Sex on the Beach No Excuse for Jihad

Bad behavior in Arab countries should be condemned because it is wrong, not because it fuels radical Islam.

“They belch, vomit, copulate, litter, and barge their way through public spaces, dressed like hookers and louts, defying the police without shame or modesty. British expatriates are some of the worst: overpaid, oversexed, and all over the place.”

This is how Minette Marrin, writing in the Times, describes the British abroad, and with some justification. Marrin is responding to the case of well-heeled expatriates Michelle Palmer, 36, and Vince Acors, 34, who had drunken sex on a beach in Dubai and insulted a policeman who tried to caution them. The “couple” — or rather “copulating pair,” for they had only just met — were sentenced to three months in prison for offending public decency and fined about £200 ($320). As a preventative measure, Dubai’s popular Madinat Jumeirah hotel recently issued an “etiquette guide,” warning guests to “employ discretion” in public displays of affection (“anything more than a peck on the cheek”). The guide also warns that “drunken behavior, especially outside licensed premises in the hotel, is severely punished.”

The guidelines are not unreasonable for a hotel in Dubai: “When in Rome do as the Romans do” is a very reasonable adage. Nor is the punishment of Palmer and Acors excessive. The fine is small beer to a wealthy expatriate, and in Dubai, Western expatriates earn good money. Even the prison sentence, by the standards of a Muslim country, is not draconian. Strict Islamic law would require lashing or stoning for sex outside marriage — in private, let alone in public. I have no sympathy for them, nor do most readers commenting on this and other articles in the British press. Contrary to the impression given by Palmer and Acors, most Britons disapprove of such public drunken exhibitionism, whether in Dubai, Spain, Greece, or even — cold and damp permitting — England.

Minette Marrin is right to condemn the couple’s behavior, their arrogance in treating Dubai as their playground, and even the permissive Western culture that makes such behavior seem acceptable. However, she goes further:

Is it surprising that so many Muslims around the world despise us for our decadence when we express our sympathy with British men and women who behave like this? …

This is the kind of attitude that gives freedom a dirty name. No wonder so many Muslims here look down on the host culture and try to isolate their sons and daughters from its unthinking libertinism. …

The careless cultural imperialism of British expatriates abroad — their selfish, insensitive, sluttish behavior — must be partly to blame for the cultural hostility and separatism that are growing among Muslim minorities at home here today.

Ross Clark, writing in the Times on another occasion, comes straight out with what Marrin only hints at:

There is no better recruiting sergeant for al-Qaeda than the sight of Westerners trying to thumb their noses at the laws of Islamic countries.

Sex on the beach, according to Clark, is a Molotov cocktail. Hot-blooded sex provokes cold-blooded murder. Violent jihad is a natural response to Western decadence. Marrin is less direct: Western decadence makes “Muslims around the world despise us” and “look down on the host culture” and leads to “cultural hostility and separatism.” And we all know that when Muslims are hostile, “extremism” is never very far away.

No, Islam has nothing to teach the West about morality. One subject that I’ve never heard discussed outside fellow servicemen who’ve deployed to the Middle East is the prevalence of homosexuality (more specifically homosexual pedophilia) and bestiality among Middle Eastern Muslim men.

A common saying I heard in both Iraq and Afghanistan is that “women are for making babies, boys are for pleasure”. The governor of Nangarhar, a former war lord, is famous for keeping a harem of boys at his palace.

It’s also common for a man to “practice” with animals. Soldiers in units I’ve served with in both theaters of war, sneaking around after dark with night vision devices, have gotten eye-fulls of that particular depravity.

Islam condemns both homosexuality and bestiality, of course, but everyone in the Middle East knows both are common practices, and no one does anything about it. They accept both as normal behavior and find ways to rationalize it. In Iraq, for example, only the man being penetrated is considered a homosexual. In Afghanistan, Thursdays are reserved as the day when men are allowed to have sex with each other (or with boys) because Friday is their holy day, and can therefore be forgiven.

