Islam is my birth religion, you know it onoly second hand, which gives you no right to speak about Islam in totally oppressed societies like Pakistan, or for that matter to even imply that the hijab can ever be progressive.
For me it’s obvious that gender is the basis of feminism, not race, feminism is racially inclusive, not divisive, so it can’t sit with white or black nationalism, got it yet or, no?
I think a Pakistani speaking about America is a big deal, that’s funny, cos YOU speaking about us has become a cottage industry in the west, and when you start to speak about supporting patriarchal theocratic oppression, in order to rationalize the reaction in ure own country against racism, I got every right to speak out. If u don’t want to get us involved, don’t get us involved, just do this;
1) No support for Islam
2) Don’t define feminism along America’s racial fault lines
Another, America is nice, peaceful, no massacres, no genocides, no round ups by security services, etc etc, problems of America, it’s another. Also, look what’s happening now to Chechen girls (white), Bosnian girls (white) and millions of girls of eastern europe (white), they suffering really bad, terrible stuff- from Amsterdam to Dubai, no one is help for them, how come? So American people is moan if they got a broke window, if their neighbours and sisters getting their whole house smashed down- they saying nothing, just concerned with their own broken window, no way. Another, Pakistan girls are BLACK, we same like u, in all ways, just I am trying to help people in me own country and make sure u as feminists stay on point with our mission.
So again, we got to be sure that there is no dealings with woc feminists and reactionary fascist forces in alliance with Islamist oppressors in Pakistan and other Muslim countries. The effect of not doing this is catastrophic.
white men destroyed the black family, white men tried to enslave the world, white men are trafficking women out of CIS and they are trawling the world with their stinking dollars to corrupt women and girls from Moscow to Bangkok. They are the ENEMY.
Brown and black men are terrorizing women in Muslim countries, raping poor maids on a systematic level, shaming women who refuse Hijab and still harassing those who do. Women who want to fight back risk everything from beatings to beheading or stoning. Brown men kidnapped the only person I loved and forced that person on a flight to Pakistan. Brown men got me so sick I was totally dysfunctional in Arab country X when I was still at school. On and on it goes. THEY ARE THE ENEMY, no iffs or buts.
I think u got it, abuse is abuse, cos when you suffering, you just don’t see color, you just see a man’s leering face u want to smash.
