Rambo Saves a Muslim Woman
Peace be upon you
Dear brothers and sisters
imagine yourself living with your spouse
in a relationship with its ups and downs
The Quran is your reference
you follow it sometimes
and turn away from it other times
You know that the solution
lies within its pages
yet ignorance and desires hold you back
You have an alcoholic neighbor who beats
his wife, until her screams are heard
Sometimes, his wife drinks alcohol
and smokes weed with him
His friends cross all lines of decency
with her, with or without her consent
The bad neighbor doesn't stop them
Even if he tries, he cannot!
Coincidentally, you have a godless
relatives working for this neighbor
Let's call this godless relative
"Gorel" for short
The neighbor, with Gorel's help
climbs up to your roof
and steals from your water tank
One day you and your spouse
have a fight and your voices rise
Your drunk neighbor enters
with a glass of wine in one hand
and a glass of water
which he stole from you, in the other
What does this bad neighbor want?
The neighbor: "I heard your screams
my dear lady
and Gorel told me that you need me
so I rushed to rescue you
and serve you water."
This neighbor has suddenly transformed
into "Rambo"!
For those of you who don't know
who Rambo is
he is an American action hero
glamorized for the youth of my generation
Brothers and sisters!
Did you watch the last episode entitled:
"Liberation of the Western Woman"?
Did you hear the facts and official
statistics on the status of Western women
How they have been exploited to further
the goals of policymakers and capitalists
and how they became victims
of promiscuity and barbaric violence?!
Imagine now: Those who abuse women
and humiliate them in the West
come to our countries
like Rambos
with the mission of
"Saving the Muslim Woman"!
How?
By eliminating all forms of
"discrimination" against women,
destroying the concept of Qiwamah
(men's authority and responsibility towards women),
equating women to men in inheritance,
and granting women sexual freedom
Dear brothers and sisters!
Some women in the Muslim world are
indeed exposed to many forms of injustice
But is the solution to have a valid Divine
Legislation with justice for everyone?
Or is the solution really with Rambo?!
In this episode, we will see
what Rambo and Gorel propose
and what they demand from the woman
in return for the glass of water
Then we will ask Rambo four questions
to check his qualifications
for the mission of saving women
If he is qualified, fine
If not, we search for the right solution
In 1979, the UN General Assembly
adopted a treaty entitled:
"The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms
of Discrimination Against Women", CEDAW
which most countries signed successively
including countries of the Muslim world
Some countries expressed reservations
on certain articles of CEDAW
The funny thing
is that the USA
who signed the convention
and who promotes its
imposition upon the Muslim world
hasn't ratified CEDAW, thus far
40 years after its adoption!
Although the US ratification of CEDAW
has been discussed many times
the discussions always end up
with the refusal to ratify CEDAW
the refusal to enact it into law
despite the criticism the USA faces from
Amnesty International and others!
But why?
Who's preventing its ratification?
It is the conservative politicians
and religious leaders
who argue that the treaty
is at best unnecessary
and at worst
subjects the US
to the whims of an international agency
(the UN)
They literally say, "subjects the US to
the whims of an international agency"
According to the American
Political Science Association, APSA,
"Republican Party leaders and
conservative women's organizations
have adamantly opposed
ratification of CEDAW
on the grounds that it would allow the UN
to dictate American policy
toward women and families,
and would require the US to adopt policies
that most Americans do not support."
Moreover, on CEDAW
the American Senator Jesse Helms said,
"It is a bad treaty
it is a terrible treaty,
negotiated by radical feminists,
with the intent of enshrining
their radical anti-family agenda."
To this day, the loudest voices in the US
are those who say,
"We won't risk America's future
for the whims of the UN
and the feminists who want to destroy
the family unit."
But when it comes to the Muslim world
the convention and the "whims of the UN"
must be forcibly applied!
A UN committee was formed to monitor
the implementation of CEDAW
which has evolved into a "religion"
to be imposed upon the world
especially the Muslim world
You may already know that
all the forts of Muslim societies
have been destroyed:
The central role of the mosque,
the educational system,
the curriculums,
and the media,
have all been destroyed
The only fort still standing is
the most important one: The family fort
What is happening now?