Finally, the most radical Muslims who deride the West most for its depravity are the ones most likely to engage in even worse depravity. The US used prostitutes - both male and female - as informants to locate Al-Qaeda operatives in Iraq, most famously in Ramadi. An SF team in Nangarhar killed an IED team while I was there earlier this year as the two men paused to have sex with each other while setting up the device. Also, would-be suicide bombers captured in both Iraq and Afghanistan are usually high on heroine, and foot soldiers are often high on amphetamines.

Is there depravity in the West? Of course there is. Depravity is a human ill, not a cultural sickness. Do Muslim terrorists use it as an excuse to attack the West? Of course they do, but that’s all it is; an excuse. The REASON they attack us is that we have not converted, submitted or ceased to exist, and therefore stand in the way of their supremacist delusions.

I write about what I understand best. Russia is a threat, certainly, but Islam is a far greater one. There are not as many Muslims in the US as in the UK, but Islam is a growing threat even there.

You shouldn’t write anything about Russia, Mary. You yanks loiter around the Russian border in Iraq and Ukraine just as these Brits have sex on the beach. You set up a warmongering puppet government in Georgia. You are undermining the integrity of the Russian border. Imagine Russia signed a nuclear pact with Mexico. No, you can’t because you’re a robot without empathy. That’s why Russia needs nukes. Because of people like you, Mary.

I’m pretty sure there are laws in both the US and Great Britain regarding public copulation. But as Oscar Schneegans said. The only difference between western morals and eastern morals is the public display.

What excuse have the Islamists in Thailand who like to behead people on their way to work?

Nov 14, 2008 - 7:26 am 10. fred:

First of all, I write as one who despises Islam, a death cult misnamed as a religion. It’s really an ideology born of Muhammad’s sock puppet deity, but that’s all besides the point. As a Catholic Christian, I have my standards.

When you are in another country you obey its rules and you don’t give the culture and its mores the expression finger. It’s very bad manners. These barbarian hedonists, caught doing the dirty, should have been arrested. They deserved it. I don’t feel sorry for them. What do they expect the people of Dubai to condone? Public orgies on the beach? LMAO! No, these two idiots need to learn a lesson and an example will be set.

But, the scariest thing is, kochevnik comments without noticing that yóu’ve posted about being a Brit, in places that he’s posted in also.

Mary Jackson,

“I’m British. Never mind.”

Even more reason to be wary of NATO. Do you want Russia to cut off your natural gas, Mary? Most Brits naturally understand Russia has a right to exist. Yet you post about two countries, neither of which you seem to know much about. Seems as pajamas has to outsource their journalists. Next will you report about the staged M6 bombings at Charing Cross? Or would that come too close to home? You message is: “In England it’s terrorism, but in Dubai it’s just peachy.”

In reply to Oscar:

I also have heard about the homsexuality that is rampant in Iraq and afganistan. The beastiality was a new one though, but rings true. I have asked about this behavior to some ME’s that I know and they go ballistic and say i am slurring Islam. the hypocracity is amazing. However, another very interesting point was made on an interview on NPR. the interviewee was a palastinian filmaker, and was asked how or why he got into films. his response was that the populations of most ME countries are about 70% illiterate. That is a huge number, and in fact the interviewer was so shocked that she asked for that again. he said its true, and thats why public opinion is so easily swayed in the ME because the average person only hears information from the Imam or watches TV. Its very easy to manipulate a population that way. Sad, but true.

