Women.
I
Before the advent of Islam, the pagan Arab women generally enjoyed a
respectable status in society; many of them including Khadija - the
first wife of the prophet of Islam, had the right to engage in business
and choose or dismiss their husbands in a matrilineal fashion; they
took part in most activities of war and peace including public
worship. In female oriented Arab paganism, goddesses had special
status; in Mecca, the female goddess Al-Uzza, in Taif the goddess
Al-Lat and in Medina the goddess Manat were the most popular deities,
and their statues were most revered while the statue of the stern Allah
was almost neglected.
Arab pagan poetry was mostly concerned with the beauty and grace of
their women, and the glory of their tribal values in peace and war.
And it was only in one predator tribe of Mecca that the evil custom of
burying alive of the daughters prevailed. It was highly unusual for a
man of pre-Islamic Arab society to have more than one wife in his
house; and it is quite certain that polygamy was introduced and
encouraged by the prophet after the revelation of Islam. Women were to
produce as many Muslims as possible. This ultimately resulted in the
degradation in the status of the married woman in the Islamic society.
Whereas the pre-Islamic Arab custom allowed many looser forms of
marriage on the matrilineal and matri-local tradition that gave the
woman freedom and liberty as full human being, however the artificial
rules of Islamic nikah reduced marriage to mere sexual and social
slavery.
The prophet of Islam, before prophethood, opposed the burying alive of
the newborn daughters; he was eager to work for a woman and gladly
married a divorced woman. The early Islam continued with most of the
pre-Islam tribal traditions; there were no hijabs or veils for women of
Madina; and at a later date only the nine wives of prophets were
restricted in their social intercourse as their home was constantly
full of visitors. However the prophet's women sex-slaves were not
restricted in any such manners.
Indeed, the semi-transparent half-face- veil (hijab) was actually a
very old custom originating in the Assyrian times, a status symbol and
a mark of social distinction for the free women. The pre-Islamic pagan
Arab woman of the cities often wore the fashionable semi-transparent
half-face veil but the tribal women never did.
Later, Islam added measures for "the preservation of modesty for
women" -like casting down their eyes in public, concealing their
breasts and jewellery and the likes. However, these restrictions were
later extended by the followers of the prophet far beyond his original
intentions as expressed in Koran, and remained more or less a permanent
fixture of Muslim life thereafter.
Later on, however, the insecurity of early Islam gradually added to the
exclusion of women, and 100 years later, by the reign of the Abbasid
Caliph Haroon ur Rashid, women became merely sexual toys and breeding
machines; and as married women they were merely maid servants- mere
man's social appendages. Moreover, as female sex-slaves, women were
freely bought and sold in open markets of all Islamic countries, and
loaned, rented or bestowed as gifts to friends. The prophet himself
bestowed women sex-slaves to his favourites. There was no limit to the
number of slaves one could own; one of the companions of prophet Hazrat
Zubair Ibn ul Arvan, for example, had 1000 men-slaves and 1000 women
sex-slaves. Islam took the woman as the land tilled by the man where
he spilled his seeds.
The prophet himself took part or guided nearly 100 wars or raids or
attacks for plunder. After him, his followers continued the offence.
The fierce Islamic tribal Bedouins with centuries long experience of
ruthless and cruel tribal warfare proved to be the worthwhile shock
troops of Islam. After Iraq, Syria fell to the Islamic Empire in 634
CE. Despite surrenders, great massacres took place at many places;
thousands of men were slaughtered and women and children sold into
slavery; monasteries were ransacked, monks and villagers were slain and
nuns were raped. After the conquest of Egypt, many of its towns were
put to sword and their entire population wiped out. Great massacres
also occurred in Cyprus and North Africa. The Roman province of Iraq,
the Syrian province of Iran, and the conquered Iran brought hundreds
of thousands of men-slaves, women sex-slaves, and the vast fertile
lands of these once mighty and civilized countries where the women had
been held in high respect e.g. the Manichaecian Iraq, the Pharonic
Egypt and North African Civilizations.
