Authorspeak-1
God created the world. But instead of making it the permanent abode for a few, He made it a temporary halt for many. He created life and death. Death necessitated the birth. The creator of the Universe designed a unique method that would successfully meet the requirement of the continuation of the species and the change of the generation. And as Kind and Compassionate He was, His method of creation would not be an unsavoury burden on the living beings; it would indeed become a source of unparalleled delight. He created what are known as two sexes, opposite, yet complementary to each other. In each one’s sight, the other is more charming, attractive and pleasant than its own. And the two sexes combine together not only to reproduce but also to enjoy the precious gift of God. But God is not just Compassionate; He is also supremely Wise, Sagacious and Authoritative. Had the joy of mating been less, qualitatively or quantitatively, than the responsibilities that would follow, the two sexes would have perhaps hardly loved to love. But the rapture of love is too compelling, too tempting and too ecstatic to resist. When a man and a woman, in anticipation of union, come face to face, the waves reflected from their bodies bring sheer pleasure to their existence. When the odours emanating from their bodies intermingle, their emotions start dancing to the melodious tune of love. When their bodies touch, they rapturously submerge into one another. This ecstatic union creates life. And sex has everything that the word ‘life’ can mean. Sex and life were created to be and are inseparable. However, this most outstanding, beautiful and wonderful relationship would sustain its sublimity only if sex followed the limitations set by God, not out of His wish to regulate actions, but necessitated by the probable adverse effects. As soon as man started bulldozing these boundaries, sex and life began to fall out. The more the boundaries got demolished the more the distance between them grew. The greater they distanced themselves from one another the closer the death came. Alas! Sex has now become as much a friend of death as it has been of life. Thanks to the global merchants of sex—better call them the global merchants of death and destruction—sex has become the drug more than the food. It can now be regarded as arguably the biggest tormentor of humanity. It kills individuals, devastates family peace and desecrates social order. The Killer Sex unveils the designs of the forces of economic fundamentalism and their insatiable hunger for the moolah, which has transformed sex from an agent of life to an instrument of business.
In accomplishing this task, I have received huge support from several friends and relatives. I had been planning to write this book for about two years. But the immediate impetus was provided by a dear friend of mine, Ms Adrienne Hughes of the United States whom I happened to meet in an Internet chat room. She was immensely excited when she read the theme of the work and offered her assistance. On my request, she collected the data required for the work with an utmost urgency. I was left with no option but to embark upon the project without delay. She also gathered real life accounts from some of those who had been directly or indirectly the victims of the modern sexuality and rearranged and edited them in the form of “From the diary of a twig”. Even to my surprise, and this was largely the result of the inspiration she proved to be, that the first draft of the work was completed within a period of about two months. Though most of the words in the book have been mine but I felt her catalytic presence beside me when I penned each of those words.
I owe my thanks to my friend Mr. Jalal Umar who not only performed the tedious task of proof reading the text but also gave several invaluable suggestions. Last but not the least, I would like to thank my wife, Dr. Iffat Masood Javed and my sons Abuzar and Ali whose moral support and patience with me have been a shining lamp for the work without which it would never have come into being. And I will fail in my duty if I do not express my gratitude to my parents, in-laws, brothers and sisters and friends whose prayers have always been acting as an umbrella for my safe existence.
I do hope The Killer Sex would prove to be an important milestone on the road to the ultimate goal of the revival of sex that has an unbreakable relationship with love. Sex must cease to be the darkness of death; and must regain as soon as possible its unique status as the light of life.

AUTHORSPEAK-2
Amidst the anger most of us were feeling with the events of September 11th, I had the privilege of meeting a dignified scholar, Dr. Javed Jamil. At the time, I was going through changes in my life, which were a bit too much for me to handle. Writing has always been therapeutic to me; therefore, assisting in Killer Sex brought about a healing that was much needed.
I am the United Way co-ordinator in my area. United Way of America distributes funds to different non-profit organisations such as rape crises centres, The Boys and Girls clubs (which provides after-school tutoring and activities free of charge to the school-age children), the American Red Cross, etc. Being a single mother and working full time, I was not able to donate time to the United Way that it deserved. However, in assisting Dr. Jamil, I have become an advocate to a cause that is highly important to me. With the release of The Killer Sex, my hopes are that one less family parts ways due to some meaningless affair, that one less teenager becomes pregnant before she lives out her dreams, and that one less child has to suffer at the hands of an adult.
To my daughters –
the music within your laughter makes it all
worthwhile.
My friends and family in the U.S., India, and Middle East –
you smiled for me when smiling wasn't easy.
Dr. Mike Felker –
for not changing my writing.
Suhail –
for staying.
Arundhati Roy –
for writing The God of Small Things.