"The term CEDAW has become overused
and is raising the alarm
with those fully aware
of the treaty's contents
so we won't use it too much
Instead, we will work on executing
CEDAW's terms quietly and patiently
We will use captivating words:
'Women's Empowerment'
We will highlight horrible
distorted examples
of injustice to women
in the Muslim world
to stereotype our critics
and frame them as supporters of male
supremacy and the oppression of women
If you do not support our work on behalf
of women, you must be against us
You are for oppressing, persecuting,
battering, subjugating
and depriving women of their rights."
For example, last year UN Women
published an article titled:
"Women's Economic Empowerment"
The article discusses the Middle East
and North Africa regions
i.e. Arab and Muslim peoples
and demands equality between
men and women in inheritance
Among its so-called list of
"tragedies" suffered by women
is that "only a percentage" of women
engaged in illicit affairs
can enjoy sexual freedom
in their relationships
i.e. the rest don't have
sexual "freedom" outside of marriage
"So how can we tempt Muslims to accept
CEDAW without mentioning its name?"
Enter the foreign organizations:
the Rambos!
who offer grants to Muslim
countries under the title of:
"Woman Empowerment"
There are so many of these entities
some even in Eastern countries like Japan
Any local authority in the Muslim world
wishing to avail itself of these grants
has to meet certain goals
Of course, these goals are
the exact milestones for CEDAW
removing the need to mention
CEDAW by name
In other words, they resort to
the "slippery slope" principle
"No matter how much
we embellish our agenda
some Muslims might
still regard it as an intrusion
which contradicts
their religion and morals."
Enter Gorel!
who will play the role of
imploring help from Rambo
"O Rambo! Help us!
Women in our countries are oppressed!"
Rambo charges to the rescue
carrying the glass of water
and opening his arms wide to receive
the "persecuted" Muslim woman!
In return, Gorel must submit a report
every four years
to the committee monitoring
the implementation of CEDAW in the UN
If the committee is unhappy
with the pace of implementing CEDAW
it will send its INTERROGATIONS
to the country falling behind
Do you still discriminate in inheritance?!
Is it true that a woman
still needs a guardian
to approve her marriage in your country?!
Is it true that a woman's sexual freedom
is criminalized and considered illicit?!
They call them interrogations
in order to frame these practices
as "accusations" that countries
have to exonerate themselves from
In fact, the "UN Women Watch"
office was setup
to monitor the status of women globally
with a special focus on Muslim women
of course
giving Rambo a guarantee that the Muslim
woman will run into his open arms
away from her "evil" husband or father
Dear viewers, it is very important to know
that the transparency of these foreign
organizations and local Gorels
in implementing CEDAW
depends on the local environment
of each Muslim country
If its people are asleep
with no idea of what's going on
the country's reservations
will be quietly withdrawn
without anyone noticing
Rambo will then openly demand
the implementation of CEDAW
However, in countries where there's
some resistance left
Rambo will patiently give Gorel a chance
to lay the groundwork
What you see happening in the
countries rushing towards Rambo
is what you should expect to see
soon in conservative countries
if reformers' voices are hushed and
people become heedless of what's happening
Rambo's attention is now
heavily focused on Palestine
In 2014,
Palestine's "representatives" to the UN
signed CEDAW without any reservations
Without any reservations!
Bear in mind that the Zionist entity
the so-called "State of Israel"
still has reservations
on several CEDAW articles
and hasn't implemented them for religious,
cultural, and civilizational reasons
just like the USA
Well, representatives from Palestine
did sign without reservation
This will encourage the foreign
organizations to raise their expectations
and increase their demands
In other countries
you will find these very organizations
careful to avoid hurting the public's
feelings and clashing with their beliefs
until the appropriate climate is created
and the right public opinion is formed
Greater demands?
Like what?
Like the joint report published last year
by international and
local organizations in Palestine
which recommends an accelerated
implementation of CEDAW, as follows:
• Repeal article 284 prohibiting zina
(illicit sex under Islamic law)
• Legalize abortion (facilitate illicit
sex by removing undesired outcomes)
Do not forget our discussion on abortion
from the previous episode.
