Islamic First Sex Experience

    I blogged about Ayaan Ali's Islamic sexual mutilation yesterday. What follows is her first sexual intercourse. It is with a man, her cousin, she has just married earlier in the evening. Women shouldn't have to live this way. What was left of her genitals was sewned up and scar tissue  formed giving her a macabre chasitity belt. This is what her husband would encounter: "It wasn't rape. I wanted to have sex with Mahmud - just not this way. He gasped and shoved and sweated with the effort of forcing open my scar. It was horribly painful and took so long. I gritted my teeth and endured the pain until I became numb. Afterward Mahmud fell heavily asleep, and I went and washed again in the hideous bathroom. In every respect my wedding night had turned out exactly as Jawahir had described hers, a year before in Kenya."
    The next day Mahmud left Somalia for Russia to study thanks to a prestigious award. Ali went home where she washed with disinfectant the cuts she suffered from the penetration. Her scar hurt so much she could barely stand, and she never wanted to see her husband again. After a few days, she was able to get up and walk, although the cuts still hurt. This is from Ali's book, Infidel, page 143.
    Besides being a book Islamic men could read to make sure they never allowed the sexual mutilation of their daughters, it is a slice of Islam life from the viewpoint of women that should be very valuable for Western young women thinking of going to the caliphate to read. Don't go. Also, Westerners are having a lot of trouble getting back home after they slip out of the Caliphate. Everyone is afraid they are terrorists and unsafe to have back home. Don't give up on the Western world easily, it's not approaching utopia, but it's the best. At the very least, know as fully as is reasonable what you're thinking of getting into and compare it to the Western world.
