Islamic sophistication: Women should Breast Feed adult Men.

Nomadic barbarism. The moon cult of the Bedouin, enshrined in the political theology and tautology named Islam or submission, is not known for rational tolerance. Hence it is not a chilling surprise that the fundamentalists amongst the Muslim 'moderates', advocate such activities as drinking camel urine, or forcing women to breast-feed grown men.  It might be hard given the layers of bed-sheets that the female who is worth 1/4 of a male [see Sura 4], must wear and strip off at a moment's notice to engage in the rather bizarre practice of 'filling' the adult man's mouth with her milk.  But there it is.  The demand is clear - breast feed grown men, oh Muslim females, because your great man and founder said so.

Such injunctions are in the Koran, and in the Hadiths. They stem from the 'revelations' of the political adventurer Mohammed, a man deemed by all Muslims to be the greatest human ever born; the seer of all humankind; the spokesman for the moon deity Al-ilah, known in pre-Mohammed times as simply the male moon deity of Mecca.

“(June 5) -- Women in Saudi Arabia should give their breast milk to male colleagues and acquaintances in order to avoid breaking strict Islamic law forbidding mixing between the sexes, two powerful Saudi clerics have said. They are at odds, however, over precisely how the milk should be conveyed.

A fatwa issued recently about adult breast-feeding to establish "maternal relations" and preclude the possibility of sexual contact has resulted in a week's worth of newspaper headlines in Saudi Arabia. Some have found the debate so bizarre that they're calling for stricter regulations about how and when fatwas should be issued.”

'Some have found the debate so bizarre...' No kidding. The Islamic and Arab world are rife with terrorism, civil wars, Jew-racism, radical fundamentalism, poverty, illiteracy and broken societies. Yet the compelling news in Saudi Arabia is a fatwa reinstating a 'law' that an illiterate military adventurer dreamed up some 1400 years ago. It would be as if the Catholic Church, suddenly revisited the the 1400 year old debate on icons of the Christ, and decided that iconography in any form was now forbidden [something that the poverty of Islam has invoked and which is one reason why Muslims have no higher art, see here].

The reason for the Fatwa adjuring women to breast feed grown men, comes from this Hadith which describes a 'revelation' that Mohammed 'received' from his personal-family idol Al-ilah, to resolve the problem of having men being allowed to stay alone with unrelated females:

“It all started when Mohammed decided to marry Zainab, the beautiful wife of Zaid, his adopted son, which was impossible under the prevailing laws of Arabia. Mohammed, however, always had under his sleeve the magical trick called the Quran. He ‘revealed’ some verses renouncing the practice of adoption as nonsense and ordered Zaid to divorce his wife, thereby clearing the way for Mohammed to marry her. The plan worked well for Mohammed but created problems for many others.

.....When Mohammed cancelled the principle of adoption, Salim became a stranger in the house and could no longer be alone with Sahla, Abu Huthayfa’s wife. The Lady complained to Mohammed who immediately provided her with a genius solution- he asked her to breast-feed Salim, after which she would again be allowed to keep him as a son with her in the house. ... The new ruling came handy particularly after Mohammed’s death because Aysha needed more flexibility in meeting and talking to men about Islam. Aysha was a strong advocate of this practice; she encouraged the daughters of her sisters and the daughters of her brethren to breast-feed those men whom she (Aysha) wished to allow in her home.”

Yet another magical revelation, by the moon-guy to his main-man, the rather insane Mohammed. How convenient. The revelation allowed Mohammed to marry the beautiful wife of his son-in-law, and it gave men an excuse to have some sort of sexual relations with an unrelated female. In fact the Koran is littered with the psychosomatic obsession with sex. It is rife within the theology of submission and constitutes one of its main fundaments.

Indeed, any objective analysis of the Koran and of Islam could make the un-startling claim that it is largely a political project designed in part to satiate the rather obtuse, absurd and somewhat unending sexual demands of the Arab male. All through the Koran, revelations to Mohammed about sex with women, female slaves, or desirables such as Zainab, are to be found. Very convenient indeed. One has to be surprised that a 'god' would take such a minute and arcane interest, and fascination with, such sexual trivialities. But then again, the moon deity is very, very determined to keep Mohammed quite happy.

This Hadith demanding that Muslim women breast feed adult males ranks up there with the Islamic advice to drink camel urine, made by Mohammed to his demented followers. Neither is necessary in the modern world, and neither is appropriate in any sense. Yet Islam created the modern world, is peace, love and happiness, and is superior to Western legacies – or so we are told. Any theology which is so obsessed by Bedouin rituals, sex and the use of women as toys is not a religion, but simply an abomination parading as a faith.
