Women’s Freedom in the West Or
It is Men’s Freedom from Financial Burden?
By: Jacqueline Waheed
A former Christian reverted to Islaam.
Using the power of propaganda, spin doctors and
pseudo-events; West has quite successfully deceived most of the world about
their alleged “women’s freedom.” Under the disguise of “Democracy”
Judeo-Christian” fundamentalism has never been so successful with a flavor of
so-called “secularism.” But are the women in the West free or it is the men who
got the freedom from financial burden, in the West? The fact of the matter is
that Western propaganda and its spin doctors have painted a rosy picture of
women’s freedom using fancy words and phrases to allude the naïve and ignorant
that Western way is the “panacea” of women’s liberation and all other
social problems. However, reality is other way around West is in fact,
responsible of shattering the family and ruining all social and moral values.
Historically Jews and Christians have always been famous
for their moral decline and greed. Since the Bible in
fact is anti-women,
only treating women as sex object; and not being a source of material gain.
Therefore, historically the Jews and Christians have looked upon women as
financial burden, as Bible teaches that daughters are not only less worth than
sons, but also even less worth than servants.
Responsibility of Adam’s [AS] sin for eating the forbidden
fruit and all the consequences thereafter is laid upon Eve, making women the
fountainhead of all sins and faults. Jews and Christians have always considered
Eve to be Satan’s instrument that she alone is guilty of Adam’s slip and
because of women Adam was deprived of an eternal life in Paradise. Thus, under
the pretext of “women’s freedom” the Jude-Christian men have gotten the freedom
from the financial burden (of women).
A
QUEER Philosophy of The Western Civilization!
A strange philosophy has been IMPOSED on the minds of people with the
power of propaganda that it is a matter of confinement and disgrace for a woman
to discharge “household” duties in her house for the sake of her husband, parents,
brothers and sisters and her children. On the other hand if the same woman
cooks food for strange persons, serves them as waitress or hostess in
restaurants, hotels, ships, airplanes etc., while attracting customers in
shops, restaurants, hotels, bars etc. with her smiles and serving her bosses in
offices with humble submissions, then all this means freedom and honor for her.
How sad!
It is the greatest irony of fate that even after discharging
disgraceful and hard duties for earning a living, the woman has NOT been
relieved of the duties of her household affairs, which still remains on her
weak shoulders. In Europe and America the majority of women, after their
outdoor duties have on arriving home, to perform the duties of cooking food,
washing dishes, doing laundry, and doing sanitary work in their homes.
Is the half population idle?
In support of the action of driving women out of their houses for
outdoor work, a routine argument is put forward that we cannot let half of our
population idle in a period of nation building and development.
This
argument is submitted with such gusto as if by providing employment to all
laborers, they have reached the final limit of employment at least to the
extent of the male population. Now we have reached, so to say, a stage in which
not only is everyone employed, but also vast vacancies (job openings) are
waiting for the available manpower in the country. However, in fact, what we
see is alarming unemployment, broken families, single parenthood, and shattered
lives as the hallmark of this myth.
This has shattered the entire family system in the West!
Let
us examine what Church Fathers have said:
Tirtulion
once addressed women, saying:
“Do you not know that all of you are the daughters of Eve and therefore, God’s judgment regarding you is also valid today. Your sin also continues to remain. Your are the door for Satan, you were the ones eating from the forbidden fruit, you were the first ones to disobey the Lord, and to discard the divine commandment so easily.”
At
another place Tirtulion said,
“She is Devil’s door. She was the
one to stretch out her hand to the forbidden fruit, she broke the Divine law,
she provoked man against God, and she is the one ruined man.”
Chrysosten,
another Christian scholar says:
“Woman is a never ending evil, an
evil inspiration from her very birth on, a pleasant catastrophe, a
danger to every household, a means of ruin, a way of ill fate.”
St. Bernard: Woman is the weapon of Devil.
St. Anthony: Woman is a mine of devil’s arm.
St. Bonaventer: Woman is a scorpion, always ready to sting. She is the Devil’s spear.
St. Cireen: Woman is that weapon which the devil uses to take possession of our souls.
St. Gerome: Woman is the door of the Devil and the sting of the scorpion.
St. John of Damascus: Woman is the daughter of dishonesty; she is a soldier of hell and an enemy of peace. Man has lost heaven because of her and of all wild animals she is the most dangerous.
St. Gregory: A woman possesses the poison of a snake and malice of a dragon.
In one of the convention of Christian clerics in the year 582 C. E. under the superintendence of Makooh was decided that a woman does not possess a soul which could attain salvation, rather that she does not have a soul at all.
Has anything changed, the obvious
answer is no, except that men got the freedom from financial
burden of women. Now in the West women is a source of fulfillment of lust,
while majority of women is serving men in all forms and all walks of life not
to mention taking care of men financially to please many men and
keep them around. Contrary to Judaism and
Christianity, in Islaam men are responsible
for women while Islaam allows conditional
polygyny. I have many reasons to leave
Christianity and revert
to Islaam. Treatment of women is one of the main reasons; for example, in
Christianity woman cannot speak in the Church, women do not have inheritance
right. In Islaam, women can speak in the Masjid and
can argue with the Prophet of Islaam [Muhammad صلى الله
عليه وسلم.] for her case to be
heard. The Divine Decree in the Glorious Qur’aan {58:1} protects these rights,
قَدْ
سَمِعَ اللَّهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِي تُجَادِلُكَ فِي زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِي إِلَى اللَّهِ
وَاللَّهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ
Indeed
Allah has heard the statement of her (Khaulah bint Thalabah) that disputes with
you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning her husband (Aus bin AsSamit), and complains to
Allah. And Allah hears the argument between you both. Verily, Allah is
All-Hearer, All-Seer.
In conclusion, I
would like Judeo-Christian women to reflect on this and ponder upon whether
they really have freedom, rights, respect, status
and most importantly peace of mind? Or it that, men have gotten rid of their
financial responsibility (you) and make you work for yourself and
for the men [both], not to mention placing you [women] everywhere to please
their eyes and to fulfill their lust. Do you really have freedom
or you are simply a sex object and a drive through of men’s lust under
the disguise of so-called freedom?
