The 115-page book, called \u201cIslamic Sex: Fighting Jews to Return Islamic Sex to the World,\u201d was published last month in Malaysia and billed as a self-help category_ide for young brides to satisfy their husbands in bed. In it, the Obedient Wives Club argued that most women give their husbands only a fraction of their bodies and only satisfy 10% of their husbands\u2019 sexual needs.  It went on to suggest that men who have achieved a certain level of spirituality could have sex simultaneously with multiple wives, wherever they may be, and that \u201cIslamic sex\u201d \u2014 which the group says is \u201cpure\u201d and \u201cbased on love\u201d \u2014 can be a fresh weapon against Judaism, which the group says promotes \u201cfree sex\u201d as part of a bid to take over the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The book and the club behind it have been denounced by many Malaysians who want to promote their largely moderate country as a leader among progressive Muslim nations. The government reviewed the book and said Thursday it was illegal because of the group\u2019s links to another religious sect that was outlawed in the 1990s known as Al-Arqaam.  \u201cThe government has banned Al-Arqaam. Any production from Al-Arqam is banned. Therefore this book is banned,\u201d said Mahmood Adam, secretary-general of Malaysia\u2019s Ministry of Home Affairs, in a phone interview Thursday.  Fauziah Ariffin, president of the Obedient Wives Club in Malaysia, said in a phone interview after the ban was announced that it didn\u2019t bother her.  \u201cWe accept the government\u2019s decision,\u201d she said. \u201cWe don\u2019t really care. We printed 3,000 copies of the book and it sold like hot fried bananas (a favorite snack among Malaysians). We have had such positive views from those who read the book. So we don\u2019t really care if the government chooses to ban the book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>If anything, she said, the furor has only served to boost interest in the organization.  \u201cWe are constantly getting calls from both male and female inquiring about our club, our activities,\u201d she said. \u201cSome have even asked for counseling.\u201d  However, \u201cwe have not seen an increase in our membership because we are very strict as to whom we accept as our members,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have our own ISO,\u201d she added, referring to the sets of rules used by companies and organizations to maintain quality and standards around the world.  The Obedient Wives Club is no stranger to controversy and previously has embarrassed many mainstream Muslims in this multicultural country with its pronouncements. While polygamy is legal for Muslims, this year the group\u2019s vice president, Rohaya Mohamad, angered women\u2019s rights groups by advising its members to avoid marital problems by acting like a \u201cfirst-class whore\u201d in bed. \u201cRather than allowing him to sin, a woman must do what she can to ensure her husband\u2019s desires are met,\u201d she told reporters in June.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.wsj.com\/searealtime\/2011\/11\/04\/malaysia-bans-islamic-sex-category_ide\/\">SOURCE<\/a><br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Malaysian authorities have banned a controversial sex category_ide produced by the pro-polygamy Islamic group, the Obedient Wives Club.
