The following is a would be reply to Dr. Shakira
Hussein’s talk at Readings in
Carlton, on March 15, 2016, with the title “From
Victims to Suspects”…, which I was not allowed by the chairperson to
elaborate, as she considered my questions hostile and uninteresting towards
Muslim women.
In the mad world of the Taliban,
ISIS, and suicidal Islamist terror, it is not difficult for sane people to
become “paranoiacs”.

You are attempting
to hide suspicion behind the veil of victimisation whose presumed agent is
Islamophobia. The real agent, however, is your own religion that classifies
women in comparison to men as second--rate beings.
As long as Muslim
women cannot attain true femininity and banish the burqa and the hijab, symbols
of their absolute bondage to Muslim male supremacy and its sex morals, they
will have a cloud of suspicion hanging over them. As most Muslim men, if not
open supporters of Jihad, are at least justifying the actions of Jihadists,
since they believe unswervingly that all actions, no matter how atrocious,
against the Great Satan America and all other Western Nations that are in
league with it and are responsible for all the ills that have been fallen upon
Muslim countries, are justifiable. A very thin line separates justification
from Jihad and it takes only one step to be on the other side. And
since Muslim women are submissive and docile to their men, they have to abide
to the beliefs and actions of the latter. Hence, potentially, they can become
active participants in this Holy War against the West. Hence, there are solid
grounds for suspicion.
Only Muslim women
who have the moral and intellectual fortitude, like the brave and great
Somalian, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, to renounce and liberate themselves from the rigid
tenets of the Koran can remove the shadow of suspicion that are enshrouded in.
And no professed adherence to Multiculturalism and human rights can bail out
either Muslim men or women from this suspicion. What human rights would the
devotees of the Koran give to the offspring of Satan? And don’t reply to me
with the platitude that you can make distinctions among the people of the Western
world. For how can you distinguish good infidels from bad infidels?
