Kinky Kompound Kapers!

Defaming Mormons is almost as much fun as reviling Born-Again Christians if you have one of those mind-numbingly dull jobs writing for a major newspaper. Not that there's much difference between the two in the Ivy League educated mind, where any religion, even New Age Idiocies like Wiccan are looked at with sneering contempt. These guys are too busy in their spare time painting their house green to reflect harmful Global Warming-causing cosmic rays to wallow in irrational belief systems. But nothing brightens a dull day at The Daily Blab like a good old wacky-religious-cult-enslaves-with-kinky-and-brutal-fury story. They can fulminate against these Mormon (make sure that word gets used alot so that America will be alerted to the enemy within) polygamists who kept their women permanently locked inside their compound where they were reduced to total subservience, brainwashed by a weird and brutal dogma of patriarchism and then traded like livestock among their close male relatives. Lurid tales of fiftyish men and just-nubile women can be flaunted to show the evils of Mormonism. Imagine the mental state people who live like that are probably in. We should condemn any religion where this type of arrangement is common, shouldnt we? Even if it encompasses a billion people and a large chunk of the world's known oil reserves, right? Because this is the type of society that breeds terrorists. Osama Bin Laden, for example, was one of dozens of children from young wives of a rich merchant. In Britain the incidence of congenital birth defects, the frequency of which is increased greatly by inbreeding, is astronomically higher in the Muslim community where just-pubescent girls are often given in marriage to much-older male relatives. The Houston compound wouldnt have raised a stir in Riyadh or in rural villages from Morocco to Pakistan, its a totally acceptable life-style. These are countries where female circumcision is accepted and common, honor killings expected of the family. Traditional folks. Not all Muslims do any of this (none of the modern cosmopolitan ones do), or live this way but a much higher proportion of Muslims do than Mormons so it must be okay to generalize like the New York Times does to Mormons. Anyway, the Mormon church has renounced polygamy and Islam isnt even thinking of any step toward female equality, the idea is blasphemy. The 60 year old Prophet's eleventh wife was nine years old.
So there next time the media get their hands on some fringe Christian group and get one of these sneering laugh-fests going remember that there are certainly Islamic compounds in this country these geniuses could be snooping into which have practices every bit as brutal as the ones in Houston. We'll be waiting, guys!
