Another thing that bugs me is in the description of the book, it lists "sexual liberty of women" as an abuse of freedom.
He's sort of on the Leon Kass tip there. The idea that only women are having premarital, heterosexual sex is a bit improbable, but even these guys are reluctant to say "It's okay for men to do it, but the women should feel ashamed."
I actually argued the exact same point with Fight For Freeform several years ago. He was going on about how Islamic societies are "more virtuous" than western ones, and how this is more pleasing to God, and I noted that virtue is only virtue when it's not coerced.
That reminds me of an IRC conversation years ago. Paraphrased:
<Mandark> Oh boy,
nrXic just quoted a block of text from my Iraq post.
<Mandark> I'd rather he just stay out of it than have his support.
<Azih> There's nothing worse in those threads than having him or Refugee start agreeing with you.
<Mandark> I thought you were Refugee. You Muslims are hard to tell apart!
<Azih> That's true, Alpha.
<Mandark> :(
And you should totally do a book. Find one of your old Gamesquad-era posts, and cut it down by a third.
