U miss the point @ShefVaidya. Islam speaks to the most basal human (male) drives

Zar (gold), Zan (woman), Zameen (land)

It rewards the most primitive sexual desires of a male (spreading his seed in as many “vessels”) in almost all animals

If only all humans were Gorilla males

Profit understood this male psyche very deeply (looking at his life, instinctively- Zainab episode throws a floodlight on it).

Keeping a man focused on what call in dharma - āhār (food), nidrā (sleep/rest), bhaya (fear) and maithun (sex) is very very easy.

Dharma is actually an effort against this natural male-flow. Going tangential but the whole concept of revering an “urdhvaretā” (one who can make the sexual drive/energies flow “upwards” as opposed to those mango ppl who let it flow downwards underlines this.

@ShefVaidya

Both Zar & Zameen is ultimately to “spread seed” in various Zan (from where Janānā word came - Women) from diverse lands

While defending circumcision, this is common argument: you will stay hard for longer time (than weak infidel men) and their women will like you better.

The fact that they don’t hide this motivation while explaining its benefits to their teenagers throws a very interesting light

So many kaafir women roaming around, waiting to be enjoyed and one can’t do as one wishes in spite of go ahead from god is frustrating reality for them

Hence the primal justification for ghazwa-e-hind, darul-islam, ālhirāt and of course 72 virgins

The prospects of 72 virgins in paradise is in fact the projection of what the victory over kafirs promise in this world itself

Anyways. We know how to deal with this @ShefVaidya
