& Feminism Liam Brian Yost In
the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful “There
is nothing more beautiful than the naked expression of a fully covered
woman.” Anonymous The
following is about the status of the Muslim woman in America. Yes, this is
a subject that has been written about and touched on numerous times by
others, yet the Western thought that the Muslim woman is oppressed by the
wearing of hijab (head veil) as
well as niqab (face veil) has yet to be weeded out of their psyches. Allah
says in the Holy Qur’an: Now
having read the piece of this ayat from the Holy Qur’an, can you who
thinks the Muslim woman is oppressed tell me with a straight face that
this is an oppressive and derogatory order to give to the women of Islam?
If you read, and I mean really read, you’ll see that this order
is not to oppress but to protect the Muslim woman, her pride and her
chastity. There is nothing at all wrong nor oppressive about caring for
one’s safety and telling them how to safeguard themselves from the evils
that lie in wait out there in this world so dominated by all kinds of
perversion. The Muslim woman is a gift sent to the Muslim man by Allah to
take care of and to cherish like the jewel she is. You do not put a jewel
out in something filthy or that can possibly do it harm without some kind
of protection do you? They’re far too precious to risk are they not?
Well this is how we, Muslim men see our Muslimahs when sending them out in
the world. Allah
knows better than any that this world is filled with derogitivness and
perversion. He also knows that women are watched and gawked at by all
kinds of men looking to do who knows what to them. So He sent down this
ruling when it came to the protection of the Muslimah having these eyes
gaze upon her. The solution in this is to give them nothing to gawk at and
drool over. Simple. Not oppressive…but simple. If the Muslimah that
covers herself sees the love and the care for her in the words her Creator
speaks to her in the Qur’an, then why can’t the average
“Westernized” woman see and understand this rather than see her as
oppressed? The
reason, and this is just my opinion mind you, is that they simply choose
not to see. You see, the average feminist type that sees a Muslimah as
oppressed is usually involved in some kind of politics as well. When I say
politics I mean women’s groups such as NOW (National Organization for
Womyn) Yes people I spelled it right “Womyn” to some of it’s members
to remove the word “men” from “women”. Other groups include
numerous Pro Choice organizations such as the Pro-Choice Action Network
who, on their website, talk of women’s right to murder their children
because they are an inconvenience to the irresponsible mother that got
pregnant with some guy she probably hardly knew anything about and thus
didn’t want to have him be the father of her child. Or maybe it’s not
a good “career move” for her to have it...who knows? Regardless of the
reasons (other than danger to the mother’s health) they support this
thing loud and proud and make no qualms about telling you you’re foolish
to try and deny a woman her “right” to murder her child. The
fact of the matter is this. Organizations like NOW and the such are money
makers as well as a way for women to get their foot in the door as far as
speaking out in political issues. Now don’t get me wrong, there is
nothing at all wrong with women speaking in politics. However, many of
the women involved in these organizations are usually overemotional
zealots who like to march outside abortion clinics to counter attack the
people there trying to talk these young girls out of killing their
children and provide them with other options. And no I’m not talking
about the fanatics in the pro-life group either. I’m talking about those
that truly see abortion for what it is and care about the girls mental
well being. There are many organizations such as National Right to Life
that take these young girls in and see to it that they’re healthy and
help the girls to pay for the birth of the child as well as help with
it’s adoption. The
women in these feminist groups have a different agenda. They don’t truly
care about the young girls the way they appear to. They care more about
being heard and the life of their political standing…period. And if you
don’t believe this is the case, then answer me this. Why is it that
these pro-choice women get so very angry when a person that is pro-life
stops these girls to talk them out of killing their child? They get in the
person’s face and tell them to leave the girl alone and that it’s her
“right” to abort her child. Sometimes they get to the point of
becoming physical with these people. Now please explain to me…what
reason is there to get angry at these people? After all…aren’t these
women pro-choice? To be pro-choice means to be in favor of other options.
