I got a poorly written response, strewn with grammatical errors, from a Muslim in London. I'm not going to post his response, mainly because I don't want Google to confuse his atrocious writing to be my own and reduce my search engine rankings accordingly. I will instead write what I posted in response. I suspect that the original will be deleted or flagged as "racist" or some nonsense like that. So, here it is:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Farid Lavergne,
Your worldview and mine are diametrically opposed. I
seriously doubt we will ever be able to see eye to eye on any of these issues.
But, seeing that you live in London (my ancestral homeland), I will assume that
you’ve been exposed to progressive ideas enough to have a basic comprehension.
I won’t just throw my hands up and assume that you’re just a religious nut who
seeks to impose iron-age values on people who don’t share your religion or
beliefs.
First, you talk about “your women”, as if women are property
to be bartered and traded at any man’s whim. I call them women, which reflects
their individuality and freedom.
You talk about drinking alcohol as though it is some evil
thing. The only reason you believe that is because some iron-age book tells you
to believe it. I, on the other hand, know that drinking too much alcohol is
unhealthy and dangerous. That’s why I don’t drink. But, I don’t go around
judging those who do.
You talk about women having sex, and dumb men feeling “lucky”
to get the leftovers. Again, this seems to come from your religion’s
duplicitous sexuality rules for men and women. In Islam, a woman can be raped,
and she is forced to marry her rapist (provided he pay her father a fee). Aside
from the money, no punishment is doled out to the rapist. In some circumstances
a rape victim is charged with adultery and severely punished, while the man
gets away with nothing but a religious reprimand. What’s worse, a woman can be
covered from head to toe in a burka, yet when she is raped, your backward
society has the unmitigated gall to say that she somehow provoked it.
You also talk about women “baring all” and offering
themselves to everyone. You will note that, despite women walking around in
mini-skirts and tank tops, rape is fairly rare. That’s because men learn to
respect a woman’s beauty without the need to have sex. It’s called
self-control. When you say “offering themselves” because they dare to show
their legs in public, you show a complete lack of understanding for the reason
women dress pretty. It isn’t just to be attractive to men. It is also because
they want to look pretty and feminine. Even if a woman walked around completely
naked, that would not be an invitation to rape her. Any man who suggests to isn’t
just a misogynistic pig, he’s a predator who needs to be in prison.
You mention the priests raping boys. That is a catholic
thing. I am not catholic, and neither is the country where you reside
(England). The problem there is having celibate priests holding sway over young
people. But let us not forget your culture’s love of child brides and forced
marriages.
You also talk about junkies, by which I assume you mean drug
addicts. I have news for you, my dear. Drug addicts exist everywhere. Don’t
forget that your deal Taliban comrades were drug lords above all else. When
your beloved brothers come to my country, they have this unholy habit of
selling drugs and joining gangs. Just look up the Olmstead County Minnesota
jail roster. Look at the huge number of Somalian inmates and see what they have
been charged with. The crimes will invariably include: selling drugs,
distributing drugs, possession of drugs, pimping, assault, and domestic
violence. Don’t preach to me about the ills of “junkies”, when your own brethren
embrace that awful lifestyle as soon as it is available to them. This trend
only shows that your religion doesn’t teach adherents about self control.
Now let us talk about “men marrying men” due to “infidelity”.
Your words betray your ignorance of homosexuality. A gay man’s desire to marry
another man has nothing to do with “infidelity”. In fact, it’s quite the
opposite. Gay men want stable, loving, lifelong relationships as well. Gay and
lesbian people are born with an attraction to the same sex. Scientific studies
have shown that it isn’t possible to change a person’s sexual orientation, even
when they are motivated to do so by religious belief. So, if a person is born
gay (as I was), and they want to share their life with the person they love,
that is called fidelity, not infidelity. It is called love. Get over it. I know
that you’re iron-age book of mysticism tells you that homosexuality is a sin.
But, it also says that cutting your hair and shaving are sins as well. Doesn’t
it say something about not wearing mixed fabric clothing? Also, where are all
the Jinn?
Finally, you talk about divorce. Yes, it is absolutely true
that we have a problem with divorce. But, divorce rates have been declining
over the last 40 years. For example: In 1960, Sweden had 6.7 divorces per 1000
people. In 2011, it dropped to 5 per 1000 people. Romania had 10.7 per 1000
people in 1960, but it has dropped to 4.9 in 2011. In the United States,
divorce rates went from 8.2 per 1000 people in 2000 down to 6.8 in 2011.
Meanwhile, in Muslim-dominated countries like Malaysia, the divorce rate is
rising quickly. In Malaysia, 82% of divorces are Muslim couples. Hypocrisy
much?
As you can see, when you mix forced and young marriages,
many of them fail. Once women gain the legal ability to exit a bad abusive
marriage, they do so. The reason western divorce rates are dropping is because
we don’t enter marriage until we find someone we are compatible with. What do
you suppose is worse: Scenario 1: Children being raised by a married couple
(woman often very young), yet they witness abuse and violence in the marriage;
or Scenario 2: A happy couple who chose each other, respect each other, and
only have arguments that they resolve without violence? Do you honestly think
the children from scenario 1 will turn out better than the other? I suspect the
scenario 1 children grow up to be junkies and gang bangers.
On a final note: If you are going to live in England, learn
to speak and write proper English. You aren’t going to convince anyone that you
should be believed or trusted when you have deplorable grammar and spelling.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toward the end, I added something like: "If you don't like western culture, leave".
That's all. I just wanted to record the original somewhere just for my own knowledge. Maybe it will help others to understand my worldview a little better, even if they disagree.
