Over the harangue of Tariq Jameel at 'behaya' women, let me share one foundational myth about sex, women and desire of the Mullahs' discourse as well as the operating principle of the Tablighi Jumaat:

The myth goes as when God created Aqal (reason) he divided it into 10 parts.

He gave 9 parts to men and 1 part to women. But when God created 10 equal parts of 'Shahwat' (sexual desire), he gave 9 parts to women and 1 part to men. So, women aren't created for thinking. They are created to desire sex, but then God wrapped them in Haya, so women

can't express that desire openly. Therefore, men wanting abundance of sex is to fulfill the 'natural purpose' of women which is Sawaab.

See, the sexual frustration and desire of men finds its displaced projection over the bodies and nature of women; and men are portrayed as

instruments to meet the order of nature. So simple and nice is it, "women can't think and they are here for sex so our fantasies are calling of nature." Combine this with another fantassy of Tabligh and religious discourse about heaven: unlimited sexual prowess of men.

I remember a Tablighi in his late 50s recounting tale of sexual conquests in paradise (and that too in Ramzan in a mosque) with shine in his eyes: Men would be able to do it 70 times. Smiling at us the young around him: Men wouldn't be weak like we are today. They will be like a

river flowing with a drop not making any difference. These men not only fantasize about sex, they are also insecure and in anxiety about Mardana Kamzuri (which when investigated turns out to be fear of immature ejaculation and not being able to do it for the second time).

The ghastly projection of Hoors (read women's) body parts (years of travel between women thighs) is infact projection of the male sexual organ and the sexual prowess.

They live in fantasies, insecurity and obscenity and dare to make women responsible for 'behayai'. Hypocrites!