• Allow them (women) to register
their children (newborns)
under a family name of their choice
...without the requirement
of a marriage certificate
Thus, there is no need for a woman
to prove that she is married
and she can put down a family name
of her choice
• Condemn publicly all threats
and acts of violence
against lesbian, bisexual and queer women
• Raise the minimum age of marriage to 18
• Ensure that women have equal rights
with men (i.e. cancel Qiwamah)
in relation to marriage,
divorce...and inheritance
• Publish the CEDAW text
in the Official Gazette
which would make it binding
as domestic law
In other words: facilitate various
forms of religious prohibitions,
inhibit what is religiously permissible
and fragment families!
The report further recommends that
Palestine submits a progress report
to the CEDAW committee every two years
instead of the standard 4-year
reporting period for the rest of the world
Is it really possible that such
recommendations will be implemented?!
Let's watch this example of an
UN-backed representative for Palestine
Interviewer: "Let's discuss
your idea of using sports
to spread global awareness
of the Palestinian issue. Is it true?"
Guest: "Sure,
Why not?
Which is better: to be seen
with covered faces or with shorts?
For our girls to be seen all covered
in hijab (modest clothing)
or to be seen bare-legged playing sports?"
Interviewer: "You mean football, right?"
Guest: "I think this is important
Sports in Palestine is not only
for athletic achievement purposes
but also to achieve a political purpose."
In a country neighboring Palestine
the local European coordination
agency issued a report
criticizing the exclusion of
non-married intimate partners
from the definition of "family members"
In other words
couples living in sin should be allowed
to register themselves as a family
as they do in Western countries
The report also condemned marriage
for girls under the age of 18
and denounced social discrimination
against homosexuals
What is even more astounding
is that the report expressed dismay with
the treatment of sex workers (prostitutes)
After discussing the aggression against
homosexuals, the report states,
"Prostitution faces the same issues
because the taboos
surrounding this subject
prevent local organizations
from adopting this issue
despite the high levels
of harassment and abuse
constantly faced by sex workers."
Sex workers!
Aha!
You want this country
to become like Germany
with its "400,000 prostitutes catering to
1 million men a day"
as per The Economist
Of course, all this language
in their reports
is presented in the context of addressing
other REAL problems facing women:
such as refugee women fleeing wars,
women with special needs,
and women facing injustice, subjugation,
abuse and violence, etc.
as a way of mixing truth with falsehood
Dear viewers, we have yet to talk about
Rambo's bargain with women:
the price for Rambo's glass of water
in terms of religious, moral
and political concessions
For example, in Palestine,
some aid agencies require women
to sign documents condemning legitimate
resistance of the Occupation
as a condition of the grant
Rabiha Diab, Minister of Women’s Affairs
described such aid as
"A blatant interference in the work
of feminist organizations."
She added,
"Some aid agencies have gone
so far as to interfere,
not only in the nature of projects,
but also in deciding
who works on a project."
This is exactly what Rambo wants
in exchange for the glass of water
He operates under the glamorous slogan of
"Women Empowerment":
Social, economic,
and political empowerment
They are three organized,
structured and calculated steps:
First: "Social Empowerment of Women"
to promote individualism among women,
distance them from the family unit,
promote rivalry with men,
and encourage women to refuse
all forms of Qiwamah and guardianship
If the discourse is in a more
open environment
it would also encourage promiscuity
under the title of "sexual freedom"
This newly "freed" woman
like her foreign sisters,
whom we discussed before
will need a source of income
to achieve her independence from men
her liberation from man's
Qiwamah and responsibility
her freedom to commit zina,
have abortions,
or be a lesbian, without his interference
This leads to the second step:
The "Economic Empowerment of Women"
where women are given grants
to help them achieve economic independence
and job opportunities in all fields
without conditions; religious or otherwise
Third: The "Political
Empowerment of Women"
through the propagation of ideas
to form a public opinion among women
that their happiness and
the solution to their problems is in
social and economic empowerment
Hence, they should demand
that decision-makers enact laws
which empower women to
accomplish these goals
"What's wrong with you, man?