As in Egypt and Iran, wherever the conquering Islamic Bedouins armies
went, they destroyed the local civilization's cultures, imposed their
Islamic tribal medievalism recklessly murdering men and degrading
women to perpetual sexual slavery. In short, the Islamic tribal
Bedouins and barbarians did the same to the surrounding higher
civilizations what the Roman barbarians did to the highly civilized
ancient Greeks. Meanwhile the Islamic Bedouins continued to raid and
abduct the European women for Islamic slave markets during all these
Islamic centuries. The conquest of Syria forced the conversion of
thousands of Christian priests to Islam, who changed their religion but
not their profession: they became the stern anti-feminine Islamic
mullahs and not only continued their religious magic and rituals but
also continued the essentially Christian medievalism under Islam.
In short, as a result of these conquests, destructions and imposition
of Islamic tribal medievalism, societies under the Islamic Empire went
further than any other in their total exclusion of women from
political power and social influence. Islamic legislation went far
beyond anything the prophet had originally dreamed of in his tribal
religiosity in cheating women of their rightful place in society and in
matters of inheritance. Where originally the Koran gave women the
right of inheritance, the Islamic mullah invented the legalized
institution of Waqf- the religious foundation, to exclude the
daughters and their descendents from inheritance. Though the Koran
does give the right of inheritance to women, she continued to be a
minor; usually uneducated needing a guardian in father, husband or the
son. Indeed, the status of women in Islam is theoretically exalted but
utterly deplorable in practice.
Multiplying number of harems (residing place for the female
sex-slaves), finally institutionalised under Caliph Al-Walid II,
emphasized the inevitable degradation of womanhood under Islam. Haroon
ur Rashid, the Islamic Caliph (ruler) had 2000 female sex-slaves,
Caliph Mutwakkal had 4000 female sex-slaves; and every mullah, official
or soldier of Islamic state had some men-slaves and women sex-slaves
belonging to the conquered civilization nations. Not being allowed to
learn, experience or think for herself, it is no wonder that there are
hardly very few outstanding women in 1600 years of Islamic history, and
those who by chance or by the force of the ancient pre-Islamic customs
came into light or in the corridors of power were sooner or later
eliminated on the orders of some pious and religious Islamic mullah..
Indeed, Islam's violent anti-feminism have been as nefarious as
Christianity's burning of hundreds of thousands European women as
witches in 15th, 16th and 17th century. The female hating instruments
of the Islamic Empire, the mullahs and the Caliphs, continued to
promote degradation of women under the formal and sordid Islamic legal
code of Shariah, the final seal on the complete subjection of the
female element.. The modern history of Islam is merely the
continuation of the Islamic tribal medievalism, only the technology ,
phraseology and the façade is modern.
"Indian sub-continent suffered the humiliation and destruction under
Islam, as did Africa. The Islamic General Mohammad Bin Qasim decimated
great Buddhist and Hindu civilizations. Acting on the orders of a
representative of the Islamic Caliph, Governor Hijaj Bin Yousaf (who
was a deadly enemy of the Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Hussein's family-some
of whom have taken refuge under the Buddhist monarch Raja Dahir in
Sindh), Mohammad Bin Qasim conquered the kingdom in 712 CE. His
Islamic plunderers and looters demolished temples, shattered
sculptures, plundered palaces and killed thousands. It took his
Islamic army three days to slaughter the inhabitants of Debal, their
women and children were taken into slavery. Later on he pardoned many
prisoners and tried to establish a just rule of law which enraged the
very Islamic and murderous Governor Hijaj Bin Yousaf; therefore Qasim
again reverted to the Islamic barbarity and massacred between 6-16
thousands in Brahiminabad, their women and children were sent to Arab
Islamic slave markets.
This was the beginning of the destruction of the classical ancient
Indian civilization, and start of the medieval age of Islamic darkness
in India. The 11th century witnessed another Islamic murderer and
plunderer, Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi an agent of Islamic Caliph, who
utterly ruined the great Indian civilization and looted and plundered
most of its wealth. Fifty thousand Hindus were massacred in just one of
his attacks at Somnath; he invaded India more than 17 times. Thousands
of Hindu men and women were sent to the Islamic Afghani slave markets.
