Does Islam Solve Mans Latent desire for more Partners ?

A man by his very nature desires variety.  He may live with suppression of this desire for decades, conditioned by religion and mores, but there is no doubt given a degree of latitude most men dream of another partner.

One Religion has recognized this physiological need for another partner and that is Islam. The reasons for polygamy in Islam and its acceptance by the clergy are different, but the net effect is that it caters to a sexual release of a man with another partner in the ambit of marriage. Islam permits up to 4 wives and divorce is much simpler. This does not mean that all Muslim men are polygamous and have more than one wife. Economic reasons will again dominate and in India despite all talk by vested interests the average Muslim has one wife. However the rich do exercise their prerogative and will have more than one wife. This privilege is only for the male and women are excluded.

One can say that in theory a man by being allowed to have 4 wives has an outlet for a relationship with another woman and this is sanctified by canonical law. In a way, it is an acceptance of a basic urge of man for sex with another partner. 

Polygamy is an outdated concept, but it served a purpose. With the advancement in life in all spheres, one can say that polygamy has gone, but the desire of man for another sexual partner has not gone. This goes on and is a facet of everyday life all over the world.

One aspect that needs a mention is the de facto presence of polygamy in the Christian nations. In 1862 the US Congress passed a law banning polygamy. The worst affected was the Mormon Church, which believed in polygamy. Over the decades the men in the west have however got around the law passed by Congress. Men like Donald Trump and Larry King, divorce older women and marry a younger woman.  They thus extend the fertility period of their lives, something which polygamy would have done. It should also be noted that there is very little reverse traffic and all circumnavigation of the law of monogamy is mostly by men.

SEX AND ABDUCTION CRIMES ARE NOT GETTING SOLVED IN USA

America was at one time supposed to be the land of milk and honey and every educated Indian wanted to go to the "new world" and settle there. This has not changed, but the new lot is a bit wary of the prevalence of crime particularly with regard to abductions, kidnappings for sex which now dominate the scene. The worst part of this entire scene is that tens of such crimes go undetected, which is a sad commentary on the efficacy of the FBI and the local US police. It is unfortunate that the FBI which is the nodal agency for an interstate crime like kidnapping and abduction is unable to trace girl victims for years. One wonders as to how an agency with the latest gadgetry is unable to detect such crimes. One could perhaps accept this with a pinch of salt, but the fact that so many girls are missing for years is, to say the least preposterous.

A look at some of the crimes makes sad reading. There was the case of a man, a Hispanic who kidnapped 3 girls and kept them in a small dungeon under his house. The girls were kept secluded as they were used to pleasure the man and he also fathered a child from one of them. The worst thing was that the girls have been kept in a house a little distance from where they were abducted. Only after the passing of a few years one of the girls could escape from the underground chamber and alert the police, who raided the house and arrested the man. What a travesty of the police word, as such an elite force could not discover the girls who were just a few hundred yards from where they were kidnapped. The police have a lot to answer, but in America, nobody is asking any questions of the police and I don't find any NGO or other group posting any questions to the police. This is not an isolated incident, but there are tens of such cases.

Maid- Master Relationship in India:

Maid-master sexual relationship 

 The maid –master sexual relation has its genesis in Victorian England where there are umpteen tales of Victorian maid’s sleeping with the master.  The same thing translated to India, but here it was a necessity, as well as lonely English men in far-off plantations and distant jungles, had nothing to do and it was inevitable that they picked up sexual liaisons with maids. It was a need and I wonder if anything could have stopped it. Along with the maid whiskey was also an accompaniment and it added to the exotic scenario.

Last word

 What did the maids think of such sexual liaisons? this is brought out in the movie " Before the rains "starring Nandita Das and Rahul Bose. Nandita Das plays the role of the maid who loves an English Sahib in South India. The fact is the maids loved it and it was a competition that would sleep with the master. To be undressed by the master was a status symbol. This is what one can glean from the literature of that period. Never the less the maid sahib relation is part of English folklore and along with other British gifts this also has to be accepted and what of Indians? I think it’s a lot more common in India after the English left than people know or dare to acknowledge. In the cantonments, I have come across tens of such relationships.  

Cassius Clay Converted to Islam

Cassius Clay was the world heavyweight boxing champion when he was drafted to serve in Vietnam with the US Army. At that time military service was compulsory in the USA and everybody had to spend time in the army. This was called the draft.

Clay refused to be drafted to go to Vietnam and as a punishment, his boxing title was taken from him. This embittered him and he felt the white race was always treating the negroid race in a demeaning manner. In addition, he wanted to cock a fist at the white racial supremacists. Clay in his childhood had grown up in an era of racial segregation and this had told on his psyche. Moreover, he felt the church had done nothing for the blacks and he thought it best to convert to Islam.

