I thought this was kinda hilarious… just another example of how some cultures are quite superstitious. And yeah, there are silly beliefs rampant within our western culture, too – global warming hysteria for starters. Or that voting Republican will suddenly cause rape to become legal.
But I find it interesting because Muslims seem to be known for somewhat Spartan lifestyles, denying themselves alcohol, pepperoni pizza and supposedly sexual promiscuity. And although I am no expert on Islam, I understand that the big goal of death is to go to their version of paradise and, if they were good Muslims, they receive 72 virgins and can finally satisfy all their carnal urges. What do the women receive? I haven’t heard.
(I also wonder about Yasser Arafat – he was not into women, so did he receive 72 young boys when he died? He sure did a lot of killing and fomenting of terrorism for Allah, so he’s gotta have some big reward.)
The articles below demonstrate the strange relationship Muslim men have with their manhood, their sense of power and masculinity.
I will substitute "pee-pee" for the real word in the following excerpts in case it makes anyone uncomfortable or giggly. Note: I am not including the entire articles here.

Panic in Khartoum: Foreigners Shake Hands, Make [Pee-pees] Disappear
During September 2003, mass hysteria spread through Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, which was ultimately quelled by police intervention and statements made by the health minister. The panic was caused by rumors of foreigners roaming the city and shaking men's hands, making their [pee-pees] disappear. The rumors were spread rapidly by text messages on cellular phones, and diverted the public's attention from a breakthrough in negotiations in Kenya between Sudanese Vice President Ali Othman and SPLA leader John Garang.
Several versions of the story circulated and not all involved foreigners: Initially, it was claimed that the perpetrators belonged to a Sudanese tribe; according to another version, one West African man was responsible; later, the one man was replaced in the rumor with a group of West Africans.
Al-Quds Al-Arabi correspondent Kamal Hassan Bakhit, who was the first to report on the affair outside Sudan, wrote that "the source of the horror is a foreign citizen from a West African country who is roaming through the city marketplace and draining men's virility via a handshake" and that "people are refusing to shake hands with anyone they don't know." Bakhit reported that police had received numerous complaints about someone called 'Satan's Friend,' and that they had launched an investigation and arrested a foreigner who had in his possession scarves, books on sorcery, and two million Sudanese pounds (about $1,500).
Victims Tell Their Stories
Two of the "victims" agreed to tell their story to the London-based Arabic daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi. One of them, fabric merchant S. K. A., said that a man from a West African tribe came into his shop to buy fabric, but an argument quickly developed between the two. Then the West African shook the store owner's hand powerfully until the owner felt his [pee-pee] melt into his body. The store owner became hysterical, and was taken to the hospital.
While the majority of accounts involved handshaking, another victim, who refused to give his name, said that while he was at the market, a man approached him, gave him a comb, and asked him to comb his hair. When he did so, within seconds, he said, he felt a strange sensation and discovered that he had lost his [pee-pee]. It was also claimed that once "'Satan's Friend' drains a man's virility," he demands that his victim pay him over four million Sudanese pounds (about $3,000) to get it back.

Here’s another article from World Jewish News Agency. I’m not sure of the date, but here’s the link: http://www.worldjewishnewsagency.org/jewish_tragi.htm (Again, I am not quoting the entire article, just the main points.)
The Fireproof [Pee-pee] and Muslim Suicide Bombers
Having listened to the pundits and experts on Islamic suicide bombings, these narrowly-focused authorities all seem to miss one glaring point: a desire for debauchery. Take unrelenting hatred, a lust for the depraved and a religion that promises utterly unspiritual orgies of alcohol and sex and you often get a genocidal suicide bomber.
In a symposium held by FrontPage magazine, Dr. Hans-Peter Raddatz, a scholar of Islamic Studies and author of a number of books, including Von Allah zum Terror? Der Djihad und die Deformierung des Westens (From Allah to Terror? Jihad and the Western Deformation), made the following revelation regarding these bombers: “Some of the Palestinian suicide bombers wrap their [pee-pees] into fire-proof aluminum foil to save them for the pleasures to come.’’
Our God does not have a Heaven filled with every carnal vice. Our spirits are beyond fleshly perversions. In fact, according to Judeo-Christian philosophy (as well as other religions), it is only in the realms known to be inhabited by demons and the ultimate evil that sexual orgies, fornication, drunkenness and every other twisting of moral laws is said to take place. But not according to most Muslims, who hand out candy every time a Jew is blown up, or some ‘Crusader’ site is rocked by explosions and carnage. However, not only are their religious beliefs directly opposed to ours, their philosophy surrounding it is totally without logic. The whole concept of a fireproof [pee-pee] proves this.
Logically, how can one fornicate unless one has arms, legs, a torso and even a head? Are they to be disembodied [pee-pees], ripping through 72 poor virgins again and again for all eternity? And if their ALLAH will supposedly restore their bodies once dead, why not the [pee-pee]?
