How is Sex-Ed done in Islam?

[Dr. Zaus]

To be fair, it's quite possible that 'sexual immorality' refers less to sex outside of marriage and more to things like masturbation. But in that case, we're even more screwed than I thought 🙂

Actually the english translation moved the word "porneia" (root of pornography) into sexual immorality; though technically what it referred to was "selling off" of sexual purity: being a pimp, prostitute, or the like.

Similarly the english translation moved the word "pharmakeia" (root of pharmacy) into witch craft; though technically that it referred to was "drug-related sorcery": the ancient practice of taking deadly nightshade in order to trip balls.

So going back to the greek you have at once a much more conservative, and a much more liberal, potential reading of the material. Personally I think it's more instructive to look into the "kingdom" part of the kingdom of God.

I say this because if Paul intended to indicate salvation he could have easily referred to "sótéria" translated "salvation, but which technically referred to "self-actualization" as there was already a word "soter" which referred to "one who saves": which Plato quoted Socrates as saying "one who is a philosopher".

The english translation moved the word "basileia" (no english root) into Kingdom (of God); though technically that referred to "a total dictator ship over slaves": which is to say weather or not you have perfect submission to Jesus.


The point being that, in no case, does failure to be part of the Kingdom of God indicate that you will "burn in hell for all eternity." But rather that, if you are a Christian, you've got some growing up to do.

That's really interesting, thanks. Translating the Bible into English while remaining true to the meaning and nuance of the original source material must be one heck of a challenge

I read some of this thread and a little of the video but ok...I give up. WTF does Islam teach about sex ed? Cause I was under the assumption that was what the thread is about.

...that's it's okay with as many slaves as you capture. And it's okay (after one period) if she was married when captured, because your capturing her nullifies the marriage. Yay islam.

Sex education in islam cannot be any worse than sex education in christian nations. In (first world) christian nations, sex education is handled by Disney. Just go to youtube and type in "disney sex". It is amazing how so much hate and criticism is directed towards everything middle east, yet you have stuff like this being subsidized to the tune of billions, nay, trillions of dollars. What has the power to distort minds to such an incredible degree?

The point was that the Koran is factually wrong about reproduction and disagreeing with the koran is a beheading offense.
