I found this somewhere out there and thought of sharing…
Never mind the question - Mohja Kahf and Asra Q. Nomani are the American Muslim world’s answer to “Sex and the City.”
And if they’re hoping to shock, they just might get their wish.
Today, in the online magazine muslimwakeup.com, the Syrian-born Kahf, a literature professor at the University of Arkansas, launches the mag’s first Islamic sex column, “Sex & the Umma.” (“Umma” means “Muslim community.”)
Her subject: “Do women get to have sex in paradise, too?”
In today’s installment, an Islamic scholar at a New Jersey mosque says dryly: “Any woman who wants such a thing is not likely to make it to paradise.”
I don't know if it's gonna click. To me, it is very hard to imagine sex being a popular open topic of discussion in a conservative society - be it Muslim or Christian.
So, it's an articles based web site with questions and answers on sex from an Islamic perspective?

Roman go jump over a cliff.
Seriously I just think this column idea is so silly.If it was more of a medical type of informative article fine, but this is so ridiculous.
Later on in the column - written in the form of a short story - a group of Muslim women shares their fantasies and frustrations. I mean sheesh.
"We're writing for people who are willing to challenge the status quo and mainstream Muslim thinking," Nomani told me. "We're doing it from an Islamic perspective, but we'd like to have a sense of humor about it."
^ Why not have this 'sex talk' in their livingrooms. They're only writing silly articles, its nothing to do with mainstream Muslim thinking. I mean what do these women hope to accomplish.Its not as if they are planning to write some helpful articles.Just some fanatasy filled bs.
That's exactly how I felt Mehnaz. Uncomfortable. But maybe that is what taboo is all about. The things that make us uncomfortable. Some believe that this feeling of discomfort is what we need to explore to "grow".
I tend to believe that if nature is making us feel uncomfortable, it's not meant to be.
Quite honestly it seems to me that these may be a couple of really dissatisfied individuals that need to lay blame for their own frustrations or lacking life on something or someone other than themselves.