Don't you want women to be empowered?
You must be against women
You support their social oppression,
their economic impoverishment
and political marginalization!
We won't even listen to you
or give you a chance!
We won't listen
to the solution you propose!
Enough oppression, men!
Enough close-mindedness and rigidity
from you preachers!"
Now, what if the woman who rebelled
against the husband, father or brother
is not able to subsist on Rambo's glass
of water or his job opportunities?
What will she do?
This is where Gorel steps in to offer
usurious loans to meet her needs
But what if she cannot pay them back?
She will be thrown in prison just
like the man; after all, they are equal!
Consequently, we end up with a group
of gharimat (indebted women)
As this is an Islamic label,
Islam will be called upon
"O Islam, whom we have set aside
and violated in all that preceded
whose advocates were described as
close-minded and oppressive to women
come and solve the problem
of indebted women
persuade people that paying off
women's usurious debts
is zakat (obligatory charity)
and that they must please Allah
by paying money to Gorel."
For your information
in some small Muslim countries
you will find tens of thousands
of such indebted women
What if people's faith and chivalry
has dwindled in recent times?
What if they no longer care about
zakat or indebted women?
That's when the Muslim woman starts
following her Western sister's footsteps:
We will see her do everything
and bow in every direction for money
just as we discussed in the previous
episode on Western women
Now dear viewers, after this story of
Rambo, Gorel, and the glass of water
let's not rush to reject the offer!
Let's give them a chance and ask them
"Our 'charitable' neighbors: the Rambos,
before saving our women
allow us to ask you four questions
to check your qualifications for this
'Rambonian' mission
First question:
Have you saved your own women?
Did you save the college girl who sells
her honor to whoever pays her bills
the woman who is subjected to
violence in every place and time
according to the European Union Agency?
Did you save your women
from sexual harassment
in transportation, schools, universities,
offices and clinics?
Did you save the women forced
into prostitution because, as they put it,
of the inadequacy of
the social security system?
Did you save those forced
by their employers
to wear indecent clothes
to attract customers?
Did you save the savagely-battered women
who constitute one fourth
of your societies?
Did you save women
from sexual objectification?
Did you save the rape victims
who suffer devastating impacts
as your studies show?
Did you save the victims
of broken families:
The runaway and homeless children
(male and female)
—numbered in the millions—
who are exploited by sex traffickers?
Have you saved the millions
of aborted girls
and those thrown away in baby boxes?
Aren't your women and girls more deserving
of your chivalry, support and grants
honorable Rambos?
This is your present-day situation
confirmed by YOUR statistics
Is this the successful example
from your countries
that you want to export
to the Islamic world?
I mean, we are not talking
about possible outcomes
if Muslim women follow in your footsteps
We are not talking about projections
or ancient history
We are talking about
a current existing reality;
documented with
your own figures and reports!
That was the first question
honorable Rambos:
Did you save your women
before coming to save ours?
Second question:
Are you this distressed about
the Muslim woman, Rambos
that you're coming to our countries
to save her?
Frankly, we are unable
to thank you enough
May Allah reward you
in accordance with your intentions!
Is it possible, before you come
for the women in our countries
to make a stop and check
on other Muslim women
who may have a greater need for your help?
Try saving them first, your Honors
then, if you succeed, you can come over
to complete the mission of salvation!
I will not talk about Muslim women
in our region
whose houses are destroyed over their
heads, almost daily, by aerial bombings
without any coverage by the media
as if they were invisible!
I won't talk about the women of Chechnya,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Srebrenica
who were raped in the presence
of United Nations' forces!
I won't talk about issues past
No!
Since you are so brokenhearted
about the Muslim woman
and keen on her well-being
all we want from you, Rambos, is
to save the thousands of Uighur
Muslim women in East Turkestan
whose children are snatched by Chinese
authorities, raised as orphans, and
forced to grow up as non-believers
The Muslim mothers are imprisoned
just for practicing their religion!
Perhaps you haven't heard
about these women!
