Religions

To men who pursue optimal sex, pure Christianity is more of an obstacle than pure Islam. The more pious one is in Christianity, the more restricted are one’s sexual options. For really pious Catholics, the proper path is priesthood, and that means that all sex is forbidden.
Islam is, in fact, sexually more permissive than Christianity. Just don’t judge sexual permissiveness by comparing how apologetic a society is with respect to typical modern US boyfriend / girlfriend relationships.
While in the Christian afterlife, we are all asexual, the opposite is the case in the Islam heaven. Not only are Muslim martyrs promised a paradise with plenty of young, sexually willing playmates. What they actually get is virgins that never had other men, and which they don’t have to share with other men.
Even the most pious men in Islam not only are allowed to have sex, families, and offspring. They don’t have to, but if they want, they can have many wives. Throughout history, Muslim religious and worldly leaders often had their harems. Popes, by contrast, had to do their philandering in secrecy.
But if one were forced to live in the Middle Ages, and would be equipped with enough intelligence to achieve some wealth, and a secure social position, I’d pray to be placed in the Muslim, rather then the Christian world.
Even nowadays, and under certain circumstances, Muslim societies may be a better option than Christian ones (if simply for the fact that they are more immune to US cultural exports).
Outside the Old World (which is Europe), and outside the New World (which is the Americas), there still is the Third World, which, on the one side, is determined by poverty, corruption, and mega cities, and on the other side by archaic fantasy-inspired alternatives to the modern world, as they could only blossom in the third millennium in an under-policed environment.

Modern American Christians believe that if they are good Christians, then Jesus Christ will help them with all everyday problems. Thanks to Jesus Christ, they can solve their drinking problem. If they have faith in Jesus, they will be successful in business. Jesus Christ will also help them to stay in control of their wives and children (“a family that prays together, stays together”).
For American Christian fundamentalists, Jesus Christ is a very practical solution, an all-round craftsman whom to engage for absolutely every problem.
Fundamentalist Islam is different. Just as early Christians did, fundamentalist Muslims strongly believe that it’s not the current, earthly life that counts. The good life comes after we have died, especially for those who have died as martyrs in the fight against the enemies of Islam.
At the moment they die, for example in a suicide blast, they will enter paradise. And the hallmark of the Islamic paradise is that a man will enjoy an endless stream of beautiful virgins to play with at his heart’s desire.
No wonder that with such a belief, young men in the prime of their procreative capabilities queue up to become suicide bombers. If their beliefs are strong enough, they’ll pull the trigger with a joyful heart. Nothing to be afraid about. Now starts the orgy they have been longing for.
The US policies of the new millennium wrongly assume that allowing Muslims to set up Islamic societies will calm down extremism. But the more pious an Islamic society, and the more sexual access is restricted, the greater the number of young men who will be eager to sacrifice their earthly lives in order to enjoy the promiscuous paradise promised in the Islamic scriptures to all Muslim martyrs. Remember that most of the 9/11 terrorists came from a strict Islamic country, Saudi Arabia, while there were none from a liberal Islamic country, such as Turkey or Indonesia.