These women seem dead set on these girls having abortions and shun anyone
that tries to tell them not to. So this isn’t very caring of the
girl’s well being, nor is it giving her a choice. It’s telling her
that it’s their way or the wrong way. Or they’ll be accused of being
sell-outs to their “sisterhood”. So again, I ask you who thinks that a
political and personal agenda is not the fuel for such organizations…
then what is? It certainly isn’t for the girl’s well being nor is it
to give her more options…so what is it? Abortion
is a big money maker. Not only does it keep organizations and mouths
like those of these feminists running. It keeps many doctors in
business. I mean, abortion in the eyes of the MD is not murder….no no
this is a big money maker. According to statistics provided by the Center
for Disease Control there are approximately 10,710,052 abortions performed
a year… mostly to unmarried women between the ages of 20 and 24. Now
let’s do the math. An abortion runs about $300.00 dollars to have done.
Let’s multiply that by 10,710,052. The number we get is an astounding
$321,301,560.00. So as I said, there is much money to be made in the field
of abortion. And such doctors more than likely donate huge sums of money
to these organizations as they help to keep them in business. More and
more each day the modern Westernized feminist women are adopting these
views and becoming less and less woman and more and more Godless. They
don’t seem to realize it, but they’re just as bad, if not worse than
the groups they accuse of “pushing” their views onto the masses and
taking away “rights” as they would put it. Now
these are the women that call our beloved Muslimahs oppressed. To the
westernized feminists with your loud mouths and manly personas… With
your political agendas (wolves) disguised as caring (sheep’s
clothing)… With
your chants and protests for the “right” to kill innocence…. You
who goes outdoors leaving nothing to the imagination for the drooling
mouths and gawking eyes of those who find you to be “hot”. You
who revels in men’s whistles and hoots at you and takes them as
compliments. You
who dresses in hardly anything and gets angered when men make a comment
you find to be rude. You
who sends your daughter out looking 10years her senior and gets angry when
young men call the house looking for her. You
who gives your daughter a condom before her date “just in case” Or
takes her daughter to the pharmacy for birth control to “be on the safe
side”. You
who comes down with STD’s and AIDS and the such. Listen
and listen good. You have no right whatsoever to look at our beloved
Muslimahs and frown in seeing them as oppressed. It
is you who are oppressed. It
is you are oppressed and are a slave to the dunya. A
slave to what attention your body gets you and not what your mind has to
offer. A
slave to being one of the sheep out there that follows what is considered
to be popular opinion and not what she wants or feels for herself. A
slave to your son’s and daughters sexual desires by buying them the
tools to indulge in these desires “safely” because “kids are kids”
and “they’re gonna do it anyway.” Answer
me this Ms. Westernized Feminist. How many Muslimahs here in the U.S. have
you seen at the free clinic when you go to pick up condoms? How
many Muslimahs here in the U.S. do you think are being treated for AIDS, genital
herpes and other STD’s? How
many Muslimahs here in the U.S. do you know that have been raped, molested
or otherwise? I’m sure there are some out there… but NOWHERE near the
number of non Muslims. How
many Muslimahs do you know of that get disrespected and hit by their
children? How
many Muslimahs do you know of that put their mothers and fathers in
nursing homes the way you do? The
list could go on and on, but the point I’m trying to make is this: These
women are more free than you can even begin to fathom and you want them to
be as angry, as bitter and as unrespected as you are? I guess it’s true
when it’s said that misery loves company.
The
only advice I can offer to you is this Ms. Feminist. Rather than trying to
turn others away from the beauty of Islam, try turning yourselves away
from the ugliness that is your life and embrace the beauty that God
himself intended for you. This freedom is more than anything waving a
picket sign around will get you. And will get you more respect than if you
held the highest office in politics. We
love our women as is, and we sure as heck don’t wish for them to try and
be more manly than their husbands and fathers, nor do I think any would
want to be. So do yourself a favor and look for recruits elsewhere. Our
beloved Muslimahs have God and the Godly on their sides and are not so
easily deceived as the sheep that fall into your tar pit trap. May you find peace one day Ms. Feminist. Contact