That's okay
Let us help you out by sharing
the story of Ruqaya Farhat
a survivor of a Chinese prison camp
Ruqaya escaped from China
by paying a large amount of money
She describes how Chinese forces
arrested her and her students
while they were memorizing the Quran
how they were all raped by the Chinese
how they unleashed police dogs on them
how they plucked out their nails
put out cigarettes on their bodies
how they hammered nails into their hands
and threw those who died
from torture in garbage bags!!!
Why all that cruelty?!
Because they say, "our Lord is Allah"!
Maybe Islam is not on your list of
'freedoms' to be promoted, Rambos?
Perhaps you have not seen what
The Independent published
about the Muslim Chinese women
whose husbands are detained in
concentration camps, just for being Muslim
and who are forced to endure the presence
of male Chinese soldiers in their homes
–for 'surveillance' purposes–
and forced to share their beds with them!
What is happening to Muslim women
in China is not an old issue
Rather, it is at its peak nowadays
Current headlines in the media include:
"Uighur Muslims: Persecution at its peak"
Perhaps China is too big
for you to handle
it may be difficult
for you to interfere
That's okay
Go to a small country like Burma
where Muslim women are burned alive
and their children are hung on gallows
We cannot put up the photos
because YouTube would delete the episode
But Hasinah's look
this Muslim woman who witnessed
the death of more than fifty
of her Muslim brothers and sisters
and who was horrifically tortured herself
Her look is enough!
Add to that the many accounts of rape of
Rohingya women by Myanmar armed forces
Perhaps, you haven't seen
this clip, Rambos!
Please don't be distracted by the
scenery and start taking photos
This clip is of hundreds of thousands
of Muslim Rohingya women
fleeing on foot from rape and
incineration to Bangladesh
where they will try to survive
in the camps of lingering death
We saw you, Rambos,
in South Sudan
where you succeeded in getting
a signature for CEDAW
Well, since you are in South Sudan
let's take a detour to Central Africa
where Muslim men and women
are slaughtered with machetes
by French-supported 'Anti-balaka' militia
in the presence of UN forces
Perhaps you did not know
about all these women
Well, now you know
Please conclude the rescue mission
to save these oppressed Muslim women
before you come to our countries!
Or is it that you only specialize
in the elimination of
'discrimination against women'
but you have no problem with the
'elimination of the women themselves'?!
Why is it that when it comes
to the killing
rape, eviction and torture
of Muslim women
the most you do is condemn
if anything at all
and nothing changes on the ground
In contrast, when you're promoting freedom
for zina, abortion, and homosexuality
and forsaking Qiwamah, you follow up
enforce budgets and demand reports
The third question, dear Rambos, is:
How can you be the solution
when you are a large part of the problem?
Isn't the octopus stretching out
one of its many arms
to give the Muslim woman a glass of water
the same one who stole, with his other
arm and Gorel's help, water from her tank?
Aren't they both the cause of poverty,
illiteracy, ignorance, and subjugation
that many Muslim men and women endure?!
This, in turn, contributes to injustice:
By the woman towards herself and
towards men and vice versa
Isn't it the same octopus
who is corrupting morals,
destroying values and fighting Islam
so that injustice and the absence of
values become the norm in society?
Do you truly care about women?
Then refrain, just a little,
from stealing their countries' resources
Don't you carry the slogan of:
'I want to take the oil'?
The fourth question, dear Rambos, is:
What gives you the right
to set the standard by which
you judge our societies?
As Muslims, we have our own standards
and values that govern our lives
Our standard is obedience to Allah
by establishing truth, justice
and vicegerency on Earth
to please and satisfy our Lord,
to Whom we return
This is what delineates for men and women
their rights and responsibilities
and makes their relationship one
of integration and cooperation
for righteousness and piety
not one of rivalry,
competition and conflict!
A woman can be a homemaker,
teacher, doctor or researcher
any profession which allows her to
uphold the values of obedience to Allah,
truth, and justice
The nobleness of her profession
is directly related
to her achievement of these values
And you, Rambos, what do you have?
Your rejection of true revelation means
you have not established truth or justice
You carry the slogan of
absolute freedom and equality
yet you failed to apply it
in your own societies
especially as it pertains to women
as we detailed before
What do you have to offer us Muslims
when you have failed in all that?
