A Facebook post from ‘Honor Diaries’ shows Saudi Sheik Yahya Al-Jana vehemently preaching the wonders of paradise that await Muslim men when they die ‘honourably.’ Synopsis: ‘Men go to heaven but women don’t because they’re all whores. In heaven every man has a hundred plus young virgins for sex every morning and Allah gives them extra staying power to do it.’ It’s all with the authority of the ‘word of god’ and frighteningly absurd. Who says women aren’t honourable enough to get in? If no women then where do all the virgins come from? Is not sex with a virgin the most unsatisfying? Wouldn’t it get boring by mid morning day one? If earthly women are whores are you not the son, brother and husband of a whore? How does that make you feel? I’m left thinking the whole tragedy of the Middle East, ISIS, Syria, hundreds of thousands dead and maimed and the migration crisis are all due to a catastrophic failure of Islamic male sex education. Imagine believing all women are either unattainable or a worthless whore. Where does that leave your natural sexual urges? Frustrated if you don’t and whoring if you do. But all this bedevilment will be alleviated in heaven with the illusion of perpetual virgins after your honourable death. It’s a vile nest of Catch 22s that produces frustrated, hate filled, gullible young men bent on (dis)honourable self-destruction. This one ridiculous masculine delusion has turned Islam from a force for good into a force for chaos, conflict and violence in the world. If you believe Sheik Yahya Al-Jana it’s likely your hundred virgins will be gullible misguided young men not women. How would you feel about that?
