On The Third Hand

A few notes taken while walking the “Arab Streets.”

Via al-Messa: “America Is Sticking Its Hands Into Boiling Oil.”

Since the events of September 11, 2001, America has conducted fierce campaigns against Muslims under the pretext that Islam is the cause of terrorism. And therefore, she spared no effort in throwing some of its believers into prison, while at the same time holding conferences in various places to show how close our cultures are. She imposes at these conferences ideas and suggestions that contradict our religion. She concentrates in particular on women’s rights and their equality with man, even in regard to inheritances!!

America does not know that Islam honors women and their situation in the loftiest way possible. And it gives them rights and advantages that American and European woman have yet to achieve.

He must be refering to the Islamic “right” of Muslim women to be the victim of an “ honor killing,” a practice that idiots like this writer have exported to Berlin. A city that has recorded six of these “advantages” in the last four months! Truth be told, it appears as though there is a “trade deficit” in these murderous acts.

LONDON (AFP) - Known cases of murder and rape committed to protect a family’s honour are on the rise across Europe, forcing police to explore the reasons behind such crimes and how to stop them, officials said.

At a two-day conference in London, British police spearheaded a campaign to fight so-called honour-based violence, typically committed against women to protect a family’s reputation.

And another Muslim right exposed. The right for it’s female population to be viewed as less important than a family’s “reputation.”

The “writer” goes on to complain at the sight of women leading men in Friday prayer.

As part of its policy of violating our religious doctrines, America and her media machine have been encouraging a new phenomenon: A woman leading men in Friday Prayer!!

America surprised us and challenged Muslim feelings by finding a woman in New York [Amina Wadud] to lead men in Friday Prayer. The woman tried to find a mosque that would permit this new innovation, but all of the mosques closed their doors to her. Initially, the churches did the same, but one of the cathedrals permitted a group of women and men to pray with them on a Friday, in an ironic scene that caused laughter and raised anger and disgust. It was literally a farcical scene!! [note: In all the online references of this event I found no such description, not surprising. - ed]

And yesterday America surprised us again, when another foolish woman, Asra Nomani, said she would lead Muslims in Friday Prayer in Boston. And after that, in San Francisco, and then Washington, and then several other states!!

And that my friends, is the best example of “self fisking” seen in months. On the one hand he claims Muslim superiority in giving females basic human rights, then goes on to belittle those women that avail themselves of the American style of femine rights.

Check the links to their names and the Boston link for background on these two brave women. They are both Islamic scholars and authors, hardly people pulled from the crowd by the American “media machine” as a publicity stunt. Also here is an excellent PBS Frontline interview with Amina Wadud.