Nov 14, 2008 - 9:17 am 17. cedarford:

The copulating Brits got a fair trial and a just sentence.
But lets just say that many Muslims come into the West and feel no sense that they owe us similar reciprocity. Islam is best understood as a religion whose protective laws are centered around “us Muslims” not universal. Tribal and conquest-based. Thus it is morally wrong and strictly forbidden to rape a Muslim girl, to cheat a Muslim customer.
And it is perfectly OK for Muslim men to seek to “acquire” infidel women for purposes of sex, marriage to get a green card, procreation…because loosing fertile infidel women to Islam weakens the infidel ranks…

But to “surrender” a Muslim women to date an infidel? That is a disgrace, a grave crime against Islam, a family dishonor. If you want to make a Muslim man uncomfortable, a Muslim man you see hitting up natives right and left in the bars and meat racks - ask him if he has a sister or some female Muslims he can bring with him next visit. Tell him just as he likes blondes and hot Latinas, you and your pals love those doe-eyed Middle Easterners and want to “road test a few”. You will politely be told they cannot date outside their religion, or the Muslim male will become more outraged as inquiries come from “unclean” infidels about sullying their female property.

fred,

Why are you lingering in our borders? I have little interest in the West, but Jesuits and repub warmongers seem to have an interest in violating Russian sovereignty and surrounding it. After US proxy warmongering Russians now know that Russia cannot simply remain isolationist, but must actively resist infiltration and American imperialism. But already US encroachment has backfired, although you are last to realize it.

How is your Mexican Catholic takeover of the US Southwest going?

Kochevnik,

Jesuits??!! The Jesuits are a dying order because half of them can’t be bothered to stand up for Catholic truth anytime it disagrees with the editorial position of the New York Times, and the other half agree with the Times.

Anyone claiming the Jesuits are a threat to Russia is simply parroting Russian Orthodox slander and paranoia about Rome dating back to the Czarist era. Next time, please try to keep your anti-Western paranoia at least accurate to within a century. Besides, there’s no point in aiming your fire against the Pope when the Rus will be no more within a century anyway; they are being replaced by Moslems because they no longer believe in anything, and those who do not believe in anything don’t reproduce.

Nov 14, 2008 - 11:18 am 20. kochevnik:

craig,

Russia blends Islam and Judaism quite well. This may be due to the fact we’re not working with Jesuits and Catholics to anhiliate them because they won’t pay tribute to the Bank of England. Muslims actually make relatively good neighbors in proportion. They’re not drinking, they pay their bills, their women aren’t single-mother wenches.

Jesuit-trained Stalin is fresh in our memory.

I am getting some cultural education here. British culture is indeed unique and fascinating- rolling around naked on a public beach in a Muslim country screwing and vomiting on each other and insulting a policeman all at the same time. And Muslims screwing boys and beasts and afterwards cutting kaffirs heads off in the name of Allah with dull knives because they are so offensive, vile and disgusting.

Ain’t multiculturalism just the bomb?

Nov 14, 2008 - 12:08 pm 23. ApplePie:

Funny how muslim taxi drivers won’t pick up a customer with a seeing eye dog - or that the British police outfitted dogs with booties when they are used as sniffer dogs in muslim homes - because dogs are offensive to muslims = dirty.

BUT it is apparently OK for muslim men to have sex with a dog = now where is that stated in the Quran??

Maybe the muslim immigration tsunami that has hit Europe (with the EU’s blessing) is the reason behind the Swedish network of “zoophiles”???

Kochevnik,
Only a moskal’ would be as arrogant, misinformed, and delusional as to post comments such as yours. Is it a mystery why almost every single nation on Russia’s borders despises your rodina, and is either already a NATO member or is practically begging to become one?
A perfect example of the moskal’ mentality: you support independence movements on Georgian territory, but level Grozny and commit genocide when it happens on your own. Your country is rotting from within, for the same reasons that you think makes it strong.

Nov 14, 2008 - 2:27 pm 25. kochevnik:

I take you post to mean that you prefer nations like Georgia and Chechnya with economies based on murder and kidnapping over real countries simply trying to coexist? I am so grateful Russia has nukes and other weapons to defend itself against terrorist scum and aggressive superpowers. Russians don’t need to go on offensive rampages. Russia can defend the motherland that is our birthright.

