Raising Women's Rights Slogan to Defame Islam
The following article is by Yamin Zakaria, a Columnist known for his
critical views concerning the West' cultural inroads including slogans
on Women's rights.
One in the West may look at Islam with disdain but very few can deny
what it stands for, its laws, values and ethics are clearly laid down in the
Islamic texts and the scholarly works containing the detailed legal
injunctions covering every aspect of human life. The same cannot
be said for the western form of democracy, freedom and human rights.
It means different things to different people. Is democracy the rule of
majority or the largest minority? Is it a playground for the masses to
demonstrate in huge numbers and then simply be ignored? Why does
democracy not reflect in the highest political institutions like the Untied
Nations Security Council? If democracy is the will of the majority, then
is there any limit on how that will is exercised? Can the majority decide
to exterminate or expel the minority?
The US can suspend the values of human rights under the excuse of
'self-defence' in Guantanamo Bay, then why can't other regimes apply the
same principle, so then who is a dictator and who is not? Conversely, the
Islamic penal code of capital punishment is denounced in West as inhuman,
but not the use of electric chairs to dispense the same punishment in the
US. The slogan of women's rights is often used as a political tool to
make an attack on Islam and Muslims. Islam is posing a serious challenge
to the Western values from within as it continues to gain new adherents
rapidly even in the face of a vicious campaign by the western mass
media. In the UK for example, the biggest group of neo-Muslims are
white and educated women. Demographically, the Muslim populations
are increasing due to the stable family structures and strong social values
in relation to the native population. Despite being disorganized, disunited
and lacking in material resources the Muslims activists have been able to
make significant impact in proportion to their size and effort.
Hence, the ulterior motive in raising women's rights is not to seek for the
betterment of womankind but rather to use it to discredit and attack Islamic
values and other rival ideologies.
Despite the constant lectures from the West about women's rights it is
Islam that places real value on the honour of a woman not the carnal
by motivated capitalist sentiments of the west in defending womens
rights. The degenerate behaviour of the U.S. soldiers at Baghdad
notorious Abu-Ghraib prison was expected as their sexual instincts
are constantly being agitated by the porn- obsessed society that is
constantly pushing the boundaries of their sexual practices. Ironically,
it is the same society that is calling for individuals to restraint
themselves
under the ill-defined and vague notion of women's rights.
Therefore, they relate to the opposite sex primarily at the sexual level and
consequently exhibit primitive behavior towards them, where the woman
becomes an object of pleasure. So, it was easy for the US soldiers to commit
such inhuman behavior in Abu-Ghuraib and in other parts of the world like
Japan, Vietnam, Philippines and South Korea. But how many of the western
prisoners taken captive by Saddam's men, the Iraqi resistance fighters and
the Taliban were sexually abused? Even the secularized Arab-Muslims
displayed honorable traits.
The average U.S marine exhibits certain amount of restraint in public only
due to the fear of the law rather than having a deep conviction in the
principles of women's rights. A study by the US Department of Justice
revealed that between 1993-95 there were 1.3 million rapes and sexual
assaults experienced. The survey also revealed that date rape or
acquaintance rape is constantly on the increase. So, their own statistics
reveal that given the opportunity they would commit such crimes.
Ironically, these types of people have marched into Iraq upholding
the flag of women's rights! Despite their stark statistics the Western
values and their track record are never questioned.
The so - called 'Islamic' moderates have become relatively silent as
embarrassed by the incident of Abu-Ghuraib, a product of the apex of
western democracy, confirming what the radicals were saying. Lets hope
that they are beginning to realize the truth of the implication in promoting
the western type of 'freedom' and 'democracy'!