America was shocked when Clay converted to Islam and took the name, Mohammed Ali. From then on he taunted the white race and asked them to put a fighter against him. There is no denying that Ali was a great boxer and he retained his boxing titles on the strength of his ability. In fact, he is the only boxing champion in the world to have won back the heavyweight crown 3 times.

Ali gave up boxing after some time, but he continued to believe in Islam. Many celebrity men like Micheal Jackson also converted to Islam. These conversions are brushed aside by the American government, but the fact is the blacks are disenchanted with the church, which stood as a passive onlooker when racial policies were at their peak.

Migrants and Crimes in Germany

Germany is at the crossroads and Donald Trump can draw satisfaction that his move to limit Muslim migrants is correct. In the German town of Mühlhausen, Germany, 3 Ethiopian asylum seekers, all Muslims, are arrested and face trial for raping a 28-year-old German girl. The details are harrowing as revealed in court. The men, aged between 19 and 29, lured the girl to a secluded spot for their actions. The woman broke down in court when she recounted her ordeal. The court fixed mid-July as the next date for the hearing. The men were charged based on the statement of the girl and

DNA tests confirmed it. They deny the charge, as reported by RT News.

German policy on refugees

Germany has opened its doors to more than a million refugees and Donald Trump has commented against this open-door policy. Many people in Germany are also alarmed at such an influx of refugees.

such an influx of refugees. Independent analysis and media, as well as police, have reported that crime incidences of a sexual nature have been committed after Germany opened its doors to the refugees. In late March an Afghan was arrested for raping and murdering a young medical student.The most famous were the mass rape and molestation of German girls during the New Year celebration in Cologne last year.

Though the vast majority of refugees are peaceful and look only to make a livelihood, yet a few of them who are indoctrinated do commit such crimes. Authorities have to be vigilant and screen such men and deport them.

Desert Blooms in the UAE

The United Arab Emeritus is a glorious place that is not only the most modern place in the world but a treasure house of greenery and flowers replete with ponds and artificial lakes. It's hard to imagine that just about four decades back this entire area which lies on the edge of the great Arabian desert was one vast land of sand dunes, with an occasional oasis. How did this transformation take place? This is a valid question and the secret is the vast wealth amassed with petrodollars by  Abu Dhabi and Dubai as the leaders.

The vision of the ruling clans led by Shiekh Maktoum has been a factor in this development. True, vast areas are still a desert, which has its own beauty but large areas in the UAE have been transformed into "green belts" and the cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi have parks, greenery, gardens, and tree-lined boulevards that are a sight to behold. The temperature still rises to 45-50 degrees in summer, but the greenery has made the cities livable and a delight for the visitor, tourist, and the workforce.

Abu Dhabi has created a veritable green belt at Alain and it also houses the zoo with the most exotic animals anywhere in the world. More on that later. the capital Abu Dhabi has vast gardens and lakes- artificial of course, but its ingenuity at its best.

How did they do it? The workforce came from India and Pakistan and then came the horticulturists who imported the soil in vast ship holds from Pakistan Punjab and even trees were lifted from Punjab in Pakistan and planted. Special desalination plants to filter sea-water and make it potable were set up and now the UAE which has a long coastline has no shortage of water. The result? greenery all around.

 

The Falcon: Most Beloved Bird IN UAE

The Falcon is a majestic bird. It is from the eagle family but is more intelligent and swifter. It can soar to a height of three to four thousand feet and is a carnivorous bird that eyes its prey from a great height and then swoops down on the hapless victim. It has a telescopic sight and can see from great heights even a small animal like a baby hare. The falcon is a prized possession and rich sheiks keep many of them as pets. The falcon cannot however be completely domesticated and given an option will fly away. Most Sheiks will tie one leg of the bird with a small gilded chin toa post or a bar.

will tie one leg of the falcon to a small stake that restrict the bird from flying away.

Many falcons are displayed in carnivals and festivals. They are great fun and great memorabilia for a tourist to photograph him with the falcon on his arm. One should however be careful to cover one's arm with a protective lining or otherwise, the talons of the bird can sink into the skin. It could lead to an injury.

I had an opportunity to visit many exhibitions and watching the falcon carefully. I have got at least a dozen photos of which one is published along with this post. The falcon is a hunting bird and lives up to its name. Many fighter squadrons name themselves as "Falcons". The UAE is the home of the falcon and the bird is greatly prized. Owning a few falcons adds to the stature of the locals.
