Sexual Rage and Self-Loathing in the Middle East

Lowell Feld writes this article in Intervention Magazine that gives us a look at the twisted world of Islamic culture and how sexual frustration and lack of human rights turns out corrupt, ignorant, frustrated and hate-filled young men by the boatload. And the situation is only getting worse as economic and political conditions in places like Saudi Arabia and Egypt deteriorate. Tom Barrnett predicts that when incomes fall below a certain level of about $3000 a year per capita, social chaos soon follows, and most of the Arab world is well on the way to this level. The only long term solution to this problem is a complete cultural and political shift in the Arab world from dictatorship to an free society based on human rights, open markets and accountable government. Needless to say, this transition will not be easy or quick. Indeed, it will probably be a long and costly fight to bring change to the region, but there is really no alternative other than nuking the whole mess in one all out retaliation against the madness that grips the Arab world. The Arabs should pray that we don't lose patience with them before they can learn to grow up and join the rest of the civilized world.
