This is how people have thought all over the world for as long as humanity existed, and only changed in the western culture starting the 20th century (especially after the Hippies but hey that's a secret shhh...).

@ Elvin
The number of books translated in a year only in Spain surpasses all Arabic speaking nations translate in 50. Not to mention, most of the countries directly ban things or mistranslate them on purpose if they conflict with Islamic tradition anyway. The universities, even such as EL-Ezher are not secular, it is forbidden to come up with information that contradict with the teachings of Quran. In these last years since Islamists are in control, our 3 universities that were in top 500 internationally are no more in the top 500, more than half of the academics who have international credibility ran abroad saying universities are no longer fit to produce scientific information in Turkey, we now have professors who suggest prophet Noah maye have had cell phone technology! It is like some plauge of anti-analyitical thinking. So, yes, the pool of information they dip in is extremely small and radically different. Debating any social/anthropological fact, you will mostly see they speak from a completely different databank cultivated in an aquarium of fantasy, propaganda and bad logic.

The level of crap information people are spoonfed in Africa must be significantly  worse though. Humanity exists for around 300.000 frigging years, has abstraction capabilities for 75.000. It went through so many variations of cultures and mating customs, it is beyond count. There is no singular, unified custom of relations before modern West. And even anthropologists that say monogamy is much more RECENT than we thought it was, date back its first examples to at least 10.000 years ago.

And needless to say, if you think monogamy is superficial, that may be, but then you’d have to give a free pass to both parties, not just men. That is not “siding with women,” it is only being FAIR. Such a corruptive doctrine, still existing and intoxicating people’s mentality like this...

While there is certainly a symbolic truth behind this statistics, is not properly formulated: translated in spanish, not in Spain. Of we know that there are 400 million spanish speaking people around the world. Just to clarify, not that I think that muslims got any civilized lately, but you were too harsh.

I can go and check the book, I specifically remember it as “in Spain.” I know it’s a shocking ratio.

Edit:
Actually, turns out I was even optimistic, not harsh. The actual quote from Bernard Lewis is this, I will be translating it back to English since I have the Turkish version:

"The Arab World translates 330 books a year, this number is 1/3 of Greece. Since the time of Caliph Memun (9th Century), the number of books that were translated in total is 100.000 and this equals to one year of production in Spain"

Source: Bernard Lewis, the Crisis of Islam, page 46 in Turkish edition.

The 50 years was stuck in my head from another comparison but the sentence is technically still true.

Hahaha for the record, my sources on what I am saying are Stendhal and Freud, who are western psychologists. Even though books might not be translated en masse in the Arab world, I make up for it by speaking English, French, Italian and Spanish at expert level, German at middle level and even Macedonian at start level.

Thus, I can read books if that is the element some completely biaised weirdo based his anti-argumentation on. I wonder how someone can take an hour to write a pave long post only to vomit his hatred on a whole part of the world with such a violence not wanting to take a effing hint that I am constantly refusing to read his posts for I know them being sophistically elaborated BS, I only understand it as the proof of that massive bias.

Elvin, I’ve got a question for you. We’ve had the occasion to chat by the past so from your point of you, do you think I am an idiot?

(Don’t say yes or I’m screwed dude...)

Then you misinterpret both of them. I mentioned you might be referring to Freud already, because it is very easy to read how blatantly you misinterpret him. According to Freud the engine of love is sex, so sex and love can not be mutually exclusive for men by default. And most of his analysis on women psyche are extremely representitive of Victorian Age values and very outdated to say the least,  just like you he lived in an environment where female sexuality was a taboo, so his observations were not of “bare human nature” but periodical.

Btw, you dont have to be an idiot to be indoctrinated. The problem is, you HAVE TO defend one-sided polygamy no matter what, because your indoctrination doesnt allow you to see it as an unjust custom. So you come up with absurd historical conclusions that make everyone go “WTF???” I dont go WTF, since I know “this part” of the world better and I know how Muslims try to rationalize which custom by what kind of logic. I discussed with hundreds of them. I dont post from Denmark, you know. What you percieve as bias is you being unaware of how biased your own indoctrination is and how it affects your reasoning no matter how many languages you speak. Looking at how you fail at every subject from Agape to Libido, and your accuracy in English, it is hard to imagine you as the linguist expert you dream you are though.