The highly cultured and civilized daughters of the noble Hindu
families were sold to the illiterate, un-cultured and barbaric
Afghanis for equivalent of just one Frank (Pound/Dollar) each. After
every Afghani Muslim had four wives each, there were lots of surplus
women left; to that the evil Islamic mullahs responded with an
ingenious translation of Koranic verses proving that Allah allowed
each Muslim to marry 18 women at a time along with an unlimited number
of women as concubines. Soon the new military instruments of the
Islamic Caliph, the Turks and the Moguls followed, decimated captured
Delhi and turned whole of India into a grand open-air slave camp.
Sultan Firoze Shah Tughlaq- an Islamic Turk ruler had 100,000
men-slaves and thousands of female sex-slaves in his harem; the pious
Islamic Mongol (Mogul) Emperor Shahjehan had 15,000 female sex-slaves
and concubines for his personal harem. Indeed, the Islamic Turk
invaders and rulers did the same in India as they did in Armenia-the
whole races of peoples were exterminated. (However, credit must be
given here to the agnostic and secular-minded, humanist Mogul Emperor
Akbar the Great who refused the title of "the King of Muslims" and
preferred to be called "the shadow of God"- for his God, he declared
(in accordance with the mind and language of his age), is the
beneficial deity and protector of all-Hindus, Muslims and other races
of humans and creatures alike. He gave up his faith in Islam and tried
his genius in creating a pluralistic religion comprising traditions of
all the prevalent religions and ideologies of India. He even invited
the Christian Jesuits priests from Goa to his
ideology-discussion-palace but could not swallow their childish
Jesus-son-of-God myth).
The medieval Islamic Empire of the Turkish Osmania Caliphate
disappeared after Axis defeat in the World War I and with the rise of
the Turkish secular hero Mustafa Kemal Pasha. However, it soon
metamorphosed into the modern Saudi Islamic spiritual Empire. It is
noteworthy that while the very Christian Holy Roman British Empire of
the West required standing armies to control the bodies of men in all
its colonies, the theocratic Saudi Islamic spiritual Empire of the East
depended on the standing army of clerics-Mullahs and Imams-stationed
in mosques to control the minds of men-the social, cultural spiritual
and psychological control. It is true that Islam dismantled the old
Arab tribal loyalties and some of its taboos and traditions; however
it created a new tribe in the name of Islam with prophet himself as
its chieftain and his family and tribe-Hashmis and Quresh acquiring an
elevated and sacred status- a replacement of old medieval tribe with a
new theocratic tribe. However, it essentially continued many of the
ancient pagan rituals of worship as well as many of its old taboos and
traditions. The tribal blood loyalties were replaced with the new
tribal religious loyalties. At intellectual level Islam is merely the
continuation of the medieval Jahiliya (Ignorance) in the holy garb of
Islam- the Islamic Jahilia (the Islamic Medieval Ignorance). Modern
Islam is, indeed, merely a continuation of that medieval tribal
ignorance and mental backwardness.
Since the advent of the Saudi oil, petrodollars started to support the
Islamic extremist movements all over the world and continue to do so.
The Saudi petrodollars have created thousands of Islamic centres for
social and political control and propaganda- the mosques-all over the
world; 1000 mosques were built in the USA only in just last few years.
Islamic brainwashing and political propaganda continues in these
mosques and madrassas-the religious schools, as well as through the
Islamic newspapers, magazines, radios and televisions. All kind of
extremist Islamic terrorism and fundamentalism emanates and flows from
the " Kernel of Evil- the Epicentre of the ugly Islamism-the Saudis".
