The worse part of the portrayal of Muslim women in popular Western culture is that they are always defined by Non-Muslim men, thus I find it laughable when they say that Muslim men control Muslim women. It is definitely NOT like that in my country, LOL. Maybe the other way around. Muslim women aren't allowed to portray themselves, according to this view, as they don't know what is best for them.
Huh?
Muslim women are individuals who should be portraying themselves as they wish to portray themselves since they know what is best for them. Men, be they Muslim or otherwise should have zero say in how a Muslim woman wishes to portray herself.
This, along with the deflection of the blame of slavery from the West (the largest criminals in this regard in history) to other civilizations (Islamic Arab or African, Non-Muslim African, Native American, etc.) is evidence of the corrupted psychological mindset of white Westerners.
Deflection? That's laughable seeing that you point blank denied that it ever existed amongst Muslims. Slavery existed amongst Africans, Muslims and the West, as well as Asia. Muslims partook in the slave trade, just as Africans did so, as did the West and Asia. To deny that your side ever did it is an insult to those who were enslaved and to their descendants.
Your calls of your "African brothers", while ignoring your own religious history in the pain caused to said African brothers is ignorant and hypocritical in the extreme. White people were not the only one's involved in the slave trade. And to then categorise everyone who dared point out your own hypocrisy when you attempted to lay blame for it solely at the feet of white Westerners is not a deflection but a reminder of your religion's role in the horror that was and is the slave trade and also a quiet reminder of your own racism. Yes, that's right, it is still practiced in some societies, including Islamic one's. You can deny it as much as you wish, it does not make it go away or disappear any faster.
For example, who are the biggest enslavers in history (Atlantic slave trade), who are the biggest murderers in history (Crusades, WW1, WW2, cold war, modern war on "terror"), who are the biggest occupiers in history (America, Australia, South Africa, Israel, etc.), and who are the only ones to use nuclear weapons on defenseless civilians (Hiroshima and Nagasaki).
Oh please. And you dare accuse others of deflection?
Muslims took part in slavery and were enslavers long before the US ever existed and way long before Australia was even discovered. Muslim also killed and slaughtered many in history and occupied other nations in history as well. When the West abolished slavery, countries in the ME refused to follow suit for many many years. And we're talking a couple of hundred years in some instances. So please, can the attempt to guilt others because of their colour.
Duplicity and deception is the result of the shame of a miserable past which exploited all the colored people of the world.
And what of the whites and Asians who were also exploited by those belonging to your religion in the past?
Shame which turns to anger at the remnants of that disgraceful past (i.e. racism against African Americans in the US).
And what of racism in Muslim countries against Asians? What of the denial of rights that still exists for those of other cultures in so called Islamic societies? No one is denying that racism is still rife in the US and in countries like the UK and Australia. At least we don't deny it exists, unlike you. You place yourself in a position of moral superiority because of your religion, blatantly ignoring the injustices that exist in your own religious society. But that's alright, isn't it? Do as I say and not as I do.
This is why it is necessary for these individuals to further the attack on all aspects of Islamic civilization, because they can't oppress a nation of good, honest people.
Which individuals?
White Westerners? Right. So when black people remind you of your own actions in history, you denigrate their ancestry and race? Oh yes, you are such a good and honest individual.
They must turn all Muslims into demons to ease their guilt of their crimes against Muslim people, just as they did to the Blacks and Native Americans, Just as they did to allow the nuclear attacks against innocent Japanese civilians, and the butchering of civilians in Vietnam.
Who is demonising all Muslims? Are you all Muslims? Am I demonising you when I remind you of your own hypocrisy and your own religious history?
Again, it is a case of do as I say and not as I do with you, isn't it?
You may not notice, but we see right through you. We aren't unaware of your motives.
What is this "we" of which you speak? You speak for all Muslims now? You speak for the Muslims in my family? Somehow I doubt it. They are educated and not ignorant of their history, nor do they attempt to deny said history as you have done. Do you know why? Because their are a product of that history and to deny its existence as you have done is to deny their own existence and their ancestry.
