Feminists, who are just one arm in the multiculturalist, socialist
left establishment, are quite loud in talking about women’s
rights in the Middle East. Indeed, they are justified in complaining
about the poor treatment of women in the Middle East. Under Saddam’s
regime, his two sons would point to the women they wanted; then
rape them. Under the Islamic regime in Iran, Iranian women are hanged
for committing adultery. Feminists win over the hearts of Westerners
because all Westerners agree this type of behavior is ugly and wrong.
Westerners overwhelmingly favor peace and liberty for everybody.
But feminists are exploiting Western compassion. It is time to
pull the pants off of these beasts: they never were and never will
be in favor of women or women’s rights. Their recent response
to gang rapes in Australia reveals them for what they are.
In Sydney Australia, two men, Pakistan-born Muslims, were found
guilty of gang rapes of two teenage girls. This comes as strict
justice for a growing problem in this region. Muslim men have been
roaming Sydney gang, raping non-Muslim women, calling them "Aussie
pigs" and "sluts" who ask for it. If previous jail
sentences are any indication of their punishment, a 55 yr long jail
term is in their future as was given to Balil Skaf.
This, of course, is a victory for women’s rights. Especially
in Pakistani culture, where honor killings take place, the shame
is often placed on the rape victim not the aggressor. One would
think feminists would embrace such a court ruling.
But feminist reaction was not praise; it was hostility. Those in
the audience at the conference that announced the news cried the
convictions were “nothing but racist prosecutions.”
They were outraged over the “racism” of the strict punishments
given to the Muslims rapists.
To these feminists, protection for Muslims – to stop “racist”
comments about Muslims – out-trumps justice for rape victims.
The Anti-Discrimination Board in Australia pumped out pamphlets
chastising the media for “Anti-Muslim” bigotry –
meanwhile non-Muslim women have to worry about being brutally raped
by a gang of Muslim thugs.
Hysterics from the likes of the Anti-Discrimination Board seem
to be working: cops are now afraid to stand up to Muslim criminals.
This includes an incident when cops found three Muslims with stolen
property. They called for backup – and so did the three Muslims.
After the stand off, the final response of the cops was to order
the officers to retreat.
You may scratch your head at the actions of feminists – defending
Muslim rapists and not rape victims. Don’t. This is to be
expected. From my experience in anti-feminist activism, there is
one thing I have learned: feminists do not care about female victims
of rape, sexual assault, or domestic violence. They only embrace
these issues for propaganda reasons. Let me explain how and why
this works.
Feminists pounced on the issue of rape not because they cared about
rape victims, but because it allowed them to spread class warfare.
Erin Pizzey, the woman who started the very first woman’s
shelter and genuinely cared about victims of abuse, documents in
her work about the Marxist takeover of domestic violence shelters.
Feminists/Marxists pounced on the issue to portray men as the oppressor
and women as the oppressed.
White men as oppressors anyway. Because it has nothing to do with
who genuinely is a victim and who is the oppressor, but rather is
about what class you are in, women can easily be forgotten. If a
racial or ethnic class that the establishment gives higher priority
to is involved, women will get dismissed. Muslim men, who are a
politically protected class, are given higher status than women.
Therefore, Muslim gangs can rape white women, and the Muslim rapists
will get protection – feminists will not condemn it.
This is not an isolated case of this happening either. During the
OJ Simpson trial, the National Organization for Women - the largest,
most visible feminist organization in America - defended OJ Simpson,
a man who beat his wife for years and eventually murdered her, not
Nicole Brown Simpson. That is to say they defended the black, male
murderer not the white, female victim. It should be relatively common
knowledge now that feminists do not care about female victims of
rape or sexual/domestic violence.
Feminists are not interested in solving these issues. When you
talk to feminists, it appears as if they are actually happy when
it is proven there is more rape or sexual assault in society. Indeed,
despite all their activism in the past 30 years, they will admit
themselves that rape and violence in society has in fact increased.
Feminists utterly fail at solving these issues. You know who is
effective at solving these evils? Conservatives, especially conservative
men.
Every conservative man I know who hears of these gangs raping women
vow they would take the situation into their own hands if the law
didn’t bring justice to the rape victims. Despite feminist
activism for several years about the oppression of women in the
Middle East – under the likes of the Taliben and Sadddam Hussein
– they were utterly impotent in their ability to help Middle
Eastern women. It was conservatives, the Bush administration, with
quick, effective military action that liberated these people, including
women, from these oppressive regimes.
It’s time to take these issues regarding human rights away
from the left. They don’t deserve them. They don’t stand
for women. They don’t stand for peace. They don’t stand
for liberty. They hate George Bush more than they hate Saddam Hussein.
They like Muslim gangs better than they like non-Muslim rape victims.
Their claims that they stand for human rights, peace, and women’s
rights are just a covering.
If feminists really cared about women in the Middle East, they
would strike at the root of the problem: Islam. Despite what Shirin
Ebadi says, the problem for women in the Middle East is not “the
patriarchy”; it is Islam. Muslims are literally given a free
pass to do whatever they want – including raping women, looting
restaurants in France that sell food not approve by the Koran, etc.
Unless moral people start speaking up – not cowering in fear,
worried about being called a “racist” – this and
other issues like it (not the least of which is terrorism) literally
will mean the death of us.
