  1. The extremist cabal representing this kind thinking - that sexual desire (lust) is sinful and it is the woman who excites "impure" thoughts in man and therefore the woman has to be chastised, controlled, locked up, covered up and punished for all instances of Zina ('fornication') - or for creation of circummstances that can remotely lead to Zina represents the majority of Muslims. They simply do no concede woman's God given right of liberty, of control over one's own body and the freedom to be left alone and will have to be, sooner or later,confronted, perhaps violently. You cannot reason with them; insofar as they practice the principles of the Ahadith (while preaching primacy of the Quran), they are hypocrites but will not concede that. They will call you an apostate and kafir and will loudly proclaim your inevitable consignment to hell because God has sealed your heart and has drawn a curtain over your eyes because, "God guides whom He will and misguides whom He will! Tell me, what sayest thee?

  2. >>>>>>>>>>> It is convenient to blame Wahhabi ideology and wash off our hands
    roots of the problem and bring about a lasting solution.<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    What do you think is the "root of the problem", Mike?

    Read this article together with pervez Hoodbhoy's article on Saudiisation, that
    Prof. Farida Majid posted yesterday. The proof is overwhelming about the "root
    of the problem".

    To eliminate the root, I don't think anyone has clear solutions. May be during
    your brain storming session of Jan 24 on genocides, you should invite solutions on this topic as well. Afterall, what is being done in the name of Islam by these ideologues is nothing short of a genocide - timeless and boundaryless.


  3. Najid,

    I will read both the articles you have suggested and would re-evaluate my supposition.

    People are always scanning to anchor their frustrations of injustice, voicelessness and their inability to fulfill their role of a traditional man of the house onto some activity where they can succeed. The easy way out is to take it out on their women, the very women whom they are to protect.


    We need to do the research to find out what germinates it. The abuse of women continues in the most civilized societies as well as the traditional sub-societies where the culture of men is to be the providers and women to be the nurturers.

    What is your take on this?

    Indeed, the Holocaust and Genocides event is planned to bring to the fore, what can we learn and do as ordinary folks to prevent the Massacres and Genocides of the kind that happened in Gujarat and happening in Darfur.

    I invite a paper on each Genocide/ Massacre coupled with simple ideas.
