Now study Islam

Apparently there has been yet another academic study suggesting a link between lads' mags and anti-social behaviour in men.  It may well be true that photos of oiled up topless women cause some men to objectify women, and it may also be true that adverts which promote a concept of masculinity as aggressive have a similar effect.

Maybe the academics who carry out these studies would like to consider the following passage from The Koran:

Your wives are a tilth for you, so go into your tilth when you like  (2.223)

Could there possibly be a link between The Koran and anti-social behaviour in at least some Muslim men?  Are any of Britain's academics brave enough to ask the question?

In related news, seven men have been jailed for running a child prostitute ring.  Two of them have been named as Ahdel Ali and Mubarek Ali.  Would I be correct in assuming that they are Muslims?

Update:  I have since found out that the other five men were called Mohammed Islam Choudhrey, Mohammed Ali Sultan, Mohammed Younis, Mahroof Khan, and Tanveer Ahmed.  Three sex offenders called Mohammed - whatever next?
