However, not all Muslim women in Malaysia subscribe to the teachings in the book. "OWC's teachings are an insult to Islam", says Ratna Osman of Sister-in-Islam.
Hatijah Aam, 57, founder of the OWC, and one of the wives of the late Al-Arqam founder Ashaari Muhammad who is featured on the cover of the controversial book, shares some insights on OWC's interpretation of Islamic sex.
- If your spirit is pure you can have sex with your wife even though you are abroad fighting a war.
- God allows sex sports. And to be good in sex you need practice.
- Orgasm releases a pain killer and helps with fever. But don’t have affairs on the pretext of curing your fever.
- Orgasm prevents wrinkles.
- Sex can make you younger. Jogging can be replaced by “sexcercise”.
- Only animals have sex without mukadimah (foreplay).
- It is important for a woman’s breasts to be sucked in order to prevent breast cancer (quoting a BBC news report).
While the women are embroiled in the controversy, the men are generally quite happy to remain on the sidelines. As long as they are permitted to marry four wives and everyone of the wives pledges obedience to their husband, and do their best to satisfy his sexual needs, what is there for them to complain about?
It's still very much a man's world out there. If members of the Obedient Wives Club take joy in being subservient to their husbands, why should the rest of us condemn them and deny them this pleasure? If the husband is happy, and all his wives are just as happy, then there's all to it. Isn't that what matters? Better than being in a monogamous marriage where neither party finds fulfilment in each other, and the only option left is divorce. But, to each her own.
Footnote: The title of the banned book is Seks Islam, Perangi Yahudi Untuk Kembalikan Seks Islam Kepada Dunia. This translates into Islamic Sex, Fighting Jews to Return Islamic Sex to the World. What is the link between Jews and Islamic sex? Why the use of the word 'return'? Did the Jews hijack Islamic sex?
These instructions would fit nicely in OWC's guidelines on how to please their husband.