Do you intend to reduce the Muslim woman
to a deformed replica of the Western woman
whom you chew up, spit out,
toy with, and degrade?
Even if we assume
you have good intentions
how can you save the Muslim woman
when you despise her and all the
constituents of her pride and honor?
A woman in Islam is honored for her
faith, piety, and morals
as well as her role in raising
generations on these tenets
while you despise and oppose these tenets!
You oppose faith, piety and morals
so how can you save whom
you despise and fight?
Women in our religion are told
by their Lord, what can be translated as,
"O mankind, We have created you
from a male and a female,
and made you into races and tribes,
so that you may identify one another.
Surely the noblest of you,
in Allah’s sight,
is the one who is most pious of you."
(Quran Translated Meaning 49:13)
Given that piety is worthless
to you, Rambos
a pious woman must be
worthless to you too
A woman's value in Islam, as decreed by Allah,
is in matters which mean nothing to you
Brothers and sisters,
listen to this Quranic verse,
and imagine what would it mean
to the UN, CEDAW,
the Beijing Declaration, women rights
organizations, or any Gorels out there
Allah says, what can be translated as,
"Surely for Muslim men and women,
believing men and women,
devout men and women,
truthful men and women,
patient men and women,
humble men and women,
charitable men and women,
fasting men and women,
men and women who guard their chastity,
and men and women who remember
Allah often, for all of them
Allah has prepared forgiveness
and a great reward." (Quran 33:35)
All of this is meaningless to the Rambos
Believing, devout, truthful,
patient women,
humble, charitable, fasting women,
women who guard their chastity,
and remember Allah often
All of this is trivial for the Rambos
and women thus characterized
are of no value to them!
On the contrary
the Rambos are keen on making women
unchaste and immoral, as we have seen
So how is a woman valued
according to the Rambos?
In practice
by the woman's physical attractiveness
and potential for sexual objectification
as shown
Whereas the publicized values are:
The woman as a money-maker
and employee in the various fields
who is proving her ability
to compete with the man
That is why the Rambos, along with Gorel's
media in Muslim countries, are keen on
portraying the woman whose role is to
educate her children and care for her family
as an "unproductive housewife"
The Rambos criticize
the low percentage of women
in the workforce (per their statistics)
and consider housewives
as a marginalized group
At the same time, they highlight
the "success" of working women
regardless of their field
The first female truck driver!
The first female gas station attendant!
The first female mechanic
to set up a car shop
and repair men's cars!
The first female sanitation worker!
Any job will do! All that matters
is that women are working
The woman at home working
on her children's psychological,
intellectual and spiritual development
providing a place of refuge and serenity
for her children and husband
instilling the values of obedience
to Allah, truth, justice, and morality
this woman, to the Rambos,
is unproductive
jobless!
Unemployed!
The woman upholding the faith,
morals and sound character
is of little value to you, Rambos
because faith, morals, and soundness
of character, are meaningless to you
What about the pious Muslim working woman:
The doctor, teacher, and researcher
who utilizes her work to uphold
faith and establish higher values?
She has no added value
and does not deserve the spotlight
because her values are worthless
to the Rambos and Gorels
In fact, they are unwanted values
unless they are common human virtues
completely detached
from their religious roots and the
comprehensive Islamic viewpoint
Just recently, a renouned visual artist
was denied a managerial position
because she wears a veil!
What if, dear Rambos
as a result of the loose morals
you helped instill
and the desire-fueled environments
you encourage
the woman is subjected to things
which harm her religion or morals?
- "Like what?"
Like romantic feelings between young women
and men who cannot afford to get married
because you and Gorel
stole their country's wealth
the resultant prohibited sexual affairs
and disobedience to Allah
and all the expected outcomes
from affairs outside of marriage
- "If it's with her consent,
then no problem!
- She is free and equal to the man
- As for Allah's boundaries, prohibitions,
- Shari'a (Islamic law)
all these don't concern us!"
This is why you will never find, among
the many Rambo grants to "save" women
a single grant for
"Facilitating Marriage of Women"
or a grant titled:
"Educating Women to Raise Pious Children
for a Virtuous Work Environment
for Both Genders"
You will find, however, many grants for
"Women's employment"
Where?!
