Malaysia to Ban Sex Manual for Obedient Muslim Wives

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Malaysian authorities plan to outlaw a book about sex published by a group of Muslim women who call themselves the Obedient Wives Club and advocate subservience to husbands.

The Malay-language book titled "Islamic Sex" is not available in shops but is believed to have been read by hundreds of members of the club formed this year by a small Malaysian Islamic sect that practices polygamy.

The book contains no explicit photographs but was written by the club's 56-year-old founder to describe her experiences and opinions on marriage. It has passages on how couples should physically and spiritually approach sex, claiming that most women only satisfy ten percent of their husbands' sexual needs.

The government's Islamic affairs department studied the 115-page book and recommended banning it because it could cause confusion among Malaysia's Muslim majority about acceptable religious teachings, a Home Ministry official said on condition of anonymity.

Followers of no other faith can be more sex-driven than Muslims are. It's all to do with the nature of the faith, of course. Force women to live in purdah, forbid the co-mingling of the sexes, encourage carnal pleasures (in secret, of course), and bang!, what do you get? A huge appetite for the pleasures of the flesh! – © Mark

Saudi Author Expresses His Opinion About Westerners
Might I suggest that this author look at the sexual practices of his own people – Muslims in general and Saudis in particular - before he starts criticizing the sexual practices of Westerners, i.e. infidels? He has his work cut out bringing morality to his own people! People in glasshouses shouldn’t throw stones!
