I see this as just another step towards the extremes of ridiculousness that is fundamentalist Islamic religion. Imagine being so disconnected from existence, and being so hypnotised by words, that you would subjugate those in your culture who, through their natural virtue, embody the positive characteristics of the very god they describe and worship such as love, compassion, acceptance, understanding, yeilding, giving etc.

If only this sort of dangerous nonsense were the purview of just fundie Muslims. Fundie Christians would and will do the same things should they gain absolute power.

Right. Margaret Atwood based the Handmaid’s Tale as a combination of things that have happened somewhere, and she arguably didn’t go far enough.
