Ex-Muslim here.

I had this random thought while discussing politics and religion with a colleague.

There's an urban legend that Islam promises 70+ virgins to any man who martyr's himself for Islam. Many Muslims actually believe this even though it's not written in the Quran. However that's another topic for discussion.

Anyway, we've got a lot of Muslim men who blow-themselves up because they believe that in the afterlife they will get a harem of virgins (i.e. no used-up post-wall single moms). This has me scratching my head. Are these men so desperate for female attention that they're willing to explode themselves for these alleged females who might not actually exist? Talk about placing pussy on the pedestal!

The saddest thing is that During the "Golden Age of Islam" there were a few well-known MGTOW who made major contributions to math and science (Alhazen, Avicenna). Looking back historically many of the first civilizations arose in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. So it's not that these people are incapable of building a complex and productive culture. Unfortunately today many Muslims have focused their attention to chasing females, reproducing, and spreading their genes (and ideology) rather than building on the works of their ancestors. People who try to go their own way and think for themselves risk being branded as apostates which is a death sentence in some countries.

Anyway I was just thinking that many Muslim men are blue-pilled in their own way: sacrificing their lives for their state for the promise of female attention (while many Muslim clerics and leader in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and Afghanistan actually do have harems of young females). A healthy dose of MGTOW would strip these clerics and leaders of their mindless grunts and possibly bring civilization back to the Middle East and Central Asia.
