QuoteEgyptian cuts off penis to torpedo marriage
An Egyptian has cut off his own penis in protest at his parents' choice of bride, a police official said.
The 25-year-old labourer from the village of Sheikh Eissa in southern Egypt was taken to hospital in stable condition, the official said, adding that the man had also mutilated his testicles.
"He was in love with a woman but his parents rejected her and told him to marry another woman he didn't want. He took a knife and cut off his penis in his room," the official said.
Doctors were unable to reattach the severed member, the official added.

Literally cut it off now, or let her figuratively cut it off later.
Now that must have took balls.
He ran out of other ideas and was just stumped.
Not sure what he was trying to accomplish, it's not like he was going to need after the wedding anyways.
QuoteHe was in love with a woman
Yeah, sure. Sounds more like they wouldn't fund his sex change operation.
Dude was a moron. This is the 21st century. Your parents don't pick your wife for you unless you let them. He should have told them to fuck off and married who he wants to. reason #3,976,876,936,987,042 religion is only for retards.

QuoteFamily axes wedding plans, Egyptian cuts off organ
By SARAH EL DEEB – 15 hours ago
CAIRO (AP) — A 25-year-old Egyptian man cut off his own penis to spite his family after he was refused permission to marry a girl from a lower class family, police reported Sunday.
After unsuccessfully petitioning his father for two years to marry the girl, the man heated up a knife and sliced off his reproductive organ, said a police official.
The young man came from a prominent family in the southern Egyptian province of Qena, one of Egypt's poorest and most conservative areas that is also home to the famed ancient Egyptian ruins of Luxor.
The man was rushed to the hospital but doctors were unable to reattach the severed member, the official added citing the police report filed after the incident.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the press, added that the man was still recovering in the hospital.
Traditionally, marriages in these conservative part of southern Egypt are between similar social classes and often within the same extended families — and are rarely for love.

That sort of thing might fly here in the West, but out there, it's a different story. Contempt for one's family is a uniquely Western affectation, because our wealth has enabled us to throw off all human contact and demolish society.

This wasn't a religious thing, just a typical primitive society thing.
I think it's more of a mental illness thing.
And these are the kinds of people who are supposed to enrich our culture.
NO THANK YOU, COMMIETARDS!

I think that this is at the root of the matter.

Yes, in advanced societies, we let mrs. Bobbit cut off her husband's wang instead. :cool:
Good. One less egyptian to multiply like rats.
Now to convince the Israelis to start this practice...
I remember some guy on the Paradox boards was talking about how was planning to do this. Not surprisingly the thread was closed and the user banned.

Actually Egyptians multiply slightly less than Israelis :)
Birthrates have been collapsing in most of the Middle East over the past 30 years, though not as dramatically as elsewhere.

24 per 1000 for Egypt vs 19 for Israel. And Israeli stats are only that high because of the high Palestinian birth rate.

Okay, sorry I got that wrong. They multiply more but die more too. So Egypt's population is growing by 1.6-7% while Israel's is by about 1.8% and Jews alone are around 1.7%.
Neat.
