		<description>Why are Egyptian OB-GYN&#039;s neglecting to inform the Muslim Brotherhood that some women are born without hymens, some women have weak hymens that break easily, or that some women still have hymens after child birth?  Even better, why don&#039;t they inform them that virginity(as a medical condition) is a myth?  It seems to me that the problem is that those who know better, refuse to tell others the truth.  I think they&#039;re is way too much lying in the world, and if we would just tell the truth, we would have a much better world.</description>

		<description>In my opinion and countless rants, in the Arab world, marriage is not really a &quot;blessing&quot; anymore. It&#039;s more of a &quot;convenience&quot;. A convenience in order to get the following: Sex (mostly), respect from family, and a place to stay. So for example, if a man is cleaning up his drug addiction..they&#039;d suggest him that it&#039;s a good idea to find a nice virgin Muslim girl to marry. Marriage is basically a cure for a man&#039;s past.

If a woman has had premarital sex in such a strict society with family standards, than OMG..that means...A MAN HAD PREMARITAL SEX TOO. WHY DON&#039;T YOU GO TARGET THEM TOO?

And got really angry over this quote:
&quot;...According to Askar, a woman is a weak creature who is incapable of choosing what to do and what not to do, and is easily tempted to commit “sins” if they became closer and easier to her...&quot;

Again with extreme Muslim men saying women are stupid. Are you serious? Women mature faster than men and know exactly what to do. Choosing what to do? Omg, if I had premarital sex, I&#039;d be dead. So duh, I just CHOSE WHAT TO DO. I wish I could virtually crack some skulls. A lot of these men should not even speak, they only end up blaming women for a problem in society and are hypocrites themselves.
I&#039;ve had men tell me that women are crooked creatures and can snap from trying to be changed.

I *hate* hyprocritical religious people.

And I agree the product would make a life based on a lie. But it&#039;s so depressing and disgusting that the world has a fascination and obsession with a woman&#039;s virginity. It&#039;s very unfair that most of the Muslim woman population are married virgins and most of their husbands were never virgins at marriage, estagfirAllah. This is why I do not want to get married. I very much prefer to die a virgin and not save myself for such filth. men expect something precious in return.

Men need to stop blaming women for everything, men need to look at each other and scrutinize themselves before they blame the opposite gender.

		<description>Rania 
egyptian men have premarital sex with several girls and they are expecting to have a virgin wife , not only with hymen but with no one who touched her beforee , i think the problem is not in the product unless we need to put our heads in the sand and make our selves blind about the existing facts , and why are all this chit chat about this product as if no one has an idea about the virginity surgeries that became very common , so the issue is about how do we face reality not about the reality it self</description>

		<description>Jouri,

There is no single verse in the holy Qur&#039;an mentioning death punishment to those who have a sexual relationship outside their marriage..I know there is a hadith ..but when it comes to (Hodoud) I believe it is only the Qur&#039;an we should refer to...</description>

		<description>&quot;Also a lot of the buzz surrounded the fact that the existence of such an option will make it harder for men to make sure that their brides are natural virgins or not...&quot;

Welcome to our world fellas! Men think them having premarital sex isn&#039;t so bad because society seems to give this message. About time they focused on the message Islam gives....The whole buzz around this is downright embarrassing- when people are starving, suffering major human rights abuses and the world is in environment meltdown...All Muslims care about are women and their hymens. (What the hell?!)</description>
