Egyptian therapist: Jews most sexually perverse ever
Answer comes as a response to question asking if sex should be for ‘procreation only or for pleasure’
Lee Gancman is a breaking news editor at The Times of Israel.
Heba Kotb, a consultant on Islamic medicine and marital life, said on a recent Egyptian TV show that the Jews “have had the highest rate of sexual perversions in history.” She argued that this is due to a “psychological imbalance” caused by strict religious rules.
Kotb, a regular guest on the program “Bil-Wuduh” that airs on Egyptian al-Hayat TV, is known for giving advice on marital relations often focusing on sex.
During the program, which aired on January 16, host Amr al-Lithi asked Kotb a question — which came from viewers — regarding her opinion on whether sex is “for procreation only” or merely “as a means for pleasure.”
Rather than answering the question, Kotb goes off on a tangent of how, in Judaism, sex is only for procreation.
“In Jewish thought, sex has to be for a reason,” she said. “There are very strict rules among the Jews, it has to be done through a buffer, after sunset, without touching, and so on.” This, she says, creates a “psychological imbalance” that leads to deviant behavior among the Jews.
The clip was translated into English and posted online by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
Despite almost no Jews left in the country, they remain a common topic of discussion in the Egyptian media.
One of the more outrageous claims is an oft-repeated conspiracy theory that Islamic State leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is a Jew named Simon Elliot.