For Allah of the Saudis makes submission to Islam obligatory for all
humans. Those who refuse their submission to Allah or differ from the
Saudi version of Islam are called the Satan's party, and must be
eliminated by Saudis or their paid and brainwashed zombies-the Muslims-
called the Allah's party. Saudi Arabia is in fact the worst example of
Islamic medievalism, and mental, social backwardness. Slavery was
legal in Saudi until 1960s when it was officially abolished on the
personal request of the non-Muslim US President J F Kennedy! However,
it continues in new names: the foreign female domestic servants-the
private property of the Islamic Bedouin barbarians. Saudi petrodollars
continue to support the extremist and fundamentalist mullahs, and
continue to lure the Islamic states into the barbarity of the Islamic
medieval Shariah laws, and the Saudis continue to spread Islamic
mullah terrorism and Islamic theocratic totalitarianism all over the
world."
Iran basically an Islamic spiritual colony, is the godfather of the
Shiite Islamic terrorism,( Saudi Sunnis are an Islamic sect like the
Christian Catholics while Shiites are like the Protestant Christians).
This Allah's government in Iran is the most evil religious state
today. Torture, murder and Islamic absolutism- an Islamic version of
Hitler's Nazism, Stalin's Communism and Mussolini's Fascism combined.
There were 5,195 political and religious executions only in 1983 alone!
Few years ago a bill was presented in Iranian Parliament asking that in
according with the tradition of Islamic prophet, marriage should be
allowed with 9 years old girl child! Human rights are definitely not
allowed to exist in the Islamic Iran, where according to the English
language Radio Iran, the Holy Spirit of imam Khomeni hovers over Iran
all the times. Women have been hanged on suspicion of sexual crimes.
Even proved virgins have been sent to gallows, however, they are
hanged only after being raped, as Iranian Islam does not allow hanging
of virgins. Iran had used its oil money in the interest of Islamic
revolutions all over the world, and continues to do so.
Algeria, known for its Islamic civil war continues with its Islamic
horrors. Islamic absolutism and totalitarianism is imposed with guns
and slaughters in the interest of religion of Islam. Men are usually
killed for their religio-political crimes while women are killed just
for the crime of being a woman in an Islamic country. Thousands were
islamically raped and more than 500 were killed only in 1993. Women
have been killed for not wearing hijab (veil) or refusing to do so
when imposed, for refusing to engage in Iranian-style temporary
marriage, for being married to foreign men, and for working and living
alone. The victims have been as young as 9 years and as old as 69
years. Women are often raped and tortured before being slaughtered.
Thousands find themselves imprisoned in Islamic camps for no
legitimate reasons. It is worth mentioning that women had a
respectable status in society before the conquest of Algeria by Islam.
Egyptians, heir to the great Pharonic and Alexandrian civilizations
continue to suffer the chronic evil of Islam. Known for the miseries
of hijab and female genital mutilation, Egypt is also a centre of
child prostitution for the wealthy Saudi Islamic Bedouins. In Egypt,
four out of five women are forced to wear some kind of hijab. Female
genital mutilation is very common; up to 73% in Cairo and 95% in rural
areas. In 1995 a shaikh (religious dignity) of Al-Azhar University
Cairo issued a fatwa (the religious decree or bill), which reportedly
announced the procedure pf Female Genital Mutilation as "laudable
practice that does honour to women"; and stating that it was, a
religious duty as important as praying to Allah.
Sudan had a long history of Islamic conquest and repression. Islamic
totalitarianism and barbarity continues to this day. Recently, Sudan
was brutalized by the Saudi-backed Gen.Numeri's Islamic fascism. In
1992 a religious decree-fatwa-was issued that gave justification to the
military onslaught against the non-Muslims. Islamic barbarism and
genocide continues in Darfur to this day.
Indonesian Islamic army mass-murdered 200,000 East Timurian non-Muslims
before East Timur got its independent. The country is known for its
extreme religiosity, corruption, ethno-religious problems and Islamic
extremism.
Pakistan, an experimental laboratory of Islam, had turned into a
horror. Notwithstanding the hundreds of thousands of rapes, abductions
and murders under the watchful eyes of the very Christian
administration of the Holy Roman British Empire at the time of
religious division of the Indian sub-continent in 1947 by the Christian
British Empire, when half a million people were forced to migrate,
Pakistan has never made any certain move towards civilization.
