If proponents of Sharia Law arrange nationwide Women’s Marches it is the right time to ask questions. Do organizers Linda Sarsour and Gloria Steinem possess exactly the same objectives if they raise their fists in solidarity?
It seems like the Women’s Movement, a liberation movement I have proudly embraced, is being used for something other than Women’s Rights.
Since when do legislation privileging male dominance over women belong to this struggle?
As Alternative Facts run uncontrolled, liberal values are turned upside down if Gloria Steinem increases her fist using Sarsour and Rachel Maddow buys right into Sarsour’s America becoming Islamophobic for combating Sharia Law.
Can Maddow watch Sarsour’s crude attack against Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a girl who proceeds to try to bring to light the shadowy nighttime forced upon women in countries operating under Sharia? Was Maddow aware of Sarsour’s barbarous tweets and taunts on Hirsi Ali after the film “The Honor Diaries” was released? How Hirsi Ali have to have her toenails ripped off for speaking out against genital mutilation and forced marriage, which Hirsi Ali returned and endured?
When a lady would like to dress modesty and protect her hair, there is lots of room to do that in the USA. Modesty is freely practiced. However, if a promoter of Sharia bemoans “Islamophobic” anti-Sharia legislation and Maddow cries with her, I shout over the cunning manipulation we at the free world are victim to.
It is not Islamophobic to be against Sharia any longer than it is sexist to arrest men who batter women.
The Women marched in the free world in the spirit of not going backward. Sarsour’s belief system goes backward further than the existence of the USA. Sharia law is poison for women trapped in states that purge and sit and interrogate in their minds, crush their spirit and their heads. Sharia law is legalized abuse of women and girls.
In the United States we attempt to criminalize not raise abuse towards women.
We now have legislation set up to stop and care for abused women. Battering women, rape, and clitoral mutilation and forced marriage are against the law. Women have equal rights in divorce. We do not elevate the most primitive types of sexism and flip them in to some kind of “cultural” curiosity.
Women under Sharia law are ruled by their brothers and fathers and uncles in ways American women used to having civil rights can’t envision. Accepting these unspeakable laws are not an option in Western nations where Sharia is the law. Women dressed “immodestly” are hauled off the roads and defeated. Women are stoned in public for disobeying, for instance their family, the guys. They live in fear.
There’s absolutely no choice, liberty isn’t suitable for females. For free women to carte blanche Sharia law like has a location in the women’s motion rather than anti- Sharia posters, and battling for women who can’t talk up is a disgrace. We’re aiding and abetting a hideous tradition of male dominance over millions of women and women buried alive under Sharia. We will need to talk, Hirsi Ali reminds us tirelessly, “since they can’t.”
It might appear hip and trendy and maybe even hot to have sharia observant women lay hijabs on the minds of well-meaning marchers in case it was not so excruciating and ultimately misguided. Wearing a head covering is not a big deal if it’s a decision. Being defeated, forced to pay up, possessed as property, forced into marriage and treated just like a lesser human being is a huge deal, and it is never a “choice.”
Fact is, it’s not hip trendy or humane for millions of women that are seriously profoundly and heartbreakingly oppressed by these very laws and might do anything to tear off these laws their bodies whenever they could. If they are able to talk up without having to confront consequences we at the free world do not wish to imagine, they would. In a heartbeat.
For those women marching against losing control of our lives it is absurd to allow proponents of Sharia law act as if they are leaders in Women’s Liberation.
Sharia is antithetical to liberty for women. It is about man control of each female’s life from birth to death.
You can not have it either way, liberty means option, and Sharia is anything but that.