I dont care if you read these or not, here is not your message box, I write to every participant of the forum, not specifically to you. (It’s obvious by your answers you do read but you can pretend not to, lol). When you make such absurd claims, I will adress them because they are out in the open and they just need to be called for what they are. It roughly takes about 10 minutes anyway. I multipost in a few platforms at once, so it may seem like it takes longer.

I must admit I have read your last post.

Know that I am fluent enough in English to laugh out loud when you call imams child ‘rapers’ when you should say child ‘rapists’. That alone let’s me know how much English you speak so you have no linguistic lessons to give me. I am also graduated from a British university, in case you want to call the brainwash argument again.

The only bias lies with your hatred of Islam, and the funniest thing about you is that were you born 200 years ago, you would have been a fervent defender of Islam. You’re the produce of the Kemalist abomination and your essentialist approach is like the content of your post, massively biased BS. Essentialism is flawed and you are the perfect example of that, you library clown.

Lol, I am not even a Kemalist, yet I’m sure we’d be in a much darker place without him now just like.... any one of the Islamic theocracies in the region which are talking on and on about the need for secularization like he did 90 years ago.

Of course, as someone who’s trying to prove Allah by quantum mysticism posts which he thinks of as quantum physics posts or someone who talks about lynching people on the street because of their country of origin or someone linking moral corruption to doctors and nurses seeing naked people in hospitals, I’m sure you aced that British education. Is that where they thought you to use the phrase “ the so-called western civilization?” Must be tough to be sent away to barbaric lands for higher education, whose brilliant idea was that?

Essentialism... Your islam is the worst kind of essentialism by its very core, almost half the book is hate speech against infidels, mushriks, even believers who are soft on infidels... and you accuse other people of essantialism against it, oh the irony...

Your ignorance of religion and history is blowing me. Literally. Before you make false accusations against religions go document yourself a minimum. You should tell Yale they are making terrible historical errors by teaching Islam the way they do, because they are far from what you constantly stutter. It makes me literally laugh when you are still into the ‘oh your book commands to slaughter’ nonsense or even propaganda while we’re at it, since false accusations have become a common tool of repartee I see.

I persist and I sign you are the product of Kemalism with 0% objectivity and around as much free will. The archetype of the modern Turkish who walks this earth as a European wannabe.

Were you more than that, you would have read Stendhal and understood what I was saying in the first page of this thread.

But isn’t this your technique after all? 1% of admitted knowledge and 99% of extrapolation from incomplete data, you’re having it like a lot of historians have it. History is not a science it is a mix of facts and ideology, that is settled. The problem starts when there are too few facts and way too much ideology, it turns history to propaganda like wine turns to vinaigre.

This is basically the summary of your contribution to this forum. You will understand why I put you in ignore mode as there is absolutely, and I weigh my words no credit to give to you in most topics you might ever discuss.

@Elvin: you Chinese.*

First of all, I did read Stendhal, stop making the assumption that your interpretations of Stendhal or Freud are spot on, they are “not even wrong” level interpretations.

Second of all, it is quite weird for you to assume I know Islam only from books or history (I also know it from those, you thought a hadith was a pirate chant ffs, dont try to lecture me on textbook knowledge, when I linked you verses you denied the existence of, you switched to “those shouldnt be read literally.”) I live in a Muslim populated country, governed by Islamist politicians for 16 years. But let us say, I do have prejudice, now ask yourself this, let us take 10.000 random people, Europeans, Japanese, Yezidis, Hindus, Chinese, even ethnically muslim non-religious people such as myself. Let us tell them they must wish one religion away from the world, which religion would the extreme majority pick? We both know the answer to that, dont we? Why are there hundreds of books about the crisis of Islamic world, why is there a word called Islamophobia and yet, not Buddismophobia? Is all the world full of meaningless prejudice or is it more likely that it is you who is not objective about something you admitedly believe with unquestioning faith.

And, btw, you ignore me because you snapped on the Israel debate when you had no reasonable answer to give me. Before that, you even used to post personal support messages to my box all the time, so really, stop the desperate name calling. I can be much more imaginative with personal attacks if I bother to, it’s just not worth my time. You post some crazy hypothesis on a forum, people will refute it, get used to it.