Dr. Javed Jamil –
your trust and patience were far beyond anything
imaginable -- I am forever in debt to you.

THE DEVIL EMERGES
It was a wonderful Garden raised above from the land—lush green, spreading and fructiferous. The environment was pure; pollution was conspicuous by its absence. Flowers, trees, stems, buds, leaves and fruits -- all were living merrily. The harmony was absolute all around. The flowers never withered there; their purifying fragrance rode the prancing wind with the grace of a knight. The leaves incessantly danced to the whistling of the wind. The grass spread like a carpet to welcome one and all. Peace was ubiquitous embracing the whole of the Garden without a semblance of partisanship. Among its residents were also Adam and Eve whose innocent love knew no bounds. They enjoyed every bit of their life together. Together they roamed in the Garden, together they ate and drank, and together they rested under the long dark shadows of trees. The whole of the Garden had been summoned to fulfil their wishes. With the exception of one Tree that they were not permitted to approach. They believed that the peace of the Garden would be eternal for them. But it was destined not to be. From somewhere in the darkness of the bushes, the Devil surfaced. Jealous of the harmonious creation of God and envious of man, whom He had chosen as His viceroy in preference to the Devil, he planned a mischief. He whispered to Adam and Eve that the Prohibited Tree was forbidden for no great purpose; if they touched it, the bliss they were living in would become eternal and they would lord over the Garden forever. Innocent and ingenuous as they were, not mindful of the art of treachery, ingeniousness and deception that the Devil mastered, they took him at his word. The result was what the Devil anticipated. And as soon as they trespassed, their anatomy became public. The Devil had perhaps also hoped they would be ecstatic at this display of their hidden treasures. And this would help him to preside over the devastation of the harmony that the Garden boasted of. He dreamt of victory over God. But God would not let the Garden be dismantled. Adam and Eve soon realised their folly in succumbing to the temptation. Instead of following the course the Devil had chosen for them, they sought forgiveness from their Lord and pleaded Him to guide them to the Divine Course. God saved them from total disgrace but asked them to prove their credentials as His true servants once again in a new environment. This time they would not have the privilege of entering a Garden readied for their welcome but would have to cultivate one through their own efforts. God promised them all kinds of assistance but also sounded a caveat. He warned them in categorical terms that the Devil would leave no stone unturned in surfacing again in a big way to challenge them. Adam and Eve started the work and those that followed their footsteps continued to laboriously cultivate the garden. Despite many of their fellow beings acquiescing to the dictates of the Devil, they sustained their efforts. A garden was ready again. Nice and beautiful. But not as wonderful as the first one was. Its flowers had hardly begun to spread their fragrance that the Devil resurfaced. He chose the lascivious among the inmates as his viceroys just as the God had chosen Adam and other Prophets. He used their brains to show others the dreams of a garden that would be far more luxurious, attractive and blissful than what it was at that moment. And this time the Devil seems to have hit the jackpot. He has succeeded in dismantling the garden in a unique way. The uniqueness about his success is that the inner destruction of the garden has been enveloped in a superficial prosperity. Superficial beauty is for everyone to see but only a few has the eyes to see what lies in. This advent of the Devil has been in the form of what I call ‘economic fundamentalism’.
During the last few decades, “fundamentalism” has perhaps been one of the most frequently used terms in the world media, having been generally used in relation to religion usually referred to as religious fundamentalism. The term seems to have been first used in 1920s in the US to describe the ideological proclivities of a group of churches that claimed to defend the premises of orthodox Christianity. Interestingly, the opposing groups were referred to as liberals or modernists. The modernists severely criticised the church for wrapping itself in an outworn theology and ignoring modern developments. The roots of Christian fundamentalism are to be found in the Millennium Movement of 1830s when the Christians of the United States had grown in excitement over the expectation of reappearance of Jesus Christ. They believed that the Second Advent of Christ would be the beginning of one thousand years of total peace. Then in 1950s, the term “modern fundamentalism” came into usage in relation to the anti-Communist movement.
In the recent past, “religious fundamentalism” has been used by West for Islamic revivalists in West Asia who have been engaged in popular campaigns against Western influences in the region. Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, Yasser Arafat of Palestine, Col. Ghaddafi of Libya, Gen. Zia of Pakistan, Taliban in Afghanistan, the Islamic political parties in Algeria and Turkey, the pro-Islamic elements in Egypt - all have been spurned time and again as ‘Islamic fundamentalists.’ The most recent to join the list has of course been the al-Qaida headed by Osama ben Laden who allegedly masterminded the devastating attack on the twin towers in New York on September 11, 2000. In India, it has been used to describe all those movements and campaigns that have been inspired by religious beliefs or communal sentiments.