Pakistan is a centre of Islamic fundamentalism, extremism and
terrorism. Pakistan's very Islamic army invaded her province of East
Pakistan in 1971, killing hundreds of thousands of Bengali Muslims and
non-Muslims and raping half a million women ranging 9-69 years in age,
in its attempt to create a half breed Pak-Bengal race which would be
loyal to Islam and Pakistan. In 1974 Pakistan army invaded its
province of Baluchistan resulting in similar calamities. In 1980
Islamist General Zia ul Haq introduced further islamization under the
Saudi pressure for introduction of the medieval and tribal Islamic
Shariah.. Along with the compulsory public prayers, there were brutal
Islamic laws for the very natural sexual acts and for the presumed
blasphemy: the repressive Hudood Ordinance and the infamous Blasphemy
laws. Thousands of innocent women continue to suffer under these and
other Islamic fascist laws for mere allegations. Raped women had been
sent to gallows for the crime of being raped. (Islamic Shariah is the
only system of law, which punishes the victims: Fatemollah). Pakistani
state has proved to be a willing and sinister instrument of the evil
Islamic mullah fascism and terrorism. Pakistan created the hated
Afghan Taliban and many other such organizations in Afghanistan.
Similar organizations continue to flourish in Pakistan and try to
create a totalitarian and fascist Islamic state. Despite all tall
claims of fight against Islamic terrorism, the evil continues to
flourish. Pakistan is undoubtedly a major source of supply for the
Iraqi terrorism. Illicit drug trade continues with the blessings of
the Islamic mullahs and the ISI (the Islamic Military Intelligence).
There are Islamic prostitution centres in every Islamic city of the
Islamic Pakistan where abducted and non-Muslim women are forced to
suffer. The secular, liberal and rationalist intellectuals continue to
suffer in Pakistan like the victims of the infamous Christian
inquisition of medieval Europe. While the Christian churches burnt the
heretics, Islamic mullahs get them indicted for Blasphemy.
Eternal vigilance is the price of civilization.
While fundamentalism, superstition, ignorance, lack of human rights,
female genital mutilations, forced seclusion of women within their
houses and in their hijabs; religious extremism, fundamentalism,
suicide-bombing and Islamic terrorism continue to be the hallmarks of
the Muslim states and societies under the influence of the Saudi
Islamic Spiritual Empire of the petro-dollars or Iranian Shiite area
of influence under its Shiite oil-money; it is high time for the
civilized world to wake-up from the stupor of multi-culturism and
blind tolerance of the organized intolerance; for the disease is
spilling herein already. Many of the acts of the Islamic states and
societies, organizations and individuals are barbaric and medieval;
the beheading of the innocent hostages, death penalties and murders for
religious reasons; chopping of hands and feet; stoning to death of
women for getting raped or on accusation of natural sexual
intercourse; honor-killing on mere suspicion, suicide-bombings and acts
of terrorism; these are indicative of a deep-seated disease. Murder on
the name of a merciful Allah is mere hypocrisy.
The rise of Saudi-sponsored extremist Islam is a danger to
civilization everywhere. All extremist Muslims are potential
terrorists and Allah's soldiers. There should be no tolerance for this
religiously organized intolerance against liberalism, human rights and
women's equal status and other manifestations of our civilization.
Muslims in civilized and democratic societies should be required to
take the oath of loyalty to the state and democracy. Political right
to vote to those whose political loyalties are located in some far off
desert is not only harmful but also suicidal for the state as well as
for the very ideology and system of democracy. Political right to vote
for those who wish to destroy the very system of democracy? Think
again, Ladies and gentlemen.
There is no place for optimism for a liberal Islam. Nearly all Islamic
states and states have failed to appreciate the basic human rights of
their people, their women and their minorities. Saudis and Emirates
are the worst offenders; and are the financial godfathers of
fundamentalism, extremism and Islamic backwardness everywhere.. Nearly
every Islamic country is dangerous not only for itself but for the
world as a whole. Pakistan, for example, after supplying Iran and with
Korea with nuke-secrets continues to offer the dangerous technology;
Vietnam and Brazil are the new customers. The nuke-terrorist Dr. Abdul
Qadir Kahn is safe, well protected and facilitated by the State of
Pakistan, with full impunity, of course.
