ISLAM: A SEX POSITIVE RELIGION
Islam could be classed as a sex-positive religion.
Though it held many positions in common with
Judaism and Christianity, and many characters in
the Bible appear in the Koran, Islamic laws relating
to marriage, divorce, fornication, and other aspects
of sexual behavior are derived more from pre-Islamic
Arabic attitudes than from the Judeo-Christian
tradition. Moreover, the Greek ascetic attitudes
about sex were at first not particualrly strong in
Islam, although they later had some effect.
The key to Islamic outlooks on sex, as on so many
other things, is the teachings of the Prophet
Muhammed, who, true to the Arabic tradition,
regarded sex as a good rather than an evil aspect
of life. This still holds true today.
H. R. P. Dickson, a recorder of Arab customs
and mores, reported in the 1930s that it was
no exageration to say that sexual intercourse
is loved by the ordinary Arab above all pleasures
in the world. It is the one great pleasure common
to rich and poor alike, and the one moment of
forgetfulness in his daily round of troubles that
Badawin or townsmen can enjoy. Men and women
equally love the act, which is said to keep men
young, "just like riding a mare."
In this attitude the Arabs were simply reflecting
the teachings of Muhammed.
A nineteenth-century Muslim writer summarized
the Islamic attitudes.
Coition is one of the causes of the preservation of
health. Let him among you who is in a condition for
having sufficient copulation marry: marriage gives
moderation of the gaze and more obligatorily turns
one away from incest and adultery.
Before Muhammed, The Arabs were a male-centered
tribal people pacticing polygamy, circumcision, and
occasional infanticide, whose customs and gods were
being undermined by outside forces, Including
Christianity and Judaism. Though the Prophet modified,
changed, abolished, and reformed many traditional
Arabic customs and beliefs, the Muslim Arabs
remained a male-centered, polygamous society in which
women were regarded as inferior to men. Muhammed,
regarded by Islam as the last and greatest of the
prophets of Allah, was born in Mecca about 570 A.D.
and died there in 632 A.D. [...]

The H.E.S.S. Telescope system, a new scout to the
high-energy universe, will be opened on
September 28, 2004 in the vicinity of
the Gamsberg/Namibia
http://www.physorg.com/search/telescope
A new system of large telescopes, dedicated to the
search of the sources of high energetic particles with
energies of more than 100 GeV, like supernova
remnants and other exotic objects, will be opened on
September 28, 2004 by the prime minister of the
Republic of Namibia, Dr. Theo-Ben Gurirab. Numerous
high-ranking guests from Namibia, South Africa,
France and Germany will attend the ceremony on the
Farm Goellschau in Namibia. The international project,
which is coordinated by the Max Planck Institute for
Nuclear Physics, is based on technologies from
particle physics. It provides a powerful instrument
for the young research field of TeV-astronomy,
and may for the first time allow the detection of
"dark matter" in the universe. The inauguration of the
four telescopes marks the completion of the
installation of the first phase of H.E.S.S.
The telescope system can start its work for the
benefit of the worldwide astronomical community.