Russia is 22% Muslim. My Muslim descendant friends are atheists and more upset at these savage acts than your fake, self-interested agenda-riddled motives could ever be. Sorry I fail to please your neofascist thirst for spilling blood. Sorry your beloved Caspian Oil project failed, but you still have the $300billion of Afghan heroin smuggled through the KLA to fund your blackops. Sorry Ukraine and others are rejecting you and your CIA spooks failing once again. Sorry to see your $12trillion Iraq project being handed to Iran. Well, I rescind the last statement. I don’t know why Medvedev allows you so close to the border, frankly. I guess he must find you useful somehow.

fred,

To have evil one must believe in a omnescent superbeing who lives in the sky. You’re rant starts with that premise. I think that’s all that reasoned people need to know about your opinions.

So, the middleaged English schoolmarm who allowed her students to name a teddy bear mohamed in the Sudan, by your reckoning, should have been beaten, raped and then stoned to death. When in Rome do as the Romanians do? Please. The mohamedians and moslemanics of Uba Dabi know very well that western mores do not meet the requirements of the sharia or the dhimma. Tolerance cuts both ways. Unless you feel that we in the west should prosecute all the “innocent moslems” who violate our laws,eg. freeedom of speech with death threats, murder, rape, fraud, Jew hatred, poligamy,child abuse,female genital mutilation,wife beating, forced child mariages, instead of overlooking these petty offences of izlam in our society. Mary Jackson, your sense of outrage is hopelessly misplaced.

kochevnik

“Russia is 22% Muslim.”

and this is not something to boost as a “good point” of your country.

” My Muslim descendant friends are atheists and more upset at these savage acts than your fake”

My 4 best friends come from Rostov-na-donu (2 and one of them is a cossak), saratov and ukraine born settled in St petersburg. Especially the one from Rostov is telling me otherwise. There is a small percentage of nominal muslims that are either converting to other creeds or staying nominal muslim but there are imams that are pushing for the saudi agenda in mosques.

It’s true that one of those imams was murdered (typical russian style) and I do not necessarily consider that a bad thing,

Putin’s pragmatism with respect to the human rights of Russian Muslims detracted not a whit from the festivities in Riyadh, because issues of principle have no place whatever in Middle Eastern politics. “I see in Putin a statesman and a man of peace and fairness,” said King Abdullah to the official Saudi Press Agency before the visit. “That’s why the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia extends a hand of friendship to Russia.”

Loyalties do not extend beyond clan and family, and the rest is a matter of opportunity, guile and maneuver. That is how business is done in that part of the world. You embrace your worst enemy when you are too weak to fight him, and you annihilate him when opportunity presents itself. When you have winnowed his ranks sufficiently to convince him that he is too weak to fight you, you embrace him once again. It is the sort of dirty work to which Americans are unaccustomed, but for which the Russians have had centuries of practice.

It’s too long to copy and paste but if you are interested there is an article on the radicalization of muslims in russia

http://www.islam-watch.org/ExMuslims/Russia-Future-Radical-Muslim-Superpower.htm

“Sorry I fail to please your neofascist thirst for spilling blood. Sorry your beloved Caspian Oil project failed, but you still have the $300billion of Afghan heroin smuggled through the KLA to fund your blackops.”

I don’t know what you mean, since i am not american or english.

“Sorry Ukraine and others are rejecting you and your CIA spooks failing once again.”

I am happy that ukraine is getting along with russia, I consider russia less corrupt than western europe.

I am also saddened about the treatment that russian people receive in baltic countries (I have been there and know all the stuff).

So I stick to what my friends say and I do not believe you. The fact that you claim to descend from muslims (which I would consider an offence) is clouding your judgement.

You are threatened by muslims exactly like the rest of the world, the only difference is that being russia a totally politically uncorrect country, you know how to deal and get rid of your cancer inside, but not if this cancer is half of the population (as recent projections say)

I think you’re missing the point.

