbridled practice of harassment and rape. They excel at confining and suppressing the body and its desires, opening a single door to its liberation from confinement. Let you have four wives, let you have the right to monopolize pleasure, let you have power and control as a valve to vent aggression, and let you feel like a stallion before whom no woman, no matter who she is, can do anything but prostrate herself so you can ride her with pleasure, without needing her love or respecting her sexual needs. Sex in this form is not a partnership, but rather a practice of treason and prostitution, i.e., slave trade. The Middle Eastern refugee in the West, who wanders the streets and sees the scantily clad women, has no doubt that he cannot possess that girl as he imagines he is virile, nor can he imagine her rejecting him. How can such a deficient woman refuse? And does a woman deficient in religion and reason have the right to refuse? Her refusal triggers a volcano of aggression within him, which may even lead to an attempt to kill her for committing a grave crime. She is rebelling against his masculinity… God forbid!!! Suppressing the body and desire requires means, and among these means is the consecration of worship, the worship of the institution of domination and control over bodies and souls, and the worship of those in charge of this institution, namely sheikhs and scholars who intimidate and enticement, then guilt-tripping the person and setting conditions to absolve them of guilt. Further obedience to them removes the guilt. These people manipulate the mind and consciousness of the human being and spread slavery in the form of polygamy, temporary marriage, and other forms of slavery, or the relationship between dowry and coercion and personal choice. The dowry determines the type of woman’s rapist; whoever pays the most gets the merchandise. With the dowry determined through consultations between the buyer and the agent of the female merchandise, all the conditions of slavery are met. In order for sexual congestion to disappear and for a person to transform into a creature who lives his life without psychological complexes and imbalance, emotional sexual satisfaction is necessary. This is the opposite of obstructing sexual aspirations and practices based on free personal will. Disability leads to the unbridled aggression and the collapse of morals, then to crimes such as rape and harassment. Every disability that contradicts the natural physiological behavior of a person is deposited in the subconscious of the person as damage and deformity dedicated to what was mentioned of the unbridled aggression and the collapse of morals, or what is called the “emotional plague,” which attacks everyone who was able to realize himself. The adulteress, for example, realizes herself by going against the will of the prevailing trend, so she must be flogged and stoned, since she must originally be congested as others are congested. Adultery is freedom and a departure from equality through congestion. The real motive of the congested person who submits to prohibitions and is under absolute external control is not the defense of honor and virtue, but rather the removal of the punishment that is applied to him and others. A tendency To equate those who rebel against orders and prohibitions with those who submit, submissively and obediently, to them. All the consequences of resentment are negative and backward-looking, inconsistent with the concept of civilization. Man’s backward path will lead him to a state of animalization, i.e., savagery, i.e., to his animal origins. Anyone who examines how sex and women are treated in this region will see savagery and animalization in their ugliest forms, including the invention of the concept of adultery, which does not exist at all in the humanized world!
