Slavoj Zizek on Islamic mistrust and the Far Eastern

apotheosis of Mother-Goddess: Slavoj Zizek takes a look into the archives of Islam and glances at the Far East to bring us this nugget of insight: "This brings us back to the topic with which we began: woman and the Orient. The true choice is not the one between the Near-East masculine Islam and the Far-East more feminine spirituality, but between the Far-Eastern elevation of a woman into the Mother-Goddess, the generative-and-destructive substance of the World, and the Muslim distrust of woman which, paradoxically, in a negative way renders much more directly the traumatic-subversive-creative-explosive power of feminine subjectivity."

Is he taking the New Age's Goddess worship as "Far Eastern?" It certainly sets up a nice little opposition between Islam and "Far East." For Zizek, Islam's "mistrust" of women is a more authentic position with regard to the feminine than Goddess worship. But what Goddess worshipping Far East is he talking about? The one he finds in his local Wicca bookstore?

Isn't he talking about paganism? Matriarchy? Mythology? I am confused...but as Lacan says, at least according to Zizek, the truth deceives, or I am sure it was something along those lines.

Far East! Far Out!