Nov 15, 2008 - 10:49 am 35. fred:

Hey, jonesy, I’m not defending Islam or Sharia Law. I think I made my point cogently. When you are in a foreign country you have to obey the rules. You can’t behave like some college kids who think that laws are meant to be broken and you obey only those laws YOU think are legitimate. Grow up, people.

I don’t agree with ANYTHING Islamic. You can accuse me of being an islamophobe, but at least I can defend my aversion towards Islam based upon THEIR scriptures (Qur’an), and traditions (ahadith).

It’s not my business if two rustics want to fornicate on a beach somewhere and behave like rutting high school or college students. But, there are laws in other countries. They may not be OUR laws, but who the hell are we to tell those countries that we will obey only those laws of theirs that are least inconvenient to us?

If you don’t agree with the laws of other countries, Brit twits, THEN DON’T GO THERE! No one is compelling you to travel to Dubai, or some other Islamic sh*thole. Personally, I would never travel to an Islamic country if I didn’t have to, because I do not like Islam and I see it as a death cult. But if, for business, I did have to go to Dubai or Qatar I would make sure I obeyed the laws and was on my best behavior. Why? Because I’m not a barbarian and I believe in representing my country well abroad. And as a Roman Catholic Christian there are standards I am supposed to live up to.

Kothevnik.

Apparently something like 0 to 1 percent of Russians understand this, you included. It’s about being a democracy or not being a democracy. Russia is no longer a democracy. And the tragedy is that Russians don’t know the difference. Russians in general has no clue, what the benefits of a democracy is. Therefore you and your country is doomed. You can blame it on US foreign policy as much as you like and it’s not going to save you. For now, since Russia is no longer a democracy, it has become an enemy. And enemies are dealt with in one way and one way only - exercise of raw power. No one knows that better than your hero and dictator Putin. Get used to it. Russians had a chance through elections of solidifying their country as a democracy and the Russians chose not too. You made your own bed. Russians haven’t noticed and don’t care that free speech has bin shut down. They don’t know the difference and they don’t, know what the benefits of free speech is. It’ really just tragic. You don’t know it, you don’t understand, you don’t care and you are doomed to a 100 years of darkness.

Nov 16, 2008 - 7:06 am 39. L Raj:

If muslims insist on wearing their burkhas in London, why can’t the British wear their bikinis in Dubai ?

They insist on having mosques in any western city of their choice, but wont allow a church or a temple in any middle eastern country.

Muslims always want to have it both ways - they want people to respect “their rights” but dislike respecting the rights of others.

The word “hypocrisy” comes to mind….

39. L Raj: Good point…that bother’s me too. But we do have freedom of religion in our country and they don’t. Tolerance does not equal acceptance.

Nov 16, 2008 - 8:41 pm 41. David H:

Re 32. certain Imams will use this as an example to paint the Kuffir in an even worse light, I have seen them accusing Western Europeans of rampant affairs, homosexuality and beastality to show the moral decadence of the West so that they can build up the hatred and dis-respect to the West in general.

So something like this does not help in the collision between the West and Islam if we want to keep it relatively peaceful, though I believe it is not possible due to the basic hate in the Quran and the ahadiths I hope to be surprised…

Nov 18, 2008 - 1:14 am 42. Kashif Saeed:

My point of view is that every country has its own rules regulations and culture. So every one even foreigner has to obey these rules. We can do every thing in our home. But outside our home we have to follow rules& regulations of that place. Islam is the most complete religion of the world. I challenge any one if they want to know any fact about islam. They study Quran to know facts about religion rather seeing what Muslims are. Even Bible has stirctly restrict woman to adopt modesty in their behaviour and dress. If christian are not following it si their fault not fault of religion. So conclusion is to research on religion then decided which is right or wrong.
