They are lost

Thanks Keira for all your compliments... I'm glad you enjoy and find use in my posts :-)

"How can they still think that they have a spot in heaven?"

Now that's a golden question... I still haven't fully figured it all out, but the conclusion that I've reached thus far is that they're lost. I haven't read the Quran so I can't add much in-depth research, but i can see how a lot of these men have grown up to view women as livestock. Their own women are at least glorified, high class slaves. Now imagine how they view us... LOL.

Women are NOT in control... they are well kept prizes, and a lot of (mainly passive or codependent) women are into that. Your husband is allegedly your key to paradise... yes he'll feed and clothe you... but you basically can't ever refuse his wishes. So these little kings grow up thinking they are IT in block capitals, and this sense of entitlement leads them to believe they can do no wrong.

You simply can't physically or mentally destroy another person and feel justified before god... it's mental illness... it's narcissism. The culture is very narcissistic. Don't criticise, don't question. And I'll treat you like garbage behind closed doors, but you'd better have a smile on your face in public (not too much in case men get ideas). And I'll shower 10 times a day but you'd better like dirty and forbidden sexual acts that aren't even permitted.

The way jihadis went on chopping heads off and raping slave girls... and they call themselves martyrs. It does make you wonder. Again, haven't read the Quran so can't say whether it's religious or cultural... would be great if someone could add some input.
