"Female sexuality" article

Regarding female sexuality: this article is really only a stub. It's intended to be a start of expanding the human sexuality coverage, keeping human sexuality as an overview of all of the forms of human sexuality, and using female sexuality and male sexuality to work on the aspects which are typically more specific to women and men respectively (but without, I hope, resorting to mere stereotyping). It's a huge topic, and the current version is rather poor -- please feel free to revise it as you see fit. A start on male sexuality would be nice, too. -- The Anome 02:56, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Cartoons

Showing the figures of Mohammed is disturbing muslims. And it is a insult to Islam. In Islam making and also looking the figures of Mohammed is forbidden.That is raping the holy things of Islam.And it is not about "freedom".PLEASE get back your sıgnature.Thanks.--Erdemsenol 00:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Please do not equate the publication of a cartoon with sexual assault; it's an insult to people who have endured that particular physical violation.--Anchoress 01:11, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi Anchoress. Thank you for your kind words and the barnstar. I appreciate it. It is encouraging me to continue in the efforts I was making. Peace. Metta Bubble 10:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

The following paragraph contains sentence fragments I can't decipher:

The Justice and Islamic Affairs Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed Al Dhaheri, called it "cultural terrorism, not freedom of expression," according to the official WAM news agency. "The repercussions of such irresponsible acts will have adverse impact on international relations." In Tunisia, Abdulaziz Othman Altwaijri, president of the Islamic Organization for Education, Science and Culture (the Islamic world's counterpart to UNESCO) called the drawings "a form of racism and discrimination that one must counter by all available means." He said, "It's regrettable to state today, as we are calling for dialogue, that other parties feed animosity and hate and attack sacred symbols of Muslims and of their prophet," said also Jordan's largest circulation daily, government-run Al-Rai, said the Danish government must apologize.

It's hard to check since the citations seem to be out of order. I'd fix them myself but I really, really, really don't know how.--Anchoress 06:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Jesus as "he who must not be named"

Curious: Where did you hear that In the Jewish annals of notable Jews, Jesus is referred to as 'He Who Must Not be Named'? I've never heard this referred to before, and Google doesn't seem to corroborate much either. Do you know what 'annals' make the reference? -Joshuapaquin 02:22, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I've never read it myself, I heard it from a girlfriend.--Anchoress 03:33, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

It's actually a Judaic tradition that the name of God is "ineffable" and "not to be read aloud" (http://en.wikipedia.org/Yahweh)... Christianity is fond of adopting Jewish concepts and applying them to Jesus, as Christians believe that the expected Jewish Messiah was actually Jesus and therefore they have a right to culturally appropriate Judaic beliefs. By the way, thanks for the feedback on the robert pickton comment that I made... nice to not feel like I'm typing into a vacuum, and to hear from Vancouver editors...--fennel

No that's not it at all, actually fennel. My friend who told me about this is an Orthodox Jew, she has no interest in Christianity. She says that in Jewish historical texts, there is a list of notable Jews going back thousands of years. It lists honourable and notorious people. The most notorious is Jesus, and he is so despicable that he is never named. He's just called 'he who must not be named'.--Anchoress 09:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Interesting! I hadn't heard that before... It is also true that Christianity often attributes Judaic perspectives about God to Jesus... I've heard the term "Adonai" and other Jewish religious terminology used by Evangelical Christians in reference to Jesus, usually in songs in church... as well as the commonly heard Evangelical Christian teaching that the Jewish Messiah was in fact Jesus... I grew up in that context. It is also Judaic tradition that the name of God must not be spoken out loud, as described on the wikipedia page titled Yahweh that I referenced above. So there's a Jewish reason for Jesus to be referred to as "He Who Must Not Be Named", and a different Evangelical Christian reason for same. Complicated!--fennel