You civilized people! Yesterday you refused to acknowledge the dangers
inherent in the rise of the Christian Nazi and Communist ideologies.
Yesterday you supported Islamic Taliban even when they trampled rights
of their women under their feet. Your refusal to confront militant
Islam today may cost us more dearly than our individual lives-our
cherished achievement -our civilization. Beliefs have consequences-the
centrality of Islam to mental, social, intellectual and cultural
backwardness; organized offences against women and minorities;
fundamentalism, extremism and modern terrorism are impossible to deny.
"Religions of peace and tolerance" are mere empty words.
Islam is an organized crime against humanity!

Jesus-son-of-God myth).
The medieval Islamic Empire of the Turkish Osmania Caliphate
disappeared after Axis defeat in the World War I and with the rise of
the Turkish secular hero Mustafa Kemal Pasha. However, it soon
metamorphosed into the modern Saudi Islamic spiritual Empire. It is
noteworthy that while the very Christian Holy Roman British Empire of
the West required standing armies to control the bodies of men in all
its colonies, the theocratic Saudi Islamic spiritual Empire of the East
depended on the standing army of clerics-Mullahs and Imams-stationed
in mosques to control the minds of men-the social, cultural spiritual
and psychological control. It is true that Islam dismantled the old
Arab tribal loyalties and some of its taboos and traditions; however
it created a new tribe in the name of Islam with prophet himself as
its chieftain and his family and tribe-Hashmis and Quresh acquiring an
elevated and sacred status- a replacement of old medieval tribe with a
new theocratic tribe. However, it essentially continued many of the
ancient pagan rituals of worship as well as many of its old taboos and
traditions. The tribal blood loyalties were replaced with the new
tribal religious loyalties. At intellectual level Islam is merely the
continuation of the medieval Jahiliya (Ignorance) in the holy garb of
Islam- the Islamic Jahilia (the Islamic Medieval Ignorance). Modern
Islam is, indeed, merely a continuation of that medieval tribal
ignorance and mental backwardness.
Since the advent of the Saudi oil, petrodollars started to support the
Islamic extremist movements all over the world and continue to do so.
The Saudi petrodollars have created thousands of Islamic centres for
social and political control and propaganda- the mosques-all over the
world; 1000 mosques were built in the USA only in just last few years.
Islamic brainwashing and political propaganda continues in these
mosques and madrassas-the religious schools, as well as through the
Islamic newspapers, magazines, radios and televisions. All kind of
extremist Islamic terrorism and fundamentalism emanates and flows from
the " Kernel of Evil- the Epicentre of the ugly Islamism-the Saudis".
For Allah of the Saudis makes submission to Islam obligatory for all
humans. Those who refuse their submission to Allah or differ from the
Saudi version of Islam are called the Satan's party, and must be
eliminated by Saudis or their paid and brainwashed zombies-the Muslims-
called the Allah's party. Saudi Arabia is in fact the worst example of
Islamic medievalism, and mental, social backwardness. Slavery was
legal in Saudi until 1960s when it was officially abolished on the
personal request of the non-Muslim US President J F Kennedy! However,
it continues in new names: the foreign female domestic servants-the
private property of the Islamic Bedouin barbarians. Saudi petrodollars
continue to support the extremist and fundamentalist mullahs, and
continue to lure the Islamic states into the barbarity of the Islamic
medieval Shariah laws, and the Saudis continue to spread Islamic
mullah terrorism and Islamic theocratic totalitarianism all over the
world."
Iran basically an Islamic spiritual colony, is the godfather of the
Shiite Islamic terrorism,( Saudi Sunnis are an Islamic sect like the
Christian Catholics while Shiites are like the Protestant Christians).
