#1 And remember...when inbreeding, make sure you at least think it's virgin.

#2 There you go, Arab culture rocketing BACK to the 14th century. "My cousin asked to marry me believing I’m a virgin." Should have added: "But he forgot about my three brothers."

If Allan had not wanted Moslem girls to do this, then he wouldn't have created a universe with biodegradable suture clips.

#4 In Italy, the morning after the big event, the sheets were hung out the bedroom window to display evidence of the initial swordplay. Should the happy couple have consummated their love prior to the wedding day, a cruet of sheep’s blood was secreted in the night stand, then applied to the sheets prior to the unveiling.

See there...sheep do have their place in Allan's wonderland of love.

#5 Remember, it was we filthy kuffars who devised biodegradable suture clips. Does that make us facilitators?

#6 Arkansas farmers have been using biodegradable suture clips on sheep, for years. Ever heard of "sheep stump training."

#7 what do they do to the woman if she's found out? what do they do to the doctor who performs the procedure?

I shudder to think.

#8 I see a market for the Arab equivalent of "Clean Urine"; "Virgin Blood", now in 6 packs.

#10 The irony being that about 1 in 4 women don't bleed enough for it to show, externally, when they lose their virginity. Personally, I think that fair is fair: if he wants to see her blood on his wedding night, he should be prepared to see his own. That should make him twice as happy.

#12 A unique opportunity. I could provide a virginal close inspections servic, before surgery, that is.

#15 I used to work for a plastic surgeon and we got many calls from young Muslim women who were going "back home" for marriage and needed to have their hymens reconstructed...unfortunately we couldn't help them.

#16 The Japanese have been doing these surgeries for over 40 years. An important face-saving operation I'm told.

#17 There was a Swiss clinic that also has/had been doing a procedure, where an artificial hymen was 'installed'.

"Explains some of the problems in the mid-East."

Actually...it doesn't. This LINK to an article on Straight Dope tends to dismiss the myth vis-a-vis first cousins marrying.

#27 That link may dismiss it, Mr. Peabody, but there was a fascinating article in the Arab News (Saudi Arabia) about the high level of birth defects amongst the natives for exactly that reason. Granted, the article was complaining about the difficulties in marrying off the deficient offspring, but it spoke of mental retardation, insanity and congenital diseases. Theoretically, cousin-marriage should lead to as many geniuses as defectives, but that doesn't seem to be happening over there.

#28 I saw the parading of the sheet in the late '70s while a Peace Corps Vol in Morocco. The town was rural. I told some city Moroccans about what had taken place and they derided the practice in strong terms. "They should be worrying about getting their kids in school" or the equivalent.

Moroccan marriage proposal:

M: Will you marry me?
F: Yes.
M: Are you a virgin?
F: Yes. (Then Latifa makes an appointment with
the suture specialists)

Other men don't ask the second question as they're not interested or THEY have been the perpetrator. Chicken blood was used in case girl is not virgin.

#29  TW: I have read the article you speak of. The article I referenced stated clearly that "If the pool's pretty clean..." there shouldn't be a problem, generally.

Now, I would suspect that the Arab gene pool is anything but "clean", and, I would also suspect that there has been a high incidence of incest over the generations.

Both Father/Daughter, and, Brother/Sister! Now, compound that over a few hundred generations and they are starting to reap the fruit of the poisoned seeds they have been planting (no pun intended).

"I saw the parading of the sheet in the late '70s while a Peace Corps Vol in Morocco."

My wife, (an Indian National) informs that this is still quite common today in rural India, even when everyone knows that the woman is NOT a virgin.

Odd.

#31 There is a kind of goth quality to all the Islamo-Neandro-sexual stuff. Shapeless, morose clothing hiding as much of the body as possible; overdone seriousness; flesh being cut, sliced off, pierced, sutured...next thing you know, it will be branded nipples.

#32 There was a belief that only virgins could see/capture unicorns. Must be that is why we don't have unicorns today.

Is the 72 virgin thing in the Koran?

Ouch! About the virginity transformation.
