LIBERATE MUSLIM WOMEN FROM SHARIA


Mah Gul, just a 20 years old Muslim woman, was beheaded last week after she refused her mother-in-law's demand that she have sex with another man! We have a moral obligation to liberate all Muslim women, the zombies of Islam, from the yoke of Sharia.

Princess Basma Bint Saud Bin Abdulaziz, daughter of King Saud, points out Saudis lack and urgently need fundamental civil laws with which to govern their society. Princess Basma would like to see a proper constitution that treats all men and women on an equal footing before the law but that also serves as a guide to Saudi civil laws and political culture. http://venitism.blogspot.com 

Sharia teems with barbarous prescriptions that conflict with the generally accepted principles on which the Graecoroman civilization is founded, e.g. the observance of personal liberties, the equality of woman and man, or the protection of physical integrity. 

Princess Basma strongly believes that current divorce laws are abusive. Today in Saudi Arabia, a woman can ask for a divorce only if she files for Khali and Dhali. This means either she pays a big sum of money or she has to get someone to witness the reason why she is filing for a divorce - an impossible condition to fulfill given that such reasons usually are the kind that remain within the four walls of a marriage. Another way to keep a woman in the marital home against her will is the automatic granting of custody of any children over the age of six to the father in any divorce settlements. 

Sharia denies each individual his personal free choice, imposes the inequality of the sexes, exhibits absolute intolerance against the heterodox and promotes inhuman punishment. http://venitism.blogspot.com

Princess Basma points out the way women today are treated in Saudi Arabia is a direct result of the education their children, boys and girls, receive at school. The content of the syllabus is extremely dangerous. For one, Saudi young are taught that a woman's position in society is inferior. Her role is strictly limited to serving her family and raising children. They are actually taught that if a woman has to worship anyone other than God it should be her husband, that the angels will curse her if she is not submissive to her husband's needs. Girls are also strictly forbidden from taking part in any physical education. 

There are myriad incidents of violence against women and girls in Islam, but the murder of Mah is gruesome and atrocious. Only a freakish Muslim woman would insist that her son's wife prostitutes herself, and then proceed to murder that wife when she refuses.

Princess Basma laments the ministry of social affairs is tolerating cruelty towards women rather than protecting them. The only refuge homes that abused women can turn to are state ones. In these, women are continuously told that by seeking refuge they have brought shame on their families.http://venitism.blogspot.com

If they come from powerful families then they will be sent straight back to their homes in fear of the wrath of a powerful patriarch. As a result we have seen many cases of suicide by educated women, doctors and scientists who were sent back to their abusers. Princess Basma asserts Saudis need independent women's refuges where the rights of women are upheld and backed up by powerful laws that can override family traditions and protect women.

Mah lived in Herat province in southwestern Afghanistan. This was not the first time the mother-in-law had tried to force her into sex with other men. The murderer said the mother-in-law lured him into killing Gul by hoodwinking him that she was a prostitute.

Princess Basma says the ministry of social affairs not only abuses women's rights but is also one of the reasons poverty is rife in the kingdom. A corrupt system that lacks transparency has meant that more than 50% of Saudi population is poor and needy even though Saudi Arabia is one of the wealthiest countries on Earth.

First and foremost victims of Islamization are women, the zombies of Islam. Muslim women are systematically discriminated against, oppressed and molested. According to Islam, women are subordinate to men, as they owe their fathers and husbands unquestioning obedience. In Islamic tradition, the men invariably take all important decisions in the stead of their wives and daughters. Islam dictates, a man may chasten his wife in order to keep her in line.

Princess Basma laments women in Saudi Arabia cannot get around or travel without a mahram (a kind of chaperone - usually a male relative). At the time of the prophet, women used to have a man to accompany them but in those days Arabia was a desert literally full of pirates. Today the only purpose of such a law is to curtail women's freedom of movement. This not only infantilizes women but turns them unnecessarily into a burden on their men and on society. Women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to drive. 

The tragic fate of Mah is one more incident that highlights the violent atmosphere that women face in Islam. They are raped, killed, forced into marriage in childhood, prevented from obtaining an education, and denied their sexual and reproductive rights. Until basic human rights are guaranteed to women in Islam, these horrible abuses will continue to be committed.

Oppression and violence against Muslim women are commonplace. Islam is synonymous to humiliation and discrimination. Muslim women can only inherit half as much as a man. The testimony of a Muslim woman is half as trustworthy as that of a man's. Furthermore, Islam coerces females into wearing head scarves, veils, niqabs, and burqas, for women are deemed responsible for men's sexual restraint. Islam also considerably curbs women's liberty of action. Without permission of her husband a Muslim woman may not leave her dwelling. Along with Islam, savage practices such as honor killings, forced marriage, polygamy, and circumcision are making inroads into our society.

In a similar case, Afghan police rescued a teenage girl, Sahar Gul, who was beaten and locked up in a toilet for five months after she defied her in-laws who tried to force her into prostitution. Islam requires all women to dress like zombies! Veil and headscarf are not welcome in Fourth Reich (EU), because they are symbols of women's subservience, repression, incivility, and an increasingly divided Fourth Reich. Veil and headscarf make women invisible, transform women to zombies, invalidate women's participatory rights, flag women as evil temptresses, oppress women with barbarity, are brands of misogynist Islam, and are a security threat.

We condemn the gender-based violence against women that is on the rise at all levels of Egyptian society. It began in 2005 with the government's systematic campaign of sexually assaulting and intimidating female activists and journalists. When the regime attacks women and holds no one accountable, it sends out a signal that women are fair game. When the street then attacks women and the police stands by and does nothing, that continues.

A recent survey conducted by the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights showed that more than 80 percent of Egyptian women face sexual harassment, groping, and unwanted sexual attention. This is a problem the Egyptian people must not hide from. http://venitism.blogspot.com

Egyptian women are attacked by the regime, women are attacked by the street, women are attacked openly. There is something about gender-based violence in Egypt that is horrific. We have to look it in the eye and we must speak out about it, not just when it is the regime that is doing it to women, but when it's Egyptian men on the civilian level who are doing it to women.

Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of organizational climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation. I would like very much to speak at your conference in order to explain critical points much further. venitis@gmail.com