This Allah's government in Iran is the most evil religious state
today. Torture, murder and Islamic absolutism- an Islamic version of
Hitler's Nazism, Stalin's Communism and Mussolini's Fascism combined.
There were 5,195 political and religious executions only in 1983 alone!
Few years ago a bill was presented in Iranian Parliament asking that in
according with the tradition of Islamic prophet, marriage should be
allowed with 9 years old girl child! Human rights are definitely not
allowed to exist in the Islamic Iran, where according to the English
language Radio Iran, the Holy Spirit of imam Khomeni hovers over Iran
all the times. Women have been hanged on suspicion of sexual crimes.
Even proved virgins have been sent to gallows, however, they are
hanged only after being raped, as Iranian Islam does not allow hanging
of virgins. Iran had used its oil money in the interest of Islamic
revolutions all over the world, and continues to do so.
Algeria, known for its Islamic civil war continues with its Islamic
horrors. Islamic absolutism and totalitarianism is imposed with guns
and slaughters in the interest of religion of Islam. Men are usually
killed for their religio-political crimes while women are killed just
for the crime of being a woman in an Islamic country. Thousands were
islamically raped and more than 500 were killed only in 1993. Women
have been killed for not wearing hijab (veil) or refusing to do so
when imposed, for refusing to engage in Iranian-style temporary
marriage, for being married to foreign men, and for working and living
alone. The victims have been as young as 9 years and as old as 69
years. Women are often raped and tortured before being slaughtered.
Thousands find themselves imprisoned in Islamic camps for no
legitimate reasons. It is worth mentioning that women had a
respectable status in society before the conquest of Algeria by Islam.
Egyptians, heir to the great Pharonic and Alexandrian civilizations
continue to suffer the chronic evil of Islam. Known for the miseries
of hijab and female genital mutilation, Egypt is also a centre of
child prostitution for the wealthy Saudi Islamic Bedouins. In Egypt,
four out of five women are forced to wear some kind of hijab. Female
genital mutilation is very common; up to 73% in Cairo and 95% in rural
areas. In 1995 a shaikh (religious dignity) of Al-Azhar University
Cairo issued a fatwa (the religious decree or bill), which reportedly
announced the procedure pf Female Genital Mutilation as "laudable
practice that does honour to women"; and stating that it was, a
religious duty as important as praying to Allah.
Sudan had a long history of Islamic conquest and repression. Islamic
totalitarianism and barbarity continues to this day. Recently, Sudan
was brutalized by the Saudi-backed Gen.Numeri's Islamic fascism. In
1992 a religious decree-fatwa-was issued that gave justification to the
military onslaught against the non-Muslims. Islamic barbarism and
genocide continues in Darfur to this day.
Indonesian Islamic army mass-murdered 200,000 East Timurian non-Muslims
before East Timur got its independent. The country is known for its
extreme religiosity, corruption, ethno-religious problems and Islamic
extremism.
Pakistan, an experimental laboratory of Islam, had turned into a
horror. Notwithstanding the hundreds of thousands of rapes, abductions
and murders under the watchful eyes of the very Christian
administration of the Holy Roman British Empire at the time of
religious division of the Indian sub-continent in 1947 by the Christian
British Empire, when half a million people were forced to migrate,
Pakistan has never made any certain move towards civilization.
Pakistan is a centre of Islamic fundamentalism, extremism and
terrorism. Pakistan's very Islamic army invaded her province of East
Pakistan in 1971, killing hundreds of thousands of Bengali Muslims and
non-Muslims and raping half a million women ranging 9-69 years in age,
in its attempt to create a half breed Pak-Bengal race which would be
loyal to Islam and Pakistan. In 1974 Pakistan army invaded its
province of Baluchistan resulting in similar calamities. In 1980
Islamist General Zia ul Haq introduced further islamization under the
Saudi pressure for introduction of the medieval and tribal Islamic
Shariah.. Along with the compulsory public prayers, there were brutal
Islamic laws for the very natural sexual acts and for the presumed
blasphemy: the repressive Hudood Ordinance and the infamous Blasphemy
laws. Thousands of innocent women continue to suffer under these and
other Islamic fascist laws for mere allegations. Raped women had been
sent to gallows for the crime of being raped. (Islamic Shariah is the
only system of law, which punishes the victims: Fatemollah). Pakistani
state has proved to be a willing and sinister instrument of the evil
Islamic mullah fascism and terrorism. Pakistan created the hated
Afghan Taliban and many other such organizations in Afghanistan.
