In Islamic culture a woman really is the ‘Nigger of the world’.


Woman is the nigger of the world

Woman is the slave of the slaves

Yes she is

think about it

Do something about it.

(John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band – 1972)

 

In Islamic societies, despite all the honeyed words of Islamic apologists, it is plain for even outsiders to see that a woman is always the property of some man or other, whether that be father, husband, brother, cousin or uncle. A woman is always ‘someone’s in the Islamic world, therefore how else can one describe that situation except for using the word ‘slavery’ and other words associated with that practise?

Just take a look at the extreme misogyny that exists in Islam. Misogyny that makes the gender separation practises of other belief systems seem very small beer indeed. Right from birth a Muslim girl is conditioned by Islam to be a slave, she is brainwashed into believing that between her legs is her family’s ‘honour’ and that her death will occur if she besmirches or is alleged to have besmirched that ‘honour’. From babyhood, Muslim girls are often wrapped from head to foot in obscuring garments to avoid inflaming the socially unchecked paedophilic tendencies of Islamic men and they are told constantly that they are someone’s property and not their own human being.

The 50% of the Islamic population that is female is not, depending on which Islamic savage country we are talking about, free to work, have an opinion, vote, be elected, drive, run businesses, or travel without a male relative as a chaperone. Often they cannot choose their life partner, choose to manage their fertility, choose where they live, choose to leave abusive families and husbands or choose to live as an independent woman.

Many or nearly all the restrictions on Muslim women were also restrictions that were placed on Black slaves in the Antebellum Southern States of the USA and in various colonial enterprises such as those in Santa Domingo, the French-run part of the island of Hispaniola. If you know your history you will know that Black slaves had very little in the way of life choices, and whether a person got a good master or a cruel one really depended to a certain extent on the luck of the draw. This is very much the position that Muslim women are in, in those benighted places and enclaves where Islam rules. In Islamic cultures women can be falsely imprisoned, beaten, burned, disfigured and sometimes killed at the whim of men, often from their own families. Is that any different from the cruelty of traditional slavery?

They are property, and they are as much slaves as those who were sold to the Transatlantic Slave traders by Arab captors prior to Britain’s banning of this wicked trade.

I make no apology for making a comparison between the plight of those who were once disparagingly called ‘niggers’, and the millions of Islamic women whose existence is little more than enslavement without physical chains.

I also make no apology for using the word ‘nigger’, even though it is a word I would not normally choose to use, because it is a word that is correctly used in this context, as there is no other faithful and accurate way to allude to just how badly Islamic women are treated in much of the world. Islamic women are enslaved and to help to free them, the use of even the worst of words is justified in order to draw attention to their plight. I long and pray for the day when every Muslim woman can cast off their hijabs, burkas, niqabs and chadors and shout ‘free at last, free at last’. I also long for the day when more first world feminists put aside their political correctness and cultural sensitivity and start to fight for and alongside those women who wish to challenge the misogyny of Islam.

And yes, we should, as the song at the head of this piece says, ‘do something about it’. To not do something about, or at least complain about, Islamic gender slavery, is to both encourage and facilitate it. To be indifferent to the plight of Muslim women is no different from being ambivalent to the mass shipment and trading of human beings that was stopped in Britain at least, in the 19th century.

Like the slavery abolitionists of old, we who are able to, should speak up for those Muslim women who are mostly voiceless, and ignore the Muslimah apologists who bang on about how it is their choice to cover themselves, but who fail to disclose that it is not Muslim women, but Muslim men who prescribe what are and are not acceptable garments for women, and who make it unsafe for women to do otherwise. Those Muslimahs who have been so debased as human beings that they embrace Islamic gyno-hatred and call it good, should not have their rancid apologia for misogyny taken the slightest bit seriously. The hijab comes from the same woman-hating theological and cultural sources as female genital mutilation and all the other abhorrent practises that women are subjected to by Muslim men.

There is no ‘Underground Railroad’ to help Muslim women to escape from the privations forced upon them by the ideology of Islam, or tell them that they can be free of domination by Allah’s cruel male submissives, but maybe there should be?

If you can do anything, anything at all to help a women escape from Islam then do it. Whether it’s writing an article, or a complaint letter to an MP, sheltering a fleeing Muslim woman, giving to a shelter that helps women getting away from Islam or whatever, just do it. Previous generations saw it as their sacred duty to free Black slaves, it is the duty of this generation to help to free Islam’s countless female slaves.
