Sexuality in Islam vrs. Secular Christianity: At the MCC Islam course, I broached my hypothesis that the “west” criminalizes male sexuality while the east (Islam) criminalized female sexuality. It is apparent in dress. The man’s business suit is analogous to the women’s burqa. Whereas the female in the west parades its sexuality in every venue, the women in the east veil their bodies, if, as I think a result of perhaps a cause of the current transformation of power from men to women. Men are encouraged to become more passive; women more “assertive”.