Similar organizations continue to flourish in Pakistan and try to
create a totalitarian and fascist Islamic state. Despite all tall
claims of fight against Islamic terrorism, the evil continues to
flourish. Pakistan is undoubtedly a major source of supply for the
Iraqi terrorism. Illicit drug trade continues with the blessings of
the Islamic mullahs and the ISI (the Islamic Military Intelligence).
There are Islamic prostitution centres in every Islamic city of the
Islamic Pakistan where abducted and non-Muslim women are forced to
suffer. The secular, liberal and rationalist intellectuals continue to
suffer in Pakistan like the victims of the infamous Christian
inquisition of medieval Europe. While the Christian churches burnt the
heretics, Islamic mullahs get them indicted for Blasphemy.
Eternal vigilance is the price of civilization.
While fundamentalism, superstition, ignorance, lack of human rights,
female genital mutilations, forced seclusion of women within their
houses and in their hijabs; religious extremism, fundamentalism,
suicide-bombing and Islamic terrorism continue to be the hallmarks of
the Muslim states and societies under the influence of the Saudi
Islamic Spiritual Empire of the petro-dollars or Iranian Shiite area
of influence under its Shiite oil-money; it is high time for the
civilized world to wake-up from the stupor of multi-culturism and
blind tolerance of the organized intolerance; for the disease is
spilling herein already. Many of the acts of the Islamic states and
societies, organizations and individuals are barbaric and medieval;
the beheading of the innocent hostages, death penalties and murders for
religious reasons; chopping of hands and feet; stoning to death of
women for getting raped or on accusation of natural sexual
intercourse; honor-killing on mere suspicion, suicide-bombings and acts
of terrorism; these are indicative of a deep-seated disease. Murder on
the name of a merciful Allah is mere hypocrisy.
The rise of Saudi-sponsored extremist Islam is a danger to
civilization everywhere. All extremist Muslims are potential
terrorists and Allah's soldiers. There should be no tolerance for this
religiously organized intolerance against liberalism, human rights and
women's equal status and other manifestations of our civilization.
Muslims in civilized and democratic societies should be required to
take the oath of loyalty to the state and democracy. Political right
to vote to those whose political loyalties are located in some far off
desert is not only harmful but also suicidal for the state as well as
for the very ideology and system of democracy. Political right to vote
for those who wish to destroy the very system of democracy? Think
again, Ladies and gentlemen.
There is no place for optimism for a liberal Islam. Nearly all Islamic
states and states have failed to appreciate the basic human rights of
their people, their women and their minorities. Saudis and Emirates
are the worst offenders; and are the financial godfathers of
fundamentalism, extremism and Islamic backwardness everywhere.. Nearly
every Islamic country is dangerous not only for itself but for the
world as a whole. Pakistan, for example, after supplying Iran and with
Korea with nuke-secrets continues to offer the dangerous technology;
Vietnam and Brazil are the new customers. The nuke-terrorist Dr. Abdul
Qadir Kahn is safe, well protected and facilitated by the State of
Pakistan, with full impunity, of course.
You civilized people! Yesterday you refused to acknowledge the dangers
inherent in the rise of the Christian Nazi and Communist ideologies.
Yesterday you supported Islamic Taliban even when they trampled rights
of their women under their feet. Your refusal to confront militant
Islam today may cost us more dearly than our individual lives-our
cherished achievement -our civilization. Beliefs have consequences-the
centrality of Islam to mental, social, intellectual and cultural
backwardness; organized offences against women and minorities;
fundamentalism, extremism and modern terrorism are impossible to deny.
"Religions of peace and tolerance" are mere empty words.
Islam is an organized crime against humanity!