In the corrupt workplaces
they helped create
You won't find a grant for providing
separate transportation for women
or suitable work environments for women
separate from men
On the contrary, separation is considered
as discrimination against women
Okay, Rambos! What if Muslim women
were subjected to sexual harassment and
exploitation in these workplaces?
- "Where's the problem in that?
Our women are subjected to harassment too."
All problems pale in comparison to
the benefit of women's employment
in the Rambos' view
- "If you are worried about pregnancy
don't be
- we've recommended
the decriminalization of abortion
- Abortion may be a bitter pill
to swallow at first
- but soon, you'll willingly throw
your babies into the garbage
- Trust us
We're the experts."
You want to save
the Muslim women, Rambos?!
I swear, we should be the ones
saving your women!
We recite Allah's words
what can be translated as,
"You are the best nation produced
for mankind" (Quran 3:110)
For ALL mankind!
We also recite, "Had Allah not repelled
a group of people by the might of another,
corruption would have dominated the earth"
(Quran Translated Meaning 2:251)
We've seen your corruption!
We should be rescuing
your women, as we recite
"And We have not sent you, [Muhammad],
"except as a mercy to the WORLDS."
(Quran Translated Meaning 21:107)
You know what?
If we ever witness the rise of a true and
pure Islamic entity that represents Islam
Muslims should give Western women
the right of asylum to the Islamic world
even if they don't convert to Islam
Every honorable woman who wants to
protect her virtue from your corruption
and her dignity from
your humiliation, Rambos
should be granted the right of asylum
to Muslim countries
because protecting human dignity
is a main goal of Islamic law
even for non-Muslims
By Allah's grace, while in the US
I participated in activities
to introduce foreigners to Islam
I still remember the happy moment when a
woman from Houston converted to Islam
You Rambos, want to save Muslim women!
This is beyond ridiculous!
I swear by Allah, brothers and sisters;
we should grieve that we have sunk so low
that through our injustice towards one
another we encouraged these Rambos
to set themselves up as judges between us
This has got to be
a motivation for us all
as believers, to abide Allah's command
"Hold fast to Allah's rope all together;
do not split into factions,
remember Allah’s favor to you:
you were enemies,
and then He brought your hearts together and
you became brothers by His grace,
you were about to fall into a pit of Fire
and He saved you from it,
in this way Allah makes
His revelations clear to you
so that you may be rightly guided."
(Quran Translated Meaning 3:103)
"Be a community that calls
for what is good..." (QTM 3:104)
So, now they call us
to their falsehood?
Is this how low we've sunk?!!
No, we should call them to our path
"Be a community that calls
for what is good,
urges what is right,
and forbids what is wrong,
"those who do this are the
successful ones." (QTM 3:104)
The Rambos' intervention is sufficient
humiliation, in and of itself
to make us return to our senses
to make us (men and women)
stop treating each another unjustly
Any form of injustice between us
is an invitation for the Rambos
and Gorels to interfere!
Back to our starting point
to connect the end of this episode
to the start of the previous one
Please note, brothers and sisters
that the first headquarters of the UN
—who tracks the ratification of CEDAW—
was constructed on land
bought by Nelson Rockefeller
whose family sits at the top of the capitalism
pyramid and influences American policy
We end this episode
by addressing the Rambos,
"Leave it to us and we will solve
our own problems
by returning to Allah's book (the Quran)
and His Prophet's tradition."
"Then is it the judgment
of ignorance they desire?
But who is better than Allah in judgment
for a people who are certain." (QTM 5:50)
What are the characteristics
of our solution?
We will discuss that in the next episode
Allah willing
We conclude by reciting Allah's words,
what can be translated as,
"Allah intends to explain to you and to
guide you to the ways of those before you,
and to turn graciously towards you.
Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
"Allah intends to turn
graciously towards you,
"while those who follow desires
want you to deviate
"(from the right path), a huge deviation.
Allah intends to make things easy on you.
And man has been created weak."
(Quran 4:26-28)
May the peace of Allah be upon you
